1. The Drinks
Drinks are overpriced, they have been since the first time I went there. I'm talking $7.50 for a 12 ounce Bud Light overpriced. Mixed drinks are around $9 and I think some go up to $15 (though honestly I stopped drinking hard liquor a long time ago so I'm not exactly sure. I know the most recent time I was there my buddy's mixed drink was $9 and he had a Jack and Coke). Also, the girl bringing the drinks is (usually) very attractive, so if you're anything like me you'll end up her tipping really well. If you are like me you'll be paying $10 a beer, $2.50 to tip the lovely girl bringing them to you plus the $7.50 for the beer itself. (And that's just for cheap beer like Bud Light. That's what I always drink so I'm not sure if other beers are more expensive or not)
2. The Girls
The girls are usually 9's or 10's on the sexy scale. This makes sense, the joint is called Ten's after all, and there needs to be some reason why I'm paying $10 for a Bud Light, My most recent trip there however only had 5 girls in rotation, and only 2 of them were 9's or 10's. However I only go once every 6 months on average and this may have just been an off night (though it was a Saturday night, the time I would've expected their hottest girls to come out.)
3. The Stripping:
The stripping has always been excellent in the past, it's one of the reasons I keep going there. You throw out a few $1's and the girls would come up to you and give you quite a show, maybe have you place the bill in her cleavage or even between her butt cheeks. Throw out more than 5 bills and the girl would give you (as in you personally) at least 2-3 minutes of her time, maybe put her boobs in your face, the stuff you would expect at a strip club. The last time I was there however (early March 2015) was much different. I would lay down 5-7 bills at a time (and other people in the same area as me would lay down about the same, give or take), and the girl would dance in the middle of the area for 2 minutes, then swipe all the bills and be on her way to the next area. Not even the people who were laying down 20's were getting special attention, and the entire 4 hours I was there I didn't see a single girl go over the counter to put her boobs in someone's face, no matter how much cash they were slapping down.
6. The Champagne Room
I finally decided to pony up the dough to hit the champagne room the last time I was at Tens. It's the first time I've been to the champagne room at any strip club so perhaps my pre-conceived notions of what it would be like have tainted this review, (but I don't believe so). First off, it costs $175 for 30 minutes, (I'm sure there's a discount if you buy a full hour but I didn't ask.) The next important thing that I noticed is that the "champagne room" isn't really a room so much as a couch with curtains on either side and (and this part really annoys me) IT'S NOT PRIVATE. The champagne rooms are up on the balcony, their side by side with curtains that separate them, but the side facing the first floor is left OPEN, so EVERYONE ON THE FIRST FLOOR CAN SEE YOU. I'm not sure if champagne rooms in other strip clubs are set up like this but this annoyed the hell out of me (in case that wasn't clear by my use of capitalization in the previous sentence). I'm no fool, I know that (barring some extraordinary circumstance or extraordinary cash flow) I'm not going to be banging any strippers in the champagne room. But I also understand how the male psyche works (being one myself). A large part of the enjoyment of a strip-club is the fantasy of what could happen. I didn't pay nearly $200 to go to the champagne room expecting that I was going to get a blow job from a sexy stripper, I paid $200 because my little brain thought that there's a SMALL CHANCE THAT I COULD get a blow-job from a sexy stripper. That's what keeps strip clubs in business, the male fantasy of what could happen. Nobody I know goes to a strip club excited to spend 200 dollar of their hard-earned money to see some tits and go home horny. I'm willing to bet that most guys (like me) go to a strip club because there's always that small chance that you might meet that horny, sexy stripper that you take back to your place later that night and bang the hell out of. If I'm spending nearly $200 for half an hour I would expect that Tens would want to keep that fantasy alive, which is impossible when every bouncer and customer on the first floor can see you. Maybe it's just me, but this is the shittiest setup for a champagne room I could possibly imagine. read more
