The Millstream Inn — Restaurant in Woodlawn

I have been a customer for the last 6 or 7 years, and I visit two or three of times a month, so you could say that I am a regular. This review is about the current state of the club, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The Good: The bartenders are the best, particularly Nina with the dreadlocks. She sometimes works alone and gets busy managing the dancers and tending bar, but she can always keep up, and she always remembers what each customer wants, even before they order - it is impressive. All the bartenders are attentive, even when the club is busy, and they pour the drinks right always – slightly strong, but not crazy strong. The food and drink prices are surprisingly reasonable (comparable to any restaurant), and the food in the club is top notch, much of it is farm to table – unexpected for a strip bar. The steaks, burgers, quesadilla, and soups are better than most local restaurants, and the specials are varied and always worth trying. I love it when they have buffets! The dances are expensive, but worth the premium if you are willing to spend for at least a half hour dance and upgrade to the sky box or owner’s suite. The VIP card is well worth it, but the amount needed for a reward could be a little lower. The DJs play music catered to the dancers, not the clientele, but it mostly works. Some of the veteran dancers, like Essence, Paradise, Ivy and Renee, make it worth the visit.

The Bad: The club has experienced significant dancer turnover lately, even more than would be expected in a strip bar. I do not feel as welcome by the dancers as I used to. They have amateur night on Wednesdays, but it’s not real amateurs – it is audition night with all the dancers from other clubs looking for a new gig – that is fine, but I’d love to see a real amateur night sometime. Even a wet t-shirt or amateur bikini contest would be welcome change. Also, there is no DJ before 5 or so, and sometimes the music gets stale, and the dancers are visibly bored with it.

The Ugly: The men’s room is gross. It is small, which may or may not be fixable, but it is always dirty, smells of urine, sweat and vomit, and needs updated fixtures. The layout is tricky, and it is hard to get around other patrons to use the urinal or wash your hands. I would think they would be able to redo it and expand it into the back room – a big investment I would guess, but it would...

Millstream Inn is a great adult entertainment club. I rate this establishment a four-star rating because, of the location, atmosphere, service quality, pricing, music, and of course the entertainers.

Location: Millstream Inn's location is in a very remote location in Woodlawn, MD which can be difficult to spot on the map. Despite, the secluded location, it is at least in a safe neighborhood.

Atmosphere: The club is neatly decorated with a scarlet color scheme, which makes it seem like an upscale nightclub. The main stage is easily viewable from almost any seating at the bar and there are plenty of round dining tables to sit at.

Service Quality: The service quality is slightly lacking primarily due to the bar's layout. The seating at the bar has a horseshoe shape with the bar station being in the middle. Along with the bar station is a centerpiece that obscures the view from the bartender and the customer. This inconvenience results in not being served within a timely manner. However, once noticed, the bartender is polite and will serve their customer quickly.

Pricing: The pricing is as follows, $100 for a 15 minute lap dance, $200 for a champagne lounge, and $300 for a VIP booth. There are more services with higher pricing. However, these prices are much more expensive than other clubs I have visited. Out of seven different clubs, this one has the highest pricing. On the positive side, the quality of the different services were superb!

Music: The music is diverse from Country to R&B, which are two completely different genres. Even with different genres in music, the club still has great taste in music which attracts various customers.

Entertainers: The entertainers are very polite, attractive and easy to conversate with. For as long as tips are coming and the customers are polite, then they will be just as polite back.

ADVISE: Show up with sufficient cash, always tip, and have a good club etiquettes, then you'll have...

I have been going to this place for a few years now and it’s the best one for me, it’s become like my neighborhood bar, the staff is amazing from security, bar staff, entertainers, the DJ and even most of the regulars. Parking can be a bit of an issue on crowded event nights but that’s any good place you go to. Cover is still a good price on the nights they have it. They are not super expensive either for the amazing quality of food. They have a 5 star chef in the kitchen and I do mean a real 5 star chef (he left some 5 star restaurant in the city and works there as he knows the owner) very diverse entertainers, you will be able to find what you like there. The DJs ( Jamie, Chris and Andrew) play a very good and variety of music. And security is great, in a place like Baltimore security can be a concern but in this place is anything but that. Security is there not just for the staff but also for the customers to feel safe and have a good time without a worry. I’ve had issues in the past with other customers that got too drunk and belligerent trying to start fights and security was able to handle the situations without fights so they are definitely competent at their job. This is a place that ends up feeling like home that you can come in at any time they are open and enjoy a drink, get some amazing food, watch a game (watch not listen, is still a club so music is playing) enjoy some amazing company from the bartenders or entertainers maybe even the regulars.
