Historically speaking, Milwaukee has not been considered a strong strip club town.
Though it may never be considered on par with places like Tampa, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas or Las Vegas, Brew City has stepped up its game in terms of gentlemen's clubs.
There are more places. There are nicer places. And, some of the more strict rules seem to have eased a little bit, which is hardly surprising in an era when students at high school dances have to be warned about "grinding."
This year marks the first time OnMilwaukee.com included strip clubs in the annual readers' survey. The winner, by a substantial margin, was Silk Exotic, 11400 W. Silver Spring Dr.
Silk, located in the building that once housed the Attic West nightclub, offers a variety of nightly specials and an array of entertainers in what is described as a Las Vegas-style atmosphere.
The owners, who also operate a location in Juneau, talked about opening a sister club, Satin, at 117 W. Pittsburgh Ave.
Franklin's On the Border finished second among readers, just ahead of venerable Art's Performing Center. OnMilwaukee.com editors selected Crazy Horse, 9440 W. National Ave., as their pick. The club, formerly known as Heartbreakers, has undergone extensive renovations and is attracting a steady stream of customers to West Allis.
