I was a dancer here in June 2022 and in 2023. Got fired #1 accused of leaving with a customer ( who was my boyfriend) at the time. #2. Wore a bottom adult GEM, girls accused me for taking it out on stage. I didnt know we couldnt wear those at all. Thats why I was let go . They didnt even come in like talk to me. So I had to call and find out if I could work there. I honestly would rather talk to the owner instead of the so-called managers there to find out if I can get my job back.

Owner is racist asf. Only yells at the hispanics if there not throwing money right away. Even tho there’s other individuals not throwing money because the girl on the stage is nasty at the time. Owner try’s to intimidate you and threatens to kick you out if you don’t throw cash. Only reason we throw cash is if the girl is sexy. Owner can do a better job at hiring girls not no redneck gas station girls. Don’t get me wrong there’s some sexy girls there keyword some. CeeCee and the 2 blondes are the best there. There’s another blond girl named Pixie. I threw some money at her cus she was good looking then when she put her legs on my shoulders and pulled me close I swear she smelled like pee. Was a very unpleasant smell as someone who’s trying to have a good time. Final review is owner is gonna try to intimidate you if you don’t throw money to the nasty girls and only 3 sexy girls there CeeCee and the 2 blonds I forgot there stage names but you’ll know what Im talking about when you see them. Again there another blonde named Pixie Im not talking about her aka piss girl.

I went here for my first time and it was lit! Of course, I wasnt able to always touch and I had to ask but I was still coo and grateful for my first experience.

It was the worst experience I have ever had at a club. Dont believe in the BS when they say you cant pay we had more than enough money to pay. The staff are on a high that you are not worth there time. Would not recommend it to anyone sorry you are a big disappointment. Will not be coming back ever. I was highly disappointed, I have been to a lot better clubs with better staff then this. You really need to take care and talk to your people about handling your clients.

I’m from Ontario and I’m ngl I loved it the girls were so sweet, the customers on the other hand were NOT gentlemen. It’s a strip club not t a brothel. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

Gonna give this a 5 star review based on my experience day before yesterday.Bouncers were nice, people that worked there were friendly and the dancers were extremely friendly. They didn’t get mad if you declined a dance and they also didn’t pressure you in for another after you got one.I had a couple dances and one girl definitely stood out for me. Shame I can’t remember her name but she was amazing. I do remember paisley tho, another great dancer and I hope everything works for ya!

Absolutely love this place!!! I come from Texas. Every time Im up here is have to stop in, the door girls are great by the way. Also the stage and club itself is amazing. All the negative reviews are from women. This is a gentlemans club. For men. Ive always felt welcome but at the same time I dont expect to get the same treatment as men for the simple point that Im not going to drop hundreds of dollars here. I do tip the girls on stage.

I was here on 3/8/2021. Walked in seen 3 girl sitting by the door. Not one said anything. Then one walk over offered me a private dance ( not exactly what I was wanting at the time). Then another. Not one dancer on stage. So I went to the entrance and said no one was danced yet 15 minutes into me being there. Then finally on your ladies got on stage and acted like I was a inconvenience to here . I sat at the stage and put a few dollars up and she still never removed anything. I am very disappointed. I had cash and paid $10.00 to see one dancer in 35 min of being there. As a man I am Sorry, but you lost my business.

This club has potential but if youre a dancer trying to work here look somewhere else. Their main clientele are college kids & also men who come in sit at the stage & wont tip also wont buy dances. This club used to not be like that but it went downhill. I dont understand guys who come in & wont tip or buy dances. & I dont mean tip $2 either. These ladies are not vending machines they make a living off of you. Support these girls....they also play to much hip hop and that attracts the wrong crowd & makes guys who would spend money not want to come in. Do not work here if youre trying to make money.

Honestly the strippers look ok at best they have a few good ones, but be real careful with your time when it comes to the private dances. They charge per song and wont stop unless you say some so they can overcharge at check out. I had told a stripper Id like 1 dance cause I was just curious about the back room. She talk to me at first was friendly let the song that was playing finish up then danced to the second one. She charged me for the first that was basically over when we got there.

Great club, atmosphere is awesome. Great music and the always lots to suit individual tastes. I’d recommend going on a night when Ally is working, she always takes care of her customers and makes sure that you have an amazing time.

They have some of the most beautiful women in Iowa working there. I felt very safe there, the bouncers were very pleasant, manager was on his game, and the special are great especially Monday and Tuesday. The best club to have a great time in in Des Moines hands down!!!

Review №15

Ive been here a few times and they were wonderful experiences but last night we took my friends who have never been to the club before. After saying this to the girl on stage, she and another took my friend for a private dance after he gave them 20$. After three songs, she told him that it was 40 a song and continued to the fourth. After that he said he really needed to come back and that was when they decided to charge him 320 for the time with them. None of us had that kind of money and they became very rude and bouncers started closing in when we tried arguing that they didnt tell him the right amount at the beginning. Needless to say we will NEVER be back.

Go there every 2 years when we head to the Farm Progress show. Always enjoy it. The girls are nice looking & the atmosphere is good. They always have my favorite brand of beer because you get to bring your own! I like that concept. The only bad thing is I spend too much money when Im there but thats my fault! See you in 3 weeks!

Review №17

Giving it a one star only because I can’t give a zero or negative one. Highly recommend going to beach girls. Now back to the review on lumberyard, Lady at the front desk is super nonchalantly rude. I don’t know how people can run a business without updating their website and get rid of the false advertising or even get a different phone in case needing to be reached. The inside of the club is terrible, I mean what even is that stage? And it’s so dark you can hardly see the palest girl. Just not a good club overall.

As you walk in, the ambience captures the essence of a S T R I P C L U B. Big booties, natural booties, lil booties. Beautiful women ALL Around, and they’re all so nice. Even nicer the more I tipped. The place is enormous, three level stage with a cascade like flow of beautiful women that are allowed to grappled you and almost choke you with their muscular legs. It was heaven and will be back CONSTANTLY

Went here for my 18th birthday in January. (Was tipping good ) . Some white girl got on stage and was basically sitting there so we stopped tipping then she started yelling at us . Another older gal pulled me on stage and took my pants off . Not a huge fan BUT the door girls were amazing and the security was nice . :)

Review №21

Extremely bad service after tipping over $500. the security guy on 03/02/2020 was being racist along with a girl working that night who didn’t want to tell us her name, asking “where are you from” before any type of interaction. Disgusting treatment from both the security and dancer, the other girls were nice though. If you can bare extremely bad racism just based on where you are from go there.

Review №22

My husband and I have been to trip clubs all over the country (Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois Florida, Texas, Nevada, New York) and have really tried to give the “lumber yard’s” a chance since we live in Iowa but after twice in Cedar Rapids and three times in Des Moines we need to say something. Absolutely avoid these places if you can! We always tip generously when no one else is and still can’t convince a stripper to give us a private dance at either club. Once at each place was an amateur night so those get a pass. Otherwise, not sure if it has to do with us being a couple (that didn’t stop them from taking me out to make a show on stage) but they will not come near you after they are one stage. I’m only giving this place one star because I can’t give it zero. It is not anything special no matter how much they advertise it is. We love strip clubs but will not be wasting our time (or money!) at any of these places again!

Review №23

Enjoyed an extravagant night out on my birthday where I was memorized in shock and awe watching these talented women spin and move from the top of the ceiling to the stage effortlessly. Only complaint is when they brought me on stage tied me up and performed degrading but humorous acts on me. Bad place to bring your kids for your birthday. Gyros outside great though

The girls are good looking and personable. $10 cover Mon-Thur, $15 other nights. They dont serve alcohol but you can bring your own. $25 for a dance.

Review №25

Extremely poor and disgusting customer service from both some of the dancers and security guy, on 03/02/2020. Go there if you wish to be treated so poorly after spending over $600. I definitely don’t recommend, they first need to hire people who know the definition of customer service, then maybe we would think about it. I’ll make sure to let everyone I know about my poor experience.

Review №26

This review is only getting two stars because of the potential it has, but for a Sunday night closing early just to get the girls dances instead of providing a show for paying customers. Walked in with two hours till close and was told by the dj last song for the night at 1:15... Ruined the night for friends and I, so instead we headed over to Beach Girls till 3am.

Review №27

So aside from the person at the front desk being rude both times I went, the dancers themselves seemed very unprofessional. The stages are so dark that you can barely see anything. On top of that, their website has outdated information regarding amateur night, which my friends and I drove 2 hours to attend. We would have called ahead to ask, but the phones dont work either so.

I went at about 2am Friday night/Saturday morning. The dancers were amazing and about three of them went to the top of the pole. Their calves were on point. Best muscle definition Ive seen in person ever.

Review №29

Most of the dancers were friendly, except one.She was extremely racist. She would ask where are you from, then judge from that if she would carry on the conversation, the security guy on 03/02/2020 was as much racist and disgusting customer service. Go there if you wish to be treated poorly like that after spending over $600
