We were there to celebrate my sons birthday. We are from out of town, so we didnt have enough kids to invite for an official party even though thats all he asked for for his birthday. The staff was friendly and helpful in making his birthday special. We ordered their cake and were excited to find out that they deliver them personally even if you didnt schedule a party.As far as play time, I was unsure about the unlimited option, but grew to love it quickly. We paid for 1.5 hrs and it was perfect. I didnt stress over them spending all of their tokens on just one thing. I didnt stress about them wasting tokens on something they probably wouldnt like. I was able to just let them go explore and have fun.The worker at the prize counter was very patient. She also immediately rounded up. We were easily able to buy an additional prize for the birthday boy too.If there was anything I didnt like, it was the small toddler moving skee-ball balls around, but I dont think thats so much about the business as it is about the parents that werent supervising. But, its nice to be somewhere that has the extra level of safety that I dont have to stand next to my child at all times. Instead of matching hand stamps, they now take a picture of the family together with your phone (or you can choose to just do a family selfie). So, the child has to be pictured with you at their entrance to leave with you.

Regardless of any reviews in past, last night is my best and no doubt favorite night at Parkway Tropic. Women are amazing and they make me feel like King. Definitely come back next time. Good Job!

Please be careful if you go to this place hold on to your belongings because employees are thieves they stole my Louis Vuitton belt took advantage because I had a few drinks we were drinking since noon I attended a convention center and we went there last minute and for their reference because theyre making falls informations I went in there with my belt when I walked out there was no belt they can check the cameras when I told him that nobody ever got but back with me and I did make a police report against them

First of all,it was my birthday on October 6th. We wanted to go somewhere fun. Parkway Tropics, jumped into my mind and we ended up there.Let me say,we had a great time with the beautiful women of tropics . All the women came by with a beautiful smile.But, there is one lady who really stood out above all others. Scarlett. Complete professional work. Shes amazing. Made my birthday worth all my years. Cant say enough good things about Scarlett. Made it a comfortable situation for my wife and I.Thank you again,my dear. We will be back very soon.❤️‍🔥

My husband and I decided to check this place out after coming to the area for a comedy show. We had a BLAST! Sure, a few negative reviews mentioned the outside looking one way or another, but once we got inside it was pretty fun. We definitely enjoyed the wide variety of patrons and the girls. We’re used to strip clubs here in Detroit being topless, but this place was so reminiscent of a fun 80s movie and the energy was well worth the visit.Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Don’t judge a book by its cover…

Would I consider this place a high end strip club? No, not by any means. But, its not a trashy one, either.Ive visited this club a few times, and I normally take friends and occasionally dates here. I cant say Ive ever had a bad time/experience during any of my stopovers. The cover charge is very low, and in a given night, I can get away with spending $50 max. I would highly advise against using a card in this or any similar establishments for obvious reasons. Remember, in a strip club, cash will always be king.From what Ive witnessed, the staff seem very friendly, but do not tolerate idiocy. As long as you are amiable, follow the rules, and are courteous of them, then they will be respectful of you. The bouncer in particular was very polite when going through the ID process.The club is rather small, but still has a lot to offer. There is seating at the bar, and in the form of round tables surrounding the stage. Its darkly lit, with the majority of its spot lights aimed at the stage and pool table. The stage consists of the main floor near the back center of the room, and the walk-way that extends towards the middle.The dancers that I have spoken too are very fun. Often times, I will ask them questions while receiving a dance, and theyre more than happy to oblige me with answers. One piece of advice that I received from a girl was that she uses Coco-butter to keep her skin soft (something I have started doing upon her recommendation). A lot of them are pretty well versed on the pole, while others admit to not even touching it during their routines. I particularly enjoy their many different outfits.One of their special offers for bachelor parties, is that the soon to be groom will receive a three-way lap dance on the center stage. I thought this was extremely hilarious to watch, but I imagine the guy enjoyed his time in the hot seat nonetheless.This place isnt fancy, but for what it is, its pretty alright in my books. Ive yet to have anything negative to say, and if strip clubs are your thing, I would definitely recommend Parkway tropics to you.

Great place! If you manage to go in and not have fun, you might need to see a therapist. Seriously, you might have a condition. The only problem is there is only one location. This place needs to be franchised, like McDonalds. I think it would solve a lot of the anger and division. But seriously, this place is great!

We visited on a Sunday night. This is a surprisingly awesome club. The girls here can really dance. I have been to clubs all over the country and the girls here are by far the best pole dancers my husband and I have seen AND they are all good looking with nice bodies which is not typical either. The bartender Angie was so friendly and the drinks were great. Staff were friendly and welcoming. $10 lap dances totally worth it and they deserve more for their skills.

Had a great time with one girl but the next I bought 2 drinks but she spent a majority of the time talking with someone else. Very disappointed so not sure how to grade this but if I buy a drink I would expect them to be with me not someone else. Not happy was there 9/28 @2000 the bartender was wonderful but Im not sure if I will go back because of that. To prove I was there I had the flame shirt on that everyone commented on all your bartenders who where on between 1900 and 2100.

Really run down looking outside, went there and the dancer Marilyn smelled fishy and girls could use more training with dancing. Over priced for what it is. Owner seems unprofessional with constructive criticism on these reviews..should probably take advice.

Review №16

Only reason I’m not putting 5 starts is because they don’t have much diversity when it comes to body types 99% of the girls are very skinny I was hoping to see and spend my check on some thicker girls but there weren’t any :( still a very nice club though the girls are all very sweet and beautiful just not my type I was hoping to spend money on. You guys should try hiring bigger girls if you ever get the chance :)

Drove by this place out of curiosity, only getting a 1 star, as from the outside it looks like a trap house. I was really shocked it was in a residential area. Will update my review based on the inside of the club and the performers after I visit during the day time.

Review №21

Absolutely terrible I was there for about an hour into it and no girls were on the stage took them forever. Then I tried to get a lap dance from one of the girls and she legit said Yes but had to go back in the back to get ready so I waited and waited but that waiting took 30 minutes too long like seriously. Then one of the girls she was terrible didnt know how to dance and just idk this place really sucked for me

Review №22

This place is the bomb ive been there twice now and the place didnt feel sleazy at all. I did have to pay a five dollar cover charge and a drink that in total cost me 10 dollars which sucked but other than that the place is great. All the girls are supper nice and will take the time to talk to you and of course dance.

I will be flying in from Miami to visit a friend from work and came across this venue on my search of places to have a good time in GR. With all the mixed reviews, I am sure this place has more good points than bad. You can’t please everyone. Coming from Miami there are all kinds of gentlemen’s clubs and not all are for everyone. I am absolutely visiting here when I fly in and going to have a great time not taking into consideration any negativity.On your website I notice there isn’t much info about events and such. Do you serve food or have any TVs showing and boxing or basketball? Also the girls all look beautiful in the pictures but Marie stands out to me. Does she still work there?E from Miami

Nice club, cute girls but raven is a bit full of herself. I was ready to give her a ton of money but she practically blew me off after trying multiple times. The other girls are way more fun. Decent prices and drinks arent watered down. But avoid raven as she is conceited and stuck up.

I went to parkway tropics tonight to audition. The dj flat out told me that Im chubby in my mid section. And that I need to be in shape like the other girls that already work there. And that I should work on my mid section and try back in December. I was body shamed right to my face. I cant help that I have a coke bottle shape. I broke down in tears while grabbing my bags to walk out the door. I dont recommend this place.

The manager should go as a customer and get the horrible treatment the customers get. What she says is a lie. It shows how bad of a manager she is. Just stay home and rent a movie. Youll be much happier.
