Club Thunderbolt is a strip club operating out of the Detroit, Michigan, home of owner-operator Jay Thunderbolt. Patrons phone ahead to request that the club open during a certain time, and can even select individual strippers they would like to see in advance. Thunderbolt (who refuses to give his real name) operates the club 24 hours a day. According to the Detroit Metro Times, Thunderbolt can legally operate the club without a license because he serves neither food nor alcohol, and because technically he is making a private arrangement with customers in his home.http://www.metrotimes.com/culture/story.asp?id=14918
Visiting Club Thunderbolt
Thunderbolt advertises his club through plain business cards that include the name of the establishment, the motto "Party Naked" and his phone number. Patrons can then show up without paying a cover charge and select from a variety of performers using a "catalog" which includes Polaroids of the various strippers under Thunderbolt's employ. Though no alcohol is served, Thunderbolt says he allows people to bring their own "party favors."http://www.metrotimes.com/culture/story.asp?id=14918
Rules of the house include the following:
- No biting
- No licking
- No slapping
- No hurting the girls in any way
- No prostitution
Thunderbolt charges $10 for a lap dance if the stripper keeps her G-string on and $20 for a lap dance without a G-string. Thunderbolt remains present in the club at all times during its operation, and receives a 10% cut of all funds received by his strippers.http://www.metrotimes.com/culture/story.asp?id=14918
