Browns

Long story short: I paid on card on this place and got a call from Barclays the next day saying that a bunch of fraudulent transactions had been attempted on my bank card.
I don’t have any real evidence to say that somebody at the club cloned my card, and if I’m wrong I’m wrong — I just can’t think of anywhere else I could have used my card recently that could have got my details. It seems like an awful coincidence.
Probably best to only pay by cash — They’ve got a minimum card payment of £20 for some reason anyway.
Apart from that the place seemed quite cool, if you’re into that kind of thing. Nudity for £1, what’s not to like?

I’m not sure I’d describe Browns as a night club but I would definitely describe it as a strip club, which it is. It’s not so bad if you’re passing though; there’s a girl on stage every 15 minutes or so and you put a pound into a pint glass every so often. Drinks are cheaper than many places around Shoreditch and women are more than welcome too.

I’m not really a strip club kind of guy, but you have to check these things out nevertheless. A few friends and I popped into Browns for a beverage and the sight of some booty.
It was free to get in but we were warned that we had to sort out the ladies whenever they came by, stated the burly doorman.
The set-​up is quite dark but no different than any other late night bar. The main focus is a large stage with a pole. Every ten minutes a different girl gets on the stage and does her thing. Towards the end of each girls dance other girls come around with a glass and expect you to put money in it. I get the impression if you don’t put money in, you’ll get turfed out. You only have to drop in a pound so it isn’t too expensive.
There are a few guys that get right into the shows and plonk themselves right in front of the stage. Personally I wasn’t enthralled. The girls do not seem to enjoy dancing and this shows. As an ex-​dancer (not pole) myself, I look for passion when someone moves. It isn’t surprising that passion was lacking. It easy to gain a private dance in the back that cost my friend £30 as the girls come and offer, or you can wave a lady over that you like.
On the whole the girls are very attractive.
Browns is ok. The drinks aren’t too expensive, but it is a £20 minimum if you want to pay by card.
