I just went in with grenades, and picked off the remainder of baddies
with the shotgun from the office. Took me a few attempts, but it was
waaaaay easier than the bank heist mission.

Just now beat it the way I did most of the other GTA IV missions, 
completely by accident. I was able to successfully block the back door 
with a stolen car, but in spite of this I could only manage to gun down 
one of the three strip club managers. The other two raced out of the front 
door past me and down the alley into their waiting getaway vehicle. Not 
wanting to replay the mission an eleventh time, I hopped into a convenient 
Banshee and tore off after them. Strangely, they kept driving around in a 
circle in Bohan and never got far enough away for me to fail the mission. 
Eventually, their SUV rolled up on my hood at one point and rolled over 
into a fence, immobilizing them. One grenade later, I've met the mission 
goal. 

-KKC, who wonders if he gets free service at the strip club now.
