Bikini dive with friendly bartenders and cheap beers; uneven talent, variable nights.

Cheeks is Delaware's only topless-permit-free club, operating as a bikini bar with a dive-bar soul. Reviewers praise the bartenders (especially Bella and Laci) and genuinely cheap drinks, but the talent floor is inconsistent—most dancers average 5–6 in attractiveness, with occasional standouts. Weekday afternoons and Monday–Wednesday nights draw thin, low-energy crowds; Thursday–Saturday evenings bring 10–15 dancers and a friendlier vibe. It's a solid pick if you're in Wilmington and want affordable entertainment without pretense.

How this is scored
47/100

Shabby highway location, free parking, dim two-pole stage, couch area off to the side.

Located on South Market Street in a rough-around-the-edges part of town, Cheeks reads as a roadside dive from the outside. Inside, a square bar wraps a central two-pole stage; a couch dance area and VIP booth sit off to the left. Parking is free and plentiful. The room is dim and dated—reviewers note it hasn't changed much in years—but the layout keeps the stage close and intimate. Not luxurious, but functional and unpretentious.

44/100

Lax security, slow service, friendly bar staff; cleanliness and respect inconsistent.

Door security is present but inconsistent: wand checks happen, but thoroughness varies. Bar staff (especially the bartenders) are genuinely friendly and attentive; one reviewer noted a bartender's persistent but charming tip hints. Service speed lags during busy nights. Cleanliness and respect are mixed—some reviewers report a dirty environment and lax enforcement of rules, while others found staff chill and approachable. Safety is adequate with multiple bouncers on duty.

Cheap lunch specials—burger or chicken sandwich for $5, draft beers $1.50–$5.

Cheeks shines on lunch value: a burger or fried chicken sandwich runs $5, and draft Coors or Bud are $1.50—among the cheapest in the market. Evening drink prices are reasonable (beers $4–$6, mixed drinks $12). Food quality is basic diner fare, nothing special. No cigars or hookah reported. The lunch special is a genuine draw for daytime visits.

Mostly 5–6 range, rare standouts; thick turnover, best Thursday–Saturday evenings.

The roster is diverse in ethnicity and body type, but talent quality is uneven. Most dancers fall in the 5–6 range; a few standouts (like a fit blonde and a curvy woman named Diamond) earn praise for looks and interaction. Professionalism varies—some dancers are engaging and fun, others distant or overly aggressive with tip pressure. Lap dances run ~$20 per song (2021–2023 reviews); VIP champagne room sessions were ~$160 for 15 minutes (2022). Thursday–Saturday nights draw the better talent; weekday afternoons and early evenings are thinner and less polished.

80/100 SW score
Perfect spot after a long flight Had a layover that turned into an overnight stay and this place was exactly what I needed. The parking situation is solid - felt safe leaving my rental there. Drinks were reasonably priced and the girls were friendly without being pushy. Good way to unwind before heading back to the terminal.
70/100 SW score
Decent but nothing special Been here a handful of times over the years. It's convenient if you're in the area but the talent can be hit or miss depending on the night. Some of the 'O' Girls are great, others seem like they'd rather be anywhere else. The lighting is better than most places though - actually lets you see what you're getting into.
50/100 SW score
Expected more for the hype Buddy dragged me here saying it was the best spot near Philly. Maybe I went on an off night but it felt pretty average. The drinks were overpriced even for a strip club and the whole 'Oasis' theme feels forced. At least parking was easy and the place felt safe enough.
