Centerfolds

Friendly but sketchy.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. I have a number of complaints about Centerfolds, from trivial to fairly serious and concerning.
First, the most concerning and unsavory facet of my personal experience at Centerfolds, which I am putting right here at the top because everyone NEEDS TO read this!
In the short amount of time we spent in the club on a Saturday night, I put one drink on my debit card. With tip the total was $ 17. (Expensive, but expected at a strip club.) When reviewing my bank account on the following Monday morning, I noticed a $ 100 charge from a place called «12 Lagrange.» My immediate thought was — «I saw a strip club scamming people like this on Law & Order once…» I promptly phoned my bank to dispute the charge. Well, a week+ goes by and I call the bank to check in. They report that the establishment has rebutted the dispute and requires me to produce a receipt in order to refund the disputed charges. I got off the phone upset and just decided to check in on that week’s charges in my online banking app just for shits and giggles. Oddly enough, my $ 100 charge from 12 Lagrange has disappeared and been replaced with a $ 17 charge from «OZNEMOC RESTAURA NT GP Boston Ma». It is clear to me that they likely do this often — overcharge cards in hopes that no one notices, when a dispute comes through it is rebutted to divert any red flags, and the charge is adjusted to keep the disputer quiet and happy. I am sure 50%+ of the people who are overcharged never even notice.
My less concerning complaints are as follows:
As mentioned before, we went out on a Saturday night. Myself, my husband, and another couple. The place wasn’t slow, but not at all packed. The bouncers/​doormen were nice but it was kind of a strange vibe. We were asked to «get in line,» regardless of the fact that… there was no line.
The $ 20 cover was a bit much when taking into consideration that we have paid the same to get into larger, nicer, and cleaner clubs. Centerfolds is VERY small and VERY dated. The décor had the ’80’s Miami Tony Montana vibe — white «marble,» blueish purple lights, etc. The dim lighting disguised the filth in the club, and the tables /​chairs were cheap and uncomfortable, similar to what would be found in a low-​level function hall like an Elks Club.
The dancers. The dancers were all very pretty and had your typical «ideal» body — skinny with nice, usually fake, boobies. However, they were the most boring strippers I had ever seen. They walked onto the (one-​person) staged and slowly writhed around for three or four songs. It was awful. There was also next to NO diversity. However, the one (adorable) black stripper was the ONLY ONE who got up on the pole, and the only one who approached our group at all to talk or solicit lap dances.
All in all, the night was wasted, and the resonating scumminess of the place in my financial life was downright abusive and distasteful.

The amount of calm, friendly professionalism I experienced here should be an example to every other service business.
Door Guys: Super nice and easy to work with. Guys next time remind me to tip you on the way in.
Floor Guys: Sorry I vaped. I don’t consider it smoking because it doesn’t contain tar or bad smells. However, I respect your policies and understand the reasons. Our conversation about it took 5 seconds and I appreciate that.
Floor Manager: Nicest guy in the place. Good looking to boot.
Waitress: Perfect timing every time. You should teach others in New York how to do their jobs. I’m looking at you Spotted Pig waiters.
Lolita: Hit me on LinkedIn.

If I could give it 0 I would. I was closing out a large bar tab and a bouncer rudely told me to move cause I was blocking a high traffic area.
I politely said I was closing out, literally all it needed was my signature, check in hand and he continued to be a jerk and told me to move.
It made me want to not give the polite bar staff my money but I did anyway. Because I’m a nice fair person. I’m sorry your roid raged security guy deprived possibly one of your dancers from earning a nice chunk of change because I was going to buy my girlfriend a private dance. Oh well.

I use to enjoy coming here a few years ago. Came here the other day with a friend and the drinks are limited. Price for them are average like every other club. The girls seemed nice not too bad so far. Bartender sucked. Filled with a lot of pms and attitude. Weird situation there. Bad day maybe and I happen to be the punching bag.
Oh warning, you cannot wear athletic clothing so they told me. I changed my clothes, came back and a guy with gym pants walked by me. What a joke.

If I could give it no stars I would. The staff is very rude and the old man who manages the place is particularly pretentious and creepy. He had me removed because I was sitting with a girl who he was trying to hit on evidently (he probably could’ve been her grandfather). If you’re a guy you have the fact it’s a no touch strip club going for you — even the lap dances. If you’re a girl you get to deal with creepy old Mr. Magoo running the joint, with his own agenda in mind. Save yourself the asinine $ 20 cover charge and go to a different bar to talk with normal women.

I wish I couldn’t pick a star. Total mob mentality. 800 bucks to come in and get a bottle. We said no. Waited 20 minutes watched 30 People walk out and we are a group of 8 and they still wouldn’t let us in. Place is a joke. Girls are ugly as fuck. I think I’d rather see my mother up there than the ugly gross loser girls up there. If you can get thru the loser bouncers who take their jobs way too seriously and think their mothers are proud them and get it inside good luck cuz the women are really just a bunch of gross girls who fell outta the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. Have fun

Awful. Awful. Awful. Extremely rude staff. I wish this would let me give NO STARS. The doormen were rude, pompous and arrogant. Absolutely no professionalism. Shame on them and it’s too bad for the girls/​guys that work there/​bartend there. The rude demeanor of the people representing what is essentially the customer/​clients first impression of the establishment is a poor one and causes a lot of people to want to take their business elsewhere. Hire new door men Centerfolds!

For some reason because I was in a major city, I expected a lot more out of Centerfolds. The girls were certainly a mixed bag in looks, talent and demeanor. It was rare to find a girl who seemed to actually enjoy her job and could dance well. The ways girls came onstage was a bit bizarre too. Each girl danced for three songs and there was no secondary stage. I’m not saying I have stripper ADD but I get bored of a girl easily if she doesn’t capture my interest. Okay so maybe I have stripper ADD but I like seeing the carousel of ladies that I might have the opportunity to have their breasts in my face. The one thing I loved about Centerfolds though was the security detail. As a female in a club, guys tend to assume that you work there and can get a bit grabby. The security staff made sure I was escorted to and from my seat to go to the ladies room or anywhere else in the club. I felt really safe there which was a nice change of pace. Overall, Centerfolds is by no means a bad club but it just didn’t have anything special about it that would make me want to go back.

There are only two strip clubs in the area and they both happen to be located next door to eachother. Both clubs have entirely different vibes and atmospheres. As a woman, I found that ALL the staff, from the minute I walked in the door, starting with the doormen/​bouncers, watiresses and dancers extremely friendly and accomodating. The people reviewing on here complaining only have an issue with this place becasue they are CHEAP. Drinks are always expected to be more expensive at a strip club and if you are bitching about that, do everyone a favour and don’t go out. Also if the bouncers, were «eyeballing» you and making you feel uncomfortable, it is again. BECASUE YOU ARE CHEAP. I noticed alot of guys oogling the dancers and not tipping. Rude! The crowd in here seemed to be alot of college/​frat boys and I did notice quite a few couples. The dancers were pretty but as other reviews stated, found their acts a little boring… and decided to check out next door.

Update and brief rant: Centerfolds continues to be an embarrassment! I came back here in hopes that this dump would be under new management, and hire new staff, but this place got worse.
Nothing has changed since my last review of Centerfolds. The staff remains rude, and unprofessional. As for the girls, I was there on a Saturday night. Strip clubs on weekends as far as I know are suppose to have their A+ line up, «Centerfails» clearly didn’t get that memo.
The staff continues to eyeball you if you don’t continuously tip and buy drinks, I felt like the new guy in prison; where you are waiting for someone to come up to you talking shit. This place really is of poor quality from top to bottom, compared to the strip clubs, I’ve been to. It’s a disgrace.

The stage show was putting me to sleep and absolutely NONE of the girls approached me for a lapdance which proves my point that Boston still endures racial segregation (because the only people enjoying themselves were white guys)

Sloppy place … Wouldn’t go back

What a great place. My wife & I attended a wedding in Boston 4^th of July weekend. Sat nite we went to Centerfolds. Being from rual Western Mass & not a city we feel a little outa place in Boston. Don’t get me wrong about how beautiful the girls are because i first want to commend the security staff. The girls are gorgeous!!! But the security is TOP NOTCH. We couldn’t have felt more safe in a strange city thanks to those guys. 5 stars for Centerfolds! Highly recomended.

I dont know what the other bad reviews were all about with this place. The only reason this didn’t get 5 stars is that it is a no touch bar. Girls were top notch and the atmosphere was good.
The bouncers do make sure you don’t do anything your not supposed to do but that is their job.

only been held up twice in the back lot so not bad. boston seems to be filled with chicks who think they are tens but are five max. this city is clearly for the brains and not the beauty. the strippers were pretty rough looking.

This was my first time ever at a strip club so I have nothing else to compare it to.
After hitting the town on a Saturday night with a male friend of mine, we both realize that we’ve never been to a strip club. «We have to do something about this… let’s go to Centerfolds!!»
We arrive after midnight to a bit of a line, wasn’t too bad. The bouncers were very professional and nice, checking our IDs while we wait. We walk in and immediately my friend «E» is asked to pay a $ 20 cover. Then they ask me! «$ 20 each??» I blurt out. I didn’t have the cash so E pays. That bugged me… before setting foot in the place, he’s is in it for $ 40.
The place is dark but nice… classy looking. We are ushered to an elevator and brought to the 2^nd floor. As soon as we walk in, Alex greets us and sits us at a table. He was really nice, courteous, and professional. After the initial wonderment fades between me and E, I ask Alex if we could move to the stage. 5 mins later, after asking people to move over a seat to make room, Alex takes us to the stage.
I have to say that every dancer was beautiful!!! I didn’t know what I was expecting, but everyone that came out was gorgeous. Unfortunately, most of them were like robots. Barely moved, barely made any sort of eye contact, just stared off in to space. We saw 5 – 6 girls and only two really stood out to me. I don’t know their names but my particular favorite had Marilyn Monroe’s signature tattooed on her. :). She was wearing a pink bikini, so I named her «Pink».
The drinks are ridiculously expensive!!! We ordered 2 Vodka and Redbulls and 1 Bud Light… bill came to $ 40+!!! I was floored, and again was irked that E had to drop another $ 40.
After the drinks, E insists on buying me a lap dance. He flags down Pink, but she’s got a few people ahead of us. He finally gets a girl and I’m off to get a private dance.
The girl was nice (I’m horrible with names). She could tell I was nervous and got so excited when I told her this was my first lap dance. She was pretty robotic in her moves, could tell she does this a hundred times a night, but all in all… it was alright. There are two chairs in the room and the other dancer in there was Pink (bonus)!! Haha. I think since it was the end of the night, I got jipped on the time. E was surprised to see how quickly I came back.
For my first experience, I was neither overly pleased nor disappointed. It was a fun time. I can see how men can spend tons of time and money in there (especially the guy falling asleep across the stage… hahaha). Definitely something to try out if you’re interested. Just be ready to drop at least $ 100 for a quick night.

There are two strip clubs in Boston and they are next door to each other.
CF’s has the better lighting, a much higher pole, and more skills. The girls are also more affable here. Sunday I was here and there were some very hot ladies, best skill award goes to Star.
I’ve been popping in randomly for the last 5 years and encourage this as a fun date spot, the drinks are overpriced but it is definitely a mood setter and a way to mix things up.
My rating is based on CF’s as a part of Boston nightlife — ranked next to clubs in any other city I don’t think I’d be a fan.

This is my first experience at a strip club in Boston and I’d have to say, it makes me not want to go to another one. It basically killed it for me. First off, the cover charge is $ 20. Second of all, unless you’re dishing out tons of cash to the strippers, you aren’t going to get anywhere near close to them. In fact, no matter how many 1’s you throw out, there doesn’t seem to be any interaction at all. They simply strut their stuff around the pole and the only time they move on stage is to pick up their money.
These girls do not dance, do not work the pole, and THEY DON’T EVEN STRIP! I think this defeats the purpose of a strip club…
I came with a stack of 1’s and didn’t even feel compelled to tip them any, because they didn’t seem to deserve it. They did not work for it at all. Shaking your ass and showing your boobs does not entitle you to free money, and it certainly is not entertaining to us as the audience.
I was hugely disappointed… Maybe I can find another place that’s better.

It’s a place with naked ladies. I like naked ladies, so I should like this place.
This is my story. This is my quick submission to namowrimo.
I got a call from a friend of mine, he had just been fired and was going to spend the rest of the day as a hot mess.
We meet at centerfolds.
First thing I notice is that the girl on stage has no boobs, but is wearing a wedding ring and has a nicotine patch right over her tramp stamp. She is just kind of walking around the stage and pausing to give us «sexy face»
I order a bud light and they bring me a bottle that cost 9 bucks. I know that this is a strip club, but nearly ten bucks for shit beer?
By the time the first girl finished her set, no one has thrown out a tip, so the bartender heads up stairs and dumps a bucket of dollar bills onto the stage. Only half the money lands on the stage with the bouncers collecting what ever they find on the floor shove into their pockets.
The next girl up might as well be 9 because she has no female features other then a lack of penis.
Only thing worse then the dancers and the drinks were other guest.
The entire time I was there another group of guys at the other end of the stage crumbling up dollar bills and throwing them directly at the dancers head, boobs, butt, or tunnel of love
And the girls kept putting up with it because those were the only guys tipping. Of course the bouncers pretended Not to notice.
Yes I know they’re strippers, but that’s beyond degrading.
