I have a friend that Raves about this place. So, when I recently found myself in the Atlanta area, I Googled this place. One of my concerns was the location. As of April 2017, I was pleasantly surprised and the parking space (which is across the street) was well lit and felt safe. So there, boring stuff out of the way, but I hope that helps like-minded people like myself. I showed up Thursday about 2100 and aside from a few patrons and staff the place was empty. Then 2200 roles around. The dancers appear and the chill music really takes place. The dancers this night were very attractive and 99% were smooth muscular men. I thought the full nudity took a bit to roll around, but aside from that I rather enjoyed myself. The dancers were friendly to me; reading the reviews I did not experience the rudeness mentioned in many of the reviews here. I went there solo and had fun, I even chatted with some of the local patrons, and they were very friendly too. I would go back and hopefully try for a Friday or Saturday. Now fellas, this is a strip club; bring cash and if you can a lot. For about $200, I had a fun time, I did pay for the VIP lounge: which I hung out a lot in. I did not do the private lounge, but was extremely tempted to do so (Jason). Go and have fun, I did and hope to again soon.

Don’t bother coming after midnight, dancers are over it by then and do not care anymore! I went a couple years ago a spent over a thousand dollars and was one of best experiences I’ve ever had. I went after midnight on a Saturday and spent less than a hundred and most of that was on drinks! Two stars over one because the bartenders were nice and quick to serve. If I go back it’ll be before midnight.

I will not being going back to this establishment. We went for a girls night with a big group of friends, and one of my friends got roofied. It was very scary and I would not recommend. Not sure how they did it, but she was definitely not drunk and was acting very abnormal. She was also extremely sick all night, and sadly that wasn’t the only thing. My other friend had $60 stolen. Definitely would not go again. Zero stars.

I must say that Ive been to many strip clubs in my days, however none of them involved nude men... Well none of them involved nude male employees. The club was overall very nice. Great lighting, awesome bathrooms (the fancy kind with the male servant handing you paper towels type), they had parking but I took an Uber. The performers were all good looking men many of whom werent afraid to go let it hang out and let it fly as well. What surprised me was the variety of performers there: they had all races, all ages, and a variety of types. Its neat that you didnt have to go to the VIP room to get a lap dance... They would wander the room like lost puppies and pick some random person and go to town. The bartenders were quick and friendly. I generally hair order a vodka water with lime so its not like anyone can screw that up. The drinks are priced about right: 5-10 bucks depending on the booze. You can smoke here which Im not always used to when I go to places but it was nice to light a cigar. Try it out! The worse that could happen is you black out, loose all your money, and catch something that cant be cured with a shot. Joking of course.... Or am I? Good luck!!!

Swinging Richards provides a relaxed and fun atmosphere. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The drinks are good and always greeted with a smile by the bartenders. For those who havent visited I know what you want to know, and yes the staff is attractive. The most upbeat person Ive ever met happens to be Darrell. He also is an amazing dancer. I have and will continue to revisit Swinging Richards.

Great place to enjoy very good dancers. I do wish that there was more current music played, such as the hot 100 list, that would really allow the dancers to dance appropriately to the songs. Maybe even cleaning up the policy on having women in the club everyday too.

As a female customer it was interesting. Parking is 5.00 admission was 15 and drinks about 10. Not bad for a club. Given a female strip club it would be way more. Parking attendant was rude but whatever. Drinks nice size. Now this is a strip club so yes its butt naked men and they are not afraid to get naked. Dances are $10.00. Me personally I dont want no naked man on me straddling me. Sorry. But my friend enjoyed herself. I mean its a strip club its not too complicated. Women have to wear pants and you cant go into private rooms. Overall very polite dancers they all greeted us and were nice. As a gay man customer it may be a different experience. But basically if you want to see buttnaked men this is the place.

This is no Magic Mike experience. First they charge to park in some gravel lot across the street, this means less money to give the dancers since you are giving up cash to park. Second, the dancers have great bodies but are not good looking in my opinion. My friend and I didnt stay long so we didnt get to see all the dancers, there might have been better looking ones that came out later. Third, they have a strict dress code. I was not in compliance with their dress code so they told me I had to leave and did not give me my money back, which is not cool.

The best strip club experience of my life. This place offers a fun and accepting atmosphere. If you are not 100% okay with the “strip club” atmosphere though I would think twice though but if you are okay with it then you will have an absolute blast! I will definitely be back very soon! Fun fun fun!!! And extremely hot men!!!

I had been going off and on to SR for 10 years, due to some lawsuit, the cover has been jacked up to $15 and the big $8 cocktail, which was the best deal in town, is now $12. I cant afford to go there anymore, and the quality of the dancers now doesnt warrant these high prices. This is not LA or NY. Soon the only people who will go will be the die-hards. Not much swinging there anymore. If they quit charging for parking, and went back to $5 during the week and $10 on the weekend, the crowds would flock back. Dont penalize us for the lawsuit.

I have been going to Swinging Richards for the last 5 years and my last visit was on June 2, 2018 and I was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED! They went up on the cover charge and the drinks now are ridiculously expensive. Whenever I go I always buy the VIP wristband because I enjoy the intimate setting but they increased the charge on that as well. In VIP it used to cost 20.00 for a dance, but now they force you to buy “d*ck dollars” in order to buy a dance and there is a 4.00 charge for every “dollar” that you purchase and there is a minimum of 2. Over the years I have spent a lot of money in this place but my last visit was a let down. Something needs to change or I don’t see them staying in business much longer. They have gone from a fun place to visit to becoming a Shady Ripoff Establishment!!!

Be aware of dancer Angel. He will take you in VIP and specifically state the dance is $20 per dance. He will dance 2 min off of one songs and 2 the next and will charge you $60. I had to get management involved to get my money back. No different from dealing with pan handlers on a dark alley. Be careful when doing a private dance in this establishment

I previously heard mixed reviews, and, upon being presented with the opportunity to experience this establishment with beloved colleagues, I became excited to visit the infamous, yes infamous, Swinig Richards.The first impression was absolutely horrible. There is no valet and there are vague signs guiding parking. I accidentally parked in a VIP parking area. There were only signs stating $5 Parking, which I was happy to pay. However, the attendant walked up to me in an extremely aggressive manner demanding that I move parking spots. I told him that I was confused, but I would be happy to park in the correct area. He became more aggressive and threatened to have me removed from the premises. I, again, asked him the correct area to park so that I didnt impose on the facilit, and he pointed to the highway. Had I not been accompanying a birthday party for the said beloved colleague, I wouldve never stayed. This was a horrible first impression and terrible welcoming to the facility. I will absolutely dissuade anyone from visiting here. There are much better attractions in this beautiful city.

Came in town with my fiance and some friends for a bachelor/bachelorette party in Hotlanta and we decided to stop by this place. Drinks were reasonably priced and well made. I cant give a fair opinion on the dancers, but my friends seemed to have enjoyed them. Good times. Well be back.

Havent been since pre-COVID but, we ALWAYS have a blast. The ONLY thing I dont care for is the playlist. You cant suggest any songs and they play the same ol tunes. Hey Mr. DJ, upgrade us baby!!! Staff is very welcoming, bartenders make excellent drinks, and the atmosphere is 🔥

Review №16

Great place to relax if you go earlier on weeknights to have a conversation with a fantasy friend.The guys are the best of any club in town and they can be great or greatly disappointing. My favorite is Darrell who is incredibly fit and incredibly fun to spend time with. He actually dances and does gymnastics on the stage! Been a customer for years but never wrote a review. If you want to step into a bubble of fantasy and enjoy the company of magnificent young men, this place has you covered (or uncovered) ....

Bring yo stacks! These guys work hard and take care of themselves so you can enjoy their....acrobats and what not! I, myself, am a member of the Stripper Appreciation Society and am grateful for the service they do for us. I appreciate my yearly birthday lap dance from one of the hard working young men (Im looking at you Angel!! you Cuban papacito!!!)So come in, enjoy the strong drinks, tip your bartenders and most of all tip the dancers!!Edited: Ladies, please dont ruin it for the rest of us who understand that this is NOT a Magic Mike experience. Bachelorette parties are not a good idea here--this is primarily a gay stripper club and were lucky that we can come here to enjoy it. So sit back with your money, enjoy the view and dont act an ASS!

Hot guys is not always a given at standard clubs, Swinging Richards is spot on with gorgeous men! Also, they can move and entertain with a bit more personality than the normal scene. Definitely will return and have another great night of fun and men!

I went on 1/12/2019 it was horrible 25 dollars to get in with parking. Dancers were lazy , many kept clothes on while flashing themselves occasionally definitely not the place I remember where they actually worked for the tips. Left after about an hour and saw others doing the same!

Well I went on my Bachelorette party with three other girls and a guy and we had soooo sooo soooo much fun and let me tell you, the guys were all AMAZING! I will definitely be returning! The one thing I must point out to all the ladies who intend to go there: be very aware that this is mainly a gay bar, they arent there for you. Sometimes gay guys just like to be left alone and have their own bar to themselves, so if you run into some rudeness expect it, dont act surprised. What do you expect?? seriously ladies, dont complain if you werent patronized the way you thought you should be. Its not a blight on the gay community thats overreacting. The DJ that she was talking about wasnt there when I went and this was in june 2010. The only hesitation I got was from the man at the door who tried to run us out of there telling us Clydesdales was down the street and it catered to bachelorettes, but I still had oh soo so much fun and got free lap dances...the guys will def. make it worth gettin married! lol and by the way....a lot of the dancers are strait and HOTTT.Females be forewarned:There is only one, I repeat, ONE bathroom for you in there. If you have the guts, you can boldly walk into the mens room, they didnt mind when I did it hahaOyea and one more thing:There is a strict dress code, no short shorts or short anything....no halters so try and be classy!(even tho ur in a strip club....)

If you get too drunk and scare the staff, they will hear you out for whatever cash you have in your wallet. The strippers look out for not only the clients, but also each otherVery good place.

Got conned by a stripper there. Took my partner and I into the back room for a dance and did not tell us any pricing up front. so there goes $60 plus a $5 ATM fee down the drain. thought it would be cheaper than that. Nothing but a whorehouse.

Review №24

They allow smoking which is unfortunate. The freaking cigarette smoke is ridiculous. There is no ventilation, and my clothes smelled like a smoke stack after I left. It also irritated my sinuses. Is it a requirement to be a damn chain smoker when you go there? Make the smokers go outside!

Review №25

Their website says no bachelorette parties, well that’s all there is! It’s not a gay bar anymore. It’s just a strip club for women. Don’t spend your precious $ there. Leg then go bankrupt with their fenaw clientele. Only gay guys pay $150 for private dances. The females don’t. Too bad!

Review №26

I was just discriminate by two dancers just because we Latinos.Two of the dancers on stage (white guys one of them name JOEY) was laughing at us and proceeded saying that soon we wont be able to claim that wall not know that we are citizens of this country. To be honest they were the most distasteful dancers in here. 80% of the clientes was Latinos

I havnt been here yet ( not really interested in guys or snooty uptitty females who have to explain how to properly tip a bartender- type of dancer)..If they are working for tips only, then I would suggest anywhere from 50%-75% gratituty of whatever the listed drink price is( however, theyre should be some wiggle room with this) depending on your type of drink and the realtionship.But, If he is taking off his pants for you, then yes ALOT generioustly is expected..otherwise get in and get out as quickly as possible..

Not EVEN a gay bar anymore. Way TOO MANY females ogling the dancers, and they shouldn’t be allowed. Try going to a Chippendales-like bar as a male and they don’t let you in. Double standard maybe.
