The Factory Gentlemen’s Club

It was a lot of money made in this club, but the club was ghetto like cowboys use to be. You had ever class of dancers in this club, and you also had every class of customers in this club. Unfortunately, black dancers can’t get into every Gentlemen’s Club like white women can. So for the black men that like black women they had to come to a black club that had black dancers.
Some of the dancers were school girls, some of the dancers had regular jobs & we’re hard working women. Some of the dancers were classy, & some of the dancers we’re trashy. Some of the dancers we’re ghetto rough women, & some of the dancers we’re evil. Usually In black clubs weight doesn’t matter.
The dancers can be really skinny or really plus size. The dancers that make the most in the black club are usually chunky dancers, but sometimes thin dancers can make a lot too if they look like beyonce, but even though I was on the skinny side, and I wasn’t lightskin I still did well at this club. To bad my cousin seen me dancing, and made me quit.
He didn’t want his friends thinking negative things about me

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST. I came here to celebrate a friends birthday. When I get here I have two choices for parking. $ 30 to park in the back with gravel or $ 50 to park on the side and front. I was by myself so I paid the cheaper parking spot. So I ask the guy who assisted parking about my small leather blazer and having foldable shoes in my purse. He said it was fine. I wait in line. Once I get to the bouncer I was told to throw my shoes away or take them back to the car. (Mind you it was a lil walk in the first place and I’m not standing in line again) bye shoes. I’m in the doors (yay). I had to pay $ 30 for cover. Then once I’m at the double doors they were like coat check. I just had it. It’s not even a damn coat. I told them give me my money back and I’m leaving. I had it at this point I’m out of $ 60 and a pair of shoes before seeing the inside of this place. Plus not to mention money that I planned to spend in there. It was the principle. They gave me the cover money back, but not parking. I’m out $ 30 bucks. Never again will I be back. It’s better places that don’t nickel and dime you out there.

Sometimes it’s a few people who hold together an establishment. This is an amateur hour of strip clubs. First, you got to keep the hot girls there. I didn’t see any. Second, the cover charges are just stupid. That’s all.

Okkkkk… Soooo, I decided to charter a party bus to The Factory from Michigan for my birthday. I had heard wonderful things about the club. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! Although I stayed in contact with the club promoter weeks before my initial party, I MIGHT AS WELL HADNT TALKED TO NOBODY because we were treated as such! We get to the club and was greeted by BIG ASS DUDES who seemed to be PMSing and were cramping bad! They said we couldnt wear hats. fine, took them back to the bus. We get back he says, NO OPEN BOTTLES… so again. back to the bus. Finally get back and was frisked by the BIGGEST BITCH EVER (that prolly had hair on her back may I add). I get in the club, these clowns talking bout $ 40, when the promoter told me $ 15 no more than $ 20. I had 16 ppl with me. you do the math. They were charging the guys $ 60. So we get in and it smells like catfish and taco powder, it was over crowded… my shoes stuck to the gummy ass carpet. dudes grabbing random girls asses (LIGHT WEIGHT RAPIST)…everybody running around in a circle… outta da 50 chicks there it was only 2 worth looking at. I felt like my safety was being compromised. IT WAS A COMPLETE CIRCUS!!! We didnt even stay in the club longer than an hour before we were back on the party bus. DO NOT GO TO THIS GHETTO ASS… SEAFOOD & TACO BELL SMELLING. STD GATHERING SPOT. ITS BAD FAH YA HEALTH!!! #IwishIcouldPress0stars.cuz yall establishment SUX!

WTF was I thinking!
I haven’t been to a strip club since 2006 and this experience made me remember why.
A friend’s bday had passed and he mentioned that he liked strip clubs so I decided to return to one after a 6 year hiatus.
First off there is a $ 20 parking fee which is mad ridiculous and then I walked into a $ 30 cover…30 minutes later my friend paid $ 40 to get in. After paying $ 50 and not seeing a naked ass yet, I was told there is a mandatory $ 3 coat check fee… WTF!!! I told the coat girl that they are running the biggest scam in town.
We walked inside the joint only to see more women spectating (which I’m not a fan of) than guys… not to mention the strippers were unattractive… the waitresses were more scantily clad! This joint is byob so everyone was walking around with a bottle of something in their hand… Diddy’s Ciroc Vodka and Patron seemed to be the drink of choice for most.
I think its a travesty for what they charge in this joint! Again, $ 53 was outta my pockets before I saw any flesh and by the way, out of 45 mins of being there I only saw two nipples…
At least the door guy told me and my buddy to have a nice evening as we walked out…
Never again!!!

Disclaimer: I came here for my sister’s birthday on November 5, 2011 — but I wrote this review directly after:
This star comes from sheer entertainment of the crowd and the look of the place.
I drive past this place all the time ~ always thought «I going to check them out.» Well the day finally came ~ my little sis planned to have her 26^th Birthday bash there.
I was told to get here fairly early cause prices go up tremendously. Note that 10pm must have been too late.
There was a $ 20-​$ 30 charge for parking in their gravel, uneven, mud pit. How they determine the difference between $ 20 and $ 30? ~ only the crackhead looking guy that directs you knows that bit of info. All parking is paid ~ so we pay the $ 30 thinking this puts us close to the entrance… no…my feet in those 4inch heels walking on uneven ground dodging mud pits begged to differ.
We finally get to the line and I tell my feet it is okay they are safe now. But only if I knew my pockets were now in danger.
The cover for myself and my husband ~ $ 70!
Little Sister ~ oh how I love you ~ this would have been my que to get out of this place… but I told my pockets they were safe. I’m not going to put them through that torment again. I told them they were going to be okay ~ no money on drinks ~ cause the Factory is a BYOB. My pockets were wounded and not so easily to forgive.
We we finally walked in $ 100 dollars lighter our breath was taken away… yes the place is cute ~ but the air quality is awful!
Now I love me a good strip joint ~ and my husband is somewhat of a connoisseur… but this place is the bottom of the line when it comes to tittie bars. I feel a little sorry for the girls cause they are not making any money ~ besides the exorbitant fees to enter:
~ the girls on stage are not doing anything spectacular
~ no full nudity
~ some of them were quite thin
~ and some of them were quite fat
~ the girls walking around had on as much clothes as the chicks on stage… my hubby thought this was a plus ~ because usually a great tipper at the club ~ he vowed he would not pay a dollar more in this establishment.
That last statement is easier said then done when BYOB is only and just that ~a bottle and nothing else ~ not even the bag it came in~ so… :
— cups (little clear plastic ones) $ 1
— ice buckets (like the little hotel size) $ 5
— juice (½ liter) $ 5
— water (just regular size) $ 3
We needed only 3 things someplace to keep our tequila and beer cool ~ and cups ~ $ 7.
The DJ was cool ~ there was no real dance floor ~ so folks kept walking in circles.
There was a smoking area which they had roped off so it was quite small with a lot of people ~ I wonder if some weaves went up in flames out there?
The thing about this type of BYOB ~ you don’t drink it you must leave it. By the later hours, this fact made for some dark entertainment:
~ people puking were they stand
~ people passed out in corners
~ people being carried out by security.
I wondered where they were taking the victims of alcohol poisoning…
I found out:
They dumped the males out behind the place — just laid them outside… still don’t know what happened to the multiple chicks
All this to say what I can sum up in one word:
Overrated

This was the worst gentlemen’s club I have ever been to. And I have been to A LOT of them… The girls were disgusting. We paid $ 20 for Valet (mandatory), and $ 30 for entry. These other reviews must have been written by the club promoters. Horrible experience.

Im still trying to figure out what the HELL you people are thinking. Are we talking about the same place? First things first, what club is free but theres a mandatory $ 10 parking fee and mandatory 2 drink JUICE minimum and charges money for a petty ass bucket of ice? Ok… I guess thats no biggie… anywho I went in on a monday night expecting beautiful bitches everywhere and a nice sexy enviroment. Instead I walk into a Block party at the Players club, I see a mother of 6, recovering alcohlics, and sticks on stilts. I felt like I was in a Lil Jon video. For a huge club like this which is very nice and sexually decorated I expected magic. And DEFINATELY a better selection of ladies. I cant lie though, I saw a few diamonds in the rough and some Big asses. But besides the BYOB rule and 5 out of 100 bad bitches… eh I think I’ll pass

I love the byob, the girls are smokin, and the club is spectacular. Suites are great prices and you get what you pay for better than any other club in Chicago-​land.

Yep. Good times.
So, my GF and my 3 BBF’s went and had a killer time. Good music, the girls were friendly (until the young ghetto boys with $$ got there), and it’s BYOB. So what the small carafe was $ 10 for fruit juice — shame on any man who complains about that. Or for a $ 5 pitcher of ice. Bring beer next time, Tramps.
The bathroom was CLEAN. We got the tour and I was satisfied with what I saw (private room, hot tub, VIP, shower).
There is Ladies Nite on Wed (oh yeah). So I will be back.

I love THE FACTORY! Great club for girls and guys! Love the music, too!
First of all, it’s BYOB! I love that! My girlfriends and I bought a bottle of vodka and was set for the night! So much cheaper then paying for drinks at the bar! They also have awesome food and a friendly staff, which is rare!
Secondly the girls are HOT!!! There were all types but all beautiful. I got several private dances and trust me, they were great and reasonably priced ;-P
Finally, It’s aesthetically pleasing with beautiful modern décor. They have two rooms and lots of VIP space! It’s a large, beautiful club with the perfect layout. Did I mention they have rooms with showers where you can watch girls dance? Where else can you see that?!
There is a jacuzzi outside too! I’ve never been to a gentlemen’s club like this. I can’t wait to go back!!!

I wish I could give the place three and a half. It is BYOB (bring your on booze) and they serve no alcohol. I went on a Saturday and it was dead from 8pm til 12pm. Another downside you HAVE to buy buckets of ice to keep your liquor cold (5 bucks a bucket).The place is huge but only six girls were in there. Step it up factory!!!

This place sucks. I took some friends on a strip club crawl for my wife’s bday and this was supposed to be the last stop. I printed the 50% off coupon from their website and called to see if I needed to make copies for each of my guest in an attempt to preserve some trees. The owner tells me that I would be cool but when I get their they start tripping. The raspy-​voiced old lady at the front, Gina, gets smart with me. She say’s «you seem intelligent» and tries to read from the coupon as to imply that I should be able to read. Before she can finish, I tell her don’t worry about it, me and my party will all leave and you can get NONE of our money. They must have needed it desperately seeing as how the club seemed VERY empty for a Saturday night… in comparison to SKYBOX which was packed with plenty of dancers. Today I found out their was an attempted robbery and the club was shot up moments after we left. Thank God they were ignorant and didn’t know how to treat customers and we all got out safely.
Amazing…

This club is huge, it should be a nightclub and I’m glad to hear it’s finally going in that direction. I hope they do with this business what was done with Club 2000 years ago in Charlotte, N.C. A nightclub linked with two strip clubs for men and women. Factory’s biggest set back is location and lack of transportation for those without. It can be seen off the expressway but isn’t easily found once you exit. A few signs on the road would help.
If you’re an Internet sleuth you can score passes online, otherwise cover is typically $ 15-​$ 20, I believe there was a mandatory valet cost which was minimal. Good to know there is some kind of security in the lot. This club blows many others off the beaten path with their stylish décor, helpful staff and clubby atmosphere; that is until you’ve been seated. I hope it’s gained more popularity since our visit some time ago. Ladies are lovely and seems to have moved here with the publicity; from neighboring clubs. Some staff has travelled from as far as Milwaukee and Michigan just for the opportunity to dance at a mega club. The club is a dry bar, so you have to bring your own. It is hard to find any liquor sales nearby and you’ll have to drive a great distance for that, so plan ahead otherwise you’ll be stuck with a cost of $ 20 for a carafe of juice!
Most ladies are welcoming with a decent stage presence and receptive in welcoming you to their club. Many of their entertainers are reflective of the types of nationalities found in Chicago. Please, please, don’t be cheap ass. If you want company at your table let yourself be heard via decent tips. Tip the stages, your waitresses, etc. The night I stopped in only one of two dance areas were in use. A single long stage with a length close to a basketball court with around three poles with two entertainers dancing at a time, encircled with seats. Dances were approximately $ 35 per song or 3 for $ 100 if you went for the best of dances, $ 25 for the regular. There are other options like shower dances or watching your entertainer in a Jacuzzi. If you plan on staying awhile, want info on having a party or just want to see it all, ask for a tour. Management is willing to show off a bit. Right now it’s a decent club and with some work, more popularity and a thriving night club scene added in, it could be an awesome time in the future. But with staunch competition like Scores, PoleKatz and Industrial strip it’s going to have to do a lot more to distinguish itself from the rest. I know that our group was thoroughly annoyed with their pricing on everything from dances to beverages for mixing with our booze. Currently I’ve heard their club scene happens on Thursday nights with Latin music and topless dancers.

Should do well as a nightclub and If the do this, I hope the owners do it right. Girls are so-​so. Mostly women from other clubs. Some 10s, some downright hood chicks with the tudes’, tatts and tramp stamps. Some bi strippers also. Customers are mostly local peoples, lots of bi and lesbian women too. Seeing lesbians flock to a strip bar in groups is new to me, anywayz.
Here are the charges: $ 6 valet. $ 20 cover (go online and Google them, you can get half price passes and free ones too)
Dances:
Table dance: Didn’t know they offered these, not sure if I trust Jade J.
Lap dance: $ 25 each song. (Gaurd stands nearby)
Lap dance: $ 35 each song or 3 for $ 100. (This is a more private room, no monitoring. They have to be monitoring with cameras, but, you don’t have to look at a security gaurds ugly mug)
Shower: $ 100, in 15 or 30 minute shows. (You just watch)
Jacuzzi: $ 100, in 15 or 30 minute shows. (You just watch)
Whyz the hell would I pay money to watch a chick wash herself or sit in a jacuzzi. For real? Ph – k that.
Since its BYOB, I’m tellin ya you need to bring beer with you. We did the dumbest shit, brought in whiskey. They said they would give us mixers. Cool. Then we got the bill and it said, $ 20 for a small pitcher of cranberry juice. Damn. And then, thats $ 40 dollars total cuz we got 2. Plus for ice you got to buy it for $ 5 dollars.
I get it, they don’t have their own booze so they gotta get theirs any way they can. But damn, chill on them prices.
Girls are really nice and will come over and say hello. They got some gorgeous black women, one chick lookin like Beyonce. Some of the latinas are stuck up, but that is usual around these parts. They only dance for their latin homiez.
