Delilah’s

I have never been here. I am from Detroit and live in Chicago. But your employee, Greg Lloyd has expressed his racism in the comment section of the Detroit Free Press. See my screen cap of his post in the photo section.

Hottest girls in the city hands down.

No big ten network at a gentleman’s club during football season? Pretty cheap. Just be aware all waitresses try to nickel and dime you. However, women are a step above regular clubs.

Staff was unprofessional. No where to sit or stand. The staff doesn’t even answer basic questions. Not sure what their problem was. Very disappointed. Waste of money, don’t even bother.

I’m giving this place 3 stars only because women cannot go into this establishment without a man. I think it’s a bit ridiculous because my girlfriends and I go to different strip clubs in and out and tip waitresses and dancers really well. I think it’s a bit biased, because I can tip and spend the same amount of money or more a man can. Some of the dancers here are very beautiful, others can look more plastic like a Barbie doll (most men here prefer that anyways). The good thing about Delilah’s is that their food is delicious. I’ve noticed that all strip clubs have really good food lol.

I’m in search of the little Indian dancer who used to work at show n tel, by the name of India. Last I heard she works here and is amazing. Shame about her man, but sweetie Kenny is right u don’t need a degree to take ur clothes off. What did u think was gonna happen Tammi baby when u screwed his friend? But I’m trying get some of that hot loving. Tell me, do I still need to bring the handkerchief???

Assaulted by the bouncer and denied entry because we were two females without a male escort. He wasn’t amused when I said prove I don’t have a dick. I guess my $$ is less green because I have a vagina.

Not enjoyable. I was harassed by Gia for not doing a dance. Maybe it was a bad day for them but I had came in with the intent to spend but left because the lineup wasn’t very attractive.

If I don’t have a guy with me I can’t come in? I was ready to spend just as much money as any guy and have a good time. It’s the 21^st century. I came as a consumer, and it’s quite closed minded to only let me in if I have a guy with me for every 2 girls? Are we still in college at a frat party? No. Open your minds up a bit. We’re here to consume too.

I don’t go for the girls they aren’t my type. I go for the food and atmosphere. The food is delicious. Nice place for a date.

Came by here and was refused entry with my friend because we are female. Had two male friends come join us and said they still wouldn’t allow us in because we are lesbians. What? Filing a civil complaint with Pennsylvania’s unified judicial system. Don’t go here.

Always have fun when I go. All the bartenders/​dancers/​massage girls are really nice. quick to get a drink and good atmosphere

The Low Down
Abbreviated in part from
: Delilah (meaning «[She who] weakened») is a character in the Hebrew bible, where she is the (woman) whom Samson loved, and who was his downfall. Her figure, one of several dangerous temptresses in the Hebrew bible, has become emblematic: «Samson loved Delilah, she betrayed him, and, what is worse, she did it for money…»
«She did it for money…» I honestly love this line, as it perfectly sums up pretty much every dancer at any gentlemen’s club PERIOD!
Location & Facilities — 4.5 Stars
Delilah’s is located at Spring Garden Street and Columbus Boulevard (formerly Delaware Avenue), extremely close to both Center City Philadelphia and Penn’s Landing. Only minutes from I-​95 and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, Delilah’s offers a large free parking lot for those coming from outside the area and taxi service for those in the area.
Staff — 4.5 Stars
I arrived at around 8:30pm and paid a $ 10.00 cover to enter, had my ID checked and went through the metal detector on my way in. The one thing that bothered me was that the cashier was too preoccupied with her smart phone to greet me and inform me of the cover charge. I immediately hit the men’s room, the only part of my experience at Delilah’s that really impressed me. Not only are there TV’s located directly above each urinals, but the bathroom attendant, Zaïre, ran a lint roller over my back and tucked a mint into my pocket as I washed my hands! I was greeted at the bar by the extremely friendly bartender Cheryl who informed me of the mostly domestic beer selections before showing me the menu.
Food and Drink — 3.5 Stars
In addition to a full bar with beer and champagne, Delilah’s extensive menu featured a heavily seafood-​inspired appetizer list, soups, salads, burgers, pasta, assorted entrees and steaks which are priced from $ 36.00 for an 8-​oz Filet to a $ 45.00 bone-​in rib eye as well as a couple of desserts. I decided to start my evening with an order of the country-​style wings, which were described to me as being like «fried chicken» but turned out to be just heavily breaded wings. For my main course I had the sea bass (flavorful but unnecessarily over-​buttered for my taste) with asparagus and wilted spinach for sides.
Dancers — 4 Stars
One of my biggest regrets of my trip to Delilah’s was not getting more dances, due in part to waiting for my dinner to arrive. While I was munching down on my wings, I was visited at the bar by Sydney, a very attractive Dominican beauty with curly blonde hair who quickly took to caressing her hands over me. As I was waiting for my main course, the lovely Asian dancer Nikky and the attractive Jamaican dancer Scarlett both kept me company with pleasant conversation. As I was finishing dinner, Renee, who caught my eye on stage with her amazing body and sexy long dark hair, came over to join me. After a few minutes of casual conversation we went into the couch dance room and I enjoyed two dances with her at $ 20.00 per song.
Value — 3 Stars
While the menu prices were reasonable for a self-​proclaimed «steak house,» the pricing for the Champagne Court is tricky and I’m still not quite sure I got all of the details correct: you purchase a bottle of Moët & Chandon White Star champagne for $ 180.00 which is good for up to 90 minutes in the Champagne Court and pay $ 160.00 to the dancer for a half hour (and can buy more time if desired). If you use your credit card you’ll pay an extra 20% for the dancer, in this case an extra $ 32.00. The Champagne Court is surprisingly lacking in privacy, not even providing a curtain for the spacious couch areas. For full privacy you can get a VIP room with curtain, which I didn’t partake of but was told that you’ll shell out a whopping $ 360 for the champagne (er, room fee) AND $ 400 for the dancer for a half hour.
Website & Social Media — 2 Stars
The website features standard club information such as location, lunch and happy hour specials and bachelor party packages but their Full Event Calendar on their Event page is simply a list of upcoming sporting and boxing events for September. There weren’t any themed club events (i.e Lingerie Night, Cigar Night, etc.) listed either. In addition to a full website, Delilah’s has Facebook and Twitter pages but I needed to call the club to find out their hours.
In Brief…
The «downfall» of Delilah’s is that, for a seemingly high-​end venue, the lack of quality and value compared to some of the other Philadelphia-​area clubs is subtle but still noticeable. While still a worthwhile addition to the Philadelphia-​area gentlemen’s club scene with its location, menu and dancing talent, with a little more effort this gentlemen’s club could be absolutely amazing.

Perfect place for a Californian guy like me to go in philly! Philly cheese steak so so good so how I expected it. There bread is really fresh and soft out here for some reason. :-)

Was not allowed in because I am a female. A friend of mine and I were asked if we had an «escort» and then denied entry. Our male friend went in first and had to «vouch» for us. Then got abrasively yelled at after several minutes once he decided we had a male escort? Because apparently we don’t live in America and females need companions before they are allowed entry. My friend and I are cute girls just trying to accompany our friend and spend some money.

Would not recommend if you want to just chill and look at attractive women. The bartenders had attitudes, the bouncers just looked miserable (and were miserable to talk to/​ask questions, ie, where’s the bathroom). I got a private dance and the girl was straight up gouging me, trying anything possible to get me to pay more money. Was not enjoyable, I just wanted a lap dance, I didn’t want to spend 10 minutes having her try to get me to another «more private» room which costs considerably more money. Just do your job.
Most of these other reviews were from a few years ago. Definitely has gone downhill.

Classic guys night out, pre-​game meet-​up, or pre-​afterhours way to kill the hour between closing hour of regular bars and the craziness of after-​hours.
The girls change from night to night and month to month, but generally speaking, their the highest caliper in Philadelphia.
Don’t forget that they are Zagat rated and the food is good too! The grilled and fried chicken fingers are off the menu but still served i f you ask.
Drink prices are average for any bar in Philly, no tricks here, you get a full pour. Bottle service is actually really reasonable as the bar service here isn’t there to make money off of your drinking only.

Totally legit! Always sketched out by trip clubs with food but I ordered the carbonara and my buddies had the cheese steak and wow we were surprised how good it was. Cover sucks at $ 15 but when is a cover ever fun? Drinks are standard expensive but not Vegas expensive. They sell smokes and cigars there, you can smoke inside too. They don’t have Sailor Jerry though… booo.

In the cab ride to Delilah’s:
Friend 1: You’re a sexist.
Me: Yeah, and we’re ALL going to Delilah’s.
Friend 2: Hey, you know how to get to Delilah’s.
Cabbie: Hell yeah I know how to get to Delilah’s!
Basically, this was the prelude to our night… a sign of good things to come. Went here the night of one of the Mayweather fights, and the cover was pricey, and all the dudes were decked out. Definitely resulted in a classy looking crowd (as classy as a crowd can get for a tittie-​bar anyway).
The girls are definitely nice to look at (most of them anyway) and they definitely put on a show. I gotta mention, their Russian girls (or Eastern European or whatever) run train on the Asian dudes; that is definitely not a complaint.

Some of ‘the girls’ worked here so on those random nights with nothing else to do, it was always fun to head down to a place that had free parking and was a guaranteed good time. With an enforced dress code, most people were usually on decent behavior. We’d have fun cheering on our friends, no trouble or hanky-​panky (sorry guys).
And I know you’re never supposed to eat at a buffet at a strip club (does topless count?) but this place is actually labeled as an actual ‘steakhouse’ where I’m told the food was actually very good (I never had any though). I should point out there was a happy-​hour buffet, but table service was done all day, by actual waitresses, so no dancers were in the kitchen. Fun fact: one girl told me they had their own (healthy) menu to order from upstairs in the dressing room. Yes, a strip club has a dressing room…
If you can attend one of their ‘events’, things can get pretty wild. The ‘Diamond G-​String’ competition featured some amazing entertainment with a bunch of talented dancers (real ones) brought in from outside to join up the regulars. It was fascinating seeing the guys up there also. I’m amazed by some of the dance ability, but I know everyone else was checking out other attributes… which those too, were in great form, of course…
This club still holds the bar high on what a strip club should be, at least from a ladies point of view. It’s simply the best not only in the city of Philadelphia, but I have to say after seeing gentleman’s clubs out in Nevada and California, they just don’t compare. I guess these other places seem to have that whole sleazy vibe which DOES make a strip club what it is, but this one just continues to still be a step above, for what it is.
Or maybe, I just don’t belong ;-)
