I also stoped going at Strip Club since i discovered the MTL scene of escorts. I see no point of paying minimum 5$ entry fee, 10$ or so doorman, 10$ or not far from it for beer and then i didn't got a single dance and im already 25$ down the drain.. put 20$ the dance... you spend 100$ in a matter of 30 min or so in the club... and you got nothing exept boobs touching.
At this price an escort is well worth it. I even calculated... if you pay 10$ per song in a strip club... she will cost you the same price as an escort(200$) for an hour.... its crazy huh? So i rather add te hotel and get my beer at the depaneur, then call an escort.
As for the business, yeah these days there is so much more agencies, much more girls, much more choices, so i get that many they on there side have a feeling business is down, but for us the customers its excellent.
