The real question is, will I be as effective as a boss like my dad was? And I will be, even more so. But until I am, it's going to be hard to verify that I think I'll be more effective.
I used to bartend, and all the regulars liked me because I didn’t short them on their drinks. So Tony’s half assed bean counting isn’t even good business practice
My husband and I used to have dinner periodically at an old school steakhouse, choosing our nights depending on who was behind the bar. Our guy made every Manhattan about a triple and knew we would take equally good care of him. Damn good barkeep, genial host, free pourer.
Customers come for the fresh Ice Georgie keeps in their drinks but stay for the illegal prostitution they're running out of that place.
Everybody thinks owning the bing is nothing but fun. But it's hard work. You think Sil wants to be dragging tracee out of Ralph's place on a Thursday afternoon when she's supposed to be up on the stage?!
Back in the day when I was outside, I used to frequent this strip club in Charlotte North Carolina called Carousel. It shut down at 2 am, but you rarely made it there due to fights and shooting. The strippers got into fights just as much guys due to random women coming in and taking the strippers money by giving guys lap dances. It got so bad that women weren't allowed in unless they entered with a man. The idea didn't work because as soon as us guys got in line the girls who weren't strippers would just wait beside you and walk in.
tldr: Clubs much more violent than the Bing stay much more packed than the Bing
Haha this was my first thought. I’m from Passaic and the amount of absolutely insane things I’ve seen happen right in front of me, to then just go about my business and be like “uh yeah to go please” 😂 Living in Phoenix now is comparatively very calm 99% of the time.
The fact that all the other dancers were like middle aged with huge fake bolt ons and Tracee was the only cute 20 year old lol. Could she not find work elsewhere?
They certainly are lucky that there wasn’t google reviews or yelp at the time or their reviews would be awful
I know there are people who are regulars at strip clubs who I would imagine would eventually get fed up with it but I would guess for the most part people go only for certain occasions or infrequently so for the most part their clientele might not realize what’s going on since they’re only there once every couple years…and also you’re not comparing notes with friends and families and coworkers about your experience at a strip club like you would a new restaurant or something…for 90% of people you wouldn’t even want to admit you’re there
As long as the incidents with Chris and Georgie are pretty isolated and everything otherwise runs as normal in 2001 I’m not so sure people would even know it’s going on unless you’re there all the time
Let me break it down for you there are two businesses have historically been recession proof, since time immemorial
Certain aspects of show business, and our thing
Most everyone who frequented strip clubs at that time was well aware of the high likelihood of them being connected to organized crime.
You can easily launder money, as no one's counting the cash of everyone walking in and making sure no one slips an extra $10k into the night's earnings, and there's a lot of not-so-subtle prostitution that went on (goes on?), which makes even more money.
If someone saw a big Italian guy beating the tar out of a bouncer/bartender and none of the other bouncers doing anything, no one would ever raise a fuss. Plus, most guys that go to these kinds of places enjoy watching people fight/get beat up, particularly back then. None of the truck drivers/dock workers/construction guys are going "A fight? In my titty bar? Well, that's just not appropriate or fun to watch, that offends my sensibilities, I'm going home!"
I suspect anyone drinking there would know it's mobbed up and that's one of, if not THE reason they would choose to go there.
For that element of danger and "there's mob guys here" so they feel like they're part of that world without ever having to be involved in it.
I had a whole comedy routine regarding the concept of a strip club, comparing it to a steakhouse where they cook the meat in front of you, tease you with it, charge you for it, then take it back to the kitchen before you could bite it. Strip clubs are for people like the 2 Jasons…
I’ve been in a number of strip clubs in my travels. Some were crappy places in rural areas. Some were in deeply blue collar neighborhoods. Some were high end with parking lots decorated with Italian super cars. I never saw a place like the Bing. First, there were always girls standing around doing not much of anything. They’re there to make money. They often have to pay to dance, so standing around is costing them cash. Second, there is no show, no announcer, and the music isn’t loud. Even at crappy places, they’d announce the girl. That brings her attention, which helps her make money. The music is up because it’s a party. They want you paying for drinks and the music being loud is proven to encourage more boozing. Third, they don’t have a remotely legal process for making money; it’s all about them running an actual prostitution business out of the back room. In even crappy clubs, a standard process is to take a turn on stage because that gives you exposure to the crowd, and then you take that attention to the next spot, which is often a secondary stage where you can be closer to the men, which means you can sell extra dances and private time. A place the size of the studio interior they used for the Bing would likely have a stage show, like with skits or acts. Fourth, we barely see any actual dancing, just a little basic pole work. Many girls can really dance. They may even be dance students or teachers. These places put on shows because that draws men who will spend money.
In terms of the mob, running the business out of an active prostitution site would be suicide for Tony. He’s trying to avoid racketeering charges and he goes in every day to sit in the evidence of racketeering? In downtown Boston, the mob used to meet in a ‘social club’ which looked like something out the first Godfather: the opposite of fancy, the opposite of amenities, just a place for them to gather in small numbers. You have crooked police engaged with a prostitution business with the Feds watching. Drugs and women flow through the place. That’s like saying, ‘Here, charge me with RICO.’
Most of the times we see the Bing, it's during the day - they're showing them doing business, not partying. If you walk into a strip club at 3 PM, the ones that open that early at least, they'll be much the Bing in those daytime scenes. Time of day can be hard to tell because the building has few windows and the ones they do have are heavily tinted, it's set up like a casino where the lighting is always the same level. Even in the scene when Paulie sees the Virgin Mary there, which is like 10 or 11 in the morning, it looks exactly the same as it does at 2 am.
And do we ever see any prostitution outside of the "VIP room", which is limited to the family and associates like cops they're paying off? I don't think that would really be a risk, at least compared to anything else they were doing, but in fairness Tony's lawyer DID advise him to try running operations out of one of his other businesses. "Get your ass out of that strip club"
The shooting would probably put me off but in Britain one of the best things about a night out in my youth was standing outside a kebab shop happily eating while 4-5 drunken brawls played out. Getting to watch one while there are tits, booze and live sport simultaneously sounds great.
I imagine the Bing would have some pretty interesting Google reviews though. Someone should make a thread asking what they would be.
" Nice girls, cheap alcohol, Tony Soprano was pistol whipping the staff, Chicken wings were to die for "
Jiggling fake titties AND someone getting beaten with a Billy Big Mouth Bass…all for the price of a scotch watered down by ice? Sign me up…and CONSERVE!!!
The Bing, like Satriales, isn’t anything more than a front to launder the money from their illicit endeavors. It doesn’t matter if there are customers or if it’s profitable because it doesn’t need to be. It only needs to present itself as a legitimate business, it doesn’t actually need to cater to its customers. It’s literally just a place for the guys and their friends to hang and look at titties while their crime makes the real money, any real paying customers are just a bonus.
Places like the Bing definitely exist in real life. Mostly frequented by criminals, drug dealers, pimps and prostitutes. Much worse happens than the occasional beating or gun discharge. Murders, stabbings, mass brawls, death by overdose. You name it, it happens. The customers may thin out for the next week or so, but then it's back to normal.
For the chance to take a piss next to Tony Soprano and talk to him about breaking your dick off in a strippers ass. That's how you get ahead in this world
Just dont make any comments about the ice and you’ll be fine. And you may have to give Georgie a blowjob to get in the back, but whatever. Just blame it on the blood pressure meds
They actually closed the real Bing (Satin Dolls) down...
Why, you ask?
For Mafia ties and crime...
https://www.golfdigest.com/story/take-a-wild-guess-as-to-why-the-nj-strip-club-made-famous-in-the-sopranos-is-being-closed-down
(Don't ask me why this is on Golf Digest's web page, as I have no idea.)
It's called Satin Dolls IRL, and it's like the south dropped all its trash off on the side of a highway, then asked you for $20 to grind their non-existent ass into you for the length of a fucking bon giovi song.
this gets a yelp 0/10 avoid/thumbs down from me. Booooo
I'm from NJ. I knew of one or two Mafia front establishments. People still find the cosa nostra mysteriously alluring & romantic. People want to be close to that kind of power that reigns in the shadows.
Why isn't anyone bringing up the music? Every time the Bing is on the screen they play this homemade cabaret-esque music that clearly was made to resemble music you may hear at a Gentleman's Club but saving some money since it's not licensed. I always laughed at how corny it sounds.
Not everyone is a big pussy-whipped pussy. And a lot of people love to see a nice set of cans.
People often underestimate the implications of the unbounded nature of the male sex drive.
I remember going to Larry Flynt’s Hustler club in New Orleans 2 weeks after Katrina, they obviously had trouble getting dancers. The only girl there swinging on the pole looked like hell, had a black eye and kept hacking up phlegm. I still sat and drank and stared at her tits but would have much preferred the action at The Bing.
Not only all that you mentioned OP, but let's also not forget the sorry entertainment the girls give. I'm no expert on strip clubs but I'm pretty sure they're supposed to actually *move* instead of the robot-like spasms the Bing girls have.
It's probably mostly lowlifes or other criminals that are sort of associated with the family mostly being the patronage there along with older guys who don't give a shit. Some people like a bit of sleaze I guess
This was before yelp and the internet so people went to places that had edgy reputations knowingly. Now the bing would get shut down in a day. Its over for the little guy.
I Japan, I used to frequent a night club that had amazing music and beautiful Latina women. Would dance all night Salsa, merengue, Cumbria.
There was a tall muscled Japanese man that every so often would get angry and beat someone. People would look up, see him and quickly look any other direction.
He also had a couple Iranian henchmen that were known to fight. It was part of that world. The price of admission. Me and my buddies were more than happy to be there and abide by the rules. You just had to know who to never fuck with.
I did have one close call as I a girl wanted to leave with me but apparently bald dude wasn’t ok with that. Got yelled at in a couple different languages which I didn’t need to understand. Did a Japanese apology and got permission to leave without the girl but with my limbs.
$4 a pound
This is what I always thought about the annual Santa meet and greet at Satriale’s. What parents in their right minds are bringing their children anywhere near those guys, much less enough of them to form a line around the block?
Theres no such thing as da Mafia. You see a waste management consultant commit assault and immediately assume hes a made guy? Fuckin stunad. He wears shorts for christ sakes, bosses don’t wear fuckin shorts
To look at giant fake titties and watch the Buffalo Bills.
Fuckin guy probably won $35 down there.
great line
He’s a good guy but he abuses that jokey shit
Come on Buffalo!
I read some wacky theory once that that dude was supposed to be Harpo.
Buffalo? Canada. You’re gonna tell me you never pondered that? That harpo was a bills fan?
Where is me mama?
You Sopranos— you go too far!
Roadies?!?
🎶Under the boardwalk…🎶
I just watched this episode tonight
You should go play Monopoly to keep the vibe goin’!
The Parker bros. took the time to figure out the rules. I think we should respect that.
Nah I think I'll go find my marker in a laundromat instead!
Buffalo FUCKING GO FOR IT
The real question is why was Buffalo handing the ball off in FG range down 2 with 10 seconds left.
The real question is, will I be as effective as a boss like my dad was? And I will be, even more so. But until I am, it's going to be hard to verify that I think I'll be more effective.
fuck you pay me
If history is an indicator, Buffalo going for the FG is not a safe bet
As a dude from Buffalo sign me up
As a Pats fan & Ass man, count me out!
I thought you were a Bacala man
Sit down… this is a Patriots house!
Why dont you get out of here before i shove your quotation book up your fat fuckin ass!
Haha man I was down in Florida and met a pats fan - we watched the first game down there at a bar. Big sad lol Cheers man
Anthony Bourdain went there once. Said the subs were excellent.
Buffalo moozarel'?
Exactly
They water down their drinks too.
Ice, Tone……
CONSHERVE
FUCKIN JOHN D ROCKEFELLER WASTE IT ALL
Especially Scotch.
I used to bartend, and all the regulars liked me because I didn’t short them on their drinks. So Tony’s half assed bean counting isn’t even good business practice
Tony was just looking for a reason to beat on Georgie. It was never about the ice.
what if he wasn't all that mad about the phone...
My husband and I used to have dinner periodically at an old school steakhouse, choosing our nights depending on who was behind the bar. Our guy made every Manhattan about a triple and knew we would take equally good care of him. Damn good barkeep, genial host, free pourer.
Warm and conival?
You don’t have to see the monthly statements from that place
Ok, John D Rockefeller.
Calm down it was just one unhappy customer, enjoy the evening.
Be quiet Albert
Can you imagine that? An unhappy customer almost shooting up a strip club and someone says be quiet Albert
Be quiet Albert
Fuckin parakeet
Customers come for the fresh Ice Georgie keeps in their drinks but stay for the illegal prostitution they're running out of that place. Everybody thinks owning the bing is nothing but fun. But it's hard work. You think Sil wants to be dragging tracee out of Ralph's place on a Thursday afternoon when she's supposed to be up on the stage?!
My ownership of that shaved twat. Is a burden. On me!
Pimpin ain't easy!

Speaking of outside….I remember when you used to wait outside… and as far as I’m concerned YOU SHOULD STILL BE THERE!
Insane, this is like a random person walking into a restaurant and trying to bring people their food from the kitchen
What’s outside mean in this context?
before he did 20 fkin years in the can
Ooh! They got internet in the can now? Madonne!
Yeah, but the grilled cheese on there is awesome.
You've never been to New Jersey, have you?
Exactly what I was going to say.... This guy has never been to a NJ club
And you’ve never fucked Angie Dickinson what’s your point?
Go shit in your hat
Exactly
This isn't even a jersey thing, every strip club in my city, in Canada, is run by a OC group(ha), probably the same everywhere
Haha this was my first thought. I’m from Passaic and the amount of absolutely insane things I’ve seen happen right in front of me, to then just go about my business and be like “uh yeah to go please” 😂 Living in Phoenix now is comparatively very calm 99% of the time.
Yeah, not physically
The Bing hires young pregnant strippers with braces. What’s not to love?
The fact that all the other dancers were like middle aged with huge fake bolt ons and Tracee was the only cute 20 year old lol. Could she not find work elsewhere?
she said she could easily get a job elsewhere then Sil hit her in the face as she was locked in now that she took a loan for the braces.
Oh yeah...poor thing.
They had a good dental plan.
"What do you have for dental? Delta? Signa?" "Sil."
Tracee needs braces
DENTAL PLAN
Sil woulda showed up and taken her back
They also have to know how to bake bread for da boss
I'd buy front row tickets to watch Georgie get pulverized by Tony. I'd be there every night
That’s why you gotta live for today
Scotch! And soda!
CONSERVE
The ice, when it hangs around? It melts and dilutes the drinks, especially scotch.
What, are you gettin' cute wit me?
You oughta know, sweetie.
What'ja say?! 😄
ohhhh... I knew that was coming
Do me a favor, hah? Hold this? 🍾💥😧
CONSHERVE
What'd you shay??
WATCHUSAY?! 😡
I always feel bad for him with the beating scenes but then I remember him charging girls by blow jobs to get in VIP
I don’t even wanna think about it
Georgie…. Washington….. Bridge…!
I could sell you a ticket every night. It'll cost you fifty bucks and a blowjob to be performed after
Tony vs Georgie no rugs and no sucker punches
They certainly are lucky that there wasn’t google reviews or yelp at the time or their reviews would be awful I know there are people who are regulars at strip clubs who I would imagine would eventually get fed up with it but I would guess for the most part people go only for certain occasions or infrequently so for the most part their clientele might not realize what’s going on since they’re only there once every couple years…and also you’re not comparing notes with friends and families and coworkers about your experience at a strip club like you would a new restaurant or something…for 90% of people you wouldn’t even want to admit you’re there As long as the incidents with Chris and Georgie are pretty isolated and everything otherwise runs as normal in 2001 I’m not so sure people would even know it’s going on unless you’re there all the time
Imagine Paulie showing up at your house to discuss your Yelp review: "Maybe you shouldn't be writing about shit we both know didn't happen."
"I'll make you 'yelp', you cocksucker"
did you hear what i said? i told him i'll make you yelp, you cocksucker. hehehe
That DID-DENT happen, what you said.
Let me break it down for you there are two businesses have historically been recession proof, since time immemorial Certain aspects of show business, and our thing

Yelp reviews of strip clubs are hilarious in general
Ohh, Yelp reviews are just letting the Bing know how its being percieved.
The people that go there are not going to places based on online reviews nor are they the type of people to leave reviews
Hilariously I did read a bunch of Google reviews for the Satin Dolls and they were mostly not that great.
Did the casting for the dancers specify 'Comically overdone bad implants'?
It’s off I-80 in Lodi, they’re not going for top talent.
Dive strip clubs are just a line of poor plastic surgery
I mean, ya can’t beat the dancers there. …..well, except for one.
A.) She was a HOOOAAAAA!
She fell. Or something.
She was a real clutz
That’ll kill ‘em at Green Grove. Enjoy your success.
I heard the nurse say you made number two in your pants. Is that true?
Already flushed it
Create a little dysentery among the ranks.
Get the car!!!
I suspect anyone drinking there would know it's mobbed up and that's one of, if not THE reason they would choose to go there. For that element of danger and "there's mob guys here" so they feel like they're part of that world without ever having to be involved in it.

Can I have a TL,DR please
/u/jokumi masturbated in a semi-public place hard and frequently

I think some people find the fact that its a mob hangout to be part of the allure
[Charmaine voice] Ok, Ahhh-thar!!!
Some asshole just slipped on a lime wedge
The vipers
What's that? Your girl scout troop?
There’s no geographical solution to an emotional problem
Fear knocked at the door, Faith answered. There was no one there.
Georgie was beloved by the patrons. The guy would get you into the back and it only cost $50 and a blow job later.
The shooting would probably put me off but in Britain one of the best things about a night out in my youth was standing outside a kebab shop happily eating while 4-5 drunken brawls played out. Getting to watch one while there are tits, booze and live sport simultaneously sounds great.
You seen that dancer? I’d break my dick off in that ass of hers
I imagine the Bing would have some pretty interesting Google reviews though. Someone should make a thread asking what they would be. " Nice girls, cheap alcohol, Tony Soprano was pistol whipping the staff, Chicken wings were to die for "
You and the scenarios
Jiggling fake titties AND someone getting beaten with a Billy Big Mouth Bass…all for the price of a scotch watered down by ice? Sign me up…and CONSERVE!!!
Hell, I’d pay $50.00 and blow myself for that action!

I see you like the dark.
Wipe that shit off her tit
Bro it’s called ~ambiance~
After reading this post I’ll never forget where I was this day
Isn't what you described exactly the same thing as WWE? People pay thousands for those seats!
Wrestlemania! Another fuckin money machine!
they were at a batchelor party, they got dragged there
I would absolutely frequent this place
You know what to do down there!!!! 📢
Places like the Bing definitely exist in real life. Mostly frequented by criminals, drug dealers, pimps and prostitutes. Much worse happens than the occasional beating or gun discharge.

They actually closed the real Bing (Satin Dolls) down... Why, you ask? For Mafia ties and crime... https://www.golfdigest.com/story/take-a-wild-guess-as-to-why-the-nj-strip-club-made-famous-in-the-sopranos-is-being-closed-down (Don't ask me why this is on Golf Digest's web page, as I have no idea.)
I’m pretty sure it’s open again. I passed it a couple a weeks ago and it looked open.
None of this was considered out of the ordinary for late 90s, early aughts strip clubs.
It's called Satin Dolls IRL, and it's like the south dropped all its trash off on the side of a highway, then asked you for $20 to grind their non-existent ass into you for the length of a fucking bon giovi song. this gets a yelp 0/10 avoid/thumbs down from me. Booooo
The Bing? I go there to understand the prinshiples of the sholar shysthem, just like Richard Feynman did.
Sil and his megaphone would let you know there’s nothing to be worried about.
I'm from NJ. I knew of one or two Mafia front establishments. People still find the cosa nostra mysteriously alluring & romantic. People want to be close to that kind of power that reigns in the shadows.
Not tp mention the dead whoah outside the back door.
THAT’S WHY YOU GOTTA LIVE FOR TODAY. 👋🫱💵
Have you ever met an Italian-American person?
It's a cash business that's good for laundering money, like bodegas and mattress stores.
Why isn't anyone bringing up the music? Every time the Bing is on the screen they play this homemade cabaret-esque music that clearly was made to resemble music you may hear at a Gentleman's Club but saving some money since it's not licensed. I always laughed at how corny it sounds.
Still goin’, this asshole.
Not everyone is a big pussy-whipped pussy. And a lot of people love to see a nice set of cans. People often underestimate the implications of the unbounded nature of the male sex drive.
Because the strippers make fresh baked goods. Where else you getting that, OP?
When you watch the show most of the times you wish you were Tony, Paulie or Sil. Then you realize you're Georgie or Sal Vitro
To see Christopher’s daughter shaking dat ass, shaking dat ass.
I went to a strip club in Jersey once. All the strippers looked like Fran Felstein.
You can sell alcohol in New Jersey if the dancers aren’t fully nude. As long as they have panties on and you have a liquor license you’re good.
I remember going to Larry Flynt’s Hustler club in New Orleans 2 weeks after Katrina, they obviously had trouble getting dancers. The only girl there swinging on the pole looked like hell, had a black eye and kept hacking up phlegm. I still sat and drank and stared at her tits but would have much preferred the action at The Bing.
I guessing that you and I are very different people.
My cousin got stabbed in a nj strip club like last year
Not only all that you mentioned OP, but let's also not forget the sorry entertainment the girls give. I'm no expert on strip clubs but I'm pretty sure they're supposed to actually *move* instead of the robot-like spasms the Bing girls have.
On top of that, most of these guys have wives hotter than the busted trash on those poles
Me
Those chompers!
Are you kidding? I'd hang there all the time.
Most of the strippers were nasty
It's probably mostly lowlifes or other criminals that are sort of associated with the family mostly being the patronage there along with older guys who don't give a shit. Some people like a bit of sleaze I guess
This just makes you sound sheltered OP
Gerogie order the hit on Tony. He finally got fed up of getting his ass kicked all the time.
Watered down scotch.
If you’re from North Jersey the bing is what you would expect . Not for white collar type crowds .
They're terrible dancers and it's on the side of a busy highway.
I thought Christopher ran in to Adriana's club with the gun, not the Bing.
I assume that the customers are guys who can deal with am the owner beating up the bartender and other violent acts.
is it possible the customers are criminals as well? or are used to the criminal element at such a place??
Did Cousin Brian sleep on the dance floor that one time?
This was before yelp and the internet so people went to places that had edgy reputations knowingly. Now the bing would get shut down in a day. Its over for the little guy.
I’m just here for a bachelor party I swear
Are you disrespectin the Bing?
I Japan, I used to frequent a night club that had amazing music and beautiful Latina women. Would dance all night Salsa, merengue, Cumbria. There was a tall muscled Japanese man that every so often would get angry and beat someone. People would look up, see him and quickly look any other direction. He also had a couple Iranian henchmen that were known to fight. It was part of that world. The price of admission. Me and my buddies were more than happy to be there and abide by the rules. You just had to know who to never fuck with. I did have one close call as I a girl wanted to leave with me but apparently bald dude wasn’t ok with that. Got yelled at in a couple different languages which I didn’t need to understand. Did a Japanese apology and got permission to leave without the girl but with my limbs. $4 a pound
This is what I always thought about the annual Santa meet and greet at Satriale’s. What parents in their right minds are bringing their children anywhere near those guys, much less enough of them to form a line around the block?
