Jay Jay's Inn (Review Date: August 1st 2009) 7.2
Math Can Be Fun!
As a golden rule for any strip club visit; if you are walking in the front door and ACDC is blaring, you know you're in for a good time. So on this visit downtown, the team and I were at Jay Jay's Inn down on Lakeshore and there's nothing like a good ol' fashioned titty bar to make you want to party.
It wasn't an easy place to find as we had driven past it more than once and we strained our eyes up one side of the street and down the other looking for numbers or indications of where the hell the place was. Eventually, I got lucky and spotted what I thought looked like a Jay- something on a wall on a projected outer wall; that cursive lettering that makes up a lot of Toronto store and club fronts and while it looks great it's also a pain in the ass when you are looking for a place you've never been before. So, to find it yourself since it is certainly a place you're going to want to visit, just drive down to Lakeshore then use Islington along with Royal York as start here and too far streets. Keep an eye on the south side of the road and just look for some parking along 5th Street and you're as good as gold. We managed to find some parking in what seemed to be the parking lot for the adjoining restaurant and the condo complex on the other side of the street and while they suggested (over the phone ) that we park behind the building, it was just a little too sketchy for us to chance our lovely automobile and personal belongings down a spooky, back alley.
We strode through the metal doors and were greeted with the sounds that every single person would want to hear when they visit a strip club; Hard Rock. The club itself looked like it was trapped in a time warp with it's very late 70s early 80s look to it with big, hanging, red globe lights and an impressive collection of disco balls. Bathed in a red glow, the girl on stage was doing her damnedest to make ACDC proud of her as she thrusted and gyrated to the end choirs of, “The Jack” and the many people throughout the club cheered her on with whistles, then cat calls and quite frankly more response to a girl's performance on stage than we've seen in quite a bit. We sat down and looked around at the tables, the stage and then the large wing chairs along the wall caught my eye and like some kind of ultra comfortable nostalgia trip, I couldn't help but burst out laughing as these are usually things that you find in your eldest relative's retirement condo. But! While that's funny ( and IT IS ), I love old retro wing chairs and they are stupid comfortable so if you follow this simple equation with me you'll know the true genius of Jay Jay's Inn. Beer + Strippers + Retro Wing Chairs = Best Time Ever. The DJ was then calling out for “Kashmir” to come to the stage and naturally I had my fingers crossed for some Led Zeppelin but that would be about the only disappointment for the night and one I could live with since the dancer owned the stage and brought down a torrent of cat calls and applause.
The waitress who served us with a toothy grin and heaving cleavage, did so in the usual manner but also did something that is very rare these days and you'll only find in a titty bar. When I asked for my drink she brought out the whole can of pop and placed a glass of ice next to it. Now normally since I SUCK at paper, rock, scissors, I'm the poor bastard who gets crowned designated driver and doesn't get to drink with the rest of the team. Therefore, I have to put up with a small glass of whatever soft drink I ordered showing up in a tiny glass with plenty of ice to make sure that I got truly hosed, or a half bottle of water costing me the same as a down payment on my house. So when an un-opened can of pop and a human sized glass with ice in it really catches my attention and it also shows that this club is willing to give you exactly what you ordered while simply not dicking you around. As for beer and spirits, they have plenty of them as well and with prices that won't punch your wallet in the kidneys unlike a lot of other places and Wednesday is customer appreciation night with beer cheaper than ever.... How cheap you ask?... Go and find out for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
The stage is pretty simple with plain wooden flooring, a brass pole sticking out of the centre and a half hexagon pervert's row and along with this there is the classic bubbling lights in the background making up most of the back wall of the stage. The girls run the gambit from pretty to pretty close to mandatory retirement but it takes all kinds to make the world go round and I'm willing to bet that while Jay Jay's may not have every girl meet your standards, they have at least one that will catch your fancy. Dances with that special lady of the evening are going to run you the standard cost of twenty dollars a song, but there is no cover to get into the private dance area and if it's a slow night you could probably talk the girls into going a little cheaper than the standard 20 or doing you for 10 a song to make sure they get at least that first 20 out of you.
Jay Jay's Inn is a perfect nostalgia trip titty bar, with some of the most comfortable furniture I've planted my butt in for quite a long time. The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a neighbourhood strip club and the girls work for their money with a soundtrack that we could only wish most places would use.

the place needs an overhaul, ugly strippers, annoying waitress, and their 145-pound lanky bouncer.

I don't know what these guys are talking about. The club isn't very busy but I found what I was looking for, a good time with girls that werent pushing me into a vip dance. Prices were reasonable and the music was good when there wasnt a dancer on stage. I was there tonight and they had young girls that were very pretty. I dunno I am not a daytime guy so no idea about that. I will go back.

To Rob and Dan, I am sorry you feel that way, the girls here are constantly changing and maybe you should try to come and see us during the night time. We are not a big beautiful bar like Treasure's nor like Whiskey A Gogo, we are a small neighbourhood bar and we try to capitalize on that small warm comfort zone feeling. Karl, yes the Staff and our customers do vote for us, sometimes every day and I so appreciate it. Jay Jay's is a place where customers feel like family, and dancers get treated with respect and neither customer or dancer feels pressured about the almighty dollar. I so hope you will give us another try. And please introduce your self to me so I can try to make your stay the most pleasant one you will have!
