Working Hard for Their Money
Pole-dancing under red and blue strobe lights, the talented female strippers are the main attraction of the Zanzibar Tavern, a popular nightspot in downtown Toronto for tourists and residents alike. The darkly lit club has a long, full-service bar to the right, next to the big main stage where girls of all shapes and sizes put on tantalizing strip shows. Lined with poles on either side and with a dazzling golden curtain behind, the stage can be viewed from all corners of the tavern. Patrons come for the variety of girls (usually at least 30 on staff) and their inventive getups, from voluptuous Latinas suited up in skimpy lace or blond, girl-next-door types decked out in denim. Expect to be frequently hit on by the women, as they make their business in promoting lap dances, table-side numbers or private-room “forbidden” shows.
Titillating VIP Rooms
The Zanzibar attracts a wide spectrum of clientele, from pure spectators to wealthy businessmen who can afford $600 bottles of champagne to accompany their lap dances. And if you have a seat far from the bar, don’t worry. The waitresses in skimpy white lace uniforms are easy to spot, courtesy of the black-light glow. The main showroom has dining tables and private booths for parties and the dark arrangements blend in well. Upstairs you’ll find the private VIP rooms with a luxury VVIP Champagne room down below. Just follow the reddish glow of the tiny lights lining the stairs and walls. Zanzibar is open from late morning until last call, seven days a week and there is no cover. Alcohol pricing is cheaper during the day, until 6 p.m. when the prices go up. In addition to draft and bottled beer and the wide variety of liquors, Zanzibar serves a substantial selection of red and white wines, and champagnes offered in a vast range of prices.
