i go when i can, usually with friends and cousins. drinks are high for the area but its a club. alot goes on in side from shot girls, to massage girls, table dances, privet dances. the bar is fully stocked beer and mixed drinks the DJ's are usually good, you can request songs most of the time First weds of the month they have amature night which they say starts at 8 but more like 9- 9:30 depending on how many girls show i recommend it beats all of the other joints around the area hands down read more

They would not accept a card for the entry fee. Cash only. Not sure why? Any other strip club I've been to accepts cards. Just something to be aware of if you're planning to go. read more

I haven't been to this place in 15 years but when I visited this week.... very impressed. Classy environment, comfortable seating, welcoming and friendly security, and the girls....... I've never seen so many 9's and 10's working on a TUESDAY night at any club. Haven't been on a weekend yet but I was told that Fridays take the crown. I don't work there, and I rarely ever use yelp, but I feel like I would be doing New England a disservice if I didn't share my testimony against some people's assumptions, foggy memories, and old rumors. The bartender, Amanda, and gate keeper, Richard, are attentive and respectful, and Lauren gives a heck of a back massage. The star of the show for me was a very skilled dancer named Mindy. If you are lucky enough to cross paths with her... congratulations, and you're welcome. Just be ready for a sexy, humble, intelligent, and fun conversation. And let me know if you find the words to describe her private session. On that, I am speechless. This site doesn't offer enough stars for that performance.. - D read more

Last weekend me and a few of my friends visited The Golden Banana. A young employee serviced me and my companions for some may call, a lap dance. The young dancer was gyrating his backside in proximity to my crotch region. While the employee was doing his thing, he somewhat wiped his behind on my dress pants. That incident resulted in a brown smear on my thigh. I don't know how this could be fixed other than asking the employees to take better care of themselves. Overall this is very important because the hygiene of the dancers is counted on but the customer. (PLEASE TAKE NOTE) read more

Overall great experience. 90% of the staff was fantastic. Would've been a 5 star review other than one girl was extremely hostile for no reason. Attended the club with my wife and sister for a birthday celebration and were there to have fun. We have the utmost respect for any industry workers and she was accusing us of touching her when no contact had been made. She proceeded to put her hands on my sister in an aggressive manner and seemed to be looking for confrontation. Again, we were out for a casual night of fun. It was a very strange ending to an otherwise amazing night! The manager Kenny was very helpful and understanding in diffusing the situation. The ladies of Golden Banana were otherwise amazing and very kind! read more

Beautiful dancers. Amazing bodies. Great flirting with customers. Up close and personal.

Got there at 1130 pm cost me 20 to get in. If u buy drinks with card u have to buy 2 minimum. The vibe was great. The Girls I noticed are attractive and approachable, Giselle was my favorite dark skin beauty. She was giving lotion messages on your hands.. I purchased a lap dance from her.. OMG loved it!! I'll definitely go back earlier in the night this time. I seen boobs but they never took bottoms off.. maybe it's a topless club. I cant stop thinking about Giselle now.... read more

As someone who has been to at least one strip club in every state (except Vermont), this is by far the worst strip club in the country. very overpriced for everything and the bartender informed me that I could not use my card to purchase drinks despite having a POS system. very shady. In addition, not only do you have to "tip" some schmuck in order to go to the back room area to get a dance from a girl you then pay, but the girls just continue to dance and rack up the money without telling you the song is over. very poorly run which I guess would explain why there is maybe 40 people here on a Saturday night. $20 cover is definitely acceptable for a normal strip club but not this place. embarrassment. read more

I came here with my friend for his birthday, there wasn't many presentable looking women . It was my friend's birthday so he got the hott one and I was stuck with the unattractive one but I'm not unfamiliar with taking one for the team . After awhile I was approached by a gorgeous thick Latin , I stayed in the champagne room for hours and sadly I don't remember her name. We were having the time of our lives so much I'm sure we got lost haha. I will be back soon and I'll update with her name ... I for sure recommend this place ! read more

I visited this establishment a few days ago with some girlfriends and our spouses. A few of the ladies on stage didn't seem well and someone was throwing up in the ladies room. The day after our trip, our entire group was deathly ill with a stomach virus. So if this is the kind of place to make dancers work while they're sick, I want no part of that. I was told this was more classy than the Squire. Another thing I noticed from this so called "classy" establishment, there was a customer at the bar at the same time as me and the bar tenders were very rude and ignored her. Even after ordering a drink they made her wait till after they served others. I didnt know what happened there at first but you shouldn't treat paying customers like that. Especially when they're willing to pay your prices. I asked the lady about it. She said she didn't have enough cash for a tip and went to the atm to get more money. But after being treated like that, I wouldn't have tipped either. Hire some bar tenders that don't act like prissy little Karen's. Clean your place up and let the sick dancers stay home. Disgusting. read more

I decided to go back after a few years Large selection of girls. Average to high dance prices (30 dollars. But it's Boston, that's average) but they do have private rooms for two-for-60 and champagne rooms. Clean bathrooms and good atmosphere. Only downside was rude bartenders and female manager "Becky" (what is it with basic bitch beckys and my stripclub experiences these days? Ugh) Overall if you have $ and find a decent stripper you'll have fun . Especially since foxy lady closed down in RI read more

horrible someone tried to spike my drink and the bartenders are disrespectful. the prices are outrageous and the quality of the entire place is horrid read more

Candy did well. She clearly has experience. The others are lacking and are in dire need of experience. Otherwise, I was pleased by the performance. read more

Gave it another try it just keeps getting worse. They need to close for a few weeks and do a massive renovation on the building and the dancers. The cover charge is a joke on a Sunday read more

I've been to the Golden Banana a few times since the re-opening. I think they do a fantastic job of catering to all clientele. I typically go with my girlfriends and somehow I am able to hang out with my friends in comfy chairs, watch sports on the big screens at the bar, drink some great libations and not notice the totally nude women dancing on the stage. The women are beautiful, including the bartenders. I like the atmosphere, very classy. However, I could have done without the jello shot girl showing me her milkwagons. It was a cute little dance but I'm really just interested in the alcohol, thank you very much. I'm pretty certain that these women aren't really into the dance. I imagine that they are just going through their grocery list in their heads. I think it goes something like this: Dancer: (while rubbing breasts)"I need milk, eggs, detergent.." Anywho, I always have a fun time when I go to The Banana. The owners are great guys and understand what the customer wants..whether they are male or female. read more

Hmmm, so its been a while seen I have been here, but the second time back was not that bad. Heres the picture: One of my dad's good friends from Central America came to visit. Now, in most families that means lounging around the porch and reflecting on old times while knocking back a few.. In my family, it calls for getting completely drunk and dragging the only sober guy in the bunch to the strip club so he can drive. Needless to say I was the sober guy. It all started when we went to Bertucci's in Rt. 1. Since we were 5 Latinos going to an Italian restaurant, naturally they sat us all in the back corner of the restaurant. Dad and friend polish off 2 bottles of wine. After 2 hours of lively conversation, Dad throws me the keys to his truck and says "You're driving" Normally, this would result in squeals of glee from my part (because his truck is SWEET), but unless you have driven 4 drunk old-world latinos around in the cramped cab of a pick up truck, you would not understand my horror. After we bought lottery tickets, my dad says these fateful words "Fuck it. We are men. Lets go to a strip club" The only options were the Squire and the GB. They left the decision to me, and knowing that it would have taken a half-hour for these drunks to get past the metal detector ("Whaaaa? Belt buckles are metal? Defug you talkin bout?"), I decided on this place. F. We chilled there for about a hour and a half, before the rest of the group started to get lap dances. I noticed that my dad was talking to one of the strippers and started motioning towards me. Thats where i draw the line. The same man who taught me how to ride a bike, change the oil in a car, save money, drive a car etc, is NOT going to buy me a lap dance. Its too weird. Unless you have been there, you wouldnt understand. As a result, I left and slept in the truck for an hour before they exited the club. The reason I am telling you this whole story is because it may serve to throw off my rating , due the fact that I was scared shitless throughout the entire night. In terms of the actual rating, the quality of the girls skyrocketed from the last time I was here. I almost drooled on a stripper that looked exactly like Rihanna, sans abuse (too soon?). The waitresses were nice and for some reason I just got better vibes from the place than the last time I was here. Its that intangible characteristic, that X factor, that can determine whether or not you like a certain locale. Maybe its the decoration, or the people, but for some reason I actually had fun. Go figure I am still not coming back though. read more

This is the legendary strip club on route one that was shut down years ago but is now, like John Kerry said: REPORTING FOR DUTY!!!!! I mean it's opened again. The outside is lit up and has the sign with the banana and lots of cars in the lot. and THAT'S IT. I can't go in there. The next bachelor party is for Bulldog and it's at Mohegan's. My wife would kill me if I went for (just the heck of it) and to be honest I'd rather be giving my wife a lap dance. (she said no) oh well. someone else review it and I will read it. UPDATE: the gas station in front is 2.98/ gallon. I saw when I drove by. That's not bad. (wow i wish, it's now $3.98) read more

Despite the name, this is heterosexual entertainment heaven! Golden Banana does sound like the name of a Chippendale's club, but it is far from that. It's all about the tig bitties and ate grasses in here! The strippers are insanely hot, experienced dancers, and definitely know how to make a pole sizzle. Did I mention that the strippers are insanely hot? Drinks are moderately priced for a strip club, so that is a plus. It's a fairly classy establishment, so you won't feel like a total skeezeball for wanting to go here. I do have one complaint, however: the night I went, the music was absolutely horrible. Is James Brown's "Living in America" anyone's idea of a great strip song? Or Marilyn Manson? Are you serious?? If only the music choices were better. This is the quintessential strip club to go to in the Boston area-- beats the Cabaret, Squire, or Mac 2's by a longshot. Come to think of it, I do have one more grievance I'd like to address: the no touch rule : ( read more

between The Banana and The Cabaret across the highway The Banana was always known as the better, cleaner strip club. The Banana was the first in this area to put strippers in cages, a good thing? anyWho, now the tables are reversed. went a few days after the re-open and Holy Crap this place is wicked dark inside. plus the strippers were only slightly better than skank-arific. i'll check it out again as soon as i get some more vaccinations. read more

Never been a fan of strip clubs (I prefer getting the real thing) so maybe I'm a bit biased. I think I could do without the $8 beers and the below average women. There is probably only one or two decent looking dancers here. The club itself is dark as hell, however, it's very clean and somewhat "classy". The bathrooms are nice for a strip club. I've gone a couple times, probably won't be back. But if you enjoy throwing around dollar bills for boobs, this is the place to go! read more

Oh my. I can't really believe I'm writing a review of a strip club, but here I am. Every friend I've told about my visit to the Golden Banana was surprised that it employed scantily clad women and not men. And they make a good point. I mean, "golden banana" implies a certain part of the male anatomy that women don't usually have. Who knows. As strip clubs go, though, this one was on the classier end. It's a little dark, sure, but the dancers are mostly attractive and the security is discreet. We didn't eat here (there are plenty of restaurants along Route 1), but the beers were expensive, though the selection was pretty big. Unsurprisingly, I got a few stares from other patrons, most directed slightly lower than my face, but the dancers were friendly. Oh, and who knew MA allows full nudity? read more

My hubby brought me there to satisfy my curiosity about gentlemen's clubs. We got comped at the door once I explained to manager why we were there. He was so nice, he sent us over a round of drinks as well. The music went from cheesy 80s to current Top 40. The dancers were amazing! They were all so sexy. You can tell most of them had classical dance training. I worked up the courage to get a private dance. The girl, Amber?, Was so sexy. What started as 1 dance turned to 6. My poor hubby kept dishing out the money, but I am sure he enjoyed the view. Had such a fun time. Ladies go once with your partner and have a blast. read more

Just need to go! It's a strip club!! Wow! Really hot girls! You won't be disappointed!!

Every time I go here I leave happy. Everyone from the bouncer at the door and all the girls are just super nice. Yah, beers are a little pricey, the one downside. read more

The music is trash... worst music ever. I went to the Christmas theme party last night with special guest, Darcy Dulce. Rude door staff (to a group of 3 women). That started the night. The girls were real women, nothing crazy - they were however not happy to be their. Tips would probably be better if you would smile or at least pretend to be happy. The women didn't work the whole stage, even when sharing the two sides. The special guest did a fine job, but nothing overly crazy. Overall my worst strip club experience so far in MA. read more

The Golden Banana has always been one of the top exotic hotspots in New England. The club is elegant, with a great atmosphere, and staff. The girls are top notch, and it is a very couples friendly establishment. Classy, not sleazy. read more

Hot girls strong drinks this place has In one of my favorites for years. worth going in to check out read more

What happened to this place?! Are they trying to make it respectable? ("respectable" for strip clubs is a completely relative term) Where did the cages go? Where are the old, drunk guys mumbling unintelligably stage side? I'm guessing across the street at The Cabaret. Why is there a bathroom attendant eagerly standing behind me with the hand sanitizer? and if they have to have a bathroom attendant why does it have to be an old guy...or a guy period? (Maybe he was promoted from stage side?) And why are half of the patrons women? My wife told me that it's trendy now for women to go to strip clubs like it was trendy 10-12 years ago for women to smoke cigars. Why do trends suck so much? It's really hard to make Lenny and Squiggy faces at the strippers with a table full of women sitting right next to you.They're trying to take all the sleaze out of the place. I'd only give it 2 stars but I'm giving it 3. 'Cause of the nude ladies. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. I thought the Cadillac lounge was bad and said I would never go back that place is 20 times better then here. Few girls were decent but mad rude they dont take there clothes of and I could see some of them blowing lines out back. And 6 girls on a Friday night worst strip club I've ever been to. DONT GO!!!! read more

This place is awesome. The skeeviest girl I've ever seen dancing here is only half to about five eighths as skeevy as the skeeves at the other strip clubs in the area. The cover is a little expensive but the guys at the door are good for a joke, and a little advice. My girlfriend was calling me and I said something like "She's going to be calling me all night" and the guy snaps back with "If you pull your battery out, the message is the same as when your phone dies". I was impressed. They also let my cousin in for free when he showed his military I.D. 5 stars for supporting the troops. I can usually get a few laughs out of my battle-hardened cousin, although it isn't easy. When I made it rain $11 on the last dancer of the night he was cracking up, so my mission was accomplished. Great family fun at the Golden Banana. 5 stars read more

Very sexy ladies and I feel like I always get that extra attention. The bar has everything and you can really have a great time with friends here! Much better than other spots in the area. read more

I was very disappointed Saturday night because the private dance cost $60 and you can't even touch Dem this was so stupid.its very discouraging to a first timer. I'm don't want to go bk dere again it's a waste of time read more

Well. This place charge you a cover fee when there is absolutely no one in the club. I went in a Tuesday night, the bouncer asked a $10 fee immediately. There were only a few girls worked that night, all white and Asian. No one was really interesting by the way. Girls were not too satisfied to see so little customers and it showed on their performance. Constantly got harassed by girls for a $30 lap dance probably only last for 2-3 minutes. MA strip club is far worse than RI ones. read more

Classier than the cab across the street.Not bad looking inside.The DJ will take song requests. But the dancers were boring.Nothing unique.No pizazz.No showmanship.Too many bad boob jobs.They just seemed unenthusiastic.I haven't been there in a year.....maybe there is more interesting dancers now. read more

Very dissapointed in last saturday night... $30 cover for me and my Lady who is hotter than any dancer that night. (hope it was the holiday that the talent was lacking) The dancers show no personality or interest in the customers. even thought the waitress was fantastic, she didn't know we were ther for 20 min. despite the fact the host sat us down at the table... Matbe I will go on a different night, but unlikely DDY read more

Best strip club ever! Filled with super hot girls both on stage & off! Gotta love girls who love girls, only if they're hot of course! Cover & drinks are pretty cheap for a strip club too! Win win! Why go anywhere else? This has become the place to be! read more

Went here last night 02-20-15 and it wasn't to bad the drinks kept coming ladies was pretty good. 1 girl in particular that me and my friends enjoyed and that was Kayla (she's the only black girl they had but she's freaking HOT) The music could be a little better but for the most part it was an amazing night. So amazing we are going tonight again since Kayla said she only works Fridays and Saturdays don't miss out read more

Where did Chantelle go?!?! Does she usually work at Tens? Haven't seen her lately! She is gorgeous!

Awesome place with definitely the best looking girls in Massachusetts. I recommend Scarlett for a dance on Thursday nights (gorgeous)

Does The Banana have Ladies Night with male dancers ? Wife and friends interested.
