If you are drunk enough to fall in to this place--good luck. Entertaining 2AM Desperation Destination.. A girl who is a friend of mine (hi, T) and I stumbled into this place at 2AM after every other bar closed. Hard to imagine a $20 cover and no drinks and somehow at 2AM we were dumb enough to head on it. And, we managed to drag a couple of wild party-people from the street and the prior bar (we were in) to go with us. Nobody wants to go home ever at 2AM, so we stumble into this place. By this point, you probably feel like we're idiots and our review is not worthy, but if you are reading a review of a late-nite L.A. strip club, I hope you can cut us some slack. We're regular midwestern party people. Anyhow, we sat down and put $1s in front of myself and the girl I was with as well as 3 new friends. The dancer avoided our side of the table since a drunk guy was dropping $5 bills on the other side of the table. At the end of the dance, the dancer grabs all of the money on all sides of the table. If they money is out anywhere on any table--including change by my drink--she grabbed it. Upon saying "hey, you did not dance for any of us," the angry dancer (angry clearly at something more than this one comment) instructed us that we did NOT know strip club etiquette and that ALL money out was entitled legally (huh?) to her. I said that did not seem fair--so she took all the $1s and $5s she had and threw them in the air and said "you can keep it all." This is a Tuesday night, quiet night mind you. It was part entertaining and part surreal--but I guess that is what to expect. We complained to our non-alcohol serving bartender (huh?) and she apologized. Fortunately, no one took the dancers thrown stack of $1s and the next dancer gathered them up. Wonder if she gave them to the prior dancer? I love L.A.

So, if you like odd experiences with unusual dancers and no alcohol and odd etiquette-- this is the place.

I would rate it an Entertaining 2AM Desperation Destination. However, that's still only a 2.5 out of 10. Sorry.

PS SKYBAR NEARBY IS AWESOME UPSCALE BAR!!!!

Complete waste of money!. In LA on business, The Body Shop was recommended by a waiter... he said it was a 7 out of 10... I think he was either drunk or just doesn't know better. We went on a Tuesday night (big mistake for almost any club), but hey... we were there on business. There were some good looking girls, but like the other reviewers, we were hounded for dances and when we did cave it cost $30 for practically NOTHING! I think we will do our research on the next trip. As for me, I say save your time and money! There are MUCH better clubs around. Hey LA, what is up with $20 cover, & NO ALCOHOL? What the hell is the cover for!?!

just plain awful... after partying all night celebrating my buddies 25th birthday we all decided the best way to celebrate would be to go to what we thought would be a hot strip club on sunset thinkng its gotta be crazy and the ladies gotta be hot...

what a mistake, if i wanted this much attitude from ladies i would rather stay home with mine and if i wanted to negotiate a business deal, which it feels like with the pushy women that not ask but harrass you for dances, i'd stay at work.

forget about just chillin with friends watching some ladies dance and then picking one or two for dances, that doesn't happen here. all business, no fun, never again...

No big deal just good location.. Living in LA it was weird that it took so many years to end up at this establishment. It was overpriced and there was NO SHOW!

you had to get a table dance or wach the dancers beg everyone to get a private dance.

Forget it!!! Spearmint Rhino is so much better!!!!

So are many other clubs. I prefer crazy Girls over this even if the girls are not as hot at least that place is jumping!

No Body shop... WOW all the hype and the place did not live up to it. If you go here be ready for little to no action till well after 10:00 on a week day. If you dont mind paying 20.00 bucks to get in and then 10.00 for your first 2 (Waters) then you will love this place.... For the first 30 min I was there, there was no one dancing. I payed 20.00 to look at a empty stage.
