King of Diamonds — Restaurant in Inver Grove Heights

10/10 and 5⭐ across the board, truly!

I've been to 4 gentlemen's clubs in my life (3 in MN and 1 in WI), with KoD being the 4th. Been coming in since January this year about bi-weekly to monthly, sometimes more, and have never had a single bad experience there! Always leave there with a cheesing smile 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼

Dancers: I would give 100/10 if I could, no lie 🤣 I've met and chatted with many kind women, at the end of the day dancing is a job and a dancer is a human; not their job and I genuinely enjoy checking in on how they're doing lately and catching up! ❤️ Vanity is by far my favorite dancer and would recommend anyone to have a chat and dance with her (you won't forget it! ✨), Cherry is very fun to talk to as well! Kendall's makeup art and dancing skills always amaze me too! Between day and night shift, and some dancers that do a combo of both to a degree, KoD has quite an expensive rotating roster for being not a small club at all but more on the medium size I'd say. (It's one of those interiors that looks and feels roomier inside though)

Bouncers: Honestly very kind and give a down-to-earth vibe, and they do their jobs extremely well. Very rarely do I notice any disturbance but the bouncers are quick to deescalate and escort if needed, to where you most likely wouldn't notice a disturbance before it really happens. Be a respectful patron/customer and everyone's happy! Bouncers keep a vigilant eye but the better everyone behaves, the better experience for all. That being said, KoD's policies on keeping the peace are effective! (Side note: IGH PD has a good subtle presence around the club, in my opinion it does feel like it adds another layer of security for everyone all around from patrons to staff to dancers)

Bartenders/Waitresses: Very efficient in the flow of ordering & serving and friendly! I also enjoy helping out a little bit here and there to lift some of the weight off the bouncers & waitresses for glasses & bottle cleanup, to me it's no big thing to grab some things on my way back to the bar or lining up chairs to keep walkways more open for patrons & dancers so I like to think of it as a little way of giving back for an establishment that always leaves you with smiles & memorable nights!

Bar Selection + Prices : I enjoy liquor/spirits but more often drink a variety of beer, particularly tap if available and KoD always has something interesting on tap! Actually got put on to one of my new favorite beers now from it being served in rotation, Grain Belt Blu 🫐🍻 Having more experience ordering beer, I think the prices are fair/good considering the selection and quality. (Cover charge is $10/person, if you happen to come in before 5pm there's no cover charge and I believe the daily happy hour beer sales run until 5:30pm? Can't complain there 👍🏼👌🏼) (KoD also offers coffee for purchase, & of course water should you want to perk up a bit and rehydrate ☕)

Atmosphere: I love the colored changing lights! Having autism, visual stimuli is very mesmerizing to me so sometimes I catch myself looking just at the lights alone! Or if colors of what I'm wearing glow in reaction to the UV lights 🤣

Transport: I tend to use either Uber or Lyft when going to KoD as I don't live too far away but still to be safe, otherwise my fiancée will be my DD. Price-wise is a little skewed lower for me though since I live a lot closer to the club. I have seen signs in the club though that staff will help you figure out a way to get home safely should you need assistance, I can't speak on what that's like but I think that's a great resource to have available, because no one wants anyone to get hurt or in trouble. Gotta stay safe to be able to have fun!

Cleanliness: For all areas that I've seen/been in (main floor, smoking patio, men's bathroom, VIP back room), everything is well-tended to, have never felt uncomfortable about hygiene standards in the club.

As an artist/craftsman, KoD I have a project in the works for you as thanks for giving so many fun nights and memories! ❤️ *PS: Go for the...

edited in response to owner BOUNCER MUGGED ME, MANAGER AND OWNER LIED TO POLICE. Cops said they have problems like that all the time. Place is ran by criminals. *We never refused payment at any point in time. I approached the dancer, gave her the $10 upfront for one dance and sent her over to my buddy. He had never had a dance and doesn't know how it works. Evidently she ended up giving him two dances. I told him at the begining of the night he wouldnt have to pay for anything. He saw me give the dancer money ahead of time and thought she was hitting him up for a tip or something. At a any place with class the dancer would approach the older guy who's buying before getting the bouncer. When I was approached by a very confrontational, short, bald bouncer, I offered a $100 bill as payment within a minute or two of the conversation starting. The bouncer and dancer both rudely refused to get me change and instead of handling the situation professionally your bouncer decided to grab me by my shirt and try dragging me towards the door. When I removed his scrawny arm from my shirt by simply grabbing him by the wrist he accused me of attacking him. As I stood in disbelief as to how this was being handled, the bouncer GRABBED MY WALLET OUT OF MY HANDS, STOLE $100 DOLLARS FROM IT AND RAN TOWARDS THE DOOR. I was mugged by your staff, and at least two members of your staff are criminals for lying to the police after WE called them on you. The police asked for you to release video footage seeing as you have cameras all over the place but your manager refused. The police might not be able to do much about the crimes you commit but that doesn't mean you have a "great working relationship" with them and we all know this stuff happens on a regular basis at your establishment.

Btw aren't you the same "honest, ethical and professional" KOD in inver grove that got busted for millions in tax evasion like...

Wow. It's been here a long time but this really is a gem when it comes to strip clubs!! Definitely worth the trip to the 'Burbs! Friendly staff, And the girls? Super hot! (Ryder is drop dead gorgeous!) And they are NOT pushy when it comes to dances. (which at $10 you can't go wrong) Plus, the girls will actually TALK to you!

I actually got a chance to talk to the owner too. And she was also genuinely very nice and really wants to make sure you have a good time at her bar. It's very clean and the atmosphere is kind of like your corner bar with dancers. It might be a little bright with lots of neon signs but still at least you can see the girls. They have sports up on the big screens and typical bar food if you're hungry.

I seemed to notice it was mostly your average guy there (and a few couples too) so you don't have to compete with the pro athletes like you do in Minneapolis. (The Chicago Bears were in town one night at a downtown club and there was NO prying girls away from them. So we left a 1/2 hour after paying $38 for two Bud Lights and cover charge)

Drinks are pretty reasonable too but it is a strip club so as always you should expect to pay a little more. It was about $7.50 I think for a Guinness.

They have two stages - only one was going when I went - and there is a VIP lounge. I didn't get a dance there but it looked nice and a guy I talked to that did go in said he had a great time. Maybe next time.

Oh, and one other thing is parking is FREE. It was nice not to have to shell out an extra $10-$15 for parking. Plus, You're not walking down some shady street late at night wondering if you're going to get robbed.

I guess maybe I used the word "nice" quite a bit but it really is the best...
