Takin’ a Walk on the Wild Side–Strip Clubs in Columbus: Danny’s Gold Fox

by Marie Esselstein

If you’re not the strip club type, you’d probably never imagine that we–little old Columbus cow town that we are–have that many establishments of this type.

But, believe me, we do. I’m a woman and I can think of a dozen names off the top of my head. Just imagine how many a dedicated “gentlemen’s club” visitor might be able to think of!

Over the next few weeks I’ll discuss some of the biggest, and perhaps the best, of Columbus’ “Gentlemen’s Clubs.”

The highest concentration of large strip clubs is on the city’s north side. Here you’ll find:

Danny’s Gold Fox
1078 E Dublin Granville Rd
Columbus, OH 43229
(614) 841-0212
Open M-F 2pm-2am Sat. 6pm-2am Closed Sunday
Cover charge: $5-12 depending on the night or event.

On the northwest corner of St. Rt. 161 & I 71.

There is a Waffle House in the parking lot in front of it. If you are the designated driver, do yourself a favor and be sure to park in Gold Fox parking. The Waffle House can and will have your car towed.

This is one of the two remaining “Danny’s ____ Fox” bars that remain since the passing of founder Danny Weber, who once owned a virtual empire of showbars in Columbus (others were White Fox, Silver Fox, Platinum Fox, Diamond Fox and the only other remaining Weber club, Fox Run).

What I know about Danny’s Gold Fox~

This club is well maintained, but not overly fancy. Don’t expect it to look like Vegas. This is also one of the “cleanest” showbars in Columbus–meaning no “private” rooms.

The girls here are going to be 18-40, and of various sizes.

The bartenders are fun girls, and are allowed to drink if you’re paying. They pour drinks fairly stiff here.

Speaking of drinking, that is how the dancer’s here make the bulk of their money. With well shots starting at $10 and drinks running $20-$250 for a dancer, you can go through a lot of money without ever getting so much as a table dance.

As for atmosphere, if Cheers was a strip club, this would be it in Columbus. The customer’s are mostly regulars and locals, with the occasional bachelor party thrown in for good measure.

BUT, if you have a reason to go during the day, this is the place to go. The Gold Fox is known for having a good day crowd, and you are likely to find prettier girls working here on Wednesday afternoon than on Saturday night.

NOTE: Danny’s Gold Fox does sponsor charity events throughout the year, including the Danny Weber Memorial Golf Outing.

Also once again~Columbus must have a dozen cab companies, if you are going to drink USE ONE!
