Cheeks
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.
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.
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.
