The Coliseum

If you have ever read any of my reviews concerning gentleman’s clubs then you know they really aren’t my stomping grounds unless it’s within my particular aesthetic. With this place the space is pretty smooth, there’s a huge center stage and a bunch of strip stages. What drew me to the place was the fact I can smoke my cigar here. They have a somewhat secluded upstairs area where you can sit and enjoy a smoke. So obviously I sat there. When it comes to downstairs, keep in mind I went on a busy weekend day, you have to pay for a booth. They have a full bar and food menu though I didn’t eat because eating in the strip joint just isn’t my schtick. The servers were good considering how busy it was, I was asked if I needed anything on several occassions. There was a waitress name Tiffany and a shot girl named Lori who stood out in particular as they seemed to check on us even more frequently than the others, they even sat to chat and rest there feet for a moment.
The girls seemed okay I guess, its a club with predominantly black dancers so that was a good change of pace. They were after the bread so I really didn’t interact with any of them but they seemed accomadating to the crowd. I would definitely go back due to the service and space but if you want to know about the girls you’ll have to check another post because as oddly as it may sound I wasn’t really there for them.

kinda liked it

Had a really good time. Food was good and fresh. Bouncers really cool especially for not breaking our phones for taking pics. Waitress really awesome for being honest about a hundred dollar bill mistake. Because she was honest we tipped her 150 for a 250 bill. Finally about the Dancers 75% looked good had different variety even Asian’s. I hate when a whore acts like her shit don’t stink and that’s why she didn’t get jack shit. Most of strippers very nice and pleasent. Not cheap for sure but overall I would definitely go back.

This is probably the best gentleman’s establishment on 8 mile. The food is pretty good, make sure you know the specials before you come in. I heard they got bought out by the people who own the Penthouse, hopefully they dont start jacking all the prices.

Wow Jeffery R. Girls over a hundred pounds are fatties? You sound like a broke ass. I’d be taking what I could get, even at the booty club, if I were you. You’re sitting by the stage, complaining about coat check prices and want a super-​model type? Lol. Anyways… Yes, decent place as the others say. There are lots of women. All types. Except tens. None of that type. At least not this night. The bathroom attendant isn’t annoying like at some places. It’s tacky, but not more than expected. The booths are nice and private. It’s enjoyable to watch the guys making super serious faces while they speak to the dancers. Lol. Like, really serious faces. I don’t come here to eat, but I know the food is good. Actually most clubs like this have decent food, if you like eating at a loud club. ;-)

This club won’t allow women in unless you have a male friend with you. I won’t support any business, private or not, that discriminates in any way.

OK i was invited here to watch an amateur UFC cage fight…
Fantastic !!
Once the festivities got started, it was nice…
Very big in the inside. Exclusive menu, and Wine options.
I ordered the Grilled Swordfish it came on top of sauteed spinach, garlic, onions and portabella mushrooms, with red beans and rice and corn on the cob… The fish and spinach was excellent I’m watching my weight so did not eat the rice nor the corn so i cant tell you how that part was…
The entertainment was pretty cool, the girls here seem more into body building, no flabby patties here lol if that’s your thing… But their dancing capabilities were not all of that but were not bad, I’ve seen bad!!!
The drinks were kinda watered down. I prob had about 7 – 10 drinks including shots and was barley buzzing. I’m usually a 2 drink max so i know it was the drinks .
As far as the fight goes, it was awesome!!! The commentator was extra funny! keeping the crowd in-​gaged.
The fighters were pretty entertaining i almost wanted to place a side bet on a few of the fights.
Some of the fights went 3 rounds. most of them only last 1 lol at like 60 seconds people were tapping out rather fast!.. but all in all very entertaining.
But i would def come back here. It was a cool diverse crowd.
will drink before i get here tho lol
Oh yea its a bit on the pricey side so come with at least a stack if you plan to eat and drink merrily! :o)

Whoever says that Disney World is the ‘greatest place on earth’ clearly hasn’t been to the Coliseum. I accidentally found this place after JonJon’s went bad. It was risky, I had been to one or two of these places on 8 Mile and I braced myself for the worst.
I pull my car into the parking lot and things already look bad. It is next door to a junkyard. A junkyard on 8 Mile of all places — this was classic! Then the mandatory valet. This is something I am fine with if I know that I like the joint, but I’m already squeamish. I go inside and and I am hit with coat-​check, cover and the now all-​too-​common up-​charge for a booth. Now keep in mind, up to this point I haven’t seen a single titty. I feel like I’m being taken for a ride.
Then the bouncer pulls back the curtain and I am welcomed into paradise.
First of all the place is bigger than it looks from outside. Not huge either, it’s just right. Stage for three down the center flanked on either side by a separate, full bar. Double balconies on either end for up to four private parties. Personally, I have never seen these used. The furnishings are lavish without being gaudy. The chairs near the stage turn out to be surprisingly comfortable; they’re downright cozy. I couldn’t believe how many girls were there, at least twenty — it could have been as high as thirty-​five. They were everywhere!
Drinks were moderately priced (for a strip-​club) at about $ 7 – 8 for a Blue Moon. Sometimes I get the orange wedge, sometimes not. They have a full kitchen which I reluctantly tried and ended up loving. I expected a truck-​stop egg salad sandwich and in stead I got one of the best steaks I have ever eaten It was the $ 10 special to boot. I would return to this place for the food alone.
Luckily for me they have more than just food. I eventually ended up realizing they have two more dancer poles, one off to each side. After 9:00 on busy nights they have five or six dancers on stage at once. I appreciate that everyone has their own opinion about what is sexy. While I like the ‘walking-​stick’ super-​model look, I understand that many do not share my opinion. Fear not, there were more fatties (girls over 100 pounds) than I care to think about, but some of them turned out to be pretty hot too. All kidding aside, this place obviously has the pick of the litter with girls, good luck finding better.
The website says they have a helipad, but I never saw it. I have been here 4 or 5 times now and each time I leave feeling like I just won the lottery, even though my wallet has just been scooped clean. One day I am certain I will forget to keep enough aside for valet. If I do… If ever you see a guy getting on the 8 Mile bus smiling ear-​to-​ear say ‘hello’ it might be me.

I like this place better than the majority of the clubs on 8 mile, but the inside is almost kind of dirty. Or a more accurate description would be — I felt like I was on the set of that terrible Flinstones Movie they made in the 90’s. The private rooms are small and — not so private. And the booths are drab and uncomfortable. Not very swanky for all the hype that I’ve heard. I would recommend it over many others, but it isn’t as ‘fab’ as you may think. As far as the girls go– they run along the same lines as the other clubs– no one legged strippers, but no Gisele Bundchens either.

Okay, I’m following female reviewers of adult entertainment again. I figured I did the Penthouse Club review. I might as well do this one too. I think that The Coliseum and The Penthouse Club are really the only such establishments on 8 Mile worth reviewing, but that’s just me.
Nicole T. seems to know all about the stats and the physical plant. For me, the place is a bit cheesy. I mean, come on. Why is the place done in this Egyptian motif when the name is Roman? Silly. I do have to echo Nicole T.‘s comment that the service is good. The food, what little I had, was pretty good. I just had one of those nearly ubiquitous steak tip appetizers with a dancer once. I imagine she got a commission or something for that.
The dancers are generally attractive, but I give the edge to The Penthouse Club’s dancers. Of course, that’s all subjective. It’s been a while. So, things may have changed, but from the reviews that precede mine here, it seems that the dancers are still quite attractive. The private dance area, when I was there last, was a separate area at the end of the main room. Curtains hid the little dance areas.
One time I was there, it was for a friend’s bachelor party. His friends reserved one of the sky boxes. From there, one could have a nice birds-​eye view of the place. One need not worry that the dancers are far away, for they come and visit you up in the box.
It goes without saying that you’re going to need some money to play. Just know what you’re getting into. A friend of mine didn’t, and he got a dose of sticker shock after all those lap dances added up for him. Oops.

I’ve proudly been to the Coliseum both times I’ve visited Detroit. This place literally has a helipad. I have no idea who uses it, but for those of us who are in town, staying in hotels and w/​o a rental car, flying a helicopter sounds like a much better idea than trying to catch a cab on 8 Mile after the club closes. I’ve been there before: not fun.
Whatever your mode of transportation is, you will definitely have a great time here. The girls are hot and service is great.
