The Katt

This really is a nasty dive bar. Nothing sophisticated used to dance there back in the day
.gross

Place was not busy, 20 min at the bar, no looks, no drink.

This is a really fun bikini bar. The girls are cute and friendly. Believe it or not the food is actually VERY good. My wife even enjoys going.

I don’t know who works in the kitchen, but they do there thing. I really enjoyed the dancing but the food is a plus!

Let’s be real, it’s a dive, but I don’t think most bars of that nature are lined with gold and granite. It’s a favorite among the friends, so one day I went. Not a bad place. Of course I had to pregame it as I do not enjoy using the restroom with no doors of the stalls, but I understand it. It was fun. The girls dance in bikinis, no stripping. The drinks are strong and cheap which is the real reason to go isn’t it?

The Katt is a dive of a strip club. It’s semi-​hidden, tucked away on Warwick Blvd near the YMCA. The parking lot is almost completely hidden behind the building and it’s all laid out in gravel. This makes for a mess when it’s rainy out. In most senses, it is your archetypical dump strip club. There are some shady cats walking around, the place isn’t even close to being clean, the bathroom is nasty as hell, the security is gruff, and there is an overall air of sleeze. Incidentally, this is what makes The Katt, The Katt. The girls are all mostly good strippers, talented at what they do and fairly attractive. Actually, in Virginia it’s illegal to strip off clothes on stage while exotically dancing, so the girls are actually «dancers». This is so lame it hurts my brain, but what are you gonna do?
I’m actually not a huge fan of strip clubs. They’re okay, but I find them to be kind of a waste of money for the most part, particularly given that also in Virginia the girls cannot strip and cannot even be topless. Again: this hurts my brain and makes me want to flee this puritanical craphole state. But anyways, I digress. I usually end up at The Katt after a night of drinking at other places, and this only because the people I’m with want to go there. I probably wouldn’t go there of my own volition.
Also, there are WAY too many cops crawling around the parking lot and stopping in to chat with the doorman. Some might say this is good and keeps the place safe. Personally, I don’t trust local cops as far as I can throw them and seeing them hanging around a place like The Katt does not assuage my general concerns about the safety of the place and the possibility of running into a dirty, power-​mongering, jackass cop.
The good points though are as follows. First, the drinks are cheap. Don’t know about the food because let’s face it, eating at a strip club is like drinking water from a Jersey Shore hot tub – you’re probably gonna be sick and you might catch something… But the drinks are affordable and the bartenders are attentive and happy-​to-​pour. Also, I’ve seen people get tossed out, and the security staff handled this quickly, efficiently, and with few problems. Furthermore, the strippers generally aren’t stuck up and rude, and genuinely seem to enjoy chatting with the clientele.

I have to stop handing out 5 stars but some of the places I review are just so magnificent. This place sucks though but the food is actually pretty good. The place is a go go bar where girls are dancing for dollars. Pretty terrible if you ask me. They have a full bar but the bartender is an idiot and does not know how to make drinks. The location of the establisment is obscure almost impossible to find if your not introduced by a local. I come here alot because theres nothing to do around Newport except get shot.
