A review of the red raven ( it's listed as closed so I can't post on its page)

After a renovation the red raven is back
Setup
The entrance was moved over a few feet to the right so now you walk straight down the hall to get inside. The pool table and the couch rooms ( more like booths) were switched, so now you have a pool table on you left and 3 couch rooms right after that. Other than that the rest of the room still has the bar and stages in the same spot with the last couch room and the bathroom just to the right.
Condition
Bathroom is definitely cleaner but it still doesn't have individual stalls so not good for much except urinating. The walls and the lighting look a lot nicer, but the bar itself seems not to have changed much, but it did look pretty clean and I didn't see any of the old worn out stalls. The couches are still the old worn ones so that sucks.
People
Except for that one white dancer who was a fixture ( I think that her name is diamond) all the dancers and the bartender were new and mostly AAs ( though once they get a liquor license again they may get some others back)
Whats still to come
They don't have a license yet, I was told it's a matter of days ( we'll see)
What's changed
I was told by one of the dancers that there was a cover charge, but I was never asked for it so I don't know (also might be until the bar opens). The couch rooms have a thin curtain at the doorway so there isn't much privacy (though the one on the right seemed to offer the best angle to get some privacy). The girls don't seem to be as open they used to be (at least that was what I felt). Though the last two differences may change after they sell alcohol.
All in all not a bad place but I'm not yet sure that it's back to what it was
