BYOB gentlemans clubs...

[Pastore]

So I'm probably going to hit one up this weekend, and have never been to a BYOB club. Do people literally just walk in with coolers? Is glass allowed? What are the general rules of thumbs, or does it totally depend on the venue? Specifically, would a metal flask not be allowed? Let me know your experiences.

wow.. never heard of a byob strip joint..

whats next.. bring your own strippers?

 

[ShotgunSteven]

From the rest of the title, I was wondering if the second "B" in "BYOB" stood for "Broad."

I've always hated that term for women. Anyone know the history behind it?

You can bring what ever you want. I have been to BYOB places in TX and philly. In philly there were guys that brought in a pony keg. If you bring liquor they will ask if you want a "set up." Some places will "take care" of your beverages, too. But bring whatever the hell you want. Honestly.

BTW, the only BYOB places i have been to are all-nude. Enjoy!

What does the "set up" and "take care" refer to? Do they have employees that play waitress for you?

I think it largely depends on the establishment. I've never been to a BYOB club myself, but I've heard that some will allow just about anything, whereas others are a bit more strict.

Full Nude joints are usualyl BYOB.

Yes. Some places require you to "check in" your beverages and the girl will deliver them upon request (or you have to go to the bar yourself). What state is this in? A "set up" is what ever you may need to make mixed drinks, chill your beer, etc. Dont be afraid to deny the "set up." If you bring liquor you may want it, but if its just beer all they do is bring over a small tub of ice. Its perfectly acceptable to show up with a sixer and sit down and crack one (but just in texas, in philly the "check in" was required). Again, though these rules were different for the two states (TX and PA).

Upstate New York, i.e. not the city where I'm pretty sure the laws are different than other parts.

It has to do with the laws and if theyre licensed to sell alcohol. Some places will take your own drinks and keep them behind a counter and then charge you to pour your own alcohol for you. Its kind of dumb, but its sort of a loop hole or work around for places that are unable to be licensed to sell alcohol.

broad
O.E. brad, from P.Gmc. *braithaz (cf. O.Fris. bred, O.N. brei?r, Du. breed, Ger. breit, Goth. brou?s), of unknown origin. Not found outside Gmc. languages. Slang extension to meaning "woman" (1911) may be suggestive of broad hips, but it also may trace to Amer.Eng. abroadwife, for a woman away from her husband, often a slave. Earliest use suggests immorality or coarse, low-class women. Because of this negative association, and the rise of women in athletics, the track and field broad jump was changed to the long jump c. 1967. Broadside (nautical), 1591, "the side of a ship above the water, between the bow and the quarter." Broadcast, originally "scattering seed" (1767), applied to radio waves 1921. Broadsword is O.E. brad swurd. There was a street named Broadway in many towns; the allusive use for "New York theater district" is first recorded 1881.

Not really. Just depends on where you live. There are five or six full nude places that serve around me.

 

[vi edit]

When a buddy of mine turned 21 we took him to one of the BYOB joints. We had a huge (like 20 gallon) bucket that was bright pink. We filled it with snow and had it stuffed with cans of beer and hauled it into the club.

We got lots of comments on the beer tote

For bachelor parties it's not uncommon to load up 20 gallon coolers full of beer (cans only) and haul them into the clubs around here.

Any club I've been in is cans of beer only. No hard booze, not bottles.

Went to a place in TN once upon a time that was BYOB only. However, you HAD to surrender it at the door, and it was expected that you tip your waitress to bring it to you. I'm sure if you didn't tip, your beer/alcohol would disappear somewhere .

 

[Cruisin1]

Do they charge you a fee for bringing your own liqour? This is crazy unheard of for Californian. Man I'd be at the strip club EVERY day if this was possible in Cali...

 

[PhlashFoto]

AFAIK, it is illegal to have a BOYB into a gentlemen's club in Massachusetts. There was a place a few years back that was shut down a few weeks after they started offering BOYB since it was only a juice bar and was denied the alcohol license. If I find the news article to it, I'll link it.

If you show up with the right bottle, you're getting laid.
Do not, and I warn you, do not, bring BEER!

After reading the replies, it seems some places don't allow anything other than beer?

Sooooo, it's kinda like having a wife except instead of tipping with pieces of your sanity you're tipping with cash.

The BYOB places here in Dallas the "set up" is cups and ice. The last time we went, which was several years ago, we brought 3 20 gal. coolers full of beer and hard alcohol. When we left the coolers were empty. Our little group was where all the girls were hanging out and dancing around. Ahh, the memories.
