It's a Strip Club. In the alley. Behind the Hyatt. It cost us $5 to get in. It was dark, and was about the size of my old high school boyfriend's basement rec room. The girls had a lot of tattoos. A LOT. Not that there's anything wrong with that! Anyway, it was my first time to a strip club and I had a good time. The kamikaze shots did not hurt. read more

This is a great little club tucked away from the street. It's a little small inside but isn't uncomfortable. Drinks are relatively inexpensive. The dancers are great! We had a particularly good experience with Ivy, who is an incredible dancer and was friendly and accommodating to my wife and I. read more

Club is great always good money spent no complaints. But if u happen to be there when Mya is working your in luck because she is the hottest dancer in philly her sex appeal is unmatched. Get with her for private dance and you will see where I'm coming from read more

The only strip club I've been to and I appreciate that it's topless only. Situated right next to an Applebees (in case you've got to take a dump) Gold Club is a carpeted, couchy, topless club with A-B cup dancers. Seriously, every time I've gone I haven't seen juggable jugs or hoot-worthy hooters. There are two (maybe three? maybe I was seeing triple?) poles on stage that get wiped down with the 'nasty rag' right before dancers launch themselves on and twirl around. Spoiler alert, all dances end with boobs and a g-string. Immediately afterwards the girls walk around and smush their boobs together in front of you asking in a whispered baby voice "will you tip me for my dance?". Out of guilt and pity accompanied by sheepish giggling, you always do. read more

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye! No, not the best; but definitely not the worst strip club in the City. I haven't been back there in years; surprised to learn its still alive. Difficult location (I actually kind of liked this spooky, back-alley spot underneath a huge parking garage). Right next to City Hall, can you stand it? Bwahaha aha ahaha! First off (to the other reviewers) I suggest that you can't really 'judge' this strip bar or consider it the standard for all establishments of its type--unless you are an experienced strip-bar customer. No one who frequents such joints really takes this place very seriously; the things-they-do-wrong-here are goofy but they're an element of hilarity singular to just this one place. Its a ghetto strip bar; you sabby? That's the fun of it. Predominantly black staff (both dancers and clientele). North Philly baby-mama-ghetto-fabulous drama queens, (visible bullet holes on their bodies) prancing around, somehow under the impression that they're big -time entertainers. Its a hoot! As a white guy to stroll in here and do the do-re-mi; its like a scene from a bad Bill Cosby movie. Hard to keep the chuckles down as menacing, glowering mandingos in mauve three-piece suits and felt fedoras and silk handkerchiefs (CONSPICUOUS bulges in their upper right-breast pocket) keep an eye on you from the corner of the room, 'in case you're here to cause any trouble'. Yeah, okay sir. Whatever. Like there's no drug dealing going on in THIS place, eh? lol. 'What it is, my brutha'. 'Outtasight'. 'Heavy'. 'Get down'. Anyway. All in all, you can have a good old fun time in here as long as you pay attention to everything going on around you. Always go with a good pal and watch each other's backs. This is a 1970s time machine. Value it while its still around. read more

I was in the club not to Long ago. Normally wouldn't write a review. The staff was excellent except one girl. She offered "favors" with her dance if I got one. Normally most would not complain about this offer, but she is going to get a lot of people in trouble along with herself. She had orange or red hair and was terrible when I declined. I'm not looking for a hooker hun. Guess that's what you get when you got to a strip club in a dirty alley. read more

Went here after drinking up a storm with a very drunk friend of mine...total disaster as my friend was uncontrollably drunk and the dancers were totally below average. They were really hustlin' on giving lap dances, though. Gotta give'em credits for that... Even with my beer goggles on, I couldn't help but to cringe at the dancers. BUT if the occasion calls for it, I'll probably be back at this joint.. with a bottle of anti-bacterial sanitizer. read more

First thing first, difficult to find if you are using Google maps. Takes you to a hotel, lucky for us, the valet knew exactly what we were looking for. So yeah, this place is small, some chairs, small stage and some cute dancers. We were there on a Saturday around 8, had some beers gave some dollars. I gotta say, there were three dancers there that were awesome. Lennon was one, super cute, don't remember the second but she liked to talk (even got in trouble) but the third. OMG, knock your socks right off. She was half Asian (maybe Japanese) and something else. This girl made you want to give her your money, trust me when I tell you put your dollars in your mouth tilt your head back. definitely one of the best dancers I've seen. read more

Hidden gem in the French quarter of Philly, dancers are top notch, and the staff is very friendly, highly recommend. They can also tell you the best places to get food in town. read more

The girls are nice, I knew some girls who worked there so I went there to visit them. That probably made it more fun, but once you're drinking, you actually stop worrying about how everyone looks. Though I remember a girl asking me if she could give me a dance and that she was pregnant. I felt bad and didn't know what to say. Some of the girls are alright, but their personalities rocked. After a bit, most of them learned my name, and people were generally nice. It is small, and the ceiling is low so don't expect entirely too much. read more

Just stay in your black hole, no need to go outside and waste your time whining at a place like this, your wife hates you? Kids hate you maybe? Idk. Just stay in your black hole of a life. read more

I am so happy that gold is back open! The staff was amazing. I was especially pleased with Scarlett. She was so talented, enticing, and nice. All of the girls are so pretty, but I will especially be looking out for her again the next time I am there. read more

Had my birthday party there in January, what a great experience! It was the third stop that night for our group, so the manager was expecting us and everything went smoothly. The bottle service we ordered was waiting for us and the entire staff was friendly to our group. Dancers on staff vary in body types, so there is a dancer there for everyone's preference. I highly recommend stopping by the club, have a drink & take a look, and book in advance if your taking your group out for the night. read more

Well... I got a little awkward story about the first time I ever went to The Gold Club. So this place used to be a dumpy strip club called The Office (perfect material for so many puns). It was dark, dirty, seedy, used to have pool tables, and quite questionable dancers until one day it closed. Sometime later The Gold Club emerged. As much as I try to avoid strip clubs because they make me feel really uncomfortable, I ended up here for a friend's birthday. I pretty much just sat in the back trying to avoid any contact with everyone until the dreaded moment I had to pee. Looking around, I see a hallway with a door and think that must be it. Boy was I wrong! I walk over, open the door, walk straight in, ...oh geez! Turned out to be the dancers' dressing/undressing room. My jaw dropped. I was stunned at how bad I just straight up fucked up. I seriously thought I was about to get the shit beat out of me by all the bouncers. Thankfully this one nice woman walks up to me completely buck ass naked, picks my jaw up off the floor and says "Honey, you lost?" I completely digress into a little boy and answer "Yes, ma'am." She says it's ok, takes my hand, and (still completely naked) walks me out, through the club, past all my friends, and to the bathroom. She drops me off, pats me on the butt and says "Here you go, honey". I've never felt so bashful before in my life. I then noticed the bathroom attendant laughing at me out loud. All I could really do was just laugh with him. I left soon after that, but not before telling all my friends what happened so they could also have a good laugh at my expense. It was one of those nights I was thankful I don't really get embarrassed and also that I thrive on awkward situations. My Synopsis of the Gold Club: -Quite the Dive for a strip club -Girls aren't busted -Not a place for a big party or anything, but alright if you like seeing naked people and have a few laughs. PS-I'm trying to never go back. read more

Well I'm from out of town so I heard this place was amazing. Yes pretty girls. Very talented. But the bartender Megan was incredibly rude to a female friend of mine. She asked to audition and Megan accused me of being her pimp and called me friend fat and ugly and suggested she try the Ballpark. Even a bottle of Xanax could not improve Megan's mood. All that time you're spending fixing your making won't work on your inner ugliness. As for the person who says Megan has a nice ass, well hey there has to be something good about her. Her attitude sucks but if her ass is the only thing good about her that's pretty bad . And what's this about her serving pregnant women? That's dirty. read more

So I'm reading these reviews for this place, and they're a bit mixed. I decided to check it out for myself, especially Wednesday's with Megan. Turns out she's amazing. She served my underage buddy, and me and her got high and had some fun in the bathroom. So yes Megan, you do have a nice ass. Thanks for letting me do things with it. Only problem is, why haven't you returned my phone calls???? read more

This place has a lot of hot dancers with incredible bodies. The bartender was also hot and fun. The problem is that the lap dances are $40. They are insane. read more

Its located in Center city down an alley on chancellor st. They hire homeless guys to give out passes that allow you and a friend to get in without paying the normal cover charge ($10 each) so if you have a pass you already save $20 dollars. 1st things first they all show full tits on stage while dancing, if you want to see them fully naked you have to drop $30-$35 on a dance in the back rooms. On average the girls are kinda ratchet but id say about 15% of them are super gorgeous, and the other 85% range from pretty good looking to mediocre. No dancer there is ugly, and id say even the worst one will still make some blood flow if you know what I mean. The drinks are fairly expensive ($6/shot and $7-10 for a beer or mixed drink), but the bartender is super attractive and always wears this leather revealing corset, so you will want to tip. So overall you will have a good time there. I would also recommend that you don't go into that place without having $50 in cash ready to spend. Hope this helped while you are planning your night filled with debauchery. P.S. the ATM has a $6 dollar surcharge fee and your bank will probably get you for another few dollars. there is a Citizens bank, BofA, Wells Fargo and PNC ATM all within a block or two, so go there and save some coin before making it rain. read more

They steal. All the girls are gross and they try to scam you. STAY AWAYY. They add drinks on your tab and then pretend that someone else said they were with you and were on your tab but it's all a scam. Gross. Stay away! read more

I was at this joint running a tab recently & purchased 3 drinks, left without closing tab & get a call the next day from bank notifying me of 2 separate $150 charges. These low life's charged my card extra $ for drinks I never purchased & an extra $150 for a 10th anniversary guest list charge that I never agreed to. Stay away from this place, they are scam artists. I was so furious I tipped off bbb & IRS. read more

This place was interesting to say the least. The drinks are watered down & overpriced, and many of the stage dancers are lackluster. I think it's a little odd/guilt-trippy when the dancers come off stage and ask if you'd like to tip them. I mean, if I wanted to, I'd go up to the stage and do so! One of the (drunk) dancers had a convo w me in the bathroom about finding out she was pregnant, that culminated in me holding her hair while she puked in the sink. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this place at all, except for entertainment value and Nina. Nina is one of maybe 4 very beautiful women who make going to this place worthwhile (besides pure comedy). She gives a crazy lap dance - bought my friend his first one from her. I don't know what the "official" rules are, but she told us "You can touch anything that's not covered", which was everything but about 6cm covered by the hint of a g-string. After the dance, she came and hung out at our table and we talked about piercings and some other randomness. Some of the dancers seem a bit bored, and seem to like talking to people, without freaking them out or badgering for tips. Gold Club is good place to spice up a potentially dull night with boobs and comedy. read more

This club is great. With great girls. It's the management that needs to be dealt with. First off IF IF the ATM is working that night u can get money with an overpriced surcharge. However a Saturday night in center city and they don't have any money in the ATM machine and then it's broken half the week?!?! I mean seriously people. Get your business together. This club would be great if any of the bouncers or managers gave a damn about anything but money...but wait...to get more money, you need ATM machines , and without one is just going to reduce your business 10 fold. Put a damn ATM that works inside the place and maybe id give it another star. But the incompetence of the management is so bad I'm writing a review of the damn place haha...but seriously if they can't keep a working and full ATM in the building by 2016...It's pathetic!!! read more

I went there on a Wednesday around 2pm. The girls were ok the place was dark, there was cold pizza and the bartender Megan was plain awful. She was putting her makeup on and was irritated when I asked for a drink but had no problem serving a pregnant women who asked for a gnt. I had 500$ on me that I was going to spend. But not to a club who lets it's bartender serve a pregnant woman. She should have been fired. When I asked to speak to her manager about it she cursed me out . Wow. read more

The biggest untold scandal is that the bartenders literally steal your cash off the bar. It has happened many times. And when you confront them, they of course act like they know nothing. And the pressure to buy the dancers drinks gets old, especially when they inevitably order some odd $15 drink. Here's an idea, Ms. Stripper: Your bartenders rob my cash from the bar and I have tipped you ten times in an hour. You buy me a drink. Good place otherwise. Good times and glad they are now open Sunday nights. Good DJ music, dancers are generally friendly and nice. read more

Well, Like most clubs of this nature you get some up's and downs. This place is usually very cold inside and there is always a cover, but they seem to have a little something for everyone if you know what I mean. Like any adult club you need to come planning on spending money. It's very rare that I would even go in there, but it usually happens after a very long night of hitting up the town. I'm not a fan of bathroom attendants to begin with, but when they are stuffing one inside a very small bathroom it makes it even worse. But all in all you never feel any shame when you go in there. I mean for being located in a back alley off of 15th st. it's a lot better then what you would expect. read more

Such a fun divey strip club! If you want class and a-class dancers, then head up to NYC. But for $10 cover and some surely entertaining hangover memories to laugh about the next day, go here. PS- if you buy a $6 shot from the shot girl, it comes with a free mini lap dance ;) read more

I was looking for a place to sell a gold watch that I had inherited from my father upon his passing and was looking for a gold dealer to purchase it or in the very least provide me with some direction. I remembered a sign that I had seen called "Gold Club" so I headed that way. As I approached the location I started wondering if this was in fact a pawn shop. As I entered the establishment, I was immediately met with a beautiful young nearly naked woman who asked me about my watch. I was offered a private dance in exchange for it - well more like forced to a room and robbed of it. I have never been so frightened in my life! An overly aggressive nearly naked woman was trying to rob me! My Lord! What is going on in this pawn shop?! read more

So the girls aren't the hottest and the place is difficult to find, but all in all this is a great strip joint conveniently located to my office. I've dropped more than a few paychecks on girls I wouldn't even take a second glance at on the street. Why? well because it's great fun, that's all. Check out my full review at stripclubs.com http://www.stripclubs.com/club-reviews/PA/7207/The-Gold-Club read more

I want to give this 2 1/2 stars but since I can not give 1/2 stars (thanks YELP!) I will give it 3. My friend is going to be hosted a bachelor party for a mutual friend of ours and he asked me my input on possible locations, I do not visit strip clubs too often so my knowledge is limited. My friend decides that we should probably do some research then, who am I to oblige. Went there on a Friday night. All the reviews are correct this place the place is difficult to find and very small. There is 1 stage that is probably about 8 feet long and 4 feet wide. The bar can only allow for 4 or 5 patrons to sit at. Drinks were priced moderately high to high for this type of establishment. There is 3 rows of chairs and each row probably had 8 chairs in it. They are very confided so not too much leg room and the girls who come around for the dollar parade have to navigate through it. The talent was average at best, one or two moderately attractive young girls and the rest were past prime. The good was that because it is a small place you are close to the stage and the action. Another positive was the lap dance area was very private. read more

Philly take on a chain of clubs. Girls - 8/10; remember that they are there to make money!!! Boobies - nice with few "bolt ons"; Drinks were ok - no complaints, though a bit pricey. All in all a 7, but only because it is such a small place. Just no room to move around. read more

Dirty club. Cheap girls except one pale girl was nice. Cocktail waitress Asian was extremely rude. After every song they wanted a dollar and came around. Didn't like that. There has to be better in philly. Place is a dump read more

Let me say that I have been a regular for a few months, usually daytime - I must say I Wednesday's with Megan are great, she is cheerful and engaging. She is a great bartender and extremely attractive as well; i never been disappointed. I will say that every time I have visited this establishment there have been at least 3 dancers available to cater to your needs, all friendly and not as aggressive as other places I have been. All in all, I would recommend a visit, you might be surprised. read more

If I could give this place less than 1 star I would. I went here last night for a birthday party and to see the wonderful ladies of the Peekaboo Revue perform a few numbers. The place was a total dump but I figured I wasn't there for the place..I was there for my friends. And then some guy who was sitting at the bar decides to assault me. Not once did I interact with him, shoot him dirty looks or anything of the sort. I can't even chalk it up to my being a drunk idiot. I was sober and nursing one small gin and tonic the entire night. But as he is walking out of the bar he grabs the flower in my hair along with a chunk of my hair, rips it out and throws it to the ground. I didn't know what hit me because it came completely out of the blue. My head was throbbing but I picked up the flower and ran out the door yelling at him. The bouncers did nothing, the bar did nothing and the bartender was a complete bitch about the entire thing. My boyfriend asked her if she saw anything and told her what had happened. She nastily responded with "what the hell do you want us to do about it?" And basically told us to leave if we had a problem with it. The bouncer did at least ask me if I was ok and told me he wouldn't let the guy back in even though he stood there and watched the entire thing. The way this place handled what happened was not right. It shouldn't be brushed aside so quickly when a male patron assaults ANYONE in your establishment...let alone a woman. This place sure as shit isn't worth the time and money. $10 to get in. $9 for a super small gin and tonic with hardly any gin. And a chunk of hair ripped out of my head. Nope..never going there again. Nor will I ever say a good thing about the dump. read more
