Reviews of Mariposa Saloon (Night Club)

Alex Emslie

Audi's stage shows were supper entertaining and I was really impressed with her private shows. I would definitely recommend her if you go there yourself!

Coat check girl was very nice, sat down, there was only 14 people in there. Waited to get served and waited and waited. So We turned it into a game of how long myself and two friends could sit in there before we were served. We sat down at 8:22 and at 9:50 we still were not served, by then there was maybe 25 patrons. We had seen as many dancers as we had wanted by that time and left the establishment. I guess this is a dry establishment and profits are made by cover charge only. I spread the word as much as I can that this bar is closed down.

We had a little party over there over the weekend, it was fun and staff were great. Olivia, a dancer, was super nice and very caring. Thank you Olivia

Nikki Bigger

Had a blast with my friends! The service was great, the staff is super friendly and Id definitely recommend to anyone to have a drink!

Carmen Missiaen

The music is really bad and repetitive. Would have liked to hear more rap/hip hop/R&B pop. I found the staff were great though.

What's there not to like.....nuff said.! 1!

Chad Williamson

Had the pleasure of hosting my bachelor party here. The staff's attention to detail, hospitality, and professionalism was second to none. They went out of their way to make my entire crew feel comfortable. We treated ourselves to bottle service and had an absolute blast. The dancers were fun, lots of smiles, and helped us all have an extremely memorable experience. Would recommend for your bachelor party!

Colin CW

A great place for a gentleman. Drinks are expensive lap dances are a huge rip off.

Sean

This establishment used to be an awesome place to go to and I was a regular there. A couple weeks ago they fired Jolene (one of my favourite people to hang with besides Boston, Cici, Micki, and Isla) and it has gone downhill from there. The energy does not feel the same without Jolene. This single star mainly belongs to Boston, Cici, Micki, Isla and Ryan because they are awesome.

Chris Thornton

My favourite ADULT club to go to! Girls are fantastic, drinks are reasonably priced. If you're a guy/gal looking for a good time, l would highly recommend the Mariposa Saloon. Never disappointed. Get off your wallet a bit, find the balance and l guarantee you'll have a great time with the ladies there.

Sincerely Kat

Mine and my husband 1st time there tonight and we had an amazing time. All the dancers were so kind. Nikki and Jasmine and Boston? (I believe that's her name) were amazing. We went to go celebrate our 1st anniversary and they were all so happy about that. The person serving our drinks (I can't remember her name sadly) gave me this cool drink she made. We will definitely be returning in the near future.

Macaulay Brown

Went here for a friends birthday and had a wonderful, especially as someone who doesnt frequent this type of place. Had 11/10 service from Nikki the entire night (i think thats her name) who constantly made sure we were having a good time. overall excellent time especially due to the staff!

Leroy Mendoza

kyle matechuk

Beer tasted like puke(anything bottled was good), women were gorgeous, seating was plentiful, an enjoyable time overall, will visit again!

Logan Watson Watson

That was an amazing night.

Darius Cain

Layla nicks was a true professional! She did a great job during the live dance and the private dance I took with her! It blew me away all of her lovely tattoos and body. I will be hiring her again for the amazing 5/30$they offer at esq overall great experience

Matthew “Matty ice” Friesen

First time at ESQ, blown away by the exceptional customer service by Jack and staff! Highly recommended and will definately be going back!

Les Raven

Worst bar I've ever been too, this place has no class and is totally over priced. I would suggest to everyone not to ever try this place..

Max Graver

A nice environment, plenty of entertainment and a good selection of drinks. A good place to bring a few friends.

Mathieu Morin (Ljokerz)

well well well, i've finally fond a reason to become millionaire

utkanth sharma

There is this perfromer Sage, she was pushing so hard for a private dance. When I didn't budge, she started shaming me saying that I don't deserve to be in a strip club and what not. She used a lot of derogatory terms. Very unprofessional

David Varty

New location coming soon!

Warm Refrigerator

This place has very bad music

ArtExpression Sinha

This club has a great atmosphere. I have had the pleasure of meeting Layla Nicks, not only is she suuuper pretty ???? but also very kind! All girls here are absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend this club for social gatherings and I look forward to my next visit ????

Brad Wood

Didn’t let us in because we had been vaccinated in the UK even though it was still a pfizer vaccine, every other bar and restaurant throughout the rest of Canada had been fine with us and we wouldn’t have even been allowed into the country if we hadn’t been vaccinated

Philip Sinclair

Went there last night and it was amazing

Wolf Rides

Great place, great service and fabulous women. Would recommend to anyone!

Taras Gryba

*Edit for new location* Much nicer club than its old location. Massive amounts of seating, some games to play if you are looking for some arcade fun and a huge whiskey selection! Staff is super friendly and service is pretty quick. Like most places, the weekend gets pretty busy so it's always good to book a table in advance.

David Vincent

Never been to a strip club before, started here. Staff are great, atmosphere is very welcoming. Got my first dance there (actually, my first two), dancers are very, very beautiful! Special recognition for NIkki the bartender! I sat at the bar and, as busy as she was, she was always on top of things, she was great to talk to, and she made me feel very welcome. Nikki also gave me a run down on how it all works in a venue like this. I will definitely be back!

Allan T

I'll star off with the positive... Good atmosphere, nice decor with a good sound system. Poor service I went drinkless for about an hour at which time I left. Dancers were mediocre. No comment on the lap dances. Nobody came and asked me for one even after I told the server I wanted one. On the plus side I came home with money in my pocket. It will be a long time before I go back. Update: I eventually went back and have been back several times since. I found that each time was enjoyable and it is simple enough to go directly to the bar and get a drink. As far as getting lap dances it is best to approach a performer right after their show. 9 times out of 10 they will come and see you.

Jenna Beth

Layla Nicks is beautiful & talented, with an incredibly captivating energy ????????

Randy Marthaller

Just bad

Derrian Wolfe

Always been a good staple in the south. Easy to get to, and even easier to get a drink and watch the show. The staff is friendly. A shout out to Lexi, gorgeous fun and enticing. She will remember you on any of your subsequent visits and always treats you right.

Sammi Tully

100% the BEST Adult Entertainment joint in Calgary. My BF and Friends planned a huge party for me last night at Mariposa for my birthday because they know it's my Favourite. From the incredible serving staff to the Go-Go dancers this place is great! Before the party even started *when my friends were setting up* Ryan was accommodating and helpful walking my bestie to and from her vehicle and taking care if small details like hanging posters and making sure my FAVOURITE dancer JOLENE FOX was in the house despite not being scheduled. The front door man was fun and personable. He also walked us to our vehicles at the end of the evening to make sure we were safe. The Go Go dancers and Servers were friendly and the service was quick. They ALL wished me a happy birthday and made sure I was well taken care of. Ryan several times checked in on our table and made sure I felt absolutely loved for my birthday! Even going so far as trying to make sure I arrived in style!! He is an absolutely amazing manager! The music is GREAT, the drinks are GREAT and you can not go wrong with the exquisite dancing of Jolene Fox, Boston, Stephanie Sparks and more, you will NOT regret xo.ing to spend your evening here.

UGLY NORTH

Won’t accept vaccines from the U.K. I wouldn’t have been allowed into the country if I hadn’t been vaccinated, you turned away literally over a grand tonight, well done!

Nick Polini

I hope the servers and Dancers maintain the High Level of service at Mariposa as they did at ESQ......????

Eddie Whelan

Love this place!

Michael Caza-Schonberger

No stars would be a better rating. What a horrible, immoral place. I have to walk past it every day on my way to synagogue. All you men who go to this place ought to be ashamed of yourselves! Women deserve our respect, not sexual harassment!

Ian Pownall

Awesome service staff and great dancers.

Josie Adams

Audi is amazing I love watching her

Sim Vig

Went there yesterday. The girls are sweet and nice. Highly recommend

House Email

Amazing atmosphere and jordan is an amazing server ????

santiago baron

Girls are great but the place has bad music.

Matthew Smith

Always a great time out. Had an awesome time there and the bartender Nikki did a great job keeping up with our orders. Would highly recommend !!

Jonathan Regnier

Hey. Didn’t love the music. Staff was great.

Darren Fong

Smells like an expired outhouse. In heat.

Steve Makcrow

Have become kind of a regular here over the past few months. The staff here are great! Bartenders are always very friendly as are almost all the dancers as well. If you go there i suggest you do yourself a favor, get a double dance with Ivy Jewel and Ash! It's a absolute mind blowing time! They are two of the sweetest, sexiest, and talented girls you will meet!

Fearra LaCome

Super small place, few gogo dancers (Because let's be honest they are the best), slow service and huge gaps between shows. Great place for anyone looking to go to the strippers without being noticed by people who enjoy lively entertainment. BONUS POINTS: I have never seen a photographer here like at Boudoir so no chance of being caught looking like a perv online either!

Drey Stebanuk

Had a lotta fun good place to hold a party staff was amazing. And always made sure you were havin a good time olivia was by far my favorite !!!

Craig Stasiak

nothing but the best to say about this establishment true hospitality and the girls are simply amazing Ryan the GM is a true gent our beard club has been invited to numerous events with the club and they are always willing to help out with the charity's we work with helping to raise funds for all kinds the place is classy and is nothing what you think of when you hear oh the strip club seriously go there and see for yourself nothing but love for ESQ ????????

Reanne ODonnell

Drunk bartenders, slow service and crappy dancers. Used to have some awesome dancers but now it's full of young girls that have no talent or class.

Shawn Weir

Was told about a new dancer that i HAD to check out. So went down with the guys to check it out and have a few drinks. Service was decent and the girls were gorgeous. Had a private dance with Audi, and DAMN. Only one word could describe her........Shhhaaaa-WING. Lol. But overall a pretty nice place. First time ive been since it was rebranded, and did not disappoint.

Yyc Models

Always a great time at Esq. Lexii is one of the best dancers both on stage and in private dances. Professional fun environment, will always be back.

Lauren Hagen

When I (female) tried to enter with my friend (male), the bouncer wouldn’t accept my proof of vaccine as my last name had changed due to marriage. Even though first, middle name, birth date, and numbers verifying were all me, changing my name due to marriage was not accepted. (News flash, vaccine records will always show what you were vaccinated as, people get married and last names change). Fine. I wasn’t allowed in even when playing by the rules of being vaccinated and showing proof of such. The best part? When the bouncer pointed to my friend and said, “is this your husband?” We then said, “no”. The bouncer then said, “well if he was your husband we could let you in because he could vouch that you guys are married”. Are you serious?! So is this Saudi Arabia now? I need my “husband’s” permission to enter an adult establishment and drink? No thanks. Will never try to return or visit. Much better venues in Calgary that treat you like a person.

Peter S

Absolutely horrible experience!! Would not recommend to anyone. Had my birthday party here last night party of 13. They weren’t prepared at all. The go go dancer at our table was high as a kite and wouldn’t dance just talked. Waited an hour and a half for a drink and then left. No covid precautions either.

Jake Johnson

Finally decided to check this place out, I usually go to cathouse, it was really nice! The girls are lovely, jolene and boston both gave me a dance and the DJ, brian I think he name was, was awesome! Will be back for sure! Also the smoked whiskey drinks are phenomenal.

Simon

Staff were very friendly, especially the door man who was checking vaccines. While this is a strip club, it really came across with a very relaxed sports bar vibe with a nicely decorated western theme. Would happily return.

Chad

Great service AND biodegradable straws!

Y’all need to up your music game. The songs are old

Alex Gauthier

Brought some clients down from Edmonton. The music wasn't too loud, and the drink were reasonable.

Songman Calgary

Staff behind the bar are super friendly and do a fantastic job looking after regulars. One of the dancers Lexi is one of the nicest people to meet. She puts on a fantastic show and is great to sit a talk to, not to mention get a private dance from.

Random Gamer

The music in there was really bad. Get better music!

Coral Thorkelson

Terrible place, doesn’t pay their dancers, their pay is their tips, and they have to pay out at the end of the night even if they made no tips, meaning they have to pay from pocket. Management is always high or drunk, and extremely rude. Management also forces the bartenders to dance, and force all dancers to post on their social media or be fired. THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE, DO NOT GO!!!

Jessica Doyle

Always a great experience here. Definitely make sure you go on a night when Layla Nicks is working. One of the most beautiful, talented dancers I have ever seen! 10/10!

Ethan Lawrence

I went out the other night and watched Audie and Lexie and both of them were absolutely amazing incredible dancers thank you so much for the amazing night

Boyd Nowek

Closed out my bachelor party last night at Mariposa. We showed up with 28 guys and no advanced notice but the manager found seating for all of us and made sure we had a great time. Our go-go dancers were awesome, especially Chantal. The service was outstanding all night. I highly recommend Mariposa. Best strip club in town hands down.

Kelly Robin

Went there after a concert on Tuesday for a capper and was not dissappointed! The girls are great, the service was awesome and had a great time! Great way to top the night off!

jane doe

Best place ever

Strip Club Reviews

If you're a long time follower of mine, you know I'm not the biggest fan of the Alberta strip club scene, what with the lack of private dance quality and quantity. But y'know what? This one is not bad. I found the bar staff to be helpful, friendly and hot (shout out to that one blonde, whoever you are). There was usually a girl on the main stage, lots of go-go's, and while the Provincially enforced standards for private dances of course applies, the VIP lounge is private and comfortable. And I got offered a dance shortly after arrival. This might be the top place in Alberta at the moment.

Steve Soltice

Great experience. Lexi is amazing, an absolute gem. Awesome show for an amazing girl. Check her out. Love her so much. She is the reason to go.

Aisha Abu-Shiraz

i was super impressed by solina she was the nicest person ever

Romaine South

This place is bunk af can’t believe it...not to mention the music aka trash.

William Wallace

AMAZING NIGHT!!!! First of all we went here as a fluke and it turned out to be the mostawesome time...for a stripvlub it actually felt like a "everybody relax" club ! And the door man Jack was the first door man I have personslly met that cared about what we thought ???? I don't usually do reviews ever so let this be known that this establishment makes sure to squash all stereotypes GO ESQ ???? P.S. Libby tending the bar was perfect too!

Jay Jay

Always have a really good experience at ESQ. the staff is great. Always enjoy Mickie’s company especially. She is very easy going and fun to hang out with while we are there enjoying our time!

Sam Best

Shout out to Audi! Great place and great fun!

KT

Last night I went to Mariposa for some birthday celebrations. The drink service was a little on the slow side but the dancers made up for it. All the girls were super friendly and Sophie Summers was fantastic. Her stage shows and private dances are top quality. If you are lucky enough to to be there while she is dancing, be sure to spend some time with her you won’t be disappointed.

Alex Barro

I enjoy going down there especially when Lexie is dancing I enjoy her company and her beautiful smile. Besides Lexi being my favourite the club's got a lot of beautiful women

Danny Barbosa

Usually a fun time but last night the bartender got super upset because i did not tip her for a single coca-cola. She said i had to and was expected to pay tips and that she can accept cash while i was walking away with my drink in hand, this caught me off guard but i proceeded to tell her that tipping was optional and it was just a coca-cola during this short interaction she stared at me for a bout 30 seconds at a time without saying anything. It was a interesting experiance. I also did mention that i tried to tip but the machine just went to zero percent and that maybe if we ordered more i would try again. But regardless it was not a very pleasing interaction and a little bit odd. I was waiting to see what she was going to say but i was just starred at for a while.

Zackary Morin

I was actually surprised how good the food was.

Gord Robinson

First the decor is very nice,sound system is good and most of the staff is good looking i like how the dress also. As for the dancers i find very few are good looking and they are not very friendly i have been to esq several times and not once asked for a dance basically ignored.

David Cote

They promised a Vegas style V.I.P experience. And I must say, VIP it was! If you are in Calgary, don't forget to stop by.

Justin Bird

Audi has awesome shows and would be reccomended for VIP

Anonymous FearNothing

Share a review, Mairposa Saloon, Cat House , Boudoir Rouge there all the same. Venue - Atmosphere, look , and the staff all change depending on where you go. Mariposa - Well, there are some nights you wait … for your first drink to come . The servers are friendly always. They may not always make the order correctly but they do bring you a drink. GoGo's - All walks of life. Different styles, body types and looks. There are definitely some who put there heart into it . But there are some for sure you know that are there to collect whatever is given to them. Dancers - All different styles and body types. Some very about the want to go for a dance. Others actually take the time and get to know you . Security/Doormen - Sometimes absent. Sometimes very "over the top with their job". They believe there above everyone else at times. We get you have a job to do but end of the day you don't need to be unfriendly. There are times when things happen that you would expect security to be involved with but there not which is surprising. DJ/GM - Well, All i can say is he has his hands full on any given night. But he does run a decent club. Between the 3 his hands down is the better of FMEs venues.

I walked in about 7:00pm and the place was hoppin. I found a nice spot next to the stage where I could get a good view of those amazing cha-cha’s and hoo-haw’s those girls were flaunting around that night. A few dollars, and a few drinks later, I was approached by a good lookin broad who asked me if I wanted a “private dance”. She told me she would show me a good time I won’t forget. So I said, “Same to you baby, I just hope you don’t have a nut allergy” and I winked at her. She started laughing pretty hard and began snorting uncontrollably. The two guys to my left and my right looked over and noticed the dancer laughing and snorting, which caused them to start laughing. At this point the four of us were all starting to crackup pretty hard and some tears were starting to shed. Pretty soon everyone began to take notice, from the dancer on stage, the bartender, the bouncers, and even heads were poking out from the “VIP” rooms. Before you know it the whole damn place is cracking up and everyone is in hysterics. The music stopped, and all you could hear were a hundred and something different laughs. The original girl (the snorter) had pee dripping down her legs, one of the bouncers was on his hands and knees, the girl on stage was sitting and hanging on to the pole just to stay up. This is where it got weird… After about 5 minutes of this, you could see the insanity set in. By the looks in everyone’s eyes, I could tell they wanted to stop but just couldn’t… except for me. I wasn’t laughing anymore, and it started to feel like a nightmare. I stood from my seat and looked around at all the casualties. Not a dry eye, or even pair of pants for that matter. One man looked me in the eyes and pushed through his laughter just to shout’ “WHY?” Another voice from across the room shouted, “PLEASE, PLEASE, SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP”. The first girl fainted, but continued to snort while unconscious. I began to feel dizzy. A man stumbled outside, then quickly returning with a pistol. He stumbled towards the stage, knocking over chairs and tables, while his gun flailed around at his side. He rolled himself on to the stage with a maniacal laugh. He used the pole to pull himself to his feet, where the dancer on stage was now lying on her back, seizing. The man kept laughing harder, and harder, slowly raising the pistol to his head. He said in a laughter, “God help us”… BANG! I shouted, “Someone call 911!” which made the crowd start laughing harder. The bartender grabbed a phone and dialed, but started to laugh at the operator, unable to speak. I knew I had to get out. Still dizzy and in a haze, I began to head for the door, stepping over bodies and shoving people out of my way. Once outside the door I could still hear the laughter and I knew I had to walk away and as far as possible. I heard sirens making their way towards the club. I made it about two streets or so before fainting. I woke up about 30 minutes later in a front yard somewhere, and called an Uber back to my place. I treid to shake it off, and knew it would be a night I would never forget. Gave it 4 stars because one of my drinks was a little weak for the price… Worth checking out.

James Jaffray

Very polite staff, Great music, and the girls are beautiful. My only complaint is that the washrooms were pretty disgusting. All in all 4/5 would come again (with more money lol)

Shantelle Robins

Only good thing about here is midnight madness. The manager is rude to regulars, staff, and customers. He should be charge. He beats people up for no reason and has put my friend in the hospital. The dancers are unfriendly. Except a select few. This place used to be one of the best places and has turned to the worst. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

Auston Preece

im a horse :$

Garey Kirkland

Great place...I spend most nights here!

Martin Roy

That was an amazing night.

Ruben Esterhuizen

Okay location, decent service, music could have been better!

Les Frey

Jolene Fox and Boston are the best...I will drive across the city to see them perform. They are a great asset to the company and are great people to talk to and get private dances with.

Vinesh Dewan

Honestly wish the music choice was bit better, staff was great! But the DJ’s gotta step up his game.
