The last time I was in there was some years back, so my review is based on that time. I was a regular there from 2007-2009. It was awesome when I first started going. Never really had issues. However, by late 2009, the environment there had gotten (for lack of a better word) cutthroat. The girls were downright ruthless and extremely aggressive and would rip you off in a split second. I went into VIP one night and spent more than $4,000. Now part of that was on me. I did agree to go to VIP and even had the inclination to spend some serious money. But NOT $4,000 worth. The girls that I was in there with got me SO drunk, I could not think straight. That was years ago, and to this day, I could not tell you how many hours I was in VIP that night. But, in all fairness, that was then, and this is now. I want to take the time to applaud Jeff, the new manager at The Furnace. Although I was long gone years before Jeff became the manager, and thus have never met him, I do hear good things and I am happy to see him respond to reviews. Who else would do that? Not any of the past managers of The Furnace, that is for certain. It seems as if The Furnace has been getting cleaned up. The cutthroat environment of 2008-2009 appears to be a thing of the past. Kudos to the new management. Years back, I would have advised anyone asking me about the place not to venture there. But, now, I say go and have a blast! It has changed for the better.

I take a lot of call, which means I am in the Birmingham Medical district a LOT. Often at very odd hours, such as the middle of the night. So in order to sleep well in my hospital cot before the next shift I typically tend to sneak on down to The Furnace. Granted I am no gentlemans club expert, I would like to say this place is CLASSY! Very nice and comfy seats, excellent bar, no smoking inside, and food! Unfortunately I have not tried the food, thats not why I mosey on down there... Hehe. The ladies! Thats why! Gorgeous if I do say so myself! The only reason I rate 3/5 is one incident that was a bit appalling. I was indeed taken in by a lovely seductress, of whom I will not name, it could have been a simple misunderstanding. However, I am fairly positive on what we agreed upon. We did not agree to run one of my cards until the maximum amount was acquired for said dance. We did not agree that it would be only a different couch upstairs and three dances..... For the price of FIVE? So in short (if you made it this far in this long winded boring tale) glorious place, glorious girls, excellent service, but keep an eye on that wallet and DO NOT USE CREDIT/DEBIT if at all possible. One star per dance!

This club charged me 2-3 times for the same one drink I purchased. I had over 8 transactions on my bank account that were pending from the 3 transactions that I actually charged myself! How a company gets away with this is beyond me! Not to mention..when I contacted the manager-Matt to ask about these transactions..I was treated like I was some low life customer! This was my 1st time at this club and I know that I will NEVER go back after this! Matt is a RUDE MANAGER who should not be in charge at that club. I cannot believe an owner would allow someone like Matt to be over their business/club. He will do nothing more than drive customers away. Mark my words on that! I will not stop at this review on letting others know about what has happened. I feel that its the customers right to know exactly what they will be put through and exactly how they will be treated by the companies employees. I would drive out of town before I would EVER go to this club in Birmingham. Take my advice everyone and go somewhere else! A lot less hassle and you wont have the issues with your bank calling you to shut your card down because so many pending charges have been placed on your card by this one business.

Not upbeat or fun at all. Almost everyone working there has a reason why they are doing this right now or they make sure you know that despite working at a place like this they are smarter/better than you. Its very apparent that they all despise you but are trying REALLY hard not to show it. The only things that can you can really accomplish here are getting completely inebriated and, of course, spending a TON of money. BTW anyone comparing this place to anywhere in Vegas has clearly never, ever, ever been to LV.

Dancers had no energy. One girl didnt even move while she was on the stage just basically stood there. The bartender didnt even know my drink that i wanted and when we finally got it it tasted horrible. The dancers went straight to topless with no teasing going on or none of that sort. Need bigger/taller poles. Girls didnt dance to music or get excited about dancing. (Thats how you make your money) I could have done a better job in the dress i was wearing.

Awesome night. Looks like a top shelf gentlemans club in Vegas. Food was really really good, had a steak and nachos, even the grilled vegetables tasted fresh. It was the dancer Rubys birthday and we really enjoyed getting to know her. Everyone from the bouncers to the restroom attendant were really professional.

The girls look good but they are to busy either eating or on their phones to interact with the customers. Been like that for over an hour. Tip when they are on the stage barely get a thank you
