best strip club in los angeles area!

by iw90024

super hot girls like leah, summer, victoria, also very friendly waitresses like larissa and fiona....

after getting in and buying the two drink minimum it ends up being only 20$ to get in, way better than silver reign which you have every girl in there (including dancers) pushing you to buy drinks the whole night....

also this place is conveniently located to a bar next door (trocadaros) making it a great location to go to after drinking (stays open till 4 am every night!)

  • Pros: hot girls, super friendly waitress
  • Cons: doesnt start getting busy/lively until after 11 30pm

Fittingly situated on the Sunset Strip, this totally nude bar is the longest running strip club in Los Angeles.

My Favorite

by Dan181920

Hands down the best strip club in LA :) I have been going there for a while and always have a good time. I have been all over the world and to many stip clubs. This is my favorite. There is really no dress code, they're pretty cool about that. I normally don't call there but I did one night and the girl was helpful on the phone. The location is great, I love the fact that it is on the sunset strip and has parking for everyone. Getting in is never a problem the people at the door arent stuck up, theyre nice. The waitresses are cool chicks. There are a lot of people there at night and a ton of people there on the weekends its almost like a huge LA party with hot chicks that show you love. And when you arent in the mood to be around so many people the daytime is good too. You can get what you want and go. And there is no cover charge and no one can possibly bother you. There is always plenty of girls there. More girls come the later it gets and the hotter they get! The dancers are all extremely gorgeous and friendly and very very very very gooood at everything they do:) girls girls gilrs :) Oh my god! they will take very good care of you. Great place!

  • Pros: great location, easy parking, gorgeous fun girls. 2 Thumbs up!

STAY AWAY! FAR AWAY!

by cyberclops

why would anyone want to go to aplace that doesn't answer their phones. I just wanted to ask dress code stuff. the first time i waited 5 minutes and no one answered. the second time i signed up for city search and typed this with one finger while waiting 10 minutes for someone to answer. I wouldn't take my time to p on their front door!

I left very angry and frustrated

by tyson_fredrickson

I went to the Body Shop in West Hollywood at 7:45pm on today, a Saturday night. The place had been open since noon and there were no other customers in the building. I made the mistake of entering thinking that I would have a chance to see some girls and get a lap dance. I was ushered inside and paid $20, $10 for cover, and $10 for two iced-down small glasses of orange juice. Immediately a Croatian girl tells me she wants to give me a lapdance, $30 for clothes on, $40 without, for 3 minutes. She wasn't really my type, so I decided to wait a while. Well guys, there was nothing to wait for. I waited for 40 minutes, there were no other customers, and no other dancers. There was no one on stage. I went and asked the manager "when is the club going to open?". This was my way of goading him into admitting that his club really had nothing to offer. I was told that if I sat down at the rail, a girl would dance for me. Well, it was the girl I had already turned down. This was easily the most frustrating experience I have ever had in a a strip club... absolutely no service, no action, no nothing. When I get to a strip club, I like do see about 10 dancers before I chose one that I really want to spend some time with. I never even came close to this opportunity. I spent $20, got two small watered down OJs, and had to pay $10 for valet parking. I got absolutely nothing but anger for my $30. I recommend that you stay away from this place. It's a complete waste of time. I'm chocking this one up as a complete loss. I've been to about 75 different strip clubs, this one is in the bottom 10%. Beware!

  • Pros: For this visit, there was nothing positive
  • Cons: No girls, no dancing, no service, it was a complete void.

If you want some good service, you wont find any here, WAY TOO EXPENSIVE

by zsportsfan

This place wasnt really good. 20$ for parking, 20$ cover charge, its a huge rip off. Then it is very packed, so it makes it hard to get a lapdance. To get a lapdance dont sit near the dancing area but stand up or sit against the wall. Strippers more preoccupied with dancing than with giving lapdances. Way too many Bachelor parties when i went, so they kept directing their attention to those guys. The place is sketchy since me and my friend are 18 and they didnt even check for ID's. Lapdance wasnt even that great, but she lets you touch anywhere except her boobies. The dancers dont pay attention to your tips unless you give them more than a few dollars. Also the service isnt that good.

The only positive i felt was all the strippers were good looking and none of them were ugly or dirty or anything and they let you touch them during the lapdance except for the boobies.

Just because its famous.

by tlc26

My friend from Europe came to visit LA - first time here. We drove around Hollywood on a Saturday evening to experience nightlife in LA. Hmmm - very sad compared to Europe, Australia or Asia. Anyways, we decided to go to The Body Shop strip club just because it's world famous. Well... the valet parking is outrageously expensive, so we parked a few blocks away. Once inside the club, it was packed, noisy and very dark. Girls were busy hustling and had little time to hang out and talk. There was no alcohol as CA state law says no alcohol allowed with fully undressed dancers ( topless dancer clubs alcohol is ok). Whats up with that! Do we have to go drink in the parking lot or what? The girls themselves were cool in general but saw no-one spectacular this night. We liked that there were couples and women as customers there and we liked the fireplace but we were not blown away by the club in general, other than we just wanted to say we have experienced a piece of Hollywood history. Perhaps our expectations are high after having experienced far more sophisticated establishments worldwide, but again, compared to London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo and Bangkok, LA nightlife has a very long way to go before becoming worth recommending to world travellers!

  • Pros: World famous location
  • Cons: Valet parking too expensive

If you are drunk enough to fall in to this place--good luck. Entertaining 2AM Desperation Destination.

by chadbennington

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!

by dctx70

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!?!

  • Pros: Good looking girls
  • Cons: Parking, cover cost, 2 drink min, NO ALCOHOL!

just plain awful..

by jinla

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...

  • Pros: some hot ladies, all nude, location
  • Cons: , bad attitudes, not worth the $$
