The Rainbow Cabaret (Closed Permanently)

Went last night and it was not only embarrassingly bad, it was criminal! This place needs to be gutted and redone or just knocked down by a team of bulldozers. Entering through the rickety front doors was a laugh--the outer door is nearly falling off and the inner door is some pretense of a security door made of plywood and a pipe. Sloping floors make for awkward navigation in the nearly total darkness. Halfway to the lockerroom was an area of worn out sofas with a leaking roof where water poured in. The lockers themselves were ALL broken and not to be trusted for safely storing any valuables. Non-functional urinals, showers, and other "sanitation" fixtures look as though the mantra here is "once it is broken don't ever fix it". Rude signs about "not providing maid service" show a hostile attitude toward paying clientele who are grossly overcharged, particularly when none of the money taken in is applied to maintenance. This is a sick and shameful example of just how bad Tampa can really be.

Quit going there several years back because it was such a wreck but after the Ybor facility closed we had nothing left but the two Drew Park clubs. Tampa Mens Club had extremely rude and insulting staff and is overpriced and fake, with nobody there. Rainbow Cabaret now is similarly empty. The roof is rotting through and leaking everywhere, collapsing onto the former TV area where they have spread plastic bags. Slip and fall hazard is amplified greatly on those sloping floors. Filth, decay, and total absence of even a bar of soap (or working lavatories and urinals) leave this place ready for the wrecking ball.

Any new updates on this place? Worth going?

Health Hazzard

I recently started going to the Rainbow Cabaret because the Your Resort and Spa closed down. I started going there 10 yrs ago when the first opened up and it was a busy place with a nice staff. But sadly none of the money the place was making got reinvested so the place went down hill quickly but just how far down I had no idea. When I went back a couple months ago I was amazed just how bad it had gotten and dangerous, but I'll get to that in a minute. The once friendly staff has been replaced with a staff of very unhappy, rude lazy people that would not know good customers service if they were slapped in the face with it. And speak to customers in a very down grading almost abusive way. But as for the place it's self, well in all honesty it should be shut down as a health Hazzard. Anybody with half a brain would realize that while running a business that promotes anal sex and the releasing of body fluids that extra sanitation measures would need to be taken. But not this place. This place has recently removed all soap dispensers from the promises because people were using too much. I can think of no place than a bathhouse that would need soap more. And the staff there is lazy and takes absolutely no pride nor concern that the amount of filth that has accumulated over the last ten years is now actually a health Hazzard. Bad enough that I myself had gotten a staph infection twice from going there. So patron beware..this is absolutely a place that should have a sign posted Enter at your own risk.

Not interested

Went there last night after party. Door was fell off. When I went inside other door was plywood. Looked dirty so I left. Not interest in spend money in trashy place.
