My first time in Vancouver and where to my friends take me to party? A strip club! Gota love my friends and after that night. I loved them even more. My wallet on the other hand was hating me, along with my stomach from all the booze I consumed and my feet from walking after we forgot where we parked our car. Yeah it was that kind of night. Here's how it went down.... Just an FYI: I'm a straight girl. There's just something weird about seeing some dude shake his junk in my face in some tight, gross speedo. Key word: Gross! Now onto the ladies.... It was a quiet Saturday night along the streets of Main. The party was inside this corner bar called Number Five Orange. We busted through the door while loud music, drunk patrons, and a stripper wooed the crowd. The bouncers checked our ID and we shevled out $13 for our cover charge but hey we got a free beer out of it. I won't complain about paying $13 to see boobies in my face. The place was packed! We found a spot in the corner not too far from the stage. The only problem was this step my friend and I kept tripping over all night. The alcohol didn't help much either. The waitress's were very cool. They were quick with our drink orders and didn't skip a beat! Might I add it's hard to tell the difference between a loonie and a toonie when its dark inside. Towards the end of the night we were finally able to get closer to the stage. The seats were these super small stools but my friend and I managed to get both our butt cheeks on them. Again anything for boobies! I gave out the last of my remaining $5 to the last dancer and here I am stuck with my loonies, toonies and US dollars. You know how hard it is to stick a coin down a strippers panties? It has to be a skill! Come here for the boobies, drinks, great atmosphere, bring lots of five dollar bills and make sure you remember where you parked your car. Your feet will thank you in the morning.... read more

I can't seem to find any confirmation of my memories from the day, but in 1973 a buddy and I dropped some blotter acid, walked around Stanley Park, headed down town east side and ended up at No. 5 Orange which was a lounge where you could go to drink and gently come down from your trip to appropriate music emanating from a huge reel to reel tapes. Does anyone else recall this incarnation of No. 5, or was the whole experience just a hallucination? read more

Number 5 gets 4 Stars in the 'Dive Bar Strip Joint' category. Oh that isn't a category? Let's just pretend it is. Number 5 is a great spot to go for a lushy good time, but don't expect to see Ms.America on the stage. My most recent trip there saw what appeared to be a young mother with wayward 'headlights', climbing a ladder, post shower. If you're into carpeted bars, dingy booths and questionable dancers (which I am) this may be the place for you. Don't take yourself or anyone there too seriously, drink a lot of booze and have a time!! read more

This was the worst experience ever! The service was abhorrent, and the environment was dingy and dirty. We waited over an hour to get a waitress to our table! We were told that No5 Orange was rated high in pub fare, but were disappointed to see that they only had approx 4 items available on their menu, and they were anything but award winning. I'd never go here again. read more

Summary: Dont believe the bad reviews, the staff are nice, the girls are good looking and not pushy at all -the least pushy I've ever seen in a strip club, the drinks are not overpriced (7.25 for draft pale ale and 22 for a pitcher). Details: This is not my first time in a strip club, my last experience being Spearmint Rhino in Vegas I knew I had to lower my expectations for No 5, surprisingly, it turned out to be much better than I expected. I dont get where all the bad reviews are coming from, I guess people are more inclined to write a review after a bad experience than a good one. We went for a stag, I was the best man so I had to organize it. The research I did narrowed things down to the number 5 and Brandi's. When I called Brandi's to make a reservation the girl was so arrogant, rude and not helpful and was an immediate turn off, plus all the reviews commenting on their arrogance and pretentiousness shared similar stories, that left me with only the No 5. I have to admit the reviews made me really worried the stag was going to suck. I called the reservation line, the guy was nice and helpful, gave me all information I wanted. I went to check the place out one Sunday morning and the staff there were helpful too, nothing too sleazy or pushy. On the day of the stag the girl checking the ID was nice, smiling, the bouncer was also polite, politer than any bouncer I've ever seen. He mentioned that you can have a booth for a 100$ (which was something the reservation line never mentioned) and we took a booth. The girls dancing on stage are the best in the place. On an average their dancing moves were not that great but their looks -and being fully nude- made up for it. Girls will come offer lap dances and are not pushy at all, if you say no thanks she'll just smile, thank you, and leave without a word, not the usual sleazy "come on baby" and all that crap you get at many other places. 50$ for a lap dance is a bit steep, but you get it in a private room not on the table like some other strip clubs I've been to. Overall we had a fun night, not a single bad experience and everyone was quite happy. read more

this place was alright pretty fun vibes beautiful dancers(SILK IS THE HOTTEST DANCER I HAVE EVER SEEN) the bartenders were kind door people pretty nice too yeah it was an alright place why then am i giving it only 2 stars... i will tell you the little man with the big mouth on the mic talking shit while the girls are dancing i guess you would call him an mc but really i would call him an embarrassment making rude comments about the women while they dance does nothing to enhance the show. telling us how they,d like to suck our dicks or take it up the ass is fucking insulting to everyone in that room. i really don't know why that guy has that job, must be a friend or family connection or something.... but really guys, please for the love of everything a good strip club stands for ...lose that dude. asap. THANKS read more

I've been to No5 Orange a couple times, but last night was the worst experience I've had at a strip club, so bad that I felt I should warn others who are considering going here. I'm not surprised the female reviewers had a better experience and posted glowing reviews, because if you're a woman in a strip club you won't be targeted and harassed by the strippers like if you're a man. First of all, the woman working at the door wasn't friendly at all, and didn't even say hi to me and my friend, as soon as we walked in she said, "Give me your ID" in an impatient tone. The drinks are way overpriced, two shots of Bourbon (single shots) was $21, and then after tipping the bartender it was $23 for two little shots of Bourbon! That's the most expensive drinks I've ever had at a club in Vancouver. While we were sitting at our table watching the dancers, the girls will approach you and ask you if you want a private dance. I had brought my friend here as a treat for his birthday, and only brought enough cash to pay the cover charge, buy us a couple drinks, and buy him a private dance. I didn't bring my debit card because I was worried that once I saw all the sexy girls I might lose control and spend more money than I could afford to lose. I told my friend that if he saw a girl he liked to let me know, and I'd buy a dance for him from her. I told the girls who approached us the same thing, so they would talk to him and try to charm him, and eventually we found a nice dancer with a great body who was talkative and friendly. So I gave her the money and she went off with him. When he got back from his private dance he told me he was disappointed because it was only 2 or 3 minutes long ($50 for 2 minutes what a rip off!!!), and it was too dark in the private room so he could barely see her body. And that after the dance she asked him to tip her and when he said no she seemed annoyed. I will say though that she was very nice and friendly with me when I talked to her before and afterwards, so I would still consider hiring her if I ever go there again. Then after he got his dance, he told me he wanted to stay to watch one more performance on the stage, and then we could leave. While the show was on, another girl approached me and asked me if I wanted a private dance, I told her that I'd already bought a dance for my friend and we were leaving soon. She said, "Well you should get one for yourself too!" I said, "I already spent all my money buying him his dance as a gift." She said, "There's an ATM over there where you can take out more cash." I said, "I didn't bring my card because I was worried I'd have no self-control here. I only brought enough money for a couple drinks and one dance for him." She said, "Well that's a good story, but why are you even here still? You're not buying a dance, you don't have any drinks (we'd finished our drinks and didn't buy more because they're so overpriced), and you said you don't have any more money." I said, "I bought stuff here! I spent $80 tonight!" And then she said, "WOWWWW that's SOOOO much money!!" In a bitchy sarcastic tone, and then walked away. She really offended me and I told my friend right away that I wanted to leave, because now I was upset and didn't feel welcome there anymore. Maybe $80 isn't a lot of money to a stripper who makes hundreds of dollars or more in a single day, but for a guy like me who only makes $20/hour, I have to work for 4 hours doing HARD physical labour to make that much money. But I guess strippers don't want a "poor loser" like me to go to the club if I'm only going to spend $80 on the cover charge, a couple drinks, and one dance. I understand that this is a business and they have to make money, but have some respect for your customers! If you make us feel unwelcome and unwanted we'll take our money elsewhere. And guys like me who only want to spend $80 - $100 max on a night out help the business too. And if I they treated me with respect then maybe when I have a better job I'd come back and spend more money than I used to. Think about the future and not just your immediate greed. read more

Went to go here for my 27th birthday and they denied one of my girls because she " wasn't of age in her picture id " I have NEVER heard of that in my life. NO ONE renews their id until the 5 years is up. So that was complete bull. There was no reason for us to be denied entry other than her being racist. Then she proceeded to snap her fingers in my face and tell me I'm not going in. I asked her if it was the law or a written rule and if she could please pull it up and all we got was her attitude. Ended up going to brandis instead and had a blast. read more

Place hasn't changed in 20 yrs which is why I like it. Most dancers are pretty hot. Lots of new ones but I'd like to see a few without tattoos. Too bad our waitress was either heavily medicated drunk or still up from night before because we would have stayed longer if it wasn't for her shitty attitude when she can't remember a drink order or give us the right bill. Don't start a tab or give your credit card. Dances are worth it but bring cash. Bank machine is a rip off and not always working. Get the burger and fries read more

Best strip club, lapdance are also great with reasonable price 40-50 dollars ... give a try you wont regret it

Her: My name is Vulva, Vulva XC90 The Orange is easily the best place in YVR. With the Cecil gone, there really isn't much left in Vancouver if you want beer and boobs in the afternoon. They always have hot girls here. And you no longer have to wait 30 minutes to see a dancer. The girls are on stage real quick -- maybe a max 4 song intermission in the afternoon. Even quicker in the evnings. They still have the shower thing happening too. There are also so many private dancers walking around wearing next to nothing. Kind of aggressive at times trying to sell private dances. I really don't like paying $40 or $50 for a single song. Visit it while you can because the prudes will eventually get it shut down. read more

This was my first time in a strip club and a great time was had by all. My best friends and I had such a great time at the No 5 Orange. As girls, we were a little unsure of what to expect. Sure enough, we were treated with so much respect and experienced the best service. Don't be stingy! Tip, tip, tip! Seriously, who goes to a club and doesn't tip? Any ways, had such a good time. Will come again soon in the future. read more

After the waitress staff at The Cactus Club made my balls bluer than Gonzo's complexion, a trip to Brandi's seemed in line. My brother was already given a tip back at home that Brandi's had the best strip club west of the Mississippi (does that reference count in Canada)? Anyway, it was something like a bunch of chicks dressed up as Star Wars characters and little cutesy dancing and light saber dueling, all before the red alert siren goes off and the only way to blow up the Death Star was to hook up with the girl next to you. Even without our newfound friends recommendation that we had just met at The Cactus Club, I was ready to roll simply based on the legend of things. So there we were; about six dudes and three chicks stuffed in a tiny elevator and we were going down to what just could have been my Mecca. Then all of a sudden as the elevator doors opened, some hoochie popped her head out of a door down the hallway and yelled, "What are you doing? Get the hell out of here!" And just like that, before we could even step foot out of the elevator, we were on our way back up. Apparently during the slow season at Brandi's, it's pay for sex night instead of pay for lap dance night. Whoa is me. Needless to say, I was a bit frustrated. I already had the 3-d glasses in my mind set on high-definition and I wanted to see Princess Leia go down on R2D2. Luckily (which I thought at the time being) one of our newfound friends recommended Number Five Orange (which also happens to be in bum town). I was already pretty buzzed up from the Cactus Club, so this place could have been in Fallujah and I wouldn't have cared. Next thing I know, five minutes later and two Taxi's, we were all there. Ok... kind of looks like some scummy New York bar out of "Mean Streets," anyway... We all take a seat and I realized that I didn't have any cash on me, whatever. One of the guys we met earlier just offered to buy me my first lap dance. So after we sent Punky Brewster's red headed mutt of a sister packing, a girl was grabbed for me. She wasn't good looking either, but hey, it was free. So there I was, in the back of the club on a sticky couch for my very first lap dance. Ludacris was already through his second verse of "Move Bitch" and as I was getting a better look at this chick, I was almost thinking of the same thing and making a beeline for it out of there. Fuck it though, I told myself. Relax. She then straddled me. (And just to let you know, her Hilary Duff "Purity" perfume was not really to my liking.) Still, I then tried to lighten the situation, "So how's school?" I asked. "I don't go to school," she replied. Well I'll be dammed, it really is just a myth. Then, right before I could think of anything else to say, BOOM! AHHH! My face is in the vortex of a motorboat. BOOM FLUB BOOOM BOOM! she pulled away to collect herself. I then shook my head like Sidney Crosby after his second concussion. As I then finally gathered myself, she straddled me again and said those fateful words, "So how do you like my new tits?" Ok, of course I went in for a better look... Oh My God! It was a fresh titty job! Under her left boob was a tiny band-aid on the incision! The song then stopped. "That was kind of short, I can give you another one for free," she added. I could barely murmur a "No thank you," then bolted to the men's restroom. Right as I got in there (because that is how I roll) I pulled out my purrell and doused myself like Jenna Jameson just got a cream cheese surprise. I mean, my face was littered with purrell, oozing through every orifice - I needed to burn that image off of my face and out of my mind. I then headed directly to the bar. You have got to be fucking kidding me. All of a sudden my American ATM card didn't work? I then tried the ATM machine: DENIED. Next thing I knew, the manager had the club bum (yes, really the club bum. I know this because she opened the door for all of us) escort me to the nearest bank ATM. Again: Denied. After tipping her about 94 cents (because that's all that I had) there I sat, very uneasy with the rest of my group. But I couldn't take it anymore! I needed fresh liquor or a fresh set of titties in my face to erase that experience earlier from my mind. So on the tip from a local, I headed out alone and to the Chinatown District. Oh my fucking hell. The ATM machine just ate my card. (Mind you I had six more days left to spend in Vancouver.) After dodging bums shooting up heroin in the alley's on my way back (which still haunts me) there I was: back in the strip club with a complementary beer and a feeling of malaise. We didn't stay around for too much longer, but I'll be goddamned if that wasn't one of the most bunk experiences of my life. After my brother was deported (hey, things could have been worse), a nice Brazilian that I befriended on New Year's Eve, and finally the BLT sushi hostess (mail me if you are interested for the definition) on my last night, Vancouver wasn't all that bad. read more

This club is by far the best club left in town. They have private rooms upstairs and tons of hot girls even during the day! They open at 1130 am u can get breakfast there and sum tits. I will be back the private upstairs is worth every dollar. read more

This place looks kind of cool from the outside. It's painted Orange. Ten dollar cover gets you in and they have a bucket of beers ready at the door. So far so good. We sat down a group of six of us. First off $50 minimum per three minute private dance upstairs wtf???Sorry ladies this isn't Vegas. It's in a very sketchy part of town, not far from Chinatown. We went on a night when they were showing a UFC fight that went the distance, so we had to wait forty five minutes just to see the first stage act and the place was packed. Unlike the US Canadian strippers slowly strip through three songs and they like to use blankets, towels etc in their acts.To be quite honest the only girl that wowed us all night was this cute very talented little chick I think her stage name was Mandy Powers? She was easily Vegas Strip caliber and she knew it. All in all I would compare it to a typical Deja Vu club in the US just way more expensive! Funny thing is walking back on Granville there were some of the hottest women I've ever seen in my life coming out of the clubs. Anyway I will miss the Cecil Hotel, that place was awesome. :) read more

Classy gals, yet not great value @ $50 a pop. Okay for a business lunch, but if personal keep looking

I've been to strip clubs in Lower Mainland and the Okanagan, as well as Alberta, but last night was my first No. 5 Orange experience. I went with a guy friend (I'm a girl by the way) and we got there around 11:30 . There was no wait to get in but there were also no seats once we got inside. After about 5 or 6 min we got a table close to the stage and we saw about 5 dancers in the remaining hour and a half that the club was open; most of them were girl next door types. I wouldn't say any of them were 9's or 10's but damn some of those girls could move! I was a little disappointed, though, that the girls mostly played to the other side of the stage so I didn't get to see as many ass shakes as I'd have liked to (what can I say, despite being a hetero female I love me some TNA). To be honest I was shocked that some of the girls walking around soliciting private dancers are strippers. The 'hot' factor was not as high as I expected. On the other hand the club has a good feel, there were quite a few other girls there (I mean girls who were not there for the sole purpose of taking their clothes off to earn a living), and the waitresses were friendly and quick. (By the way, my friend had a rum and coke for 7ish dollars and a double rum and coke for 11.50 and I had a cranberry juice that was 4.50). It was a decent experience. I'd definitely go back again. read more

Amazingly rude wait staff serving over-priced drinks as though they're doing you a favor. I cannot recommend this dive bar to anyone unless you like paying for attitude. read more

The staff is so wonderful here. It's dark, moody, + relaxed. The girls are beautiful + friendly. It is my favourite stripclub in Vancity.

This place is pretty cool! Was my first time at a strip club and I had an awesome time. Yes, the drinks are expensive. Yes, it's just a block or so away from Carnegie. I also wish the girls had a bigger stage, for them to move around more and have more space to do their cool tricks. What made my night was when Cleo (Ack! Pretty sure that was her name...) stopped her performance to tell me I was cute! She went around my seat after her show and gave me a kiss on the cheek! Thanks Cleo! Spending extra time to do my makeup paid off for sure. Cover was 5 bucks! Not sure if it was because of the day we went or because of the time we went. read more

Not the classiest place in town but worth a 5$ cover if youre with mates and looking for a bevie and a bit of a laugh.

I have been to the ceciel, mugs and jugs, parmount club, the fox, etc.. this was my best experience so far, I went on a busy friday night after a hockey game. I got there early and just after the game the place was packed, with lots of hot girls and some decant guys, that I could actually cary on a conversation with, cover is sheap 10.00 beer resonable at 7.25 for domestic I beleive, all though it is a bad part of town, I felt safe as there is a firehall right across the street. The bouncer will frisk you at the door, and they keep a good handle on any one getting out of controll. The stage girls are decant looking with a few super hotties! They may go into the shower, if encourged a bit, they don't seem to dance to close to the stage though, but seems to make for a more social atmosphere, I useually feel like a pervert at a strip club but here they made me feel like I had a good night on the town! The VIp or private dances are well worth it.. yes you pay 50.00 but full contact up top, seems worth it no me.. ceciel was 40.00 a song but they wouldn 't even touch you and no touching them! If you really want some fun wait till the end of the night by this time the VIP girls are pretty loose, had there share of drinks! Then go fo a couple of dances, let them know you are from back east, that you are disapointed about the strip clubs here, and that you wish they would be more like Toronto/ quebec tell her you have the cash and that you like to tip.. you never no you just might get a decant lap dance... just saying! I will be going back to this club again! read more

cora cora cora!!!!!!!!! I have been to many strip clubs all over the world. From time to time I'll go to the 5. I've been there for many years. I'm not much for lap dances, been there done that. Over time this one girl has caught my eye. Theres just something about her. I finally bit the bullet and gave her a try. Let me tell you I thought I was going to have a heart attack. She is sensual yet dominating , super sexy and super cute. Her dance literally made my cum in my pants. my heart didnt stop racing for 45 minutes after!!!! Not only does she give an unbelievable V.I.P dance, her character was remarkably charming. Most girls there I find though attractive, very dull. I find many rude, cold and fake. Cora is warm, funny, real and SUPER SEXY! Believe me when I tell you. If you go to the orange find Cora!! I cant think of her without getting a hard on. read more

Never will I ever step foot in The No5 Orange, again. Talk about horrible customer service. My 2 pals and I went in for a couple of drinks yesterday afternoon, and were treated with such disdain that I actually had to laugh out loud. I worked in the service industry for many years, and I would have been fired in the blink of an eye if I spoke to or treated customers the way the door staff and waitress spoke to us. We were well dressed and polite, yet the doorman, door gal, and server could not have been more rude, or dismissive. The server actually started a conversation in the middle of our order, and continued the conversation for about 3 minutes. Seriously? We got the vibe of great staff entitlement, and that it was beneath them to interact with us. And never been to a club who charges women at the door.....$5 at 5pm in a dead bar? An unpleasant and unwelcoming experience. Big thumbs down. read more

I really enjoy this place. Weird neighborhood but worth the journey threw the area. Friendly staff and always a party. I would like to see some.new girls added to the lineup but other than that great place read more

I didn't like this place at all. I tried the food.....meh. Salty as fuck. Not appealing. The girls on stage were borrrrrrrrrrring. Same girls on stage over and over pretty much doing the same thing each time. Not worth the lowest tip of $5. We really need 1 dollar bills in Canada for strippers. Dispensed by special ATM machines and not circulated/accepted anywhere else in Canada outside of strip clubs. The bartender couldn't make me a good cocktail. I swear he used the shittiest whiskey in the place and charged me about eleven bucks for it. There was one young lady who was the VIP dancer of the day. She does her rounds to try pull guys for a private dance and if you say no she listens. I liked that. Waitress' switched and then I got this really bitchy one that I wouldn't tip after the second time she brought me a drink. Shortly after that I left. read more

I don't know what's happened to this place!!! I heard the owner is very hands off and leaves the place to be run by Jeremy who I don't know but I can't believe what's going on here now. I am a woman and I love strip clubs because it's a non judgmental place. 3 years ago I would start my night off here all the time but after not going out as much and returning in March on a Thursday ( not move something ) I had a disappointing experience. The cover female was rude and very short. There's NO need to be rude. This is a service industry I understand working at the front door is frustrating and you deal with a lot of idiots but when it's dead and all of us entering have our IDs ready there's no reason to be as frustrated as she seemed to be. When my friends and I sat at a table (5 women) we pulled up an extra chair to a table of 4. We made sure we weren't blocking the isle and within 2 seconds we had someone coming over to us saying we can't do that. After I explained we will move of it gets busy he reluctantly agreed and seemed pissed off LOL I mean seriously is that something to be pissy about? Anyways we were just getting stared at the entire time by the bouncers and it made us uncomfortable. Pretty sad I mean I know they want drug dealers and men with $ to spend but unfortunately this isn't Las Vegas it's Vancouver and you shouldn't be so unnecessarily rude to a small group of young women who in fact have money to spend. read more

Hadn't been here in a while, but Number 5 is a pretty awesome SC. Feels more down to earth than the others in Vancity, albeit maybe not as luxurious. I expected it to be pricier, both in terms of drinks and dances to be honest, so wasn't disappointed. Alexis is rad as hell. Super babe. read more

Definitely not the club of 20 years ago , Lots of hot chicks, seating is pathetic and the whole $100 bucks for a booth come on can you say gouge me, other than that the entertainment was good and lots of eye candy. read more

To start off, this place is located right down near the sketchiest, scummiest part of town : east Hastings. The building itself (inside and out) pretty much looks as you would expect for the location. Do not let these things fool you though and steer you away from a good time. The number five is a great time! My boys took me here for my bachelor party, and man did I get treated well. The place was pretty busy by 10pm on the weekend, so get there early. There are tons of tables though so something can always be worked out. I think that cover is about 10$. Be prepared fellas to be bombarded by good looking women every so often. They will come by asking if you would like a private dance, but they don't push so hard. I had 3 myself, all of which were spectacular. I know that it is their job to make the customer feel good about themselves to keep coming back, but I am convinced that I received some very special treatment. I recommend the tall Swedish Blondie. Dances are 50 a go, which seem to last forever with a raging hard on. Table massages cost about the same i believe. They do have girls on stage too though! Have fun and don't forget to bring your wallet. read more

given that this is one of vancovers last stripbars that hasnt yet closed down and open at noon ...it can be a fun place to go if your in your into girls girls girls..........drinks on tap are $6.50 and you best tip or you will never see your server again........the strippers are for the most part over 30 and dont smile at you very often and lap dance can run you $50 for less than 5 minutes.......money well spent you be the judge.........I only wish lap dance would cost you $20 so a person might be more willing to open his or her wallet and the girl might have more people willing to pay as well.......vancouver once had a lot of peeler bars in the 80s now we are a starbucks ,bubble tea kind of town..........what fun...........when you go to granville street and pay $7 for a beer .....i for one would rather pay the same and watch naked women for the same price ...........BRING BACK STRIP BARS. read more
