I'm a regular customer of Swinging Richard's, and after reading some of the reviews, I felt some things needed clarification. The club caters to gay men, not women, and certainly not to bachelorettes. The women's restroom is one stall, and the men's has five urinals, two stalls, and an attendant. It should be apparent what clientelle the management want in there. There's a male strip club dedicated to women, and several of the dancers have moved from that club to dance at Richard's because they weren't making any money. There are times that I go in and the place is overflowing with women, and the DJ is insulting them, accusing them of not tipping. The point is to get the women to tip, or get out, but yet they still sit there.
I wouldn't go into a restaurant, or anywhere for that matter, without enough money to tip. The people that complain about the prices are ridiculous. News flash: every strip club charges for entry and parking fees (or valet). Generally speaking every club charges a high rate for a drink. That's how a club stays in business. Only difference being the Richard's drinks are strong as jet fuel, for the price of a watered down drink at a restaurant. The dancers and staff both work for tips, that is how they make a living. The dancers pay the club to work there, not the other way around. I often have a great night there for around $50, and that's including entry, parking, a couple of drinks, and tipping the dancers. It's not a concert; you don't pay at the door and expect a free show. If you go there with realistic expectations, you will not be disappointed. If you go in there thinking it'll be like a strip club you'd see on TV, then you're better off staying at home and watching it there.

This place is awful, My friend got busted by the cops there accused of solicitation. They are nothing but a big money scam club now. The dancers have crappy attitudes and they all cater to the straight fat chicks that have taken over. My friend went for a private dance in back and before he knew what had happened he was taken out and a cop outside arrested him, he did not solicit anything he just did not want to pay $400. Stay away from this place. It is not a good place at all. They are in with the cops, and they have a huge scam going on.

I heard about Richards several months ago and I finally decided to check it out. First of all the management was rude and had bad attitudes. The dancers were just as bad. The place was full of drunk straight women (OLD ONE'S) and the guys were not that hot. I wound up spending $200 on drinks and tips and had the worst time of my life. I got hassled by two dancers who called me a cheap skate because I tipped them $10. They didn't deserve $1.00 Then I got hassled by management over putting my arm around one of the dancers. Backroom dances are a rip off, and now I saw them toss out 2 or 3 guys for stupid reasons...not tipping and not buying enough drinks. They need to shut this club down.

Why can't you cows stay out of our clubs. This is a gay club and you aren't welcome. Go start your own club and leave us alone.

it was my first nite there, we were celebrating my farewell party out from the states. I'm a woman and i do realize its a gay strip bar, but it doesnt bother me at all. The price was okay , i mean hey.. u come to hav some fun then get ready to spend money too, dont be a scrooge. They totally deserve it. The dancers were all hot!! very friendly and they dance pretty good too. Some of the dancers they do dance really good!! Like a pro. I dont really pay attention to the "size", i was shy. Har. but my frenz told me they're med-huge size. Dont worry u wont find any cheetos size here. The dancers body was awesome!! a perfect 10 score! the bartender was nice, so do the front lady, they're proffessional. And what makes my nite more special was.. there's this dancer.. he's superrr cute. i personally think he's the cutest, hottest of em all (no kidding!) and he gave me a FREE private dance. That's a plus. the service overall was perfect!! Keep it up!!
oh.. and 1 more thing.. i do realize that most of the customers, they look a little uptight. The music was good and the dancers, they appreciate a dollar bill.
