This is based on a Sunday afternoon visit. A visit at a different time and with difference dancers may be a different experience. Pros: Wait staff, clean, smoke-free, musical variety, dancers, door cost. Cons: Musical variety, dancers, dancer cost. Summary: I rate 2.5 stars(with .5 coming from one single dancer). I was bored half the time and the entertainment level was significantly inconsistent. There were several times that no dancer was on stage, or even in sight. I also learned that $ 10 dance specials are crap. If I have to pay $ 20 for a decent dance, I might as well go to a club closer to my house. I told a couple of the dancers it was my birthday, which it was, and the only lap dance worth remembering was from a dancer I didn’t tell about my b-day. Way to make me feel special. I will not be returning due to the lack of good lap dances. The restrooms were clean and in working order. The waitresses were always circulating. My waitress was a 4 star professional, which is more than acceptable, and stopped by frequently enough(she’d have to be more friendly or flirty to earn a 5 star). The music changed from 80s to hip hop to club to rock. Whether or not this is good depends on your musical preferences — however, with an eclectic mix, you’re bound to hear music you like at some point and probably some music you don’t like. Door cost was $ 3 and my sodas were $ 4.25. One thing I want to point out when discussing the dancers is that Sunday is advertised as $ 10 dances all day and night, and I went in the afternoon. My overall rating is based partly on the fact that this advertisement brings in people, including me, who are expecting decent lap dances for $ 10. Dancer A had the college geek look and was slightly above average in looks. She was great on the pole(entertaining aerial tricks) and average on the stage. I wanted a lap dance but the one time she walked past me, I couldn’t get her attention from my seat. Dancer B was an older dancer who still had a great figure and average looks. She didn’t use the pole but was an entertaining dancer on stage. Her lap dance was 2 for $ 20(technically $ 10 a dance, but only if you get 2). The lap dance was average — a couple of her moves put me in an uncomfortable position, but her open and friendly personality balanced the uncomfortable dance moves back to average. At least we had decent conversation. Dancer C was the prettiest in the room, by far(hubba hubba). Her pole skill was blah but her stage dancing was wonderfully sexy and seductive. Her lap dance was $ 20(not the advertised $ 10) and was average. I gave her $ 5 extra tip, hoping the next dance would have extras, and she promised to come back after her required stage dance, but she did NOT come back. I saw her sitting in other guys’ laps and flirting with them more than she flirted with me. I might not be A+ at conversation, but was my money not green enough? Dancer D was above-average looks and a happy, high-energy personality. She charged $ 10 for the first dance and $ 20 thereafter(not exactly the $ 10 policy). I bought one dance from her during which she bounced on me like a trampoline and rubbed her beaded bra roughly over my face(without ever taking it off). I wanted a sexy lap dance, not a frontal shiatsu massage. Terrible. Dancer E had a decent body(if you’re into her body type) but an unattractive face. She didn’t use the pole much and and her stage dance was sub-par. I did not want a lap dance from her. Dancer F had a decent body and short blond hair. I somehow never got a good look at her face(it was always hidden in shadow). She was terrible on the pole and terrible on stage. She was posing, not dancing, and she seemed constantly distracted. HOWEVER, I was not getting any attention from any dancers so I flagged her down as she walked past. Her lap dances were $ 20(again, not the advertised $ 10). However, she was the best lap dance of all. She was sexy, soft, and comfortable. She ran her fingers through my hair, felt my ears and chest like they turned her on, and stared me in the eyes with seduction. On my second and third dances, she moaned in my ear, kissed me on the cheek more than once, and complimented me. I paid her, plus $ 10 tip, and she gave me a kiss on the lips as appreciation. She went above and beyond. Too bad I had to leave soon after discovering her. This one dancer raised my rating half a star.

Still no Lacie… she was the best one here.:(I don’t think I’ll be coming back with my friends. All the good gorgeous girls seem to leave this place. Anyone know if she’s working at one of the other clubs?

Great manager Brad, ask for him as he’ll take care of you. The girls are ok, except some haters. Food is not the best but service is good.

Go on a Sunday or a Wednesday. See Elizabeth. Trust me. Alex, our waitress, made our night. She’s fabulous. This is a good spot, and does not have any of the douchey qualities that Palazzio has. The team running the place has apparently been there a long time and the dancers seem to be treated well and are treating well too.

I just got bad impression about this place, because a girl(lily i remember) pushed me for a dance for 30 bucks in the last minutes but she told me to pay 60 bucks after all because two songs were passed! I did not know that and she did not notice me about it. So I finally gave her 60 bucks for a short dance and just left the place…

Their website advertised no cover and two for one dances. They charged a $ 5 cover which I was happy to pay. It was all fun and games until 1 am, at which point a dancer tied to charge twice the rate. So something that I thought cost $ 10 suddenly cost $ 80. When we refused, a manager came over and tried to convince us that we were at fault. I used to visit this place once a year, but never again.

I noticed I hadn’t yet reviewed this place although I have been here before. As such, I went in on Saturday night. The first thing to know about this place is that it’s extremely tiny and it didn’t help there was a sizable crowd(expected for the weekend, I reckon). I felt a little claustrophobic not to mention that, for at least 40% of the time, there was someone standing in front of me blocking my view to any of the stages. I haven’t ever heard much about Expose but, I got to admit, I was pleasantly surprised of the quantity of good looking entertainers. I also saw a few familiar faces who told me they’re treated nicely by management. I liked very much the little booths on the back which you can rent for the whole night for only $ 20. However, as they are at the back of the establishment, it’s extremely likely you won’t be seeing much of the stage given the standing patrons mentioned above. With all that being said, the service rendered by my waitress was dreadful. I drink like a champion but, at the end of that night, I couldn’t feel even the slightest buzz. Not only was she taking forever to bring my drinks when ordered but, she also let my empty drinks stand for up to 15 minutes in several occasions. I do have a little bit of a concern about the crowd that gathered at Expose that night. It felt like the average age of the patronage was rather young; mostly college kids. Now, I normally don’t care about who else is at a strip club but, it was clear to me that, a huge portion of the crowd, were drunk. In my experience, highly intoxicated young guys have a high yield rate of starting fights for no apparent reason. I am not trying to bash anyone, mind you. I didn’t have such experience on that day. I reckon what I am trying to say is that I felt a little unsafe. You may stop reading here as the following is just a small personal and uncalled for rant of mine: I was delighted there’s no bathroom valet! I know some valets from other clubs who are very nice and I’d tip them sometimes but, I feel they’re completely unnecessary and sometimes, a bit of an annoyance; I know how to wash my hands and use a little bit of tissue to dry them out. I have done it before, after all! Furthermore, more often than not I am coming from doing a line off the toilet cover. Let’s just go out on a limb for a second and say hygiene is probably not my biggest concern at the moment.

It’s like a local hipster bar with a modern flare and some damn hot women! Got a buzz, some grub and sexy dance and didn’t even dent the wallet. My new fav spot to escape and be myself!

Attended a bachelor party here yesterday, loved this place, girls were cool(attractive as well), wait staff even though busy, still gave us great service. Told my wife about this place and now she wants to check it out. So probably have to pay you guys another visit next time we are up there. Thanks for a fun night expose.

A very nice club that doesn’t disappoint. The girls are nice and they aren’t stuck up like other clubs. Waitresses are also super friendly and bring drinks out pretty fast. I’d recommend this place if you want a mixture of different kind of girls. I assumed it was bigger by the way the club looked on the outside but we had fun anyway.

My older brothers brought me here for my birthday, and I had a AWESOMETIME! Dancers were all exceptionally Great Looking and not too pushy with asking if I wanted a dance. Aggressive is cool, but too aggressive is annoying. Drinks were strong and beers were Cold, and service was quick and very attentive! Overall, the place was clean, good music and had a fun vibe to it.

I’ve been here 2 times. The first time I came here it was the most fun I’ve had in awhile and I was very happy. However the next 2 times I came here I was dealt so injustly(not a word, I know) in my opinion that I feel like I should write what happened. So on the 2nd visit with Expose I asked this girl for a dance there right? Well she danced for me and all for quite awhile. The dances there were supposed to be 10 dollars… then guess what? She says that she gave me more than one dance and tells me that I have to pay 20… even tho’ I only asked her for one dance. I gave her a 10 instead and she gave me a snide look. Then right after that someone asks me for a drink, and I said no(I already brought one drink there, which was very expensive might I add), and she kicked me out cuz she said that every customer there had to buy 2 drinks or leave. This happens right after a stripper tried to rip me off. There was so much room there for people to sit at that it makes absolutely no sense that I should be kicked out… I mean I paid for a dance and 1 drink. Almost 20 dollars worth of money to Expose… and they have the nerve to kick me out? So the 3rd time I came there I was pretty skeptical of the place. I brought one drink like usual(an orange juice, no point drinking alcohol I decided if it’s too expensive to get drunk). I asked a girl called Lexi to dance for me there. I saw her there the first time I was there. So she danced for me… and after the dance she told me she gave me 4 dances even tho’ I only asked for 1… and she charged me 40 dollars. I decided to be generous and give her a 20. She then said to give me the extra 20 dollars or she’d ask the manager to kick me out, and that I had to «take care of her» in a very sinister tone of voice. After I said no because I only asked for 1 dance, not 4, she told me to **** off. Then the manager came up to me and kicked me out of the bar. He even did it even after I told him what happened. It seemed like he didn’t believe what I had to say based off of his stern countenance Sounds terrible right? Anyways that’s my story. If I were to come there again I would never even think about supporting this place with my money. My 2 star rating is mainly because the girls there are very hot, the great first time I had there, and that’s it. Overall, I loath this place because the strippers try to rip you off, and the manager was an asshole. I’ll probably try The Yellow Rose out sometime next, hopefully the dancers there won’t force you to pay more for something you have not ordered, or have a drink limit like stupid Expose does. Such a shady place.

I had no idea this place existed. Went to a show at Red 7 with a friend this evening and she persuaded me to stop here before bringing her home. Nice atmosphere. The employees I talked to were all incredibly friendly. Had the pleasure of meeting a really nice young lady named Helen. Super sweet. Incredibly beautiful as well. The club was smoke free, which was definitely a plus. Not a drinker, so I can’t tell you what to expect where that’s concerned. Cover $ 8. Dances $ 20 per song.

I guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. I thought I was pretty, ahem, well informed on the strip club excursion but I learned something last weekend, and I have my companion to thank for that. She illustrated the lesson brilliantly. I will save you the pain of learning this on your own. Here it is: Do NOT sit right next to a stage. There. You can thank me later for that as it will save you from getting nailed in the head with a stripper spike as she enthusiastically spins on the pole. Cause that is a complete buzzkill and your fun will end in a flash of plastic and pain. However, prior to that incident, I was really diggin the joint. I had never been to this establishment before and I guess I had my own pre-conceived notions going in. Since this is Deep South Congress, for some reason, I was imagining all the girls would have pit hair and smell like patchouli. I was very pleasantly surprised to see quite a few, well groomed lovely ladies and they smelled pretty good too :) I was able to get an impromptu instruction on poppin my booty(something I aspire to do someday) and also got a sweet kiss from a girl(and I do mean girl… maybe 21?) for handing her my glass of wine while she sweated on stage. Once again, the major flaw in this establishment was the fact they wouldn’t let me in without a penile escort. Luckily I had one or they woulda lost my dolla dolla bills ya’ll. If I ever find myself Deep South with a penis again, I just might go back!
