BarFly's Review of Nicolai St Clubhouse

Most of the stevedore/RR workers in the crowd completely ignore the dancers, which is probably just as well. Friendly, though.
Small stage, pool x2.
Daily drink specials around $2.75.
Dark Sundays.

Sorry, won't be back...

Was able to visit this one while out driving around and I'm afraid I won't be back. The girls worked hard and we tipped and bought drinks, but the setup is not very friendly since all seats either are at the counter or facing away from the stage. They used to advertise topless waitresses in the magazine, but we were just fine with that not being the case (nothing personal, you were a great waitress, just a bit old to be letting the twins out unannounced). Go to Casa Diablo to see this gimmick in use to good effect.

To give her credit one stripper really made an effort and lit a match and rested it on her nipple while it burned down. It wasn't really sexy or mysterious or cool, but it certainly showed effort.

Take it from a retired stripperwho's worked in this stinky little dive... Food's usually quite good. Pool table area's the place to be... Stage is way too small, jukebox concept is ridiculous, but actually has the occasional decent song. Strppers "dressing room" is in the uber-small ladies room where the general public, including spiteful, fat uglies can raid your stuff... Not the cultural hotspot of the universe... Blonde female bartender's a bitch, unless she knows you... Glad I quit! Oh! If you see "Rufus", tell him Sue still thinks he's an ass!

Friendly dancers, great food- the cook was good for a joke or two, and really went out of his way to spruce up the bar food. Very low key, blue collar place. Check it out, and tip the dancers, and your server.

A little on the dark side and allows smoking. Smoke levels were tolerable. The bar was roomy and seemed to be supplying a fair number of takeout orders. I did not see the menu. The bartender was friendly and working her tail off. Strippers were doing the three song BS. Overall, worth another look.

At night, this area is very deserted. club circut strippers change shifts at 10. Good place to catch up on sportscenter and have some poon give you the old "touch your toes" bit. Other than that, very low key. Proabably better right after work if you are in the area. It's got some regulars and a kitchen. When you are in lonely town, go lonely. Hell, I may go there now.

Good beer and broads

Great little cozy bar. Cold pabst, friendly bartenders and dancers. Dancers so friendly that I ended up marrying one of them. Good times with friends. Great beer swank decor. Lots of late nights boozed up playing pool.

I like Nicolai. It's in the industrial district and is a blue collar bar I thought.There is no pole, it's a small stage with a counter and the dancers have always been really good every time I've been there.
