Golden Banana

Went here last night 02−20−15 and it wasn’t to bad the drinks kept coming ladies was pretty good. 1 girl in particular that me and my friends enjoyed and that was Kayla (she’s the only black girl they had but she’s freaking HOT) The music could be a little better but for the most part it was an amazing night. So amazing we are going tonight again since Kayla said she only works Fridays and Saturdays don’t miss out

just got back from the golden banana with some friends. exorbitant cover charge, laughable dance prices (30 bucks for one dance lasting 2 or 3 minutes, and NO contact. guido the greasy bouncer will be staring you down the entire time.) bathrooms where the damn toilets won’t even flush and the doors don’t even close. rude entitled waitstaff. the dancers are ok, but not a lot of selection. only skinny white girls who are very aggressive. you can tell they are really scalping the girls there. and horrible top 40s music blasting away so you can’t even carry on a conversation.
the only reason i’m giving it 2 stars is because one girl put on a good stage show. bottom line, save your money and go somewhere else.

Yikes. Ok. It was a Monday night. But I was encouraged by the fact they had a $ 10 cover – must mean there’s something going on inside right? NOPE! Musta been fat girl night. That’s all there was with the exception of one beautiful Asian (in shape) lady that came out toward the end (must’ve been booked solid with lap dances since she was the only one worth the money). Now, the bartender and waitress were GORGEOUS. And although I can’t speak on the waitress as I sat at the bar, the barmaid did not know a thing about bar service. I drank my first beer in 10 minutes and after 90 — NINETY — minutes!!! She hadn’t asked how I was or if I needed anything. I has ONE BEER in. 90 minutes! I so wanted to ask for my tip back. So. Warning: tip after service, since it doesn’t insure crap. If you’re in peabody, go to Cabaret. At least you’re guaranteed good talent and a smile. Oh – and they actually enjoy serving drinks!

Best strip club ever! Filled with super hot girls both on stage & off! Gotta love girls who love girls, only if they’re hot of course! Cover & drinks are pretty cheap for a strip club too! Win win! Why go anywhere else? This has become the place to be!

Five stars for a Massachusetts establishment. Well done since the grand re-​opening!

i go when i can, usually with friends and cousins. drinks are high for the area but its a club. alot goes on in side from shot girls, to massage girls, table dances, privet dances.
the bar is fully stocked beer and mixed drinks
the DJ’s are usually good, you can request songs most of the time
First weds of the month they have amature night which they say starts at 8 but more like 9– 9:30 depending on how many girls show
i recommend it beats all of the other joints around the area hands down

Where did Chantelle go!!! Does she usually work at Tens? Haven’t seen her lately! She is gorgeous!

Classier than the cab across the street. Not bad looking inside. The DJ will take song requests.
But the dancers were boring. Nothing

showmanship.Too many bad boob jobs. They just seemed unenthusiastic. I haven’t been there in a year… maybe there is more interesting dancers now.

Despite the name, this is heterosexual entertainment heaven! Golden Banana does sound like the name of a Chippendale’s club, but it is far from that. It’s all about the tig bitties and ate grasses in here! The strippers are insanely hot, experienced dancers, and definitely know how to make a pole sizzle. Did I mention that the strippers are insanely hot? Drinks are moderately priced for a strip club, so that is a plus. It’s a fairly classy establishment, so you won’t feel like a total skeezeball for wanting to go here. I do have one complaint, however: the night I went, the music was absolutely horrible. Is James Brown’s «Living in America» anyone’s idea of a great strip song? Or Marilyn Manson? Are you serious? If only the music choices were better. This is the quintessential strip club to go to in the Boston area– beats the Cabaret, Squire, or Mac 2’s by a longshot.
Come to think of it, I do have one more grievance I’d like to address: the no touch rule: (

Oh my. I can’t really believe I’m writing a review of a strip club, but here I am.
Every friend I’ve told about my visit to the Golden Banana was surprised that it employed scantily clad women and not men. And they make a good point. I mean, «golden banana» implies a certain part of the male anatomy that women don’t usually have. Who knows.
As strip clubs go, though, this one was on the classier end. It’s a little dark, sure, but the dancers are mostly attractive and the security is discreet. We didn’t eat here (there are plenty of restaurants along Route 1), but the beers were expensive, though the selection was pretty big.
Unsurprisingly, I got a few stares from other patrons, most directed slightly lower than my face, but the dancers were friendly.
Oh, and who knew MA allows full nudity?

This place is awesome. The skeeviest girl I’ve ever seen dancing here is only half to about five eighths as skeevy as the skeeves at the other strip clubs in the area. The cover is a little expensive but the guys at the door are good for a joke, and a little advice. My girlfriend was calling me and I said something like «She’s going to be calling me all night» and the guy snaps back with «If you pull your battery out, the message is the same as when your phone dies». I was impressed. They also let my cousin in for free when he showed his military I.D. 5 stars for supporting the troops. I can usually get a few laughs out of my battle-​hardened cousin, although it isn’t easy. When I made it rain $ 11 on the last dancer of the night he was cracking up, so my mission was accomplished. Great family fun at the Golden Banana. 5 stars

Hmmm, so its been a while seen I have been here, but the second time back was not that bad.
Heres the picture: One of my dad’s good friends from Central America came to visit. Now, in most families that means lounging around the porch and reflecting on old times while knocking back a few. In my family, it calls for getting completely drunk and dragging the only sober guy in the bunch to the strip club so he can drive. Needless to say I was the sober guy.
It all started when we went to Bertucci’s in Rt. 1. Since we were 5 Latinos going to an Italian restaurant, naturally they sat us all in the back corner of the restaurant. Dad and friend polish off 2 bottles of wine. After 2 hours of lively conversation, Dad throws me the keys to his truck and says «You’re driving» Normally, this would result in squeals of glee from my part (because his truck is SWEET), but unless you have driven 4 drunk old-​world latinos around in the cramped cab of a pick up truck, you would not understand my horror.
After we bought lottery tickets, my dad says these fateful words
«Fuck it. We are men. Lets go to a strip club»
The only options were the Squire and the GB. They left the decision to me, and knowing that it would have taken a half-​hour for these drunks to get past the metal detector («Whaaaa? Belt buckles are metal? Defug you talkin bout?»), I decided on this place.
F. We chilled there for about a hour and a half, before the rest of the group started to get lap dances. I noticed that my dad was talking to one of the strippers and started motioning towards me. Thats where i draw the line. The same man who taught me how to ride a bike, change the oil in a car, save money, drive a car etc, is NOT going to buy me a lap dance. Its too weird. Unless you have been there, you wouldnt understand.
As a result, I left and slept in the truck for an hour before they exited the club. The reason I am telling you this whole story is because it may serve to throw off my rating, due the fact that I was scared shitless throughout the entire night.
In terms of the actual rating, the quality of the girls skyrocketed from the last time I was here. I almost drooled on a stripper that looked exactly like Rihanna, sans abuse (too soon?). The waitresses were nice and for some reason I just got better vibes from the place than the last time I was here. Its that intangible characteristic, that X factor, that can determine whether or not you like a certain locale. Maybe its the decoration, or the people, but for some reason I actually had fun. Go figure
I am still not coming back though.

Never been a fan of strip clubs (I prefer getting the real thing) so maybe I’m a bit biased.
I think I could do without the $ 8 beers and the below average women. There is probably only one or two decent looking dancers here.
The club itself is dark as hell, however, it’s very clean and somewhat «classy». The bathrooms are nice for a strip club.
I’ve gone a couple times, probably won’t be back. But if you enjoy throwing around dollar bills for boobs, this is the place to go!

What happened to this place?! Are they trying to make it respectable? («respectable» for strip clubs is a completely relative term) Where did the cages go? Where are the old, drunk guys mumbling unintelligably stage side? I’m guessing across the street at The Cabaret. Why is there a bathroom attendant eagerly standing behind me with the hand sanitizer? and if they have to have a bathroom attendant why does it have to be an old guy… or a guy period? (Maybe he was promoted from stage side?) And why are half of the patrons women? My wife told me that it’s trendy now for women to go to strip clubs like it was trendy 10 – 12 years ago for women to smoke cigars. Why do trends suck so much? It’s really hard to make Lenny and Squiggy faces at the strippers with a table full of women sitting right next to you. They’re trying to take all the sleaze out of the place. I’d only give it 2 stars but I’m giving it 3.
‘Cause of the nude ladies.

between The Banana and The Cabaret across the highway The Banana was always known as the better, cleaner strip club. The Banana was the first in this area to put strippers in cages, a good thing?
anyWho, now the tables are reversed. went a few days after the re-​open and Holy Crap this place is wicked dark inside. plus the strippers were only slightly better than skank-​arific.
i’ll check it out again as soon as i get some more vaccinations.

I’ve been to the Golden Banana a few times since the re-​opening. I think they do a fantastic job of catering to all clientele. I typically go with my girlfriends and somehow I am able to hang out with my friends in comfy chairs, watch sports on the big screens at the bar, drink some great libations and not notice the totally nude women dancing on the stage. The women are beautiful, including the bartenders. I like the atmosphere, very classy. However, I could have done without the jello shot girl showing me her milkwagons. It was a cute little dance but I’m really just interested in the alcohol, thank you very much. I’m pretty certain that these women aren’t really into the dance. I imagine that they are just going through their grocery list in their heads. I think it goes something like this:
Dancer: (while rubbing breasts)“I need milk, eggs, detergent.“
Anywho, I always have a fun time when I go to The Banana. The owners are great guys and understand what the customer wants. whether they are male or female.

This is the legendary strip club on route one that was shut down years ago but is now, like John Kerry said:
REPORTING FOR DUTY!!!
I mean it’s opened again.
The outside is lit up and has the sign with the banana and lots of cars in the lot.
and THAT’S IT.
I can’t go in there. The next bachelor party is for Bulldog and it’s at Mohegan’s. My wife would kill me if I went for (just the heck of it)
and to be honest I’d rather be giving my wife a lap dance.
(she said no)
oh well. someone else review it and
I will read it.
UPDATE:
the gas station in front is 2.98/ gallon. I saw when I drove by. That’s not bad. (wow i wish, it’s now $ 3.98)
