Wish we hadn't bothered
My wife and I were visiting family in Atlanta for Thanksgiving and were looking for a strip joint to go to. We wanted to try Follies due to the decidedly positive feedback here on Citysearch. We realized our mistake pretty quickly, but not before wasting $5 on valet(before tip), $10 each on door fees, $13.50 on a rum and coke and domestic beer(before tip). Our bad experience started with the rude bouncer at the front door. No class whatsoever. After being frisked, we entered the club and realized that we had made a mistake. While we can atest to the fact that there were plenty of girls working, they were far from "the most attractive, exotic and classy representation of Atlanta women anywhere!" as described on their website, they were average at best . We both finished our one drink and left.....using their phone book on the way out to find another place to go to. We ended up at The Cheetah Lounge and wished we hadn't wasted our time at Follies. The Cheetah was far more classy and upscale, and the women were much more attractive as well. If you are looking for a low class place to hang out with the hoodlums while looking at okay women, then Follies is for you. Different strokes......We just didn't want others like us to waste their time or money at Follies based solely on the reviews here.
