    When we got to this place served us very well the valet parking. were still undecided going into this place. By bad reviews or bad experiences that others had told us and that is also whispered in the HARVARD & STONE bar this place was not very good and had some strippers who always got in trouble for costumers. But a tall white a bit chubby served us very well with a smile. After a while of being in Jumbo few of my friends wanted to smoke so we all went out to talk and the fat white boy greeted us politely and we greet each other very well. He also said they were two-drink minimum and to give tips to strippers. But we was afraid that some of the strippers we got into trouble. For everything bad that many people talk bad about this place.There's always some security BRUNO then always charges for get in and do not wait in line or let people in without ID.And also as a PRICILLA always gets angry and says FUCK YOU and she always says BAD WORDS when she is on the stage to costumers only because they do not give tips. But there are strippers that happens the same and do not act as PRICILLA. Feared to meet these people here and it seems the two are Hispanic, but do not treat customers well. Or would they both have some relation between them and as they plan how to treat customers. We found PRICILLA only that night and we did not think was gonna make a good night. But we drink and many of the strippers did a good show and always change their clothes to make a good entertaining show and put tips on them. But whenever PRICILLA took the stage never did a good pole dance ALWAYS with the same clothes never change her outfit. And not even to say thank you to any of my friends who gave him tips. It was time she approached us and asked us to buy her a drink and we did but we gave it to her. She grabbed the drink and went to another customer and neither gave thanks. We decided not to give tips the rest of the night and there was a time when she get started to dance but nobody gave her tips. With her fingers told everyone to FUCK YOU. And she tells everyone that why they come here and do not give tips to her. then all customers will be stared at and even the bartender told her nothing. So we thought that maybe PRICILLA has a PRIVILEGE IN JUMBOS CLOWN ROOM that neither the bartenders can tell her anything about how to treat the customer. We decided to go to another bar calmer and not expect them to treat us like the stripper PRICILLA did us that night. We would like to spoken with the owner or manager. to realize how they behave and how they strippers treat the customer at this place. To avoid problems in the future we will call jumbos. first to ask who are the strippers who they working in that place that day or night. If PRICILLA is working that day or night better not go to avoid insults and disrespect to us.

  • The Endup...

    Where the smell of beer and piss intermingle and scary "Monster" dykes troll the shadows of the patio.

    Ah, memories.

    Any place with plastic shot glasses should never appear on any "best of," list. Never.

  • Got handed one of those at a gay nightclub recently.

    Thank goodness there was no cover or I would've pitched a fit.

    Maker's Mark in a plastic glass is pure blasphemy.

    Someone needs to lighten up. The last time I was there I had a blast. The strippers were terrible, past their prime and they knew it. They were more interested in entertaining and having fun with people than anything else and entertain they did. It was a full on camp fest of the best kind.

    Going to a place like this, do you really expect a 5 star bar? No, but its good.

    As for being on Playboy's list..I think they might be a little late to the game on this one.

    Wow...so "Playboy" is still relevant?  Last time I went to Jumbo's the Groovy Rednecks almost got thrown out.  Last time I had "fun" at Jumbo's, Courtney Love was flaunting her razor burn, poor thing, and my friend bought the shittiest coke I've ever had in the john.  And the End Up in the City?  You gotta be joking.  I'll give them props for outing the Double Down, but even my underage friends knew about that dive
