The Low Down While Club Risqué Philadelphia may be one of Philadelphia's top gentlemen's clubs (and the only Philadelphia-area gentlemen's club I've given 5 out of 5 stars to), Club Risqué Bristol has just as much to offer but with the vibe and ambiance of your neighborhood dive-bar: friendly staff, a comfortable atmosphere and some pool tables to relax and unwind at, albeit with some attractive female companionship. I arrived at 8:30pm on a quiet Thursday evening and was thrilled to once again review a gentlemen's club under the Club Risqué name. Location & Facilities - 4 Stars Club Risqué Bristol is conveniently located on Veterans Highway (Route 13) in Bristol, PA, minutes from I-95 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. There is plenty of off-street parking in their lot and smoking is permitted within the facility; you'll find a cigarette vending machine on premises as well. The main club floor has a large bar area with two poles within it, as well as a spiral staircase for the lovely Club Risqué ladies to make their grand entrance into the stage area. Around the bar you'll find six flat-screen televisions to catch your favorite sporting events as well as three coin-operated pool tables. Couch dances are available in a semi-private booth area on the first floor as well. Six champagne court rooms as well as a private, rentable party room (complete with small bar, pole and couches) are located on the second floor, providing a little more privacy for you or your group. Staff - 5 Stars While I didn't interact much with the staff during my visit (which is usually not a bad thing, especially when it comes to the tuxedo-clad bouncers!), I did find that the quality of service was on-par with some of the Philadelphia area's finest gentlemen's clubs. I had an enjoyable experience chatting with both Christine, the friendly bartender on duty that night, as well as Curt, the men's room attendant. Food & Drink - 4 Stars Club Risqué Bristol offers a full bar and has a limited food menu with appetizers such as wings (with a variety of sauces), onion rings, popcorn chicken and chicken fingers as well as sandwiches and salads. Dancers - 5 Stars Club Risqué Bristol's dancers are an eclectic mix of friendly ladies who have something to offer everyone. Don't be surprised to see some of the dancers socializing with the pool players, who I'm certain are regulars at the club. If you're sitting at the bar, be sure to tip your dancers at least a dollar when they come around after their stage time is done. Also, as with the other Club Risqué locations, the club hosts events such as adult entertainer appearances, amateur nights, golf outings and much more. One interesting feature about this club is that you can call their main telephone number for a list of the dancers on the schedule for that day... not always 100% accurate as dancers do call out, but certainly a valuable amenity for those who want to make sure to catch their favorite dancer on stage. Value - 5 Stars The prices at Club Risqué Bristol are amongst some of the lowest you'll find in the Philadelphia area, although the quality and service are the same as you'll find in the best gentlemen's clubs. Couch dances are $20.00 per song and you can take your favorite dancer upstairs to the champagne court for $200.00 per half hour, which includes a bottle of champagne or your choice of two drinks. Make sure to bring cash, as the club tacks on another 10% to use your credit card. Website & Social Media - 5 Stars The one benefit of the Club Risqué chain of gentlemen's clubs is that you can find information for all three locations at their main website, http://www.clubrisque.com. The website provides a list of upcoming events as well as party packages, directions and hours, and even a member's only photo area. Club Risqué can be found on Facebook and Twitter, and also has an app with club information. In Brief... Club Risqué Bristol has the feel of your neighborhood bar with the quality and service you'd find at Philadelphia's most upscale gentlemen's clubs. Whether you're a local looking for a night out or with a group of guys for a bachelor party, Club Risqué Bristol has something for everyone. read more

I came to this club around 1. not thinking it should make a difference. these are late night clubs right! virtually no girls. it was a waste of my time. I like this club but they need to deal with this is or I am not back. read more

local guy stopping in every now and then made the mistake of using my debit card on tab, next day fraudulent charges. bartenders and bouncers are all shady. offerEd cocaine by employees numerous of times. read more

I went to this club 10 dollar cover fee. Drinks were 10+ dollars. Some of the girls ignore you when you try to talk to them. Don't get me started on the bartender, there were two. One of them was a total bitch she was blonde white and old the other one had massive fake breasts but she was nice. The blonde woman ignored me when i tried ordering a drink even though she made eye contact. I went there willing to spend money but none of the girls came to me. I in particular liked two of them and when i asked for a dance they said they would come back but never did. The girls mostly talked with guys who didnt pay them a dime. Also The girls haggle you for tips and if you dont tip them you can forget about you them coming to you if you want a dance. I'm new to the area but girls dont walk around asking for tips where im from. Also they have to give lap dances once requested. Imagine walking into a grocery store and being denied purchase. I wouldn't go just for bad service and rude behavior. read more

It was a rainy afternoon and my date and I went to brunch and then went day drinking. We decided what the heck, let's go have some fun. There was zero energy in the club, I felt like I was in a VFW. 4-5 sad looking guys and my date and I. There were 2 dancers and I almost felt bad making them be there for what surely was not a lucrative day. One of the girls seemed to not know you can't just cup your boobs and expect me to give you more than a dollar. We always make our own fun but it was pretty lifeless. We need to go on a Saturday I guess. read more

Hands down THE WORST experience at an adult club ever. There were not enough dancers for customers. What dancers there were we're bored and not interested in mingling with customers that weren't *aparently* high rolling regulars. What's worse is they had a bathroom guy. Three dollars to use the restroom. Almost more than I spent on dancers. Terrible experience. I Expect more from a supposedly higher end club. read more

I really liked the atmosphere of this place. It was dim, plenty of room around the bar, pool tables & just had an all around nice feel to it. The girls were beautiful, however a lot of them didn't do pole tricks & didn't really put on a show (which is what you come for). read more

Club Risque is a wonderful club located on Veterans Highway (RT 413). I was very excited to do this review because I have been a regular there since missing classes in college many years ago. There is a stigma about going to a Gentleman's club during the day. But I have to disagree because going during the day is your only chance to try out Risque's free lunch buffet. First thing you will notice about Risque other then the stucco facade is the nice overhangs, which at night put on a light show outside of the club. When you enter you will be met with the smell of tuna fish and women...Delicious. Then you will see the huge bar that takes up a large amount of space inside the club. The remaining area is covered by mirrors and pool tables. The buffet is laid out nicely on the left hand side when you enter. Sneeze guards cover the delectable treats from diseases and gives you a confidence that you are about to have something special. I recommend the chicken Parmesan sandwich. A wonderfully cooked chicken pattie smothered with marinara and mozzarella cheese. The roll is very rustic and doesn't get sloppy with the healthy amount of sauce. Final Verdict 5 out of 5. Also don't shy away from the cold cuts or the homemade pasta, chicken and my favorite tuna salad. You will be as pleasantly surprised as I was. read more

Girls cheating most of the girls is not so friendly so think before going there and most of man is fighting with customers

Wanted a night out. My girl suggested watching some talent. Arrived and was met by some not so friendly door staff.more worried about getting the cover charge $20 then being friendly . Had a seat at the bar and waited for a drink and waited for a drink and waited from a drink. Zero girls dancing most on their phone or in the kitchen eating pizza. This place is more of a hang out then a gentleman's club maybe it was just a bad night but for a Saturday it should be hopping . read more

Had 20 dollars stolen from me. Manager told me it was my fault. Trash. Don't go here. Unless you're trying to get robbed.

- lets just be honest here shall. we. some people's experiences will vary depending on your " personal " taste in women. however the facts are the facts. this is ADULT ENTERTAINMENT. and like any patron i expect to be entertained not Disgusted or evern worse BORED to the point i won't to smash a hammer to my head. Club Risque is well known for hiring really attractive talent. they alway have a very 7 - 9 talent pool of girls ( ONLY with Looks ) not with entertainment. now with that being said. if your from the philadelphia area you know whats what,and whos who and what are located in your surrounding areas. I unfortunately am not from this area nor from this state. ( NYC Area ). but ive heard some great things here & there. as far as the ladies go. well i say again Looks wise. yes expect a usual 7 outta 9. thats being fairly decent im saying. but if your looking for Model types Go to South Philadelphia on Colombus Blvd its worth the drive and the experience. also if you don't like Club Risque'. then there's a myriad of other Competitors that'll fit your palette of tastes on S.Colombus Blvd in South Philly. - as for personal experiences. well every time i've visisted the Bristol Location Club Risque'. i'm sorry but the ladies wouldn't even get a $1dollar bill from me; heck even the girls at the Tacony Location are MORE worth my time. Way Better Looking Bodies Too. - just as a rule of thumb. why would you hire " Fat / Chubby " girls to work at a Strip Club. its called Adult Entertainment for a reason. there's nothing wrong with some Curves. like ACTUAL Curves as in Curvature. but Fat is Just Fat. Fat F**king Slobs; So Sorry No Thanks. FYI: Management please do better. Also i only gave this 2 Stars because its still under the Club Risque Network. and just cause 1 location sucks ass doesn't mean the other two locations will also. read more

I walked in without a valid Drivers License and a paper saying that my license was in the process of being finished. The Bald security guy wouldn't let me in after security let me in the week prior under the same circumstances. I guess rules don't apply here? Anyway, the asshole at the front said "I don't give a fuck if you have a paper get out." I was extremely kind to the guy and he continued to raise his voice at both myself and my girlfriend, almost as if he was waiting all night for something exciting to happen. No wonder you guys have such a shit rating. They claim to be the "premier gentlemen's club" but wouldn't know a gentleman if he was staring them right in the face. What a fucking disgrace. On top of this Bristol is a dump. Don't waste your time. Funny that I'm seeing a complaint about the same bald security guy. read more

If you live around Trenton area, this is probably the best club around. They do have a cover. Unlike you cheap fucks I'm not going to bitch about it. It's a business fuckers. How else are they going to pay for overhead. Before 7 it's free. After 7 I believe it's 10$. Some night cans be 20 if a fight is on or a porn star is performing. When you walk in you will have to go through a metal detector and probably pat down. The bouncers are very cool. The front guy I think his name is mike or Chris, looks like the bad guy from John wick is very cool. So leave your drugs and weapons at home. Bathroom has an attendant. His name is nas so you should tip him just based on that. The club is nice. They have 3 pool tables. There are 2 stages, the bar is wrapped around the stage. If you sit at the bar , you will have to and should order a drink. Bree and Ashley are the best bartenders. Drinks are average priced. They serve food which is good so definitely try it. It's cheap. Once a girl gets done dancing she will walk around the bar. You should tip her minimum a dollar. If you like her sky's the limit. So technically it does cost money to sit there, your looking at about 8 or 10 an hour. the girls are attractive. There will probably be 7 or 8 hot girls there on any given night. They have a wide variety and mixed ethnicity. No fat girls. Thank god. Dances are 20 dollars. Champagne court is 200 for 30 minutes. The girl only gets 125 so you should tip them. There is also a guy at front desk, you should tip him 20. I think that's the most bang for your buck. No pun intended. The girls here do not do extras. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. It's a good spot to go to. I've been to all the local clubs and this one hands down has the hottest girls. Your welcome for the review. Remember don't ever go out anywhere if your not willing to tip. Your kind makes me sick. read more

The Basics: Sunday-Thursday no admission fee. Friday and Saturday $5 after 8. Lap dances cost you the usual $20. In the Club Risque rankings I would put this just slightly above the Northeast location and a good bit below the Delaware Ave Risque. The large rectangular bar surrounds two stages. A spiral staircase leads down from the second floor to the stage, which creates a problem in the form of an obstructed view. But snag a seat along one of the long sides and you're fine. A few tables along the back wall, three pool tables (though I don't see how you could play if it was busy, there just isn't enough space between the bar and the tables), and a long row of couches behind a beaded curtain for lap dances. read more

Decided to check this place out on my way to philly, and it was not worth the time for me. The place looks decent pool tables lots of space, but the I hate the setup they have with the stage behind the bar the performances weren't that great. Then you have some girls that don't dance but walk up to you and ask for a tip which gets annoying. There are some pretty girls in here but after 30 mins I was bored, they also do not have a atm at the club which make no sense to me they only do cash advance. I walked out after that will not be going back I think I will try the one in philly and see if it's the same deal. But I say it's a good spot to have some drinks with friends and food but that's it. read more

Don't go on Monday or Sunday. The daytime bartender never comes around and appears drunk. There's a blonde on Sunday Katie shes good and gets naughty for a few dances. Got me off wonderfully. The other blonde tried to offer me a champagne for the same services but I was turned off by her teeth. Can't really gives more than one star because the girls are pretty dramatic and only want to get you to buy them drinks or sell something. I don't recommend going in there unless you want a quick fix n to get off. I will not be going back. Made me extremely uncomfortable with a few of the girls. read more

Girlfriend took myself and a good guy friend here for my birthday. The staff was very professional and friendly, especially for someone like myself who doesn't frequent strip clubs very often The place was smaller than expected the dancers dance behind the bar which I thought was kinda odd...How am I supposed to tip a stripper when she is dancing if I have a bartender and a bar in front of me? The place also had NO ATM. You had to ask for a cash advance at the bar which included a surcharge. The hell is that all about? The dancers were nice for the most part. My GF and I got a couples dance from this blonde who was hot and she was good. My buddy got a couple private dances from "Sage" who was terrific and chatted all of us up with a smile and cigarette. The drinks were pricey but to be expected. I would go back but not to this location. Maybe to the one IN Philly or in the Northeast. read more

I've never been there before but decided what the hell my Friend ALLISON was Bartending. Drinks are about what you would expect for a strip club and standard bar food. The place has 3 pool tables that cost $1.50 to play. It feels more like your neighborhood dive bar so it's a place you can sit and chill and watch boobs. Just like the Risqué on Columbus BLVD girls dance on the stage inside the bar then get tips from everyone at the bar. Pretty fun time read more

We met up with 2 other couples here for a fun night out...BIG MISTAKE!!!! It starts with a $10 per person cover charge to walk into a half full bar. We then waited over 20 minutes and could not get either bartender to take our drink order. My husband finally went to the front door people and asked how to get service and we got service from a rude bartender. In the meantime, the girls circulated and actually would come up and tap us on the shoulder to put money in their boobs. I never mind this and ALWAYS tip , but at least perform first or be nice! One girl actually told the gentleman next to me "can you believe those ***holes, 6 of them and only one dollar!" All of this and the dancers were not anything to watch. We will be on the hunt once again for a fun strip club that appreciates customers. read more

Had great time last Friday with my boys for $2 beer at their happy hour. The girls are hot and they have cigars. Stayed to 2am.

Hit or miss place. better and classier options in Philly. Some hot woman some average at best. Depends on when you go. Bartenders are also hit or miss. Have waited many times too long between drinks because the bartenders seem to favor the regulars or certain customers. Most of the strippers are friendly but I find to be way too pushy for my liking. A few times I have went in this place and I wasn't in there 5-10 minutes, I had 2-3 woman come up to me bugging me for a tip. I get it, they are trying to make money and a living , but man it can get annoying and to be honest pricey fast when you are tipping every girl even the ones you don't find that hot. (its funny when you see a lot of guys fake a trip to the bathroom when a girl that is so so coming around for a tip) Private dance pestering gets old fast too. It's hard just to go in this place have a beer watch a couple of girls and split without being bombarded with tips and private dance requesting. Need to offer a little more food options as well. But all in all, this place is what it is, a divey local strip bar that does its job for the guys looking for quick but sometimes pricey thrill. read more

Go often in afternoon. Girls are from 7 to 9's. Great personalities. Haven't met a "Pushy" one. They actually give you enough space to chill if that's what you want. Private lap dances are worth the $ & time. Weekday lunches used to be much better, but passable. Downside, is they don't schedule or girls don't show on some days. 1 or 2 songs can be played between dancers. read more

My husband and I decided to try Risque in Bristol because a famous adult film star was performing. When we walked in with the $30 cover for the both of us, all it was, was a square bar with two small stages and a spiral staircase in the middle, surrounded by mirrors which made it look larger than it really was, and it was very smokey. Note that there is only seating at the bar, so if you don't get a seat, you have to stand. That night I was the only...and I mean ONLY woman in there with a guy. The women did not look thrilled at all, and were more interested in going to the locals; hey why not, that's how they make their bank. A few of the girls were friendly, and I approached some for a couples lap dance, but got the same "I'll be back in a few", and never saw them again. The girls were decent looking I have to say tho, but not very friendly. They had a contest to win a free porn DVD, which I won one, so that was cool, and Rachel Star gave ME a nice motorboat, but she moved thru the crowd quite quickly. So I would say next time, we're going to check out the Philly location, it may be a bit larger, and maybe go on couple's night where the girls appease more to couples vs. a regular night. But this place did remind me more of a sports bar with poles. I've been to other gentleman's clubs where the girls bond more with the girls. So this is from a woman's standpoint. read more
