Last thing before we move on … The announcer was actually clear and you could easily make out the names of the girls coming to the stage. Worth noting that the ladies’ room has 3 stalls and both of us decided the bathrooms were clean and well-kept. Great if you’re a bisexual lady like The Gal here, but even so – my wife felt she was being a bit invasive to go to the bathroom. There are no attendants here (for better or worse) and the women’s bathroom is literally on the other side of the dancer’s dressing room (meaning you have to walk through it). One thing most reviews do not discuss are things like the bathrooms. That will likely be a turn off to some people but we appreciate diversity in all things. The music was quite diverse from pop to rock and a little hip-hop and you’ll hear songs from the 90s on up. This isn’t our picture and is definitely an older one as the tables do not have the neat marble looking lights. The main stage looks bigger due to a mirror behind, and you can see the bar to the far right, stage three to the right and stage two is off-camera to the left. The dancers start on the main stage, then move each song to Stage 2 and finally Stage 3. When we got there, only the main stage and “Stage 3” were open. here in Phoenix, there are three stages at Bourbon Street a main, larger stage and mini-stages on either end of the floor. The dancers seemed to hang out at the bar a lot (and we found out why later). The floor is very open and has about 30-40 tables (is there some place special that makes “strip club chairs”? I swear every club has the same couples-unfriendly seats – free advice? Figure out a table-friendly couples ‘love seat’) and the bar would probably accommodate 20-25 people. One wall is filled with six TVs (three flanking the left and right of the main stage) – playing various sports and television (The Gal and I prefer not to be distracted we love it when clubs have music videos and things that augment the dancers not pull your attention away from them) and most of the seating is designed to all face the same way. Going InsideĪs with most clubs, there is a large floor area and a bar. It is pretty well-lit and feels safe enough neither my wife nor I felt uncomfortable there. We saw no sketchy elements coming (about 7pm) or going (about midnight). Nothing wrong with that (after all, it is what is inside that you probably care about), but after seeing the presentation by Christie’s Cabaret? We may have been spoiled a bit. The club’s exteriors aren’t going to win any awards – there are no real aesthetics to speak of no theming or branding really to be had here. We were warned the area looks a bit seedy (and to be honest, it does). Google Maps looks like it wants you to turn off a side road to get into the parking lot, but both entrances are right off Thomas. Just off of the 51 in south Phoenix, Bourbon Street is pretty easy to get to. I was informed there were no packages, but VIP services were available. The woman at the other end of the phone was knowledgeable and friendly. They do appear to answer the phone outside of the actual club hours (at least they picked up my call at 10:00am). I called ahead asking about any sort of packages available and the hours the club tended to get busy. Since the Palomino is the standard by which we judge all the clubs we visit, it is only natural that we will compare and contrast based on what we consider the “couples gold standard” of strip clubs. We met another Phoenix couple at the Palomino Club in Vegas a few months ago and they gave this club a glowing review – so we decided to see for ourselves. A good thirty minutes from us at Thomas and 32nd Street is Bourbon Street. Between our trips to Las Vegas, The Gal and I like to check out some local talent here in Phoenix – but we have to be careful as we are both professionals and we need to keep our anonymity.
