Thee Dollhouse Lounge

Went here with a couple buddies for a after party, the «dancer» I paid $ 25 to told me I hadn’t paid for a $ 20 dance and I was thrown out of the club immediately. Super sketchy ladies working there.

I had always heard about this place and had the chance to visit. Note: the girls are not nude (pasties and thongs) but I just wanted a place to have a few beers, smoke a cigar, and look at beautiful women. Entire staff was great. I always try to tip every dancer when they are on stage and every girl stopped by to say thanks and talk. Not much pressure for lap dances, but available when you requested one.

As a former employee I would just like to refute all the people who say we hire only white girls… this is not true. Women of all colors, sizes, and lifestyles work here — honestly the BEST VARIETY IN TAMPA. Why?! Because we are selective and only choose the cream of the crop. We honestly hire almost every single woman of color or any other ethnicity who applies… we just don’t receive 80 a night or anything. If you aren’t interested in working here then we don’t go and SEEK you out or hold job fairs or something, get real. Girls who like our atmosphere apply and we hire literally all of them. Cute ones get night shifts and plain ones get day shifts. But if nobody other than white chicks come in on Amateur Night then guess what… we can’t hire them.

Without question, the best Gentlemen’s Club in Tampa in terms of drink prices, atmosphere, and women. Some of the «Gentlemen’s Clubs» (and I use that term loosely in the Bay Area leave with the feeling like you need to scrub the filth off you when you leave, but Thee Dollhouse has a sense of class about it. Most of The women there are not pushy about getting dances, and so long as you don’t act like a douche, will sit with you for awhile and just talk and hangout. Good cigar selection, too. A must see if you’re in the area and looking to spend some time with gorgeous women.

Living in Atlanta, strip clubs are aplenty. So, my boyfriend and I will visit one when we go out of town because we normally have fun when we go. This particular strip club is alright. The atmosphere is cool, but the girls all skinny.
They don’t get completely naked like they do in Atlanta. They have pasties or paint on their nipples and the don’t take off their bottles. They get touchy feely with the lap dances, but nothing over the top. They are really plain and basic.
My boyfriend ordered a drink. I believe he got a Long Island Iced Tea. He said it was watered down and wasn’t worth the $ 11.00 he paid for it (plus tip). I didn’t get anything because I couldn’t drink at the moment, even though, I wouldn’t have gotten anything after his drink debacle anyways. He ended up knocking it over LOL. I think it was purposely but who knows –hehe-​.
I wouldn’t recommend this place to visitors. There’s a Penthouse mag strip club down the street. Make sure you don’t wear any tank tops and have plenty of ones.

I am not usually on this side of town, but I was having anniversary dinner here and my bf decided to come into «Thee Dollhouse» and see what it was all about. This place was very classy and had a generally good and non seedy vibe. The drinks were great and the ladies were beautiful. I stayed there til close which is out of the ordinary for me, but that is testament to the level of fun I had. I have to admit, I dropped a lot of money here but it was well worth it. I will definitely be back in the future.

Don’t come here. Sure the girls are cute and the liquor is flowing but the strippers will straight up jack you. Had a friend pay for a lap dance and the stripper grabbed his wallet, grabbed all $ 180 out of it, then turned it into the DJ booth as a «lost» wallet. After talking to the manager he said that he was going to review the security cameras and then never came back. At closing security told us to leave and we said we were waiting for the manager to review the tapes. Five minutes later security came by and stated that it wasn’t visible on camera. Lies.

Love thee dollhouse, Tony is awesome and always makes us have a memorable experience. The girls are beautiful and polite not making you feel uncomfortable. This is a very female friendly club I love coming here with my guys!

B.e.s.t club in Tampa, girls are all super cute and nice. Bartenders/​servers are really attentive. Dj/​music is awesome.

*Dirty thirty*
I figured this would be a suitable 30^th review.
We came here as a group of eight for a bachelor party after gambling and dinner at the Hard Rock Casino. I’m sure about the other reviews, but I’ve never been a strip club that DIDN’T charge a cover. As far as I’m concerned, you gotta pay to play.
The interior was dark, obviously, with black walls. Typical strip club layout with a stage surrounded by tables and chairs. We got bottle service so we were placed in the VIP section away from the stage with the «nice» couches.
The service was exemplary. We had a (clothed) server who genuinely seemed to love her job and took great care of us. She kept a steady stream of girls coming over to chat with us and made sure no one had an empty drink.
Price wise it wasn’t too bad. $ 10 cover is pretty standard and $ 300 for the bottle. Split 8 ways, I think we saved money. But that’s not really why you come to a stripper club. ⁴⁄₅ really fun for a wild night out, either pre-​gaming or ending it.
Pro Tip: The ATM has a $ 10 fee attached to it, so make sure you go to the bank first.

I will start this off with the following statement: I have never once paid cover at a strip joint. Not in Orlando and not in Miami. Dollhouse? Doesn’t matter if you’re a chick, it’s $ 10 to get in. Fine. We already had the car valeted.
We (group of 5) were seated at a table and got some drink orders in. I’m not a drinker so this always makes me feel awkward because our cocktail waitress asked me several times. I get it, it’s their job, but still. So almost immediately we were approached by a really friendly and adorable (our table pretty much voted on this unanimously) dancer named Marilyn. She talked some of my friends into a lap-​dance and it looked like she did a stellar job. She hangs around a bit, chats with us, and then she takes her cue to do her two songs on the standalone pole near the bar. She did eventually come back for another lap-​dance though. You could tell she didn’t hate working the gig or have some kind of an attitude, which is always a plus.
It was really interesting to just… observe. Not like watching the girls do their thing but the attitude or energy. It was a mixed bag. Some of them were like Marilyn (friendly, they look happy, etc.) and then some of them were like zombies (no personality, looked like they hated their life, or some kind of elitist crap). Some of these girls have mad pole skills; I watched one of them walking on the ceiling and doing some other crazy tricks, so I had to go tip her and tell her she’s a badass and ask how she does it. Her response? «I’m a ninja!» accompanied with some pseudo kung fu move and a smiling face that would be the equivalent to this: ^_​^ … You can tell she’s one of the fun ones. She gave me a kiss and a few minutes later (when my attention was somewhere else) I felt someone jump on me… Surprise! It was the ninja. Playing with my boobs. And rubbing hers in my face. I died laughing and found myself covered in body glitter afterwards.
The other interesting thing to note here was the clientele. Over by the main stage (which oddly enough was boring in comparison to the lone pole near the bar), there was a group of people who were throwing balled up singles at dancers. It looked like the «leader» of the group (only because I don’t know how else to describe the vibe) was a super dressed down chick that spent half the night on her iPhone and the other half throwing money at dancers in the most nonchalant way ever. Part of me was entertained by her and her group alone.
So after a couple drinks, one of the girls in my group went to the bathroom and reported back with this overheard conversational gem between dancers:
dancer 1: Man it’s really weird out there tonight… There’s a lot of bitches out there
dancer 2: Yeah it is weird… But you know what? Those bitches tip us better!
And last but not least, I will say there was a decent variety of girls. It wasn’t all white girls with bleach blonde hair. There were also some black girls, an Asian or two, and some other exotic-​looking ladies (one of them looked Persian). Some of them did have flaws that I could see someone complaining about, but I wouldn’t call them all straight up ugly (though I went on a Saturday night so maybe the Wednesday line-​up is terrible?).
I had a fun time but I will definitely dock stars for cover charge for women (especially when the bitches tip better… and were ordering more expensive drinks… at least at our table), the mandatory valet (there’s no regular parking lot), and the super crammed table seating area (waitresses were constantly bumping to get around me, the dude’s seat behind me kept hitting mine when he got dances, and I had essentially zero legroom for the majority of the evening).

I wish I could only give a half a star-​but it won’t let me split the star in half. Sorry girls but y’all are ugly! It was depressing watching you try to dance-​so lazy maybe you should consider a good multi vitamin-​forget it you’ll still be ugly. Do not go here unless you seriously do not want to get turned on. Their sister club (The Pink Pony) is even worse-​especially because they are totally nude so you see even more of their ugliness)!! Go to Scores-​that place has gorgeous girls with serious talent!

Nice upscale strip club. The dancers were nice not my type The Dollhouse was lacking color lol. But for a nice safe time it is here.
