A few clarifications

by fes80

I'm a regular customer of Swinging Richard's, and after reading some of the reviews, I felt some things needed clarification. The club caters to gay men, not women, and certainly not to bachelorettes. The women's restroom is one stall, and the men's has five urinals, two stalls, and an attendant. It should be apparent what clientelle the management want in there. There's a male strip club dedicated to women, and several of the dancers have moved from that club to dance at Richard's because they weren't making any money. There are times that I go in and the place is overflowing with women, and the DJ is insulting them, accusing them of not tipping. The point is to get the women to tip, or get out, but yet they still sit there.

I wouldn't go into a restaurant, or anywhere for that matter, without enough money to tip. The people that complain about the prices are ridiculous. News flash: every strip club charges for entry and parking fees (or valet). Generally speaking every club charges a high rate for a drink. That's how a club stays in business. Only difference being the Richard's drinks are strong as jet fuel, for the price of a watered down drink at a restaurant. The dancers and staff both work for tips, that is how they make a living. The dancers pay the club to work there, not the other way around. I often have a great night there for around $50, and that's including entry, parking, a couple of drinks, and tipping the dancers. It's not a concert; you don't pay at the door and expect a free show. If you go there with realistic expectations, you will not be disappointed. If you go in there thinking it'll be like a strip club you'd see on TV, then you're better off staying at home and watching it there.

Awesome Club - Definately Go if you want to see some hot dancers and have a great night

by atldude32

I read the 2 bad reviews, but I have been several times and each and everytime, I had a blast. The dancers are very friendly and the bartenders, well they make awesome drinks. While there are some straight women that do go, the club is always a majority of gay men. And did I mention the dancers are hot. It is definately worth the trip. KIck back and go to one of the best gay male strip clubs not only in GA, but the US!!!

As for the review about how much the dancer asked for in VIP, it is up to the Dancer not Richards. Always ask the dancer up front what he charges for VIP.

• Pros: Very Friendly and hot dancers
• Cons: none

STAY AWAY FROM SWINGING RICHARDS

by scruffyboy

I heard about Richards several months ago and I finally decided to check it out. First of all the management was rude and had bad attitudes. The dancers were just as bad. The place was full of drunk straight women (OLD ONE'S) and the guys were not that hot. I wound up spending $200 on drinks and tips and had the worst time of my life. I got hassled by two dancers who called me a cheap skate because I tipped them $10. They didn't deserve $1.00 Then I got hassled by management over putting my arm around one of the dancers. Backroom dances are a rip off, and now I saw them toss out 2 or 3 guys for stupid reasons...not tipping and not buying enough drinks. They need to shut this club down.

• Pros: I can not think of anything good to say
• Cons: high priced, rude employees, terrible atmosphere
