Hold the strip steak: Christine's Cabaret closes
Last week was last call for the 3-year-old club by the Auto Mall.
Hold the strip steak: Christine's Cabaret closes
Michael Klein, Philly.com
Perhaps you did, in fact, dine at the steakhouse inside Christine's Cabaret by the Auto Mall on Passyunk Avenue.
If you did, you'd know that the strip club's showroom was visible from the dining room through one-way mirrors. (And if you happened to visit the dancers' dressing room, as I did while writing my former entertainment column, you'd know there was a tanning booth. But I digress.)
Christine's poles are now silent. The club closed last week after three years.
Its Yelp reviews, at least, were favorable, with one reviewer praising the food but deeming the club "rather boring."
On a more serious note, the club's former owner, Robert Laflar, died in January; he had been awaiting trial in connection with charges that two employees beat a man to death.
Sounds like a real nice place.— Wilhelm Von Humboldt- When the food is the best thing about a strip club it is time to close. Especially when the food sucks.— The Selector

- A "Gentlemen's" club among the car junk yards and the refinery. The girls must have stunk more than those places.— Wildman Bill
- wildman what car junkyards?— raynesrock
Comment removed.- How could anyone be bored when employees are beating a man to death?
Or maybe "beating a man to death" is a euphemism for the activity that often takes place in that particular ambiance?— He Visto Todo - Sounds like Robert paid for what his workers dished out, Street Justice? I heard that you couldn't touch the strip steak, they had to feed it to you.— NWBeachBum
- The hobbyists on Bestgfe must be disappointed. Best place for extras!— Captain Terrific
