Polekatz Chicago Gentlemen's Club — Restaurant in Palos Township

I was a VIP customer for many years. I would go to the club at least ones a week including VIP parties and special events that they always promote. I occasionally would also bring friends and new customers with me to the club. The staff including the bartenders, bouncers and dancers were all very nice, friendly and always professional. Until one day an incident happen 3 years ago and my husband and I got thrown out from the club and have not been allowed to come back. Just to let you know how petty, unsecured, male ego the Manager can be that he still prefers to continue loose money from a good customer than allow us to come back to the club after 3 years. Three years ago my husband, two girlfriends of ours and me went to the club on a Thursday night after having dinner and a few drinks. The club was completely empty with only about 10 people total and that was counting us 4. They only had about 10 or less dancers because the club was so dead that cold night. We sat by the bar on the main floor and order some drinks from one of our favorite bartender and we were having a good time. The DJ is awesome and always plays great music so that night the music was great like always. We were dancing (moving around while we were standing by the bar if you want to even call that dancing) and the manager comes over and tells us that we cannot dance. I asked him what does he mean we can't dance? I told him we were not dancing that we were just moving around and feeling the music. He continue to say we can't do that. I was getting a little upset because i couldn't understand why he was been such a jerk when every other time we've been there I move around and there's never been a problem before. I try to explain to him that we were just having a good time, we were not dancing on stage or taking any attention from the dancers and there was literally no customers but us so it's not like we were causing a scene. He got upset and told the bartender to stop serving us because we were intoxicated. I became even more in rage and said a few bad words and called him some in appropriate names (that i completely admit that was on call for and unprofessional of me) . But i couldn't understand how he would stop serving us and kick us out when we did nothing wrong and we were spending money. We left and we got over it the next day and thought nothing about. My husband and I have been trying to go back ever since that incident (that happen 3 years ago) and they still do not let us in because of this Manager that still has a grudge towards me because i offend him in front of his bartender. What's very sad and ashamed and stereotyping of female customers and not good business is that over all the past years that we were VIP customers, we personally saw many completely intoxicated to the point they can't walk, belligerent guy customers become disrespectful with the dancers, fighting with other customers and they get kicked out but they're allow to go back to the club the following week. But me, who said a few bad words to a manager on an empty night is still not allow to ever go back to the club. My husband is allow to go in as long as he doesn't go with me. What type of business is this....... It's there lost that i will take my business and money to other clubs and establishments. So ladies, if you'r thinking of going to the club make sure you're not dress where you're showing too much skin according to them and make sure you don't piss off any of the managers because you will not be...

My first few visits here were good, the bouncers are friendly but my two recent visits leave a lot to be desired. The waitresses seem to have a habit of changing for drinks you never receive.

A waitress charged me for drinks that I ordered but she never brought to the table, insisting that she brought the drinks that I ended up getting from the bar when she never came back. She bought a "free round" to compensate for the confusion aka the round she already CHARGED ME FOR!!! I wasn't impressed but it didn't keep me from tipping well and giving the place another shot.

On my last visit when I asked to close my tab. The waitress returned without the detailed receipt and when I asked for it. She acted like it was an inconvenience to get it but she did, and immediately asked for the signed copy back (still tipped well). But when I checked the receipt later, there was a charge for four shots but I was in a group of three and we only had one round of shots upon our arrival

When customers are already spending a good chunk of money in your establishment, they should be able to trust they aren't going to get scammed intentionally or not. When I'm trying to have a good night out, one of the last things I want to worry about is getting overcharged.

And to top it off, they make a copy of your ID and credit/debit card to keep "on file" 😑 which sounds like a recipe...

Really beautiful layout, the dancers were pretty but I did not see a single black woman there at all, I felt very unwelcome for what should be a very diverse area. My audition was around 4 seconds and I drove nearly 10 hours to be here. It was disappointing to say the least, I’ve never been to an audition where it was less than 1/2 a song. I truly mean 4 seconds. If you don’t know the song, you don’t even get a chance to feel out the music. I’m not sure if it’s a common occurrence or, again, if we were just not welcome. I think right off the bat they knew they didn’t want me, but had to audition me because I asked. Not complaining, but for any other girls who come here: I’m not entirely sure what they are looking for, I’ve been doing this for years and when I went in I saw a lot of white girls with brunette hair and a few Latina girls. It was very clear that they have a particular vibe they are going for. I think I went for around 3% of the beginning of a pole trick before I was cut off. So maybe don’t do that. I think going the skill route isn’t what they are wanting but that’s about all I know for...
