Just thought I'd add my opinion as I put a topic up and people shared a lot of info with me.
I had a couple of visits back in may, wandered into the griffin around 4pm on a Wednesday, fairly quiet, alcohol reasonable priced, £1 in a jar as people have mentioned for the dancers who got fully naked, seemed a decent atmosphere, I had hoped to get a private dance with a tattood blonde that was on display but after her go on stage she disappeared, left after about an hour because 2 Romanian strippers were hounding me for a private dance and I was too polite to tell them to FOFF.
Next day I wander into browns, probably about 6pm and immediately get cornered my a stripper about private dances, hadn't even got myself a drink yet, she left eventually and I watched a couple of stage shows (£1 in a jar, this bar was busier) along comes another stripper who I did go for a dance with (think it was £30 for 2 songs?) anyway she was stunning and got fully naked, but again kept trying to to up sell telling me'it's better in the vip area "and wanting me to spend £200 to go with her, I chose not to.
It did get me thinking though, what actually do you get for your money? She was promising free drinks and all sorts of fun but I got the feeling I was gonna be leaving with heavy balls and a light wallet...
