Obsessions review
Traditionally the home of the wastrel, the socially backward and the computer programmer, the up market strip bar has become rather like an over friendly drunken uncle at Christmas reunions. Often seen as an embarrassment, no one likes to talk about them and yet they don’t do anything legally wrong, but sometimes you can think they are a bit morally unsound.

This is not the case with the newest gig in town, Obsession, hopefully not named after the overpowering 80’s scent of the same name. But with a similar feel to it.

As you enter the place dark reds and blacks with intricacies of gold lacquer, adorn 80’s style walls, with matching dark ruby red velvet booths to match the feel.

The drinks at a reasonable £5 but meant to be high enough to stop the cheaper beer buying element, is waitress served, immaculately tidied up, and just about justifies the price tag.

The drinking area, has a pole in the middle of the bar, for individual dancers, for intimacy, but only seems to makes buyers self conscious about buying drinks and dancers whilst the principle of the separate seating areas for lap dancing has been created to take away the ‘everyone has a free dance’ fun of more relaxed places.

The girls: are girls and nice enough with a full range for the discerning eye, mainly being home grown talent and natural and so depending on your tastes, you do wonder where the fantasy and fun has gone from obsession.

However, they have only just opened, and with the management open to new ideas and with just opened truly lovely VIP area for the slightly better healed young gent, this gentlemen’s club could come up smelling like ‘the one’ rather than Blue Stratos.

Came to Manchester from Cork for an extended weekend and visited Obsessions (and numerous other bars!). Lots of nice girls and a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and good music. Girls were not too pushy for a dance (although at £20 a bit expensive) and were nice about it if you declined them. Had been to Long Legs in Chinatown the day before and found the girls nice with some real stunners but the ones that were free that I encountered were far too pushy for a dance and sarcastic with it when you declined them. I danced with some Liverpool girls Jasmine and another I cannot remember and was told it was £20 a dance when I asked the price as never been before. Later found out it was only £10 when I danced with another girl. When I later asked the Liverpool girl about the price being £20 she turned really nasty and told me to F-off so I wont be going back there again! It put a downer on the night. Its sad to see a nice looking girl, particularly with big boobs, let down by a terrible personality. Never had any problems in Obsessions, girls and staff were great and had a really great night. Will definately be back on my next business trip.

I work in Obsessions for a few weeks now. At first it was a bit slow but now I make £500-£600 a night at £20 a dance. It’s a really great place to work. Yes, you have to a certain type of slut to work here but the money is good. The male manager is more relaxed, better you audition with him. Obessions is a great place to work in as at £20 we earn more money in dance prices than other bars.

went obsessions on thursday night and fell in love with a girl think her name was shavoun. she was really nice didn't pressure me into having dances and got on with her really well. I kept asking for her number but no luck she wouldn't have any of it. But still had a good time. I highly recommend coming to this joint really nice girls and staff. Top marks!

Oh i find it ammusing how jealous girls like to slag off the better dancers and and prettiest girls...FUNNY how they never say it 2 ur face when ur in the changing room or on the floor, maybe its coz their 2 faced, ugly, jealous, unfortunate children with no lives and no futures!!! Maybe they should take a look in the mirror and analyse their own lives before slagging others with far better qualities and oppurtunities than they will ever have!!! it makes me laugh...Keep hatin the Best! HAHA loser

On reading the reviews i thought id add that I have had a dance of Destiny. I wasnt too bad but it didnt do anything for me either. There are much better looking women in obsessions, and better dancers, but, being no oil painting myself,i like chubby, average looking birds who dont make me feel ugly and out of place in a club full of babes, and destiny fits that bill just nicely

half an hour dances are 80 quid mate, 150 for an hour. you can ask the girls to dance as many times as you want, but they do need to have a bit of a break for a drink etc, plus you get the chance to chat them up!

I went to Obsessions 2 weeks ago, place is done up really good, there were 20 girls working so i couldnt complain about choice had a few dances, and it was great. One thing, they had a group of 4 d*ckheads in the place ballooning around, i asked the doorman to just as them to calm down but i was ignored, and i therefore told the manager, who if i recall was called Gregg. A doorman whos name was H then came and got rid of them without a scuffle, or a swear word, the 4 balloons just walked out. and the night was enjoyable. thanks Gregg and H and the girls for a safe and awesome night.
