The Lumberyard

The guy who raved about Dawn is 100% spot on..shes gorgeous, fun, classy...a true WOW..I travel all over the country, Tampa, Houston, Vegas and get a chance to visit some premier clubs..but more and more save up my $$$ and energy for the Lumberyard..if Dawn is booked up which she is many times, ck out Deon, Paige or cutie pie Suzy...well worth it..from the Minnesota Crane Man

Lumberyard is by far the BEST CLUB in Des Moines! They have the hottest girls and the club is clean and safe! Dawn Dawn Dawn..... She blows my mind everytime! I love her wild & out of control attitude! And she makes us girls feel sooo good! The only place ill ever go!

awesome place!!!

i will definitely visit again

This club is pretty good. It is a lot larger than I expected. Dont let the barn-like image fool you. I was impressed by the girls-- young, pretty, smell good... but the woman Kendra, WOW. Agreed, perfection. WOW, I don‘t even know what to say about her. PERFECT 10.

Great Club! Great girls! I travel all over the country and I hit gentlemen‘s club in Houston, Tampa, Vegas, but I work my schedule to fly out of Des Moines. I have missed Deon the last couple of times she does a great private dance, great investment.

Also Dawn and Paige..all I can is WOW, hope they are available my next visit.

Be good to the girls as they work hard and have earned respect. Thanks girls for being there and making life on the road enjoyable.

9/30/11 BEST CLUB AROUND FOR MANY STATES!

I used to visit Big Earl‘s while in town, but never again! Lumberyard is the place to be! All 20 dancers were smokin hot! Not an ugly or fat one at all to drop the quality. All tastes can be had. Great atmosphere, with TV‘s for sports. 5 dancers at the same time. $25, 99% Full Contact VIPs were well worth it.

Security was present when needed. A few rowdies escorted out after 1am. Armed cops present after 2am when the drunks from other bars closing showed up. Never felt unsafe here. Mind your own business and you‘ll be fine.

Kendra was AMAZING! Her natural beauty was breathtaking! Body = smokin‘, smile = perfect, face = beautiful, eyes = dreamy, attitude = great. Kendra IS perfection! Dancing to "I am Perfection" by Cage 9 was fitting. Many VIPs. I will stop again just to see her. Kendra will ruin you for the other girls! Nothing compares!

Roxi was GORGEOUS! Another perfect 10 from head to toe. Easy to talk to. A beautiful red rose was appreciated by this beautiful woman! More VIPs.

I see a Kendra and Roxi sandwich in my future!

Visit the Lumberyard. Set a $ limit....if you don‘t you will go poor and won‘t care. These girls are worth every $.

From Texas and all I can say is Wow!!! Club was great...Did 2 ViPS with Susie she was so good had to do another one.. The rest of the girls wasn‘t as friendly as her. Will be back!!!

Was in Boone Iowa for a week for the super nationals and decided to go to The Lumber Yard for extra entertainment closed the place twice. Great women very nice and hot except for a few. My favorite was Toni hope spelling is correct very down to earth and great personality had quite a few lap dance‘s with her. I will go back when I‘m at the super nationals next year.

Security staff sucks, they treat gusts like crap, WILL NOT RETURN, ADVISE OTHERS TO NEVER GO IN THAT SHIT HOLE!

Happy Birthday Kayla! Great VIP dance. Whether going for the big $$ or just he $25 dance room she will ruin you for the rest of the girls. Start with someone else if you are there for a while! Bella and Allie are good back ups if Kayla is to "busy". Enjoy

First of all I love the sexy Librarian look and Mallory had it! she was awesome on stage and gave a great lap dance too! I‘ll definitely be back to see her.

Belle rocks.............30 min VIP Room more than worth the $$$. She took about 10 years off my life expectancy. All the dancers tonight were great.

The girls are hot and friendly. Not too pushy. Can anyone tell me what you get in the VIP? It better be good for what it costs.

first time been there was wed july 6th, have heard about this place for years, glad i went hands down the best club outside of the office in dubuque that the stupid city had shut down, amazing is all i have to say, only thing is i wish i could remember the dancer with the lord of the rings tat on her back, now nerdy hot is just fricken hot, lol no doubt guys get out there if you have a chance and you will have a blast.

Went there a few Sat ago and was impressed, most of the girls are HOT! Got a few private dances from Sienna then just had to take her to the VIP she was amazing and well worth the 500 an hour. I‘ll be back to see her!

@June 18, 2011 review. If by natural, you mean implants, then yes, she is natural. She is very pretty though. Good at what she does.

If they had a better staff it it would be way better. the bouncers are blind and dont know what their doing. the girls are nice looking tho. it would be nice to enjoy without the idiot bouncers breathing down your throat. oh and you cant go to your car at all if you do they kick you out. Could be way better with new bouncers! Wasnt impressed with how they acted.

Poppin on tha weekends, but the weeknights aint bout nothin.

Can‘t say it‘s the best club I‘ve ever been to but I have gone back a few times only to see Kayla. She‘s natural, friendly and very easy on the eyes. Good for that after work stop to unwind. Kayla stay hot.

i love this place some of the girls need to know with out guys like me you have no job so treat all with love my girl is jessie she has been good to me for 4 years i love her keep up the good work

Wanted to try it out since I had been to the other clubs, noticed this girl on stage seems very into herself and could tell she loved her job, nice looking girl named Susie, took her down for a private dance with the idea Id only do maybe 2 dances the most she was so fantastic ending up doing alot more than 2 dances. Shes about the only girl I have met in a club that gives the best dance on stage and off....Will go back very nice time..

It sucks girls r bitchs it cost to much and they don‘t sit on your lap for the dollar dance

Cute girls, bad attitude.

Couldn‘t even get a girl to acknowledge us or provide a private dance. Would find it difficult to say it‘s the way we looked... clean cut, showered, well dressed, in shape, middle age white guys with money, sober. Would seem like the ideal target for a private dance or at least a hello.

I went there with my girlfriend. We were just sitting down not at the stage but further back.. we were yelled at by a stripper because we didn‘t tip her. She hadda bad attitude n talked a lotta shit while she was on stage and insulted the people that didn‘t tip her. The stripper and my girl got into it. Funny shit, the stripper was just a bitch.

Thur Night "I‘m There" hoping to see Deon and Susie‘s one on one show!!!

This was my first "Gentleman‘s Club" I‘ve ever been to. The security was very cordial, very welcoming, the door girl was also very attractive, and understanding. The exterior of the club, from the road, does not give much to the eye that it is a Gentleman‘s Club, which is good for the city. However, most of the laws are well explained on the door, which is also good.

The girls inside are, for lack of a better word, awesome. They were all very kind, very understanding, and very accepting of my shyness.

I received two private dances from Mallory (Which if you are reading this, you did a great job!), and both were very well done. These girls, based on the service I received from Mallory, are experienced and willing to give the customer a good dance (or in my case, a good dance and some idle chatter about life!)

I give this place 5/5 for lack of prior experience.

Finally, additionally, The Lumberyard allows electronic cigarette smoking.

Great place, keep up the work, girls!

i havent been here in a while, i found the experince to lovely i got a couple of private dances one from Kayla and the other from Destiny, I found Destiny in my opinion to be kind of pushy. Kayla on the other hand will sit there and have a nice conversation. Brady one of the bouncers is very nice and takes care of everybody there. Would defintely recommend people go this club.

Fantastic place from out of town and Tuesday nights are out of this world!!! Hot chicks, like the two girls who do the one on one with each other on stage!!! Heard about these two girls and have to agree they are HOT!!! Can tell they aren‘t acting either.. Went to Minx and Big Earls too and place sucks compared to Lumberyard. Will be back!!!

Amazing place was there last Tuesday, two awesome girls did an act on stage with whip cream blew my mind...Ended up doing a private dance with both of them together, AMAZING!! One was named Susie and the other one started with a D??? Guess they work as a team and enjoy each other ALOT!! I‘m going back to see them both this Tuesday..

Those all girls r bitches. VIP room is so expensive $300 per 30 mins. They just want u to get in private dance n VIP. They r not even good in serving their customers. A lot of assholes (including me) have some fan with bitches. Right now, I won‘t go anymore cos those girls r bitches who wanna dig money from u all the time. Don‘t go that fucking place. I‘ll burn it.

That place is a joke and so are 90% of the people that work there!! If they still do. Its been awhile, used to work there!

Susie and Deon are Great! They will make you smile they will make you "happy" There are a great bunch of girls there 1st shift. 2nd Shift is a mixed bunch some are great others are just there to pick up the money. If you get a chance stop by on a Tuesday and see if Deon and Susie are there you will get a show you will not believe.

Went to the lumberyard tonight & Javyne was amazing!!! Got a VIP from her! Well worth the $$. She is super sweet, funny, long blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect butt & nice big boobs! So much fun!! She always seems to be busy when I see her so she is definitaly a fan favorite!! Get to her fast if you like what you see!!

its a great strip club one of the best in the midwest. I‘ve been to a lot of clubs in my day. From chi-town to Texas and its still one of the best. They have damn good girls... not just fake tits and blonde hair they have all kinds of girls... I was in there for New Years Day and it was packed so if your one of those kind of people that like having people look at you when your getting tits in your face me personal i don‘t care has long has they have girls im there. Everyone is really nice. The doorgirls are hot and the bouncers take care of you. If you get kicked out for doing something stupid thats why your getting kick out take it like a man and leave

Ps.. Destiny is gone!!!!

The doorgirl was fighting with her boyfriend/manager when I was trying to pay to get in. Neither one had any people skills at all. Neither one has any business in customer service much less running a company. The bouncers are selling beer out of the closet and scrounging for tips while ignoring the minors sitting on and putting the feet up on the tip rail. Its obvious that the management/doorgirls/bouncers are new to the industry because they are doing a very shitty job. At least the dancers and d.j.s still put on the best show ive ever seen in a club. They save this place and make it fun and make me want to come back.

wow are you kidding me no more fully nude treatment in V.I.P. and also there are cameras in there , so be aware people prostitution is being recorded now , i have had plenty of extra‘s in that room , glad i got in while i could and i mean got it in

I went to the club back in August ‘10 with my fiance. Got the best private dance of my life - but cant remember the girls name. Would like to swing back in sometime if she is working again. Any help would be much appreciated - short, petite, dark hair with long bangs, tan with several tattoos. Any idea?

It‘s been interesting watching the list of girls evolve at LY. The quality of girls are still pretty decent but probably nothing compared to what it use to be. The past regular girls were more voluptuous, tall, full-figured bods, just stunning in general. When you see them, you find it hard to believe that they actually live here in Iowa. Just to name a few; Alexandra, Seneca, Nadia, Sidney, Jade, Monica, Kiana (she was awesome, but only there short term), and Brooke. The girls now are younger and cute. Body-wise nice, but nothing compared to the list I mentioned. The newer girls young girls are very cute but need to learn how to attract all kinds of customers. I see them interact with the younger customers more. They need to learn that those young bucks don‘t make the big bucks!! With all this said, there are still some quality regulars. Some peeps have mentioned Deon and Karma (she is the best right now IMO). I would also throw in Jewels who is very friendly and bubbly. She really knows how to get you UP down in the private area.

This place needs to be shut down. It allows assults against its customers. The girls that work there are diseased animals.

Came to the Lumberyard last weekend with a couple of my girls for my birthday.. BEST night of my life. The girls are all amazing and sweet as can be. The bouncers keep an eye out for you and the announcer man kept me laughing with everything he said. We got our moneys worth and even had the chance to get on stage with the girls. Could a birthday celebration really get any better?

Thanks to Kinney the Crane Man, we were in Des Moines for a week long training and found Outer Limits, but one of the guys got into a hassle over a pool game and we got our buts thrown out, so we googled strip club and Lumberyard was just down the road. WOW we read Kinney the Crane man reveiw and he was spot on.

THank you thank you Deon, Dawn Paige were all smoking hot and we didn‘t mind giving up the 20‘s ..they wore us out.

I‘m hoping Susie is at the club tonight, does anyone know?? She works Sundays and Tuesday last I knew.. She is smart, classy and so much fun, very experienced and not shy, my kind of lady, she wont do private parties out of club, but she knows what shes doing in the club, I leave happy if u know what i mean.

i absolutely love this place i was there on friday which was amateur night which was kind of a bust but the ladies more than made up for that. Madison has an absolutely rockin body and gave the best dance i have ever had hands down i have been to vegas strip clubs and i will take the lumberyard anyday over those joints

This from Kinney the Crane Man from MN, had a great time with Paige, thank you paige and don‘t get new boobies the ones you got are great!!!

Deon, Suzy as always thank you thank you thank you! WOW

They are gorgeous and worth your $$$$. Treat em with respect.

This place is absolutely fabulous! For those that say the boncers/door clerks need to be fired, you are morons. I have found, in my trips to this club, if you are nice to them, and don‘t try to be all "Mr. Tough guy" towards them, they will treat you with the respect that you deserve.


Now for the dancers.....goodness gracious, I was there last night, and they had 40 ladies working, and all of them were quite attractive, and non-pushy. Celeste, as previously stated, has a rockin body, great personality, and gives an amazing dance. In ending, for all those haters, get your stuff together, because this place is great!

The doorgirls need to be fired. zero people skills with the personality of mud. The management needs to be fired. again - zero people skills...just flaky n shifty all around. The Bouncers need to be fired. It‘s painfully obvious they are all new to the strip club industry. Thank god for the d.j‘s and the dancers. They make it a five star place.

Omg, u r so right, Susie and Deon are not only awesome to talk to they are down right good at dances, I was there last tuesday nite and they were both on stage together, WOW!!
Guess they work every tuesday together, that is where I will be on tuesday‘s here on out!!!

gotta find deon dawn suzy they are a delight very pretty treat them well as they have been great to me!!!!

I love Celeste! And all the other workers there are great too. Had many many good nights here.

dancers were great! music was great! The dj was the best ive ever heard and ive been all over. Great time!

I‘m guessing a lot of the reviews here are advertising or competitors, but here‘s a real review for you who are interested. I just threw a bachelor party for my friend. It was my first time at a strip club, the same for some of my guests. They charged $15 admission except for my friend whose birthday it was they dropped it to half price. We got right in and easily found a table to set our beer down. They didn‘t let us bring in hard liquor but it‘s probably for the girls safety from really heavy drinkers so I didn‘t mind too much. There were about 20 girls working last Friday night. All of them attractive for their own reasons. Some of them looking unique for particular interests, a 90% white. They were all pretty cute. I‘d rate them all between 7 and 10 on a scale of attractiveness.

I saw other reviews about how some girls were pushy before I went there. Honestly, about 2 of them were, but they were easy to send on their way and pay attention to the nice ones. One girl ended up deciding she liked my friend and just talked with him for about 20-30 minutes. We got a few private dances for individual songs and they were pretty fun. We stayed for 2 hours. Overall, the visitors were about 40% Birthday‘s and Bachelors, 30% single guys (20‘s - 50‘s), 30% couples (Which really surprised me that there were actually couples who attend strip clubs)...good for them though being comfortable with their sexuality in public. Overall, we were surprised at the large size of the place, the DJ was ok, the girls were nice, there were plenty of beer bottle openers all around, and overall it was a pretty good experience. 5 of my 6 group members said they had a really good time (myself included). I hope it helps.

The lumberyard is as good as it gets. Like they say "Best in the Midwest". After 11pm the cream of the crop comes out. Some of the hottest girls I have ever seen at a strip club. There are 3 stages that when its busy is in use at the same time. The girls ask you if you want lap dances alot, but its their job. Last time I was there we were all treated to a "lesbian shower stage", and might i say it was FANTASTIC!!!!! I believe cover is $10 on week nights and $15 on weekends. Free pop and its BYOB. Come out here and enjoy, you wont be disappointed and if you are then I think you‘re gay!!!

The service is fairly bad. I paid to enter the place and since they did not give me a wrist band, the later concluded that I did not pay my entrance. I was traveling from another state and did not know that I needed a wrist band when paying. The bounces do not have the slightest clue about business. Terrible terrible service

Every time I think about going, I think about this. Last time I went, I was there for maybe 20 minutes and saw somebody I used to go in asking for. She saw me first and offered. I was sitting at the stage. I gave up asking for her after some bad experiences by simply asking, like being punched in the balls. She hadn‘t worked for a long time. Told me she had to beg for 8 months to get her job back. The entire dance was me listening to her literally talk trash about me. Half way through the dance (MUSIC STOPPED) I just got up and left. I was paying the bouncer and tipping ( DO NOT ASK ME WHY) to get thrown out. So $50 to get 25 minutes to get kicked out. She told them I threatened her. My integrity is worth far more than any of those people. This is coming from somebody who used to spend way more money in a week than you spend on rent in a month in that place. They keep talking about how they have new management and the place is cleaned up. It was never a problem before and now it is. What a dumb girl. Time before that I saw her it was 2 girls and me. A lot of fun. Well have it that way since that is your choice and that is why you got 1 dance instead of a bunch. Advice STFU and you would be better off not going there. TRUST ME. I will never get a dance there again. EVER!!! The girls want you to sit on your hands the entire time. I can do that at home girls! They used to like spanked, tits touched, etc. This place is a complete joke. They did NOT even honor the free entry for my birthday because it was midnight. I used to give the girl at the door $20 tips just for being sweet. BYE BYE! Then they are all anal on what wrist to put the band on, disregarding expensive watch gumming it up. I remember every Saturday 9 girls on stage eating each other out. Special guests and pictures. All gone.

i was at the lumber yard tonight for amateur night and most of the girls that were contestants were strippers from other strip clubs. they were from beach girls mynx and big earls. i want to know when the real amateur night is not stripper night.

does anyone know when Jada works. got a dance from her and loved it. Id like to see her again.

I am female and this was my first time at a strip club. I have to say that some of the girls were classy, and some were pushy. Even some of the gentlemen said that they were pushy. I thought strip clubs were horrible until now. THey are not that bad, even though some girls will show their goods before a dollar is set down for them. I think that if you are doing it to make money then if you show the money then I show the goods just for you. Otherwise female customers are going to naturally think your a s@#t. Otherwise a good time with the girls, and I would go with my husband so long as these girls respect the fact that the man is with me and we are enjoying the entertainment and having a good time together.

I just had a few more comments, I travel Vegas, Houston, Dallas, Tampa and sure they have great talent, probably The Lodge in Dallas is tops for Playboy bunny quality girsl, but for fun, Deon, Dawn, Velvet..man they will rock your world..treat them well, tip them well, show some respect. Karma will do anything for some extra tip...

Kenny the Crane and Phone Man!!!!

The girls here are great:
Velvet; watch out when she is wearing her banderlor‘s bullets. she will smoke you.

Karma will do anything for an extra tip and I mean anything

Suzy what a crazy blonde.

stay away form Kayla and Tammy they are just mean bitches

Dawn and Deon are my favorites..they are smoking hot, and will give you a great time..treat them with extra respect and thell them the Crane Man with the phone from Minnesota gave them high marks!!!

Celest has a smoking bod but lazy in the private dances..stick with Deon & Dawn.

Kenny the Minnesota Crane Man

Great show, if I was a local I would definitely come back.

I live in Marion now, so I go to The Lumberyard II. It‘s just as good as The Lumberyard. I have a VIP pass for The Lumberyard II. Both places are great. Although the last time I was at The Lumberyard, the private dances were behind a curain. I‘m not sure if it is still like that or not. I do know the private dances at the second one are great and the VIP is even better...if you can afford it. I may have to return to DSM to check out LY sometime.

I went last night which was a saturday night. Took a while to get in, but once we got in we didnt leave ontill 4 a.m it was amazing!!!

The cons is the entrance fee is $15 or $16 which is too much if you go there very frequently. If they lower the price to $10, I will go there every day:) just kidding. but would be better.

As I am a noob in this things, all the above is only personal experience, not professional.
An question, anyone knows where to find hookers around dSM area?

I went there last time it‘s Friday night. There are 3 stages top, middle and bottom. There are always strippers on top and middle stage, and most times there are strippers on the bottom one however, you might experience an empty bottom stage for minutes. Overall its a ok place to have fun. It looks most girls are hot and nice to you but there are some other strippers just looking for money. SO I have to say, it really depends on your luck.

I got a nice girl for private dance. Forget her name, :(. but a real nice girl, give you girl friend experience and also pretty and hot. I got 2 songs with her. The price is 25 per song. Ｉpaid extra 10 for tips though I dont know whether its necessary.
The other girl I have is a so-called the hottest girl in the club, but she‘s totally horrible b1itch. Not even complete dance, chat with others when doing private dance to me. I throw that fucking 25 bucks and left.
A suggestion for noobs is making sure chat a while with strippers before going in to the private room. You will know whether this girl is a angel or a b1itch.

friend and i went for his birthday and it was fantastic and best experience he has had.
megan from minnesota was amazing and so were the other dancers.

My husband and I went there on May 22! I have to say I think I had more fun than he! The dancers were awesome and very entertaining! I think my tits were out more than they were in...and of course hubby loved every minute of it! ;) Great place..some of the girls were very friendly! Thanks for the time of our life! ps...sex was amazing that night....thank you! lol

I had a nice big Boner all night!!!!
The girls were amazing

I went out with my gf and some friends on 4/30/10. Overall, we had a good time. Private/lap dances were $25 (or $20 for the females in the group) and hit or miss on the dancer. The one I had was great, but I saw a few other patrons that weren‘t really getting much for their money (i.e., mindless grinding).

The biggest cons of the places were:

-$15 entrance fee
- Dim, low lights. It was hard enough to see detail a few feet away from one stage, much less the other two stages.

bouncers think they are the big swinging dick of the place, someone needs to tell them they aren‘t the reason people come to the lumberyard..

Dawn and Toni are the greatest hot hot hot sweet and will make u feel like u want to comeeeee back for more

love the lumber yard

One of the best strip clubs I have been to. BYOB and 50 girls to watch. I would suggest this place to anyone visiting Des Moines.

why would you not leave? Are you a pimp? $400? ...please...

I went to the lumber yard to have a good time with my girl and to my suprise the people that they let in and the girls they let work there on the poles were not worth it. they told me all sorts of good things about the girls and when i had money in hand the girls took our money and we got nothing in return at ALL. and we were there till 4 am before we left after sitting back and haveing the bouncers tell me and my girl (who were sitting minding our own business) tell us to leave after we had spent almost $400 and we weren‘t even drinking. So to all those who think this place is worth it. Guess again i hope some day this place is done for good.

It cost too much to get in.. and The women are hit or miss.. sometimes its full of vixens and other times there might be just one hottie in there.. if it didnt cost fifteen bucks to get in. id go more often. and prolly end up spending more money.. its def not worth 15 bucks. then on top of that. Tipping on stage, 25$ privates. 10-12 bucks is fair. SEneca & brooke have got to be the best looking girls in that place

2 for 1 night kicks A$$ Hotties Hotties And Hotties This place is like a Trophy Room For Tits!!!

me and my friends went there last friday. and had a really good time went to alot of private dances. and we like it so much we are going back on friday those ammatures are really hot.

It was my first time at a strip club. And it was great i dont think it is really worth 15 bucks just to get in but the ladys were amazing. Bring your own beer on watch the ladies. The only thing that sucked was standing outside for 20 minutes in the cold. But it was well worth it.

That is not true. This club is absolutely phenomenal. Wonderful women, wonderful private dances, wonderful everything. The staff is nice and friendly, and most of the dancers are top notch!

All the f-ing reviews on here are from the lumber yard crew. What a JOKE. This place is a rip off. Don‘t waste your money at this hole.

I had a question about this place. Some buddies of mine had went and said that they blew alot of money for nothing? They said the cost was 20 dollars to get in, and to get a lap dance it was 50 and the girls basically just sat on their lap, they had even went in for the two for one tuesday??. If I go, it seems like a lot of money for nothing.. will they rip u off...can someone tell me otherwise?

First time ever at a strip joint and it was Great. I didn‘t get her name but the girl in the Red outfit was absolutely hot and she showed me a great time.

first time and it was great!!! All the girls were very sexy

Deon, Dawn, Paige are just smoking hot and will give you great PRIVATE dance..I travel a lot and hit a few clubs in vegas, tampa, houston, but this is a fun little secret in the heartland, without all of the egos of the "showgirls" in the big arena.

Treat the girls well, show a little respect and dress up a little. The girls were very complimentary about finally seeing a guy in a suit! Usually suits only go to Minxx, I was there but not impressed.

this was my first time ever at a strip club and i was pretty nervous, there was a guy next to me seemed to be having a pretty good time, throwing money around and cheering the girls on so i asked him "do you come here often" he replied "no, i usually wait till i get home!"

Montana is the best! Get her and you‘ll go home happy. :)

I went to this place a couple of days ago and the girl who was giving me a lap dance starts getting yelled at by some other chick!! the whole dance was ruined and i had to pay for it. One of my friends used to date a girl in there and he was not allowed in, yet several girls told me a bouncer is dating a stripper and the manager dates an employee...What kind of place is this?? Also...there is a serious drug problem with the girls and the managment does not seem to care. Who ever that bald guy is, treats some girls like shit and other can do whatever they want. Something needs to change...soon.

its an absolutly wonderful experience every time me and my freinds go, by the time we get home we are already planning a trip back

Me and a few of my buddies had nothin to do so we drove to des moines. about a 2 hr. drive for us. it was worth the drive. it is a great place to go. they dont call it the lumberyard for no reason thats for sue!

The girls are nice and the place has a good atmosphere but i cant get over how bad the management treats the costumers, the two times ive been there i was yelled at by security. LAst time i checked i was a customer. People there need to learn that the costomer is importat. Alot of my friends have told me about all the stuff that goes on upstairs, whish makes me wonder if i should go at all. Be careful with this place everyone!!!

Fantastic night 12/22, hot ladies all over. Wishing Suzy was mine!!!! Hot Lady, trailsdrifter60

What a great place to go. Many hot girls to choose from. The staff is very nice, so polite and will do about anything for you. I would recommend to get dances from Anastasia. She has a perfect little body and is one of the hottest girls that I have ever seen. Her personality brings even more of a glow to her. LOOK HER UP. Keep up the great work ladies and the rest of the staff

i have always wanted to go to the lumberyard...what may happen in a private dance?

My wife and I have been there twice now. Excellent place for female friendly. Wife loves females and it‘s unbelievably hard to hook up with a girl in the public scene. Forget CraigsList. It‘s a joke. The Lumberyard is a great place for my wife to get freaky with a hot girl doing a private dance. They let me stand by and watch. Very hot. Let‘s jusy say strip clubs have changed a LOT since I was single. lol. We only go for her and the girls seem to know this. They didn‘t even ask me for a dance. Very respectful. We will be going back.

drove three hours to go there for a friends bachelor party. the service was terrible. we got the vip stage and they said all the girls would come to us and all we had to do is tip them. well after no girls showing up for a while we got pissed and asked the bouncer what was wrong, he said we had to go look for girls to get up there and then spend 20 up front to have them up there on top of the tips. are you kidding me.....after we just paid 200 for 2 hours of shitty service. i reccomend not goin there unless you want to get hosed. good luck.

Great place to have fun.....My wife and I went on our anniversary and it was such a turn on to see the dancers take notice of her and start to make out with her and suck on my wifes nipples on stage. Very great place to go....

i love this place, dancers are hot and super fun! staff rocks and so does the musice... LOVE IT!

what a great place, we go as a couple, the girls are sexy hot and the staff is friendly and helpful,,, the door girl is even sexy hot,, not sure who has more fun me,, or my girlfriend, of course she gets all the attention,, hey i like it ,, to watch,,,

I stopped in on a Monday Night and got a VIP from Karma and it was by far the most amazing dance i‘ve ever had!! If your lookin to have an amazing time with a hot blonde ...choose her!!

To the A-hole that reviewed this place on August 16th 2009 i think you need a new script for your glasses dumbxxx !!!
For one it seems to me that most of the staff there is newer and the talent some of them were newer too i guess if you can‘t stand hot women wearing next to nothing and a guy keeping your beers cold you need to seek other entertainment maybe like circle jxxking with your buddys!!!!!

What a great place great woman perfect atmospher
never been there you should go you"ll love it

Stopped in on Sat 08/22 and it was just as everyone promised. I have been to quite a few clubs and this was a clean kept, clean/HOT girls, nice place to go to let them dance for your dollars! Out of all the girls I gotta say Betty was an awesome dancer and the piercings that had me stimulated from head to head.

Hey Betty Coors is still the best beer!

its a great club and the dancers earn their keep but make sure to tip them or u r out of there.

The girls used to be way better. Of the 30 girls working that night only like 5 had any buisness with their clothes off. Only one of the girls all night was actually nice to us and alot of them were just plain violent. I dont mean cute slapping or pinching, i mean like bruises and welts. If you want to ruin your buddy‘s party take them here. This place is the biggest buzz kill you will ever go to.

lumber yard is the NUMBER ONE NIGHT CLUB TO GO GET RID OF MONEY AND ESPECIALLY IF NADIA IS WORKING check out the hotest dancer at the lumber yard !!!!!

I stopped in 6/29. Had 3 private dances. The best by far was Georgia!!! A fantastic lady! Get there early for the 2 for 1 dances with no crowds. All the dancers were sexy and enjoyable! They will see my dollars again!!

Stopped in on my way home...Had not been there for a few months. Sure glad I did - it was early in the evening and not much of a crowd. But the best part of it was Georgia! She was amazing...If you get the chance to see and meet her you will know why. What a sweetie! Willing to talk to you and actually show you some respect. She was well worth the $$$

This is a very nice strip club, one of the nicest i have ever been to, they had 45 strippers working that night, although the bouncers can be kinda rude if you smart off to them, however it was well worth the money, would recommend to anyone looking for a good time.

very relaxing and great place to just let your mine loose all you want

the girls there are ok alot of them just want to get a private dance from you and not visit dawn has alot of tatoos on her body lovely is realy nice

Not the best but definitely not the worst. The strippers are hit or miss as far as personality and looks(some had no business with their clothes off while others were really hot and talented with the pole. I completely agree with the user review that stated the bouncers need to get a life....they act like a**holes. I can understand acting like a jerk when situation calls for it but really? You‘re a bouncer at a strip club not that hard of a job-get off your high horse guys. As far as attention-be prepared to pay! The gilrls in general seem pretty inexperienced as far as how to treat clients in order to make more money but maybe given some time they will get it.....

The girls there were all nice looking and fun to talk to. The bouncers were courteous and friendly. I had a great time and the 3 stages is enough if you don‘t like the girl you see on one stage change where you‘re sitting. I loved my visit to this club will definately return.

lap dances are 25 bucks, vip dances are 35 bucks after paying 20 for a vip braclet, amateur night was amazing 20 dollars let you be a judge which was well worth it girls were amazing all smokin hot and the ones that werent were talented on the pole which made up for that, saw a 3 way go down on stage best trip yet to this place

strippers are mostley tattooed scanks with more strech marks than a road map, very exspensive for what you get, bouncers are pricks and girls (most of them) stage show is without talent. prepare to loose your money for the girls expect you to pay them for being there, good sound system though! oh yeah,Lap dance is 60.00 firm! and not at all worth it!

the bouncers act like they are gods.... get a life.

The lumberyard is fun. I‘ve been there a few times and see different faces every time. I happen to like sitting in the front row, tipping, and having the girls lift up my shirt (yes I‘m a female) While I think it‘s not a bad idea to have this website in order to let customers give a review and rate the lumberyard, I‘ve read all the comments posted and some used the dancer‘s name and went into slight detail. Thats tacky. Just my two cents.

I went here for my 20th birthday and it was okay. A bunch of guys paid to get me in the shower with another girl which was pretty intense! The girls seem pretty nice, but Im not going to lie some of them should not be dancing. Ew. I didnt like how because I am a girl they automatically thought they could take my shirt and bra off when i was just sitting sage side minding my own business. I felt only a slim few could actually use the poles for the intended use, I know I could do a better job then most. The only two main turn offs for me. One being the the large stretched marked girls shaking thier ass in my face. And two being I felt the girls were TOO touchy feely with me because I was a female. I mean Ill kiss you if I want to, dont just shove your tongue down my throat! Blah!

My stupid husband (now ex) had what he thought was an "affair" with one of the strippers there. A stripper is a stripper - they don‘t care about anything but the money, boys. They aren‘t impressed by your "manliness" - they look at you as scum as you hand them money.

its fucking wonderful

It was pretty good i liked it. The private dance i had was pretty good. Just depends on the girl i guess. I think some of the girls are to pushy for your dollar! But otherwise it was good.

"Sydney" is the most beautiful woman I‘ve seen in my entire life! Her outfits are gorgeous and stylish, god broke the mold when he made her!! inlove.

All the girls were great. They introduced them selves to you and asked if you were having a good time. The music was not overbearing and they could dance to it. It seemed to fit their profile. Two things... It seemed pretty dark and some of the girls would come up to you and be pushy for your dollar. I was sitting stage side without a dollar and they would ask for one. TURN OFF!! Ill give you a damn dollar when I want.

Perfection. Seriously. A guys dream come true. Better than a beer commerical. And you can bring your own beer? What more do you need man! I‘ll tell you what more, a top notch stellar VIP room with beautiful women who are fun and friendly. I can‘t wait to catch an amatuer night or shower performance there. It will have to wait though, since I spent my mortgage payment there that night! (Worth it).

Girls are very good looking... I thought I would get more attention since I am female, but girls didn‘t really get too into it. Thought some of the guys would want to see more girl on girl too but didn‘t seem to be what they wanted to see. One girl was into it but then never came back like she said she would. But all in all I will be back!

It is by far the best club I have ever been to in the usa.

This place could ruin my marriage..I can‘t believe women portray themselves in this way. I can‘t sleep at night knowing some strange trashy woman was all over my man..find a real job girls...this is sick!!

Its my first time at this place and is fucking hot... these girls are amazing... and they are really friendly ! bring ur own beer....!!! ohterwixe free nonacholic drinks....

They had the best looking girls I have ever seen!!! Very friendly too. And you bring in your own beer, what else could a guy want. This place is a MUST SEE. Dont forget bring a big cooler full of beer.

How is the Vip room here? do they have one? what do you get and what are the prices for this?? Do they give you any "Hands on" attention?

im form flordia i went tonight for the first time i got to talk with a few but one more then the rest she was a beautiful blonde with a great personality . i will be going back eveyr friday just to see her. i cant remember her stage name but i do know her real name . and is worth the money every time i go back

me my wife and some friends came here and had a BLAST.

This place was THE SHIT!!!! all the girls are crazy hot, i even brought a gay man with me and even he was enthusiastic about the night. Not only can these beautiful women dance their asses off, they give great "stuff" in private "dances". (Thanks Monique and Ferrari, you made my night)

very wild strippers, which is a compliment in the most!!

I was visiting from Minneapolis and this was a great club. Toni was the hottest girl there and I had the best private dances with her. Half the girls were hot and the others were not. Tuesdays 2for1 was great. will go again!

I was let down when I went to the lumberyard. They say the girls are smoking but I must of got the C team (even though I was there New Year‘s Eve) maybe I have high standards. The place is just right if you want in your face action. It is one of the sleeziest strip clubs I have ever been to you definately get your money‘s worth, but that is what some people like ; )

Best time in me life
best club in des moines

Had a great time, will be back for sure! Girls are very hot and great to talk with. Brooke is over the top!

This place will destroy your life. Be careful guys.

I had the pleasure of visiting this fine establishment last night. I found the girls to be extremely friendly and sociable. Most of them were pretty hot and the private dances were a lot of fun. However if you are looking for a place to get a handy this is not it. I tried my hardest to whip it out but was denied on every attempt. I was forced to literally take matters into my own hands when I got home! All in all I had a great time!

Sincerely -Lawrence

The girls badger you asking if you want private dances all night long at less then 5 minute intervals. 3 different levels and 5 poles. BYOB is always a plus. You can have a personal conversation with the dancers. Not smokey or too loud. Lot‘s of TV‘s with sports on. bouncers dispose of your empty containers. The girls are SMOKING hott.

This gentlemens club is a fine establishment it is especially good if it‘s your b-day. Now there is no charge if it is your b-day that is the great part about it. You can work this out all night long with all the dancers you want because it‘s just one advantage over everyone else there that it just so happens not to be their b-day. Now remember this no cameras also includes phones they have a big rule on that. The girls are great remember if you give them more than everyone else you usually get more for it. Another thing if you smoke don‘t dump the ash tray on the stage the girls really don‘t appreciate the mess they have to walk in.

The cover charge and private dances are expensive but overall, I love the place. The best time to go is on amature night between 5 - 7pm. There is no cover charge during that time. Stay back from the stage so you don‘t have to tip. Right before amature night starts, sign up to be a judge. It is 25 dollars to be a judge. You will get multiple lap dances for the price of one!!!

Last year went there, nice place, average , had my g/f 19 yrs the younger and she went up on stage, two of the dancers poled her then got to taste her, nice show, we then went home had more people cum over and had a great time with her! What sux is, you can never tell when they‘re hiring!

This is Magda Carter, a woman who visits strip clubs throughout the world and writes reviews for other women. The Lumberyard is a large, all-nude, all-female, BYOB facility with three levels of wooden floor stages. On the second level, next to the stage, there is a shower stage for novelty, dj-ed shows. All of the patrons who were showered and “tormented� by strippers were male.

Overall, The Lumberyard is female-patron-tolerant, if not female-patron-friendly. For a menial tip (one dollar), dancers tend to give male patrons one of two options: a face-in-crotch or face-in-cleavage experience. For the same or a few dollars more, however, the dancers will disrobe willing female patrons; and in some cases, they will engage in borderline-pornographic activities with said patrons.

[part 0 of 5]
I‘ve been to many strip clubs across the country, but have yet to encounter one that involved such friendly contact between dancers and [female] customers. From the perspective of a female patron, one disappointment, was that the $15 cover charge (which applies after 7pm on Fridays and after 5pm on Saturdays) was universal, regardless of the patron‘s gender.

Generally speaking, female patrons could enter the club and watch the dancing from a distance without having to worry about being hassled by either circulating dancers or other patrons. Circulating dancers primarily focused on male customers, when making their rounds, but my party of three 20 to 30-something females, did have the luxury of being graced with light conversation by one very friendly circulating dancer.

[part 1 of 5]
Reviewers complaining about The Lumberyard seem to have the same two complaints: the dancers are overweight and/or rude.

In answer to the charge that the dancers are overweight: We saw 15 dancers this Saturday night, and I took note that 3 were clearly underweight, 6 were slim to average, 3 were above average, and 3 were overweight, though not obese (based on the definition of obesity requiring a BMI of 30 or greater). Even though I tend to prefer watching and interacting with slimmer dancers, my favorite dancer at The Lumberyard was one of the above-average sized ones, named “Brittney.� The more slim girls tended to be more acrobatic on the free standing poles (they were connected to the floor, but free at the top), but there was one of the overweight girls who could climb the pole at least as well as the smaller girls. Interestingly, none of the dancers performed the typical pole-dance routine, which involves quick spinning and acrobatic dismounts.

[part 2 of 5]
In answer to the charge that the dancers are rude: we only experienced rudeness with one dancer. She was an overweight Asian woman with the stage name of “Lilly.â€� She was late arriving to the stage, after her call, which ought to have been a cue that she is cynical and burnt out on her profession. She wore a long V-neck sweater, with thong bikini bottoms. As soon as she stepped onto the stage, she removed her bikini bottoms, and pulled down the top of her sweater so that the “important bitsâ€� were showing. She never did any more stripping beyond that. I thought it was curious that she did not remove her sweater, and determined that maybe it was because she‘d had a baby, and had abdominal stretch marks that she did not wish to expose (as there was another dancer who continually wore a bikini top, pulled aside to expose her nipples, but also hide her breast implant scars).

[part 3 of 5]
I found Lilly attractive, in part, because I‘d created a story in my mind where she was an imperfect woman posing as a man‘s perfect fantasy. Due to this, I placed a tip on the stage for Lilly, and upon picking up the tip, she guided my hands to her breasts and buttocks, and briefly put my face in her cleavage. She then moved over to my female companions, who were less enthralled with her, and demanded that they tip her. When they shrugged, indicating they weren‘t interested in a personal interaction, she stopped dancing and told them that where we were sitting (a side of the stage which was almost entirely empty, except for us), was only for tipping customers. We might have accepted this graciously and accommodated, except for the fact that we had been sitting there, not tipping, without difficulty, and we had witnessed plenty of other people sitting around the stage, not tipping, and also not being subjected to harrassment from the dancers.

[part 4 of 5]
The general rule of strip clubs is, if there is room, sit at the stage, and if you‘re interested in the dancer, tip. Just like the fact that it is considered impolite for waitstaff to demand a certain tip, it is also considered impolite for strippers to demand a certain tip. As it happened, I, and one of my companions, ended up having to pay her to get her to leave us alone. After that, we decided it was time to leave.

[part 5 of 5]
In spite of the unpleasant end to an otherwise pleasant night, I would recommend The Lumberyard to female patrons. There are two major reasons why women tend to be unwelcome at all-female-dancer clubs. The first, is because the dancers tend to feel threatened by female patrons, and make this apparent. The second, is because male patrons harrass or intimidate female patrons. Neither of these issues seem to be a concern at The Lumberyard, Des Moines. So, Ladies, go and enjoy the view!

you bet this is a fantastic place for me to go out and see women show their shit

Man, talk about wonderful night out! My friends and I got here on Friday night, the 28th of December in time for the main event in oil wrestling. Excellent timing. By the way this was MY first time here. I got 2 wonderful private dances, the First from APRIL a very hot and sexy lady, who has been a dancer for 4 years, and she treated me like a person. Real down to earth, and warm hearted.. VERY FINE DANCER. The second was from CHINA, and she too knew how to work her stuff. Wonderful time, and most of the ladies were not stuck up but nice and easy to talk to. Very recommended place to go for a night out. I know I will be going back very soon!

one of the best clubs in iowa i think if u go on a good night

I had the pleasure of visiting The Lumberyard on Nov. 10,2007. Georgia paid extra attention to me, treated me with kindness and is a beautiful woman in all respects. We did a few lap dances and then we entered the VIP Room. She was kind enough to supply a few cold beers for our hour long session.
It was clear that she intended to provide me with her personal attention and was not side tracked, thinking about her next dance with another gentleman.
I live in Omaha and was passing through your fair city on a business trip. I will return to the Lumberyard the very next time my flooring business finds me in Des Moines. I only wish I knew what Georgia‘s dance schedule was to I could plan my trip to possibly see her again.
WOW!!
John

Took my husband there for his first private dance for his birthday, needless to say the only one interested in giving us the "two for one" deal was not necessarily the one that I wanted for my husband‘s "first time". All the others were snots that wanted to charge us double!!!(so much for 2 for Tuesday‘s!!) Long gone is the time of table dances that make our hearts race and want to spend the extra $24 to go to the private room! We hem-hawed over spending the money but in the end my husband agreed I was a much better "show" than all the girls there! Thanks so much Lumber Yard for the disappointing "prelude" to a fantastic night!!!!!

Just spent a week in the Des Moines area visiting 4 of the clubs. The girls in the Lumberyard last Wednesday night were all above average, in weight. What a bunch of porkers and bitches toi boot. Maybe I am spoiled in the Minneapolis area with trim girls with a personality. :(

I was in there on Fri, Nov 9th and met the most beautiful lady, named Holly. Got a private dance, then a VIP dance and it was the best ever. Would do it all over again night after night if I could. You are so hot and the best there. Thanks, Holly Would be fun to see you more!!!

the lumberyard is the best strip club in the state of iowa. if you have never been there you need to go. the have the best lookin dancers i have ever seen.

Simply fantastic, beautiful girls, friendly enviroment, plenty to do and see. I have had some wonderful times with my best friends here.

I love the lumber man! I am there once every two weeks, all the girls there are very nice and very sexy!

I was at the lumberyard lastnite, and it was the shit! Im sorry that I pissed off the stripper, sorry.

I visit at least 3 times a week and they have the hottest girls around. I will keep going to visit trixie. she is the hottest.

I had my bachelor party here, and it was the most fun i‘ve ever had! I sure would like to fuck Hedi Hooters doggy stlye in the ass, while i rubbed those big titties!

let me tell you i been to some joints, but you girls are hot. i love to come to your place, its nice and the girls are always looking good

The Lumberyard is really fun. Some of the girls are rude, and some have celluite sticking out, but there are other girls that make your whole night worthwhile.

I‘ve only been to two other strip clubs in my life and thought they were great ones but after going to the Lumber Yard, I have to say this is hands down the best place I have ever been. The dancers get up close and personal with you in the private dances. I love this place and I‘ll definitely be coming back just to see Selena. She has great personality and is fun to talk with. Got four dances from her and I‘m looking forward to many more with her.

OMG it was GREAT the first time i went there i think i should have brought and exctra change of underwear i about creamed my fucking jeans those girls in there are SOOOOO HOTT!!!!

i went there with my girlfriend and the strippers just loved her especially cherry and starla and the were good to me too

Nothing great. Not worth the extra $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Nice place to go if your into being insulted by a bunch of stuck up lesbians.

Great Club, Awesome Ladies, be sure to get a private dance by either Bella Donna or Lexi, both are smokin‘ hot.

had a blast when i was there...great girls and everything dont change a thing

I have gone to dozens of clubs through the years, and found this to be the best one I have ever been to. The envirement and the girls were incredible. The one huge thing that set it apart from all others is the girls worked the stage not the floor.
Don‘t change a thing.

Had a great time at the Lumber yard, Very Sweet girls and Best Private lap Dances around.....

I had a great time with my boyfriend at the Lumberyard in Cedar Rapids!! He kept putting money down in front of me and I got licked and rubbed and was feeling INCREDIBLE by the end of the night. Girls, if you enjoy an occasional female encounter, keep your bra at home and head to the lumberyard!!

Boing!!! Boing!!! Spert!

I went to the one in Cedar Rapids, and I‘d have to say that it was absolutely nuts!! Go in on a friday or a saturday and you‘ll have the best time of ur life. I totally recomend going here. Alot of the strippers there were personal friends which makes it even better

I went there and I got a lapdance from an ok looking one but after the show...let me tell ya I got the best sex ever from one of them!!

I have been to the DSM one on new years eve.....first time I had been there. I had a blast!! I‘m female and I loved it!! The dancers were alot of fun....I had so much fun I was on stage!! The Cedar Rapids one is awsome!! I have to say being on the shower stage was the coolest thing yet for me!! I‘m looking forward to my next trip to the Yard...which will be very soon I have a feeling. Thanks for the great times and memories :)

i had an awesome time at the lumber yard and that cindy chick a 10 a fucking 10 i still got wood

The Lumberyard‘s website sucks and is poorly organized. For example, they do not give the address or directions to the Lumberyard in Des Moines or Cedar Rapids. Please spend some money and get someone with some website development skills and make a presentable website or do not have one at all....

All i have to say is i‘m in love with a stripper.

I don‘t like naked people, so I will never go here!

I had never been to a stip club before going here but if you want my opinion as a female there were some very beautiful girls there and i would definetly go back. The amateur night was pretty sweet also!!

Not a good choice if you can pony up and head down to the west side to Beach Girls instead. The ladies at the Lumberyard we so-so at best. The one exceptional young lady was completely rude and the biggest reason 6 of us left. I had one lapdance that was good from a blonde who looked like Julie Roberts. She was very sweet and had a nice ass. Me and my buddies will not be going back.

I lost George...and about 99 of his twin brothers in there!! May have to go back several times to try and find them!!

HLRacing

i wanna see my aunt oil wrestle one of those hot you women.

I had a damn good time here- 1st strip club I been too, and there was an amazing girl who gave me a private dance...She constantly kissed me while giving me the dance- damn she knew how to shake her ass....

Wish I could have had a p-dance with Ashley. It is a rip off if you pay in advance for another session and do not get it. Otherwise it‘s a get time during the week, weekends are too busy.

Great private dances on Friday afternoon. Not a huge crowd and they treat you like royalty.

well ron jermery was there last xmas enough said

white trash dancers as usual--yuck!

inside is cool. girls are nasty. not worth your money

hot women but too busy

if u want a real club come down south and they will show u southern hospitality

Don‘t waste your time here. This place sucks. The 2 for 1 Tuesday special is a total waste of time since they waste to much time before and after the dance. I‘ve been to other places so I can compare.

a ten!! a fucking ten!!

Getting blah latley Looking for something new now.

That was the best place I have been to!

i live in california and i have been to 5 or 6 different clubs in california and none compare to the lumber yard every summer i go to iowa to visit family now i have 2 reasons to go
