Is bigger better when it comes to adult entertainment? The Atlanta-based Galardi adult-entertainment empire seems to be betting it is. The company, which already operates four local strip clubs, is planning to open its biggest yet this fall, bringing some Sin City sizzle to the Southside.
At about 22,000 square feet, the planned Pink Pony South will be more than twice as large as the company’s popular flagship strip club off Buford Highway in west DeKalb. But the new club will also be more upscale than most of its local competition, according to Galardi executive Michael Kapp, with a “floating sushi bar†suspended by wires over the main dance stage. Patrons can get their sashimi by walking across a catwalk 25 feet above the floor. The club will boast 18 VIP rooms, a number of large flat-screen TVs and a mezzanine level. The complex will even have a steakhouse, called Fire & Ice, with a separate entrance from the club.
“It will offer adult entertainment in a nightclub atmosphere,†says Kapp, who adds that, like other Galardi clubs, Pink Pony South will feature a rotation of “name†strippers and porn stars from the nude-dancing circuit.
Apart from the original Pony and the non-nude Club 112 in Midtown, Galardi owns the Goldrush in East Point, Onyx on Cheshire Bridge Road and Crazyhorse in Forest Park. Pink Pony South will also be located just inside Forest Park, about a mile from the state farmer's market -- and a garter's throw from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, meaning the club is banking on strong business from conventioneers and travelers.
