Girls were nice, but pushy for dances. Lapdances are $20 per song, but in public. Asking for a private room/dance and suddenly toy are ushered into a room with the manager explaining ro toy it will be... And gold on to your hats now.. $900 for 50 minutes. HAH!! 4-500 could have hooked me but $900 c'mon.. it's a room with a table and chair. Nah that's just greedy and a turn off. I was looking for private lapdances for $1-200 like in Europe, but things works different here. read more

Serena gave me the best massage ever. She was amazing joyful and I loved chatting with her

It's not a strip club. They don't strip. It's not a go go bar. There is no enthusiasm, no energy, this place is dead. If you want to pay $20 entry to pay for $12 beers this is your place. This place is a scam, rip off in the worst sense of the word. Go to the outer boroughs where people actually like what they do. There are people who enjoy and are actually good at stripping. It used to be an art form, a show a performance. This ain't it. This place is downright sad. Even as far as strip clubs go. $20 Entry Fee $12 Beer $3 Coat Check. Taking a $35 shit. Priceless. There are some things money can't buy. For everything else there is Mastercard. You can read the body language of everyone in the room. No one wants to be here. Embarrassing. Please close down. read more

This place is a straight scam charged my card 300$ wen i only got 2 drinks smh got it disputed worst

This place is predatory!!!!! They purposely separated my spouse and I, got me alone and gave me a lap dance I didn't ask for. In fact, I said no thank you and it still kept happening! Then they wanted to charge me almost $400 bucks. When I tried to dispute it they were in an uproar. I finally told the girl-"if I wanted a dance it would not be from you. You're not even my type." I had semi-agreed to a dance from a different girl earlier and I paid my $20 in cash...why would I not pay for something if I rightfully asked for it? I did not ask for it, it was AGAINST MY CONSENT. I am shaking just reliving it In my head. PREDATORS!!!! Totally disrespectful and grimy. Then the slimy old dude came and sat me down outside where my spouse somehow was and they acted like they were doing me a favor by bringing me my card and making me sign the bill. I was totally taken advantage of and shame on them because based on other reviews this is their business practice. It seems they make a habit of separating couples and preying on them. I don't even want to be in my own body that's how yucky I feel for what they did to me/us. I will be sharing this horrible experience across every platform I can because it's just wrong and anyone thinking about going there needs to be warned. Edit: My spouse and I spoke about at length today because we are just really disturbed and needed to process what had been done to us and he told me that while I was disputing the almost $400 charge they threatened to break his legs if we wouldn't pay and "that's how places of business like this work." No they do not- I've been to clubs in TX, VA, and NY across the span of 20 years whenever I get the random itch to go (about every 3-4 years). I have NEVER been treated with such disrespect and made to feel taken advantage of. Never have threats been made about serious bodily harm. Never have I been toyed with and made to feel like I'M the problem at any other establishment. read more

If you like skinny boring girls come here. The guy upfront is rude asf and I paid $20 for one drink. Dont recommend

Don't be deceived this place its tiny as hell. Had two dances and a mannequin could do a better job. Hated it here would not recommend.

Always a good time at this downtown institution. Friendly staff and good vibes. Food is good as well.

Horrible you hear me. Don't go there They said they can waive the 31$ entry fee if we buy a bottle, the bottle was 1000$ who's spending that? Especially in that place. Yo the girls were not appealing at all, the place feels more like an escorting business. There was a freaking couple that was playing with each other behind us which was disturbing. Yo never the HELL again never don't come here the atmosphere feels like desperation, nasty old men praying on young women read more

It started as a joke. My boyfriend's friend came up from the south and we were sitting at a dive bar that was particularly low key and we wanted to spice up the evening. I said, "Let's go to a strip club!" and my bf's friend said "You are the coolest girlfriend EVER!" I've been to 2 strip clubs before (once for my friend's job... he had to produce a radio ad... and once when my cousin tricked me into it) Neither of them were clean in the slightest and neither were in NYC. Every stripper I had seen before DOLLS was completely unappealing physically but very kind when off the stage. So my expectations were low ... but wholly crap! NY DOLLS is like the Disney World of strip clubs. "Mommy Mommy, I wanna go back!" There were like 25 girls walking around (and that's just the section we were in - I think there are other floors) and every one of them was spanking gorgeous. I paid for lap dances for my bf and his friend. The girl who gave my boyfriend a lap dance goes by "Eve". I had spotted her walking around and because she's the most beautiful, I asked a manager how to go about requesting someone in particular and after a description he called her on the radio. I didn't watch the lap dances because I wouldn't have been able to refrain from laughing but the girls I saw on stage were like erotic acrobats who somehow managed to keep it classy. I don't know how I didn't walk out of that club a bi-sexual. I recommend NY DOLLS for anyone looking for a fun time - people who can appreciate the beauty of girls who have the gall to get in those sexy little pieces for you. But for all you skeezes & perves who get a thrill off degrading women, get a magazine. read more

This is one of the skeeviest strip clubs in New York. I don't think the couches are actually patched with duct tape, but it feels like the type of place where they would be. The best part is that it's skeezy trying to pass as "classy", and that equals "hilariously awesome". If you like seeing boobs under a blacklight shaking to Guns N Roses, while you sip corny mixed drinks, look no further. This place is the strip club equivalent of that weird girl that your older brother dated once who said scary things about huffing Lysol yet still kind of gave you a boner. Then he dumped her and everyone was relieved, but you still fantasized about the time you saw her drinking malt liquor and sunbathing in a confederate flag bikini. read more

In New York, it's all about fitting more into less space. Being no stranger to strip clubs, but not being a person who frequents them, I didn't expect to get much out of this establishment. Normally, I see strip clubs as the "ha ha let's all go throw dollars at naked ladies" norm that revolves around my Bay Area group of friends. New York Dolls has given me a new appreciation for stripping. Generally if I go to a strip club, it's in a large anonymous group. No such things can exist here because the space is so small. But small isn't the right word. Intimate is actually appropriate. Granted, the ladies are sweet talking you because that's their job. They're good enough to keep your eyes off the stage and on them, and there's easily enough girl for any interested guy. Normally I'm not an interested guy. Normally. Perhaps my Seinfeld physique draws the girls to me in this city. I only wish I had the same money, Lord knows strippers don't generally gravitate towards me. But the something about the girls at Dolls let's me drop my guard and feel willing to drop a few 20s on lap dances, something I'd normall have no interest in.I know there's nothing more than a little physical satisfaction. I know there's nothing more than a little fun that starts in the club and stays in the club, going only so far as my money can take it. And I'm okay with that. I enjoy it. I like it. The girls in here are real, for the most part. I don't hold much stock in whatever they tell me of there personal lives, which is limited, but the bodies and the way they move.... Let's say I miss having a girl, they remind me of it but make it okay. I guess I just have to work harder at finding someone when I get back home. We all know they're helping me work hard here. read more

In town for a good buddys bachelor party and wound up here to close out festivities. Its expected $20cover $3coat check $20 dances $11buds $13jack/cokes somewhat aggresive not bothersome but a good enough time Small room full of eastern european beauties w/aliases of autumn misty & lexus however I find natasha nadia @ svetlana to be far sexier. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a former miss ukraine in the group they were young, vibrant and extremely attractive. Its no spearmint rhino but no podunk joint either. Non fan of strip joints in general but huge fan of (.)(.) in yer face 8 of us...some married w/kids, some not, called it good round 3am. Not exactly bangkok for your buck nor montreal but again expected. Was actually happy to leave w/$6 in my pocket as i had to hold my last pee for an alley to save couple bucks from the bathroom attendant who worked the sink like a benihana chef, had andes mints and my jr high cologne lineup. Good move as this allowed me to score a slice next door and hop mta to port authority...congratulations friend of mine we'll do it again when you become a dad! read more

I don't understand why other dudes say they "rarely" hit gentlemen's clubs except for bachelor parties...I love jiggly joints...and would hit em up daily if logistically/financially feasible. I've been to cavernous vegas spots and this place is the antithesis of all those spots. Tiny and personable... The "entertainers" can actually have a conversation with you...mams hangin out and everything. I learned that a couple of these scantilly-clad lasses are going for their masters degrees and are strippin for rent money...bwa..haha..hahahaha...yeah, ok Drinks...are expensive, c'mon, we should all know that coming into these establishments. Now you know where I'll be on the 1st and the 15th of the month. ::makes it rain:: read more

In Manhattan you can go to the very high end "Gentleman's Club" or the very low end "hole in the wall". New York Dolls is definitely more in the middle, closer to the hole in the wall side. The place is small and needs a makeover. I even had a whole discussion with one of the dancers, she is studying interior design, on how she would make some simple changes to make the place better. Besides $11 beers, the girls were very warm and friendly. No attitudes at this place. How come whenever I go to a joint I always fall for the bartender? In this case, it was the masseuse. She was the cutest mix of Philipino, Italian, and Chek I have ever seen. She too was warm and friendly even after I made it clear I wasn't interested in a massage. read more

Very small small club and extremely aggressive, we said no to a couple of girls asking for dances who were not our choice but they kept coming back to our table. There is no space between tables to move or get dances. The service was horrible, wish we had read the reviews before going. read more

Dancers were boring. Music sucks. I sat down at the bar no one approached me the girls at like they don't know how to dance and don't know what they are doing. No Covid restrictions fr. I saw like 2 girls wearing masks. read more

Even though this place is located in an easily accessible area, it is best to stat\y away from this place. The dancers who work here have no manners at all. They are also very unattractive. Management should do a better job of hiring and training these women to treat customers like a human being instead of an atm machine. The venue itself is really small. All drinks are $12 and up and you're more than likely to get a glass filled to the rim with ice with a small splash of alcohol. Don't waste your time here. Stay away. read more

One of the staples of downtown history. My 60 year old friend Jimmy explained to me that it would be closing soon so we decided to go for old time sakes.. I couldn't have been more impressed with the quality and sincerity of the ladies of the night. That being said my lap dances and time spent with the ladies was an experience only enjoyed in old time clubs like this. My recommendation is go quickly before it is no more.. read more

Great Place ....Dope music and everything from the 90s.. The dancers here are beautiful and soft spoken , but this one girl Lexi stands out.....Exceptional!! read more

I was very mistreated on February 12th, was told by a stripper to leave if I'm not going to pay an excess amount of money. She kept approaching me (i am a female) and harassing me for cash or get the fu** out. I complained to management that I was feeling uncomfortable with the aggression and they proceeded to tell me its how strip clubs work. All I wanted was my $20 cover back, the manager was extremely rude and unprofessional and kicked me out, I was 100% sober read more

This is a small club with zero hospitality. The girls were not friendly, and their was no VIP area. The larger space they had in midtown closed and so the placed seemed to be very aggressive we spent $18 for a drink and were cramped into a small space at a table. Alot of european girls and very uncomfortable seating areas. We had one drink and left even though we didn't pay to get in, we left. Would not recommend for the money and girls, not worth it. read more

This is a small and pushy place. The owner is nasty and the door staff as well. We had a small get together and were disappointed couldn't even accommodate 6 people together The girls are average, it was super boring and not upbeat of up anything! read more

I don't get how this place got such a high rating. Come on people! Compared to other clubs in the city, this place is a way too divey to even deserve the moniker of a "gentleman's club." ugh. I did a recent review - went on Thursday day night - on my blog *redacted per yelp policy* read more

Awful. I went on a Saturday for a buddies birthday and my experience was so bad that I just HAD to create a Yelp acct. The girls were not attractive, it smelled funky, the drinks were watered down and expensive AND the waitress "forgot" to mention to me that there would be a minimum $100 hold if I use my Credit Card. tsk tsp NY Dolls!! read more

Highly expensive, I went in wanting to take part of the happy hour and to have some lunch just to find out there is no lunch and happy hour was just made out of thin air. I asked for one drink but was brought with 2, I had to pay for 2 drinks when I asked for one and was told that it was free. Wether if it was free or not for one drink to cost nearly $20 especially in that size of a glass is ridiculous, the girls there make you feel comfortable. If you come here make sure your wallet his filled if your gonna be drinking a lot fur the visit read more

better strip clubs in the area.....this place is small and overpriced. girls are meh...maybe 1 hot waitress and a few good looking dancers. Waitress Monica and Melinda kept messing up my orders and taking forever. I felt like I was being takin advatage of. Very RUDE girls . Manager is also not professional she treats the girls like hookers so I hear. I wont be returning...to negative. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE!! They tried to charge my credit card $200 when we went there just to have 2 beers on a Saturday night!!!! Luckily we had passes so we didn't have to pay the 20 bucks to get in. Girls were good and dances 20 bucks but $12 for a beer??? And alcholic drinks were $18. That's just insane! If it wasn't for the them trying to rob me blind and now having to fight that charge, I maybe would've given this place 2 stars. If you must go, have drinks before you go, try and get free passes or during a time it's no cover and most importantly ONLY USE CASH!! read more

The best 'Gentleman's Club' in the city. I've been to quite a few strip clubs in my day and this one is the best mainly because it is not a big space. When you go to a strip club that is large and there are more people there, the dancers will gloss over you and move on to next schmoe who is trying to forget how shitty his job is. I like the added attention. I remember one time I showed up the day after Christmas, I was the only guy there. I felt like the only slot machine paying out. I spread out my money and talked to some of the girls I knew there so I wouldn't be broke in ten minutes. To get the most out of this place, you're better off with the afternoon shift (12pm-8pm). I've always found this shift to have the friendliest girls. After 8, the ruskies come in and are predictably rude. 'Would you like dance?' 'No, not right now thanks' (then they leave in a huff). Another thing the Ruskies like to do is keep dancing and then slap you with a 40-60 dollar dance when you didn't ask for it. Keep track when a song ends. These girls are trying to cover their 'house fees' (every dancer pays the club to dance there). This is the kind of place you don't mind stopping by once in awhile (as you long as you have some money). It's very easy to get comfortable. If a dancer is too heavy, the club will tell her to lose weight. I've seen dancers shed off the pounds in order to keep dancing there. So, most of the dancers are in good shape. I haven't been there for awhile, but I have some good memories. Especially girls going the extra mile in the V.I.P. room. This would have been a five-star review, but I never found the night shift that friendly and it's hard to get a good lap dance when the place is crowded as you are practically rubbing elbows with another customer. read more

My husband goes here sometimes for a drink with friends after work. I don't care. He's taken me and I totally get it. Bar in the front, Naked Girls, Sports on TV, and Lapdances in the back. Meh -- we've had combined Bachelor / Bachelorette parties for some friends and,if anything, it was a perfect balance of fun for both girls and guys. Plus, the door guy, Marvin, is one of the sweetest people alive. A welcome spot in our hood. Those who don't like it because it's "a strip club" need to get over themselves. NY is getting too soft ;) read more

I still kind of like this place. Been coming here for more than 10 years and for the most part, I would have to say that I have had some fun times. Many of the girls I knew over the years have retired, which is, of course, to be expected. Still, I can always connect with a stripper, i enjoy their beauty and their company, so if you have a few bucks in you pocket that you can spend [and you WILL spend - a standard 12 oz. beer is $10!], you can have a real nice time. I got dances in the VIP Room, and let me tell you that I was totally not disappointed. In any way. Of course the dancers will want you to buy more tan one dance. Why wouldn't they? The game has changed for them, too. Used to be that they would get $60/night just for showing up. Now they have to PAY the club upwards of $400/night to work the club. Of course, when they hit it right, they can knock down $3200+/night, but that's not every night, it doesn't always happen, and they do have to deal with more than their fair share of dissembling fatheads, all-around jerks, general purpose dunces and common garden variety creeps. You'd be prickly too, given enough exposure to that lot. Anyway, I have had so much fun in there over the years that I really have no complaints, the occasional lying, thieving, royally obnoxious chick notwithstanding. Will I go back soon? You Betcha! read more

I have to admit that the girls (which is the only attraction I care for in a strip club) have improved at NY Dolls, I've been coming to this place for a few years now and recently the talent has gotten better. They have a diverse group of girls, Latina heavily represented, but a respectable % of black, Asian and even a few MILF's. It is not Eastern European dominated. The place's set up is to be desired, however the ratio of patrons to girls is very decent and the girls aren't overly pushy. This is NYC, nothing is cheap unless you are on the government dole, so be prepared to come with 20's if you want a good time, a lot of them. I personally like the management here more than in other places as they don't push the VIP room on you here as much as other places. read more

This is a ripoff joint like its midtown counterpart. They dancers ask if you want a dance, and then try to trick you into a few dances, just like in midtown. I have been coming to both for years but not anymore. It did not used to be like this. read more

I had been to Dolls before, but my friend from Chicago came to town and we needed to show him around NYC. Also our friend from Boston came to town to meet up with all of us. Our friend from Boston we'll call, "Dabes" and our friend from Chicago we'll call, "Ditchie." We decided that Ditchie needed to see some female parts when he was in NYC. He had been to NYC before, but had never experienced any of the gentlemen's clubs in the area. None of us are real connoisseurs of gentlemen's clubs so experience is not something any of us have at these types of establishments. Well let's just say we all had a great time. The ladies were all beautiful and they all seemed to be happy to be there. (Except for one. She looked sad and like one of our friends, but she wasn't our friend and she might have had a bad day. I won't hold it against her.) I even gave on a lapdance. She asked. I had to. She enjoyed it. I'm not the best lapdancer, in fact it was my first, but it was fun. Ditchie was on the prowl the whole night. He waited for the perfect opportunity to tip the most skilled of the pole dancers. One of Ditchie's greatest moments was when he summoned one of the nice young ladies to properly entertain him. She even gave him a treat. Similar to a lollipop, but more in the realm of the breast area. Dabes also had a blast. He was a bit shy at first, but he soon learned about what Dolls had to offer. He then became a bit more comfortable and you could tell he was enjoying himself. To recap: The girls were all very pretty and real. The beers were expensive, but manageable for the type and location of the establishment. My only quip is the price of the champagne room. $500/hour. I know it was all you can drink, but that's a bit much. Overall I give it 4 stars and it would be a place that I would go back to when I feel inclined. read more

everyone summed this place up...acts upscale but really is no better than the typical grimey spot...the back room where the show takes place is small and very cramped...the lounge spot at the bar has no one there and the drinks are very over priced...i really cant recommend this place read more

The girls may all look fine but little too aggressive. Dont ever pay with your Plastic Card!!!! My friend paid the entry of 69 USD for 3 of us.. They ended up charging him 200 USD for no reason. today I look at my statement and it shows 100 USD off my Card. My receipt states 62 USD and the tip I gave was only 10 USD (service wasn't all that) anyways why am being charged this amount. Eventually my friends banks blocked the credit cards .. The night was over quick. Bring cash!! read more

This is my second time at an establishment like this and I was not impressed and it actually turned me off from places like this. My first time was in Houston and it was fun - women were hot, in control, friendly and it was classy. This place is kind of seedy. Men getting lapdances at the seats around the whole floor, women were while friendly, not all that thrilled to be there, over heard strippers in the bathroom talking about antidepressants. read more

not my favorite even one dancer admitted there r def better but anyway girls were hot some a bit too pushy though

has any one heard of the "Blue room" at Flash Dancers gentlemen's club? i am looking to through a party for my buddy . Any details of what goes on in the room ?? read more

Wow, speechless. In the worst way. I decided to stop in blow off some steam after work. Have a few drinks and enjoy myself. I'm no stranger to the clubs so I know the game, I fully expected the regular pushy routine and I get it that's your job WHAT I COULDNT BELIEVE was the short and flat RUDE out behavior of two out of the few girls I saw. As a man I go to these establishments expecting a certain kind of treatment. Ill call them the two Ms - M for some one made a mistake letting them work; steer clear of these two Melinda and Monica. What kind of management hires a duo like them. If they would have not been in my experience I would have gladly stayed and blew off a little fun money but instead they drove away a costumer. I cant even review the rest of the place I was so blind sighted. read more
