Planning a close friends bachelor party for the 2nd weekend in Nov. We already have a football game, hockey game, restaurants and bars all planned out. But don't even know where to begin for the official stag night.

Can anyone recommend a venue ? I hear the gentlemans clubs in chicago are nothing too great. Want to send our boy off with a night to remember.

I can't really tell what you're asking, and my guess is that others can't, either, which is why you've had no response. What type of "venue" are you seeking exactly? You already have restaurants and bars lined up, you said, so I'm not sure what else you want.

You heard correctly that the strip clubs in Chicago are not so great (expensive, no touching, etc). You generally want to go into the burbs for those. I've never been a fan of doing that for bachelor parties (well, not since my early 20's anyway). I would stay in the city if I were you, unless you just really, really want to do strip clubs.

The Admiral isn't that bad.

It used to be much better when they had 50% off tickets, apparently some draconian idiot squashed that kind of fun. And honestly doing that only hurts the girls. I'd guess that most people would show up more often if they had to pay 12.50 instead of 25. I know when my pal who loves to go there when he's trashed, gets the stark reminder that it's 50 instead of 25 for the both of us, says nevermind, I forgot about that... Then it's off to a 4am. *which is usually more fun anyways*

It's amazing how $25 dollars is still too much money when not horribly sober.

They also demand you pay for a (single) obnoxiously overpriced water or red-bull, and alcohol is not present, due to full bottom nudity. Though the rationale for that law evades me immensely. Probably though its on the books from paranoid regular bar owners afraid that if a strip-club sold alcohol, why would they go to the regular bar...

That said, I've only been there after hearing how many other places were criminal rip-offs in the city proper.

The Admiral is NOT a rural strip club, where you can get, well, whatever you want, or mostly. If you talk to the girls first though, and ask them what is involved, you can get a good lap-dance. Not as good as say, not being ripped off in Vegas, but a pretty amusing time. You just have to ask what is allowed. If you don't ask what is allowed, and they evade your questions, you will have a horrible lap-dance. Some won't even come near your lap, if you can believe that.

The whole reason to go to the Admiral, is to go pee. They have this breathtaking mural of women, lit from behind, above the urinals, and all the women are looking down while you pee, with hysterical expressions and magnifying glasses regarding how small your johnson is. I *do* love that mural, if that is what you would call that...

If the guy is getting married, they probably do something special there to celebrate the fact that he's been suckered by a woman to enter into the most non-advantageous contract that a man can be a part of. I'm sure they do something not as obnoxious as what I've seen outside of strip-clubs in *normal* marriages.

If you have further questions feel free to PM me.

If you can somehow get out to Harvey or NW Indiana, I would suggest that. Strip clubs within Chicago proper aren't even worth your time. I've heard Pink Monkey isn't too bad but it isn't full nudity, it is BYOB and they charge heavily for mixers.

I find it odd that you say this, and then go on to describe a place with a $25 cover and no alcohol where all you can get is a lap dance where some of them don't even go near your lap. That sounds pretty bad to me.

Yeah I don't know what the hell you are asking us.

Maybe he's saying the girls are hot? Don't know. Never been tempted to go in there.

OP, The Chicago men here do not even understand your question, because they are much too refined for this topic...

Sounds like you need to go to Indiana or Wisconsin (or O'hare area) to get the kind of venue you seek - none of those shenanigans in Chicago proper. Or maybe stick with the cheap hotel room venue and rent the talent... LOL
