The Brass A** in Newport,Kentucky

Ok, so this is definitely a silly post but I have to do it. Newport and Cincinnati (Cincy) are neighbors and some areas in the city close a littleeee earlier than I would like.

So, I ventured over the border to Brass Ass Strip Club, probably one of the oldest in the area, it opened in the 70’s. Definitely a historic site.

Formerly owned by Larry Flint himself the founder of Hustler Magazine, seems to be a whimsical ( if that’s the best term) staple in the area.

I went in with a friend briefly and I kinda hated myself at first, but we ended up having a great time.

Now, I think adults who haven’t been should try it out, but caution this is not a classy club. I’m Florida so we have different strip club standards 🙂, but still a good time.

I’m curious if any locals or travelers have good stories about this place. Let me know 🙃.
