"Between our trips to Las Vegas, The Gal and I like to check some local talents here in Phoenix – but we need to be careful as we are both professionals and we need to keep our anonymity. A good 30 minutes from us on Thomas and 32nd Street is Bourbon Street. A few months ago we met another Phoenix couple at the Palomino Club in Vegas and gave this club a glowing overview – so we decided to see ourselves. Since the Palomino is the standard with which we judge all the clubs we attend, it is only natural that we compare and contrast, based on what we consider the “Couples Gold Standard” of Stripclubs. I called before, asked about any kind of packages available and the hours that the club was inclined to be busy. They seem to answer the phone outside the actual club hours (at least they picked up my call at 10:00. The woman at the other end of the phone was knowledgeable and friendly. I was informed that there were no packages, but VIP services were available. More later. Location and parking Directly at 51 in South Phoenix, Bourbon Street is quite easy to reach. Google Maps looks like you want to turn off a side street to get into the parking lot, but both entrances are directly from Thomas. We were warned that the area looks a bit fun (and to be honest, it does. The exteriors of the club will not win any awards – there is no real aesthetic to speak; have no topics or branding really here. Nothing is wrong with it (after all, what is it about you, but after the presentation of Christie's Cabaret? Maybe we spoiled something. Parking is free and abundant. We did not see any sketchy elements coming (about 7 o'clock or going (about midnight). It is pretty well lit and feels safe enough; neither my wife nor I felt uncomfortable there. As with most clubs there is a large floor and a bar. A wall is filled with six TVs (three flanks left and right of the main stage – various sports and television games (The Gal and I do not prefer to be distracted; we love it when clubs have music videos and things that embrace the dancers; do not draw your attention away from them and most of the seats are equally designed at all glances. The floor is very open and has about 30-40 tables (is there something special, which makes “Stab Club chairs”? I swear, every club has the same pairless seats – free advice? Check out a table-friendly couple “love seat” and the bar would probably accommodate 20-25 people. Similar to Alaska Bush Co. here in Phoenix, there are three stages in Bourbon Street; a main, larger stage and mini stages on each end of the floor. When we arrived there, only the main stage and "Stage 3" were open. The dancers begin on the main stage, then move each song on stage 2 and finally stage 3. The music was very diverse; from pop to rock and some hip hop and you will hear songs from the 90s. This will probably be a shutdown for some people, but we appreciate the diversity in all things. One thing most reviews do not discuss are things like the bathrooms. There are no participants here (for better or worse and the women's bath is literally on the other side of the dancer dressing room (i.e. you have to go through). Great if you are a bisexual lady like The Gal here, but also so – my wife felt that she was a bit invasive to go to the bathroom. Remarkable that the ladies room has 3 stands and both of us decided that the bathrooms were clean and well maintained.
