...would you opt for a trendy late-night restaurant or good old-fashioned strip club in your neighbourhood?

I'd go for a decent Restaurant, can't be doing with too much excitement at my time of life ;o)
There is a chance I'd go to the former. Not that I am against young ladies disrobing but I don't think I'd make a direct arrangement to go and see it. I suspect, like balders, I'm, past it!
Given the circumstances, I'd go for the strip joint.

A pub that has been there for years, and seemingly does not trouble the residents with late-night noise and bad behaviour seems far preferable to a load of numpties with too much money piling out in the early hours and slamming sports car doors and shouting.
I see Andy, people that go to these restaurants all drive sports cars, a surprising piece of stereotyping from you of all people!
TTT - I was being sarcastic - but not for the first time, it gets lots in translation.

On a serious note, I would suggest that people coming out of a late-night restaurant may be more prone to making noise - albeit without realising how much noise carries at night - as opposed to strip club patrons who, in my experience, like to slide away nice and quietly.
Here, we have a facility that features the Grateful Dead each night and day - it's called a graveyard. That's all there is, unless the sheep arrange a disco.

The nearest pub is 2.5 miles away and they have just had a nigh-on £50k fine and costs for killing one of their customers - a Sunday lunch and she died on the way to hospital that evening.
EEK ! did they put cyanide in her Martini ?
Twas the lamb, the cheffess not washing her hands and they had evidence through the chain from the bowl to her kitchen, the remnants of the sheep and what came out of the poor woman.

You make them sound like the Dirty Mac Brigade Andy, talk about sterotyping.
Baldric,

As I said, I do speak from experience.

In the 80's I worked a lot reviewing bands in a club called The Tin Can in Birmingham, it was the third floor of an old factory, the second floor was a strip club.

Quite often, the two lots of clientele would leave at the same time, the kids being loud and raucous, but the gentlemen from the strip club would quietly slip away to their cars, or walk home, always trying not to draw attention to themselves.

I make no judgements, that's just what I witnessed.

You're still making them sound like the Dirty Mac Brigade imo.
Baldric - Of course that is your opinion - I am unsure why it matters so much to you.

I also left the venue quietly and without drawing attention to myself, but I never felt like part of anything - dirty or otherwise.
Both, preferably. Variety is the spice of life.

///I also left the venue quietly and without drawing attention to myself///

Mmmm!
Do people still say trendy? Gear!
Baldric - // ///I also left the venue quietly and without drawing attention to myself///

Mmmm - what?
Restaurant.
It looks like the actual choice is between the devil they know - one that causes no problems - and the devil they don't. I'd be sticking with the club if I lived there too. Changes of use can be very disruptive.
I have a Art Deco Burlesque club with fine dining and trapeze artists just 5 mins walk away and a Michelin starred pub about 3 mins away. But that is the joy of Brighton .
