Pink Monkey

The 1 star reviews are all legit. Everything they say is true $ 30 cover & 2 forced sodas as they don’t have a liquor license so that means they can be fully nude but they aren’t, just topless dancers with a full nude cover & then another money grab on cheap soda.
The staff treats you like crap on top of all of that. I wouldn’t be surprised if there up to no good & a front for other illegal activities.
I would guess the only 4 & 5 star reviews are from employees, dancers, or friends/​relatives. Perhaps a couple are legit but they must have been written by naïve virgins who never seen teets before in person & had graduation or bat mitzvah $ to burn.

Worst doorman ever. Went with the wife last night. Showed half off email from ultimate strip club list. Doorman wouldn’t honor stated he wish they wouldn’t do stuff like that because they didn’t authorize it? Yeah right. He was the worst ever. By comparison. Left there and made a beeline for Polkatz in Bridgeview. Doorman and staff were awesome. They welcomed the $ 400 we spent on drinks and Dancers. How do you make any money with Bouncers/​Doorman like that. Maybe he should go to Polkatz and see how they treat their customers. Like invited guest. Even went as far to thank us for coming on the way out. This guy acted like he was more interested in keeping people out than getting the in. Complete waste of our time.

We spent some time and some money at this place. All of a sudden security told us we had to go. Idiots have lost on some money.

This place sucks… I wish I could rate it –5 stars. Went here to celebrate a buddies bachelor party (all of us traveled from out of state). Was told at the door to go around the corner for the booze (no beer allowed, only liquor). That bar is a joke… $ 50 a pint… yes you read that right FIFTY BUCKS… then hit with a $ 30 cover… then upstairs your swarmed by less than average looking girls, distracting you from the onstage entertainment (if that’s what you wanna call it), offering $ 30 lap dances or for a steal of a deal, you can go to the «VIP lounge» for 30 minutes for a mere $ 350…you can guess what goes on there, right? To top it off you have to buy two $ 8 8oz sodas… yup $ 1 an ounce for coca cola! All told we cut our losses and spent less than 10 minutes in this brothel and left. This is not a strip club, it’s a whore house. Don’t go.

Overpriced and odd arrangement of stage. Claims to be BYOB but mandatory soda and juice purchases.
Worst part is attitude of staff. We talking to table next to us and bouncer came over and asked us not to talk to the tables around us as it is distracting to the dancers on the stage. Only one dancer at a time with long breaks in between. Most horrible strip club experience of her if I could give zero stars I would

Sad place… girls pay to work. Byob is only from next door and is 50 to 100 dollars a bottle. More security than girls and chips on shoulders. Management does not keep track of big spenders and you will pay for any attention. Some girls are beautiful. Some need to beat it. Slow nights are painful. Girls will forward anything but please for a buck… All have sad stories
Not going back.

I have been bringing customers to the pink monkey for some time now. I am a limousine Owner. When customers inquire about a Strip Club near the Chicago loop, I always refer them, to the pink monkey However, this past Saturday night, I brought two Customers there to have a Good time, and I only wish I had taken them Somewhere else. The big bouncer Guy, Met me at the Door with a very Bad Disposition, Very Disrespectful and tried, his best to intimate me. i am a senior citizen, half his Weight, and half his SIZE. We had a verbal Conversation, in which he did not represent the pink Monkey at all. He has No Regard for Management, or Supervisor or the person in Charge. From that Day, Forward, I will advise all of my Co — worker’s and Limousine Owners to take their passengers to an Respectful, operation. FOR THIS NEGATIVE IN COUNTER, LIMOUSINE FAMILY PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR CUSTOMERS THERE. THIS PLACE GETS 85 0’S POINTS.

So, came in here maybe a total of 3 times and it was always «Ive experienced better». They have pretty girls here but they are so stuck up and up their own a****. I mean come on, its a strip club and these girls should be approaching customers. Instead they were all lined up by the bar talking amongst themselves. These strippers should know that its not time to hang out with your buddy, its time to approach clients and make them happy.
The private VIP dances are better but WAY overpriced. I mean my car note is cheaper than a private dance and i drive a luxury 2015. Would I come here by choice again? Probably not, and if my friends drag me in here i will keep all my dollars to myself.

Disappointing adventure here. High prices coupled with a strange positioning of the stage with subpar talent leaves me recommending peeps to pass on this establishment. I recommend the Admiral or Heavenly Bodies for better talent and a better overall experience.

Everyone who says this is the «best strips club in chicago» was paid off. $ 30 to get in with a two drink min. Drinks are $ 11 for a soda. It claims to be BYOB but it’s champagne only.

I wanted to expense the Chicago scene. After paying. 60 for me and my buddy to enter the club, the manager Michael say me in the back of an empty club. When I inquired if I could sit closer to the show, I was met with profanities and tension. Additionally a preludecent bouncer told me to sit the «fuck» down or get the «fuck» out. I calmly asserted that I was a patron after paying 60 to enter I simply wanted a closer seat. Anyways… To make a long story short, the employees of this establishment fail to recognize that the patrons pay their wages… Needless to say I will not return. Warnings to future patrons.

This place is a joke. Yes, I am bitter at the moment but I am not writing this because of that. I am writing this because Unilocal is a strong universal voice and is powerful information. We had a very classy successful group of guys (6 total) visiting from LA and NY. I read about this place and decided it was the best/​closest place to go after a nice dinner for our buddies bachelor party. We got to the venue at 1:30am. Nobody was waiting outside and the door guy told us we needed to wait and said he didn’t know how long it would be. As a respectable man and club owner myself, I said please tell me how long it will be and that we were visiting, and if it was gonna be a while we would leave as our time is limited. He got offended and rebutted, sputtering and seemingly nervous asking who I thought I was questioning him. If he knew any business ethics, I wasn’t questioning him however, we just needed an answer as too how long it would be as it was already late and we wanted to make the most out of our short stay in Chicago. So I stick by my review that this door guy was a joke and lost his owner business and should be fired. Perfect example of little dick syndrome and ego tough guy. We ended up better off and spent our money at another venue till 4am. So thank you door man at Pinkmonkey… loser –5 stars

Place sucks. Bouncers act like monkeys and can’t give responses for themselves. Stupid policies involving not able to join your friends at other tables. Friend was thrown out for being at another persons table. Overall people Are rude. Not worth 30 dollar cover in any way shape or form. Will never ever be back here. Not worth anyone’s time or money. Worse place I’ve ever been. Tried to call into the hotline and was immediately hung up immediately several times. Terrible service, terrible policies, terrible establishing. Overall horrible experience

Not a fan of this type of place

What what in the … The strippers were lazy except a 35 year old ambitious go get it stripper. You dance teo songs than disappear behind a curtain. Girls are afraid to talk to customers. Went on a friday night. 30 dollar entry fee. You have to buy 2 soft drinks that are worth 8 – 10 $ a piece. I wouldnt recommend this for anyone who has been to real strip clubs go to another place i beg you or just log onto pornhub.

If there is less than one star that will be the real rate for them.
Unrespectful at all.
Too expensive.
Small place with bad services

Ahhh, yes… Pink Monkey, where to begin…750 S Clinton in Chi-​town Windy City…
$ 30 cover (yes, thirty) to enter a very industrial-​looking and ordinarily decorated venue.
Must check coat/​bags (okay, that’s pretty much the norm) no problem there.
Two drink minimum (huh?) and I repeat two DRINK minimum, not soda pop or «beverage» min… stated as in alcohol, two DRINK minimum.
Climb up two full staircases with landing.
«Thomas» the bouncer meets and greets you after you’ve hauled your ass up two full flights of stairs and announces that the club DOES NOT SERVE ALCOHOL!!! WTF?
You say, and I quote, it’s a «two DRINK minimum» and you DON“T SERVE ALCOHOL? NOT EVEN BEER? CHEAP-​ASS WINE? NOTHING???
So your options are to NOT DRINK, serve your two drink sentence with a soda (at $ 8.80 a pop, and I didn’t mean that as a pun) plus tip,
OR
Haul your miserable ass down the stairs, go next door to the local bar/​carry-​out, pay for your shit, haul it back up those two full effing flights of stairs and then buy your two bottles of mixer (at $ 8.80 a pop) and sit back and enjoy the show.
Frankly, I was so pizzed at being told at the top of the stairs what I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD before I was charged $ 30 (!!!) AND told «two DRINK minimum» and MISLED into thinking there were actually «drinks» upstairs that I got cranky… real cranky.
So when the first stripper came over to do what strippers do I complained to her and she promptly got up and told me either lump it or leave it.
Great customer service, huh? The icing on one-​eyed-​conniving Ivan’s cake.
I have been to some pretty nice clubs in NYC, New Orleans, Philly, Atlanta, Miami and so on and NEVER been as abused as a customer as I was by management at this joint.
The only thing good I can say about it is the girls (after the bitch who first sat down and then told me to go pound sand and left) were moderately attractive, friendly and unhurried.
BUT that is the only thing good about this RIP OFF club that gives the whole industry a black eye; and I told the 3 or 4 ladies that I liked that their place of employment was a rip-​off and to find somewhere they could actually make some money, because there are places out there that do operate ethically and with decent service and give patrons a reason to become their regulars.
To sum it up: RIPOFF management, okay girls, NO ALCOHOL (but they don’t tell you that up front), ordinary venue and did I forget two DRINK minimum?
I will never be back, thank you very much.
AVOID

Horrible. Please dnt waste your time. They should really close this place down and convert it to something useful. Like a food store.
The women in here aren’t appealing in the slightest. Majority of them sit by the bar all night and just scope the area. I stayed in here for 15 mins and the only we stayed this long is because I had to use the bathroom.
If you decide to go to a strip club in Chicago, it’s no reason at all to go here. Call your gf up and let her strip for you. You will thank me

Ahhhh… Yes!
I came here the first time actually based on a Unilocal review and in my opinion, it’s one of the best strip clubs in the city. First off, it’s fun for groups. Some of the other clubs are so skeezy and so full of lonely guys that it feels more like an adult jerk-​off theater than a strip club. I have been here with my significant other many times and also a bunch of times with large, mixed gender groups, and we always have fun.
The bar is BYOB and they will charge you a pretty penny for mixers, but it’s still cheaper than buying cocktails (as long as you don’t blow your wad on the ladies!). Word of warning; buy your liquor before you get to the neighborhood. The club is in a dark and deserted part of town and there is no liquor store nearby. If you take a cab and end up here without your liquor, your only option will be to go to the bar next door. The bar next door (I forget the name) is making a killing off the naïve fellows who wander in not knowing the Pink Monkey is BYOB. Last time I made this mistake, I paid $ 40 for a regular sized bottle of Smirnoff, and my friend paid $ 50 for a bottle of red wine that costs $ 7 bucks at the store. She just had to have wine… ouch.
Having said all that, if you don’t BYOB, there is still a two drink per person minimum so you will have to buy a soda or energy drink, etc.
Saving the best for last, there is a dancer in a French Maid outfit who gives massages for $ 30 bucks. Part massage, part lap dance, pure bliss. She is not gorgeous but is pretty, very sexy, and a good dancer… and a good masseuse! I’ve gotten a dance-​massage from her each time I’ve been in.
The girls here are very pretty and often very athletic, so be prepared to see some gravity-​defying pole moves. All in all, a great place to go if you’ve got some money to burn and want a few vicarious thrills!

We got a little bored of the regular weekend routine. Pink Money came up in casual conversation, while day drinking no less, and later that evening we find ourselves in a cab down to south Clinton for some adult entertainment. We rolled in a bit early around 10:30, which was a mistake, because they smelled fresh blood in the water.
I don’t need to go into much detail so a rundown will have to suffice.
+ $ 30 cover
+ BYOB, NO beers, and unopened bottles only
+ All individual mixers are $ 8…this is where they get ya!
+ $ 30 dances (yikes) for one song
+ VIP sessions by the quarter hour starting at 300-something…and I stopped listening after I heard that number
+ Security is not overbearing but keep things in order (i.e. bouncing drunk bros)
+ Don’t be afraid to offer the ladies a drink they can accept
The talent was surprisingly above average. Don’t show up till at least midnight. It’s okay to say no to a dance because it’s not worth the $ 30. Overall it was a good time if you’re looking for something different to do. Don’t take this place too serious and remember you can be whoever you want because you know her real name isn’t RJ.
