I want you to go to Controversy. I need to know how bad it is, but not bad enough to go.

It's been closed for over two years now.

It’s open, only Thursday-Sunday. While they didn’t open back up during Covid as soon as everywhere else, they’ve been open most of the time since then. I haven’t been since before Covid though, it seems to be even more urban than it was before.

Edit: LOL on the downvotes for “urban” being some racist trigger or something. Some of favorite dancers over the years have been black. Whenever I go to clubs (usually during the week) a very sizable percentage of the clientele is black and I have no problem with it. All of the clubs generally play 50-80% rap music unless the dancer specifically requests rock or something else. When I did used to go to Controversy there were times when I was the only white person there (not counting dancers or staff) and a had good times and never felt unsafe or unwelcome. The only color the dancers care about is green, and I can certainly respect that.

Does urban mean black people?

More that the club is more about throwing money, making it rain, being a giant communal party, etc vs talking one on one with a girl you like and spending money on her in private.

That is not what urban means and I suspect you know that. There is no stretch of the imagination that you can say that is what you meant by “urban”.

It’s always been a predominantly black club, and I’ve gone there in the past and had a good time. Perhaps after being up nearly 24 hours working my day job yesterday and driving Uber all night I didn’t find the best shorthand way to say from what I’ve heard it’s become more of a wannabe Atlanta style make it rain club. Fine, I’ll straight up say it’s more of a black club. But by that I mean the vibe is different, not so much ethnicity of the people there. In fact I know a few white dancers from other clubs who dance there 1 or 2 nights a week. Anyone who knows anything about strip clubs knows that being a “black club” had different connotations than just the makeup of the population.

It’s actually not that bad of a place. Never too busy, seating layout is pretty decent, drinks aren’t insanely expensive. Everyone was super nice the couple of times that I went.

That was years ago so ymmv.
