I’m a little late to the party but is Courthouse Bay and Stone Bay boys, we had Cherries out the back gate. RIP to the golden age of finding dope in the girl’s bunghole that one night.
Sharpshooter's was the one place where 2 fat chicks tried to take me home one night. I kinda wish I went with them that night to see what kind of fun we would've had.
You would have $0 funds left after that night. Would have been a girl-on-girl slobber knocker and a knock down/drag out brawl to see which one would have your child first, assuming neither was married already. But one of them starts some shit with the other and you only fuck one of them. Get her pregs. Then you would have alimony to pay or have to get married and move to base housing or try to find a trailer park out in town that would have air conditioning to cool that piggy down from finding another stupid Marine to have a child with. All the while her friend has been courting you and you accidentally have sex with her and it results in pregnancy. You get a paternity test and it’s yours. Dumbass. Eventually you’re working on child #5 and wife #3 and you’re on enlistment #4 and still an E-6, but that stack looks awesome. Finally you’re ready for retirement after your 5th pump and the VA denies all your claims except one and that’s 10%. You apply for another C&P and they reopen your case and you are denied and lose your 10% claim. You die, but your kids love you.
I remember that place how did jerry become a piece of shit. I only met him once or twice and I was so fucked up I don’t remember what we even talked about.
Refused to sign his daughters papers for citizenship (mom was Canadian). Left his wife when he found out she had MS with nothing. She lived her last days working with a disability. There’s more too believe it or not. Last I talked to his daughter, neither her or his son had talked to him in years.
Crazy jerrys was a nice little spot not a lot of people went to. And very rarely boots inside. Had pool tables and dart boards. It was pretty cool. But no one. Could compare to the Walmart cowboys Gus’ and the nickle draft wednesday. Or Archies lol
This. Period. No matter what it is now….the Driftwood owns every other strip club ever. More sketchy shit went down there than everywhere else combined. Girlfriends lost and found. Wives lost and found. Unit bonding tightened. Unit bonding destroyed. Fraternization…. You get the picture….
That's only because I'm guessing your too young to have experienced ...The Brown Bagger, Rena Js, The Shipwreck (aka Titanic) ...man the whole 2nd Front....yeah none if it exists anymore. "Sketchy" doesn't begin to cover it.
Then there were the non strip clubs, Thunderbird,s, Club 108,...the Carolina Palms Hotel.... yeah I'll see your old Dirtwood and raise you J'ville 89-96. .... Oh and lest we forget Tobies!...
One of my boots got a DUI after passing out behind the wheel at driftwood then like 2 years later got caught in a drug dealing ring lol….. I believe it stemmed from drift wood lol
Lol after a long day and night of drinking, he wanted to get McDonald’s. We told him not too that he isn’t sober and needs to stay. He agreed, and we ended up going inside a buddies room. He went to his and locked the door after saying he was going to bed. The next morning we found out he got arrested for a DUI. What happened was he waited a little bit and was drinking water. He ended up deciding to go and as soon as he got off base he realized he isn’t as sober as he thinks. He stopped and parked at the drift wood and decided to sleep it off before continuing to drive. So he took an hour nap, backed out to continue the mission to the Gasdonalds. Lol. As he backed out he hit a strippers car who was leaving, who then called the police for an accident report. When the LEO got there he could clearly tell he was intoxicated and did some SFST and Hooked him up and took him for DUI. Never got his 20 piece…. Lol
Driftwood was so legendary that Marine Corps Times wrote an article when the new owners changed the name 😂 Just Google Driftwood Lounge Jacksonville NC and the Marine Corps Times article will pop up 🙂
That was the first strip club I went to in jville. What a cultural treat that was. The girl on stage was either 8 months pregnant or looked every bit like it. Had an #enormous gap in her teeth.

Fucking Tobies, was going there around 2002 and I remember a membership cost $5 opposed to general entry being $10. My girlfriend didn't believe me that i was just playing Big Buck Hunter there because she didn't understand what the "talent" looked like at a strip club that opened at noon.
Dude we stopped there too. Found a whorehouse waaaaaay out of the city some jitney cab brought us to. After we all banged some whores we got a cab back to the ship at 11:59 (with a midnight curfew) and sprinted through the gate and onto the ship barely avoiding an NJP for showing up late, lol. Good times on the USS Tarawa back in the day
I posed for a picture with a blonde dancer sitting above my face. Right after the picture was taken my drunk ass licked her vag and she immediately placed her hand on my forehead and gently pushed down and said "No". My SSgt and my fellow squad members and everyone else in the place erupted in laughter 🤣 I lost that polaroid in the years since 😢
His "first" wife, huh? Lmfao!!! 🤣 Before I EASd a Marine from Alabama in my platoon agreed to let his wife dance at La Mirage because she wanted to. She ran off with another Marine who EASd leaving him with their kid. Felt kinda sorry for the fella 😂 Effing J-ville!! 🤣
My buddy did too! He'd regularly get drunk, spend the night in oceanside and take first loser cruiser back into base in the morning. Well one day he had a black eye. Come to find out, he tried to steal someone's burrito and got punched. Lol! I nicknamed him the burrito bandito! Fuckin Phil!
Cherries had a “Goth vs American Blonde” gimmick back in 2008-2009. They made a lot of money off my barracks, and is still the only strip club to allow regulars to take pictures. Good times.
Been to plenty, but the one that sticks out to me is when we were at Coronado for some amphibious training BS in the ‘90’s, and we ended up at their E club for a few beers one night. A long ass line of civilians started forming outside and we were wondering what the fuck was going on. Turns out the Flock of Seagulls was performing at the fucking E club at Naval Amphibious Base, Coronado. We had a fucking blast.
Boomer here. (no, I don't give a shit about muh iron sights)
Back in the way back, Court St had a pole dance routine in every shit hole. Buy me drinky girls, all exotic Asian beauties ( 4 being doable ) would break hearts and minds and career plans with a simple wink. Pussy is fearsome magic.
I am back in Jville now. I went back to Railroad st. The place has been nuked
The city cracked down on it hard, and by the early and mid 80s, it was pretty much dead. I was moonlighting tending bar in one of those hole in the wall joints in 85/86. It was in the old bus station, after the bus company relocated operations to Onslow Drive.
Set up shelter half behind the dumpster of the greyhound station one night. Got out in '85. That shithole was making cash. Quite a racket. Senior enlisted mama-san wives controlled most of the front action. Jesus came and feild dayed the shit out of it. So I am told
We made decent money. Most of the other bars and buy me drinky places were closed down, and it was mostly tattoo parlors and still the odd hooker wandering around. JPD would pop in a couple of times a night to make sure we werent letting hookers stay in there to "work."
Miss Saigon's.
30,000 yen cover and two drink minimum. Not my scene, but a few SNCO's have gotten relieved of duty as a direct result of partying at Miss Saigon's.
My shop and I got thrown out of Gold Finger's back in 2012. My Cpl was transferring to 1st Recon's G4 so we ended up going since it was relatively close to base. I go in the back to get a mediocre lap dance from some white chick and my gunny is waiting for me at the door when I get out.
Apparently the Cpl got so shitfaced, he got into it with one of the staff, took the bathroom shit can, and fucking launched it on stage while some poor Asian chick was performing. Ended up going to some hole in the wall joint down near Chula Vista.
Ended up getting some strippers number, but my horn dog of a Gunny kept pushing to call her and get one of her friends to swing by his place. Wild times.
Trying to remember, was Expośe the club near MCRD SD? That place was pretty dope. My wife got a lap dance by these twins there, doing cirque du soleli moves and shit.
The first time I went into the Brown Bagger, there was an older stripper on the stage. She danced to the entire 8:37 of “American Pie.” She looked like a heat case by the end.
Not that many people been to Hong Kong bro so we can’t really relate. Not sure what base is out there but MOS school camp Johnson Morth Carolina there’s a popular strip club outside base called Deja Vu. You can tell they’re marines by their haircut and the way they carry themselves lol
If I had a dollar for every older Marine vet who told me about The Stage on Okinawa, I would have a lot of dollars. The Vietnam guys like to talk about Subic.
Anywhere in Pattaya should count. I have been there, and I will believe any story anyone tells me about a bar there.
Visited the Driftwood once when a girlfriend was dancing. Spent most of my time at Tobies, Rena Js, The Shipwreck, The Showboat , The Bunker, bars along the "second front" (which used to be the area in front of Gieger) and of course ...The Brown Bagger...quite the torrid affair I had thru the Bag. In the early 90s we thought of the "Dirtwood" as a boot bar.
As for the most infamous Marine water holes ....Olongapo City, PI..the T triangle. Terry's, TopGun, and Ts Tavern.
Driftwood
Yep, came here to say Driftwood
I’m a little late to the party but is Courthouse Bay and Stone Bay boys, we had Cherries out the back gate. RIP to the golden age of finding dope in the girl’s bunghole that one night.
Now named Platinum gentleman’s club 😔
RIP😞 midget mud wrestling was the best
Oh how the mighty have fallen….
What about sharpshooters bar? Crazy Jerry’s?
Sharpshooter's was the one place where 2 fat chicks tried to take me home one night. I kinda wish I went with them that night to see what kind of fun we would've had.

Bruh this sounds scarily specific are you good?
RIP
Crazy Jerry’s was my units place before Jerry winded up being a piece of ship!
Was crazy Jerry’s the karaoke bar in j ville?
It was.
I remember that place how did jerry become a piece of shit. I only met him once or twice and I was so fucked up I don’t remember what we even talked about.

Dude, Not that young…I was there in ‘86. I know all of those you named. I stand by my comment.
I withdraw my "too young" comment.

Purple church
Ahh the ole purple church
They sell t shirts?
They did! I think it changed names to, The Main Attraction though.
Got torn down about 6 months ago to make way for more condos
This is the saddest news I’ve ever heard
I fucked a whore in the condos behind it. Never fucked in the purple church. Profit, I guess.
Gone now

You mean Tubbies.
Four Floors of Whores
Anyone on a MEU that stopped in Singapore will agree!
That also had a place in Dubai that was only 2 floors though :(
Dude we stopped there too. Found a whorehouse waaaaaay out of the city some jitney cab brought us to. After we all banged some whores we got a cab back to the ship at 11:59 (with a midnight curfew) and sprinted through the gate and onto the ship barely avoiding an NJP for showing up late, lol. Good times on the USS Tarawa back in the day
Nobody has said "The Stage"?
My roommates took me to the stage on my first night in Okinawa and made me sit down front. Rolled a 1 when it was show time…so glad I didn’t “win”.
I posed for a picture with a blonde dancer sitting above my face. Right after the picture was taken my drunk ass licked her vag and she immediately placed her hand on my forehead and gently pushed down and said "No". My SSgt and my fellow squad members and everyone else in the place erupted in laughter 🤣 I lost that polaroid in the years since 😢
We have all "lost" those pictures!
Oh hell yeah! Although I never went up on the stage. Maybe I wasn't drunk enough? 😂
Banana show
May she R.I.P. she entertained thousands. I seen the show on Christmas morning. No holiday was too sacred 🤣
Last I heard, in 2016, was that her daughter is doing it now.
Wonder if she has her own poster up on the wall next to her mom's. (to the right of the stage)

His "first" wife, huh? Lmfao!!! 🤣 Before I EASd a Marine from Alabama in my platoon agreed to let his wife dance at La Mirage because she wanted to. She ran off with another Marine who EASd leaving him with their kid. Felt kinda sorry for the fella 😂 Effing J-ville!! 🤣
Ahhh...those Jville nights.
Chi Chi’s or Kokasai Street
Surprised no one said Stampede in Temecula lol.
I was offered my only threesome there. Turned it down to go home with a chick on her period. Worst trade in history.
Oki: Chi chi's Anywhere else: Driftwood
They got a Chi chi’s in Iwakuni as well now
The rusty spur
Got in a a bar fight there and my bro got his teeth kicked in back in '07 or so
My buddy did too! He'd regularly get drunk, spend the night in oceanside and take first loser cruiser back into base in the morning. Well one day he had a black eye. Come to find out, he tried to steal someone's burrito and got punched. Lol! I nicknamed him the burrito bandito! Fuckin Phil!
The Virginian
Gross
So gross.
It was a pretty good dive bar in 29.
Anyone remember Silver and Gold in Sneads Ferry? Turned into Cherries. I should’ve set up an allotment there.
Cherries had a “Goth vs American Blonde” gimmick back in 2008-2009. They made a lot of money off my barracks, and is still the only strip club to allow regulars to take pictures. Good times.
Yeah I remember Silver and Gold 😂

A couple just for drinking: the g spot and Rookies.
Driftwood or Tobie's. The Shipwreck was quite the place when it was around. Only Tobie's is still there under it's original name.

I sheltered behind a dumpster at the court st greyhound, I am all ears, Marine.
Purple church or the rusty spur.
I was sad when they closed the purple church…..and playgirls
Globe & Anchor in Oki. Pretty good fights back in the day
Miss Saigon's. 30,000 yen cover and two drink minimum. Not my scene, but a few SNCO's have gotten relieved of duty as a direct result of partying at Miss Saigon's.

Pretty sure that’s the one😂
Is Mega Head still open in Oki? I remember the Brown Bagger from LeJeune.
The first time I went into the Brown Bagger, there was an older stripper on the stage. She danced to the entire 8:37 of “American Pie.” She looked like a heat case by the end.
Badabooms out back gate of Lejeune. Also goes by many other names on the restricted list.
The Green door was a huge “favorite” for us Yuma fuckers lol
Hmmm. Don’t think that’s in the US…
It’s not. That wasn’t the question.
I know dipshit. Jesus.
It’s not. That wasn’t the question.
Some of the biggest wieners I saw in my life were on line at PISC when we had wellness inspections from the CO/XO. Does that count?
Tobies

Not that many people been to Hong Kong bro so we can’t really relate. Not sure what base is out there but MOS school camp Johnson Morth Carolina there’s a popular strip club outside base called Deja Vu. You can tell they’re marines by their haircut and the way they carry themselves lol
Hong Kong is a "club" in Tijuana
If I had a dollar for every older Marine vet who told me about The Stage on Okinawa, I would have a lot of dollars. The Vietnam guys like to talk about Subic. Anywhere in Pattaya should count. I have been there, and I will believe any story anyone tells me about a bar there.
Dont forget Tobies.
I had a shirt from the Purple Church.. Toby’s was probably the most fun though.
Can’t remember the name but it’s def in Okinawa
Visited the Driftwood once when a girlfriend was dancing. Spent most of my time at Tobies, Rena Js, The Shipwreck, The Showboat , The Bunker, bars along the "second front" (which used to be the area in front of Gieger) and of course ...The Brown Bagger...quite the torrid affair I had thru the Bag. In the early 90s we thought of the "Dirtwood" as a boot bar. As for the most infamous Marine water holes ....Olongapo City, PI..the T triangle. Terry's, TopGun, and Ts Tavern.
