Hmm, where to start... I came here about a week or so ago and only now I'm writing a review as I found time to do so.
We were actually going to rockza but seen the sign for ballarrinas and decided to go there instead. I learned its Rockza's sister club.
Ballarrinas - I like the establishment. It's clean and there's lots of variety on dancers. The space is sort of small, but it is what it is.
There's a door fee and also if the price is right (you pay the bouncers a certain fee depending on who it is I'm guessing) you're allowed to drink in the club. I witnessed it with my own eyes. This is a non-alcohol strip club, but like I said..if the price is right, you're allowed to drink. Moving along,
I was sort of confused on who the owner was. I didn't realize that following social media would have led me to knowing beforehand who she was, but okay. I heard someone constantly calling a person named dimes and I yelled "who is that??" I'm talking to my friends now...however, I got the rudest response from someone who heard me (idk who it was because there was a few people around me). The person (it was a girls voice) yelled back "how you going come up in here and not know who dimes is?" I was sort of taken back by that. I asked one of my friends that I was with, if they knew who dimes was and they pointed her out to me. I was like oh cool. I honestly didn't realize she was the owner because she didn't hold herself to the standards that most people would expect. So excuse me if I hadn't known.. And I was told that it was one of the dancers that made the rude remark to me because I came with a bunch of guys and the only girls closest to me were the strippers.
Continuing on with my night though...
We dropped a good amount of bands on the girls since we were celebrating my guy friends new promotion at work. They had roll call. Nice. If I'm not mistaken the boss keeps all the money for roll call though? One of the girls told me and I felt a little bad about it.
The dimes girl got on stage a few times. I was expecting a badass show, but got a pretty basic performance. It wasn't really worth dropping bands for.
If you're going to be a stripper, you have to do more than just show your tits or shake your ass and hang upside down on a pole. Anybody can do that IMO.
The club itself is pretty dope, but it's still a fresh club so it's going to be better than the others....for now.
One thing that really threw me off and Idk if it's just me or what, but the owner seemed to be on drugs or somethin because she was acting really loopy. I don't know how to explain it but she seemed like, high. It definitely was a strange experience for me and my friends. Maybe it's the fact the owner dances too that throws me off and the fact that there's nobody really in charge. She honestly just seems like a stripper and that's it.
Oh and I wasn't the only one who didn't know she was the owner because I heard another guy say, I need to speak to someone in charge and he looked all over for someone and she was literally sitting on the counter practically in front of him. He looked right passed her. I felt less bad about myself for not knowing either when I realized I wasn't the only one.
Serious question though, is there someone else in charge or is she really the only owner? Because I feel like the dancers need a real boss and not another "co worker on a power trip." I also feel like it would benefit the customers as well, because then we wouldn't have to guess who to speak to.
Literally nobody there looked like the owner or manager material and that's not okay. In most clubs I've been to, off the bat you already know who the manager or owner is because they are dressed and act the part. It looks orderly and not like one giant party.
The 1 star is for the weird management style of the club and the illegal activity that goes on (I.e paying a fee to allow alcohol within establishment), also for the rude comment the person made toward me.
The dancers that we dropped bands on, they're definitely worth more than 5 stars hence why I didn't rate it 5 stars because they're completely a separate list all on their own. My friends and I enjoy going to strip clubs on special occasions and we LOVE to drop at least $500-$1000 per person. I normally drop the most out of the guys.
What can I say? I admire girls who actually put in work to earn the money.
We dropped a good amount of dough considering the amount of time we were there. My friends sort of held back though and i wasn't sure why, so after everything was said and done and we were heading back home --- they mentioned to me that they wanted to be in a more mature atmosphere. The few dancers we encountered were top knotch but the place itself seemed more for "'kids" as they put it.
With that being said, I most likely won't be back. It was a different experience, but a weird type of different. The club could use some adjustments and I'd definitely come back to check it out. read more
