Boardwalk

Inside perspective

I am a dancer at the Boardwalk since two weeks ago. I looked up reviews to see what others thought about it, and there seems to be a lot of negatives stemming from a clear understanding of what this type of place is about. To start off with, yes I am straight. This place operates like any other strip club(if you think BW's guys are out for your money, go to a women strip. Its like comparing a shark and a guppy) If I sense that someone is truly looking for a hookup/relationship/ etc..(A very stupid thing to do at a strip club where the dancers are paid by tips,lap dances), I tell them I am straight. Most dont care, the BW is about quick thrills and fulfilling the patrons fantasies(for a price, and only to a point) A lot of gay men like a very masculine guy, and straight fits the bill. If you have to have a gay guy, just do a little social networking and you will get to know who is who. Also remember the dancers work 6-9 hours a night and meet dozens of other men just like you that want to hook up with them(not to come off rude, but thats the reality. Another reason to reconsider trying to hook up there) There are some dancers that are for lack of a better word, lowlifes that walk around begging for money and make the place worse for everyone. I wish they would quit. One more thing, I read a lot of reviews in which people used the word "hustle". I agree, ever since moving to Fl that has happened to me quit often. Keep your eyes on your $$$, that means everywhere, not just the BW. Fl operates on tourists spending their(your) money.

You get what you pay for!

This is a good gay strip bar! Hot dancers (in all varieties) are plentiful. Whether they are gay or straight I do not know or care. I'm not there to start a long term relationship. It's a fun bar.

Uhhhh....No thanks.

Just don't even bother. Why on earth would I pay for some boy to wave his ass in my face or bounce on my lap with his clothes on? If I'm paying, that boy will be hotter than these and naked! Its not my taste and I think it's a ripoff, a cover charge to get hustled? Not for me.

Avoid it or you will get ripped off!

I live in South Florida and absolutely do not recommend this place to any out of townees. This place is nothing more than a cover up for a hustler bar and a bad one at that too. The problem #1 is the dancers aka hustlers, thieves, thugs. These guys are mostly straight, behave like they don't want to be there, they look at patrons in disgust and are very obvious that they are there to get your money period. These guys can become very aggressive with demands for tips and lap dances or "whatever else." Avoid lap dance with these guys at all costs because there is no set price for lap dances and they make up their own prices. They don't tell you the prices up front and change them afterwords and become aggressive if you refuse to pay the made up amount. If you decide to go, just stand back and watch these guys walking around the bar like sharks measuring up their prey! Warning, if you are an older gentleman or have "silver/grey" hair, they will go after you like bees to honey. Also this place is very very smoky with poor ventialtion. You have been warned!

Great place...

If you like being hustled, that is. The general setup of this place isn't very patron-friendly. The hustlers and go go boys begin to shake you down the minute you walk in, and some of them are very aggressive. I don't mind stuffing bills in a go go boy's G-string as long as he's hot, friendly, and puts on a good show. Most gay men are probably the same way because they go to gay stripper bars like the Boardwalk specifically for this reason. But here's the problem, some of these dancers are straight and its very obvious. Some of them also aren't that great looking or in all that great shape, and they don't know how to dance or how to put on a really fun stripper act. Not that a straight guy can't pull of a strip show in a gay club. We've all seen them do it many times in other clubs. But there's just something about the Boardwalk to me, it seems; they're more about milking the crowd than they are about fun and entertainment. The people who own this joint should spend a weekend at the male strip clubs in Vegas to see how its really done.
