"The Block" area of Baltimore

People generalize this area a lot but anyone have tips on specific clubs to hit up for a safe, "clean" time, WOC, cheap dances?
I'm considering a trip and the reviews are all over the place

The Hustler/Little Darlings is the high-end club on the Block. A lot of the better talent gravitates there. Sadly the prices reflect this. It also creates a distortion effect for the dancers there. Many feel that if they work there, they are instantly 10s (most aren't). They ofter exhibit terrible cases of GPS. Almost all the other clubs are about the same... hole-in-the wall joints with a overly loud jukebox that are full of hungry people looking for something.
Inside the clubs, anyone with money is very welcome. The girls and bartenders only see the color green. This should be obvious, but NEVER use your credit cards here. Let's just say that data security can be lax in these establishments.
There is cheap parking available (the garage at the top of the Block across from Hustler's is usually $5/night). Street parking can be a hard to find or not very desirable (don't be surprised to find a homeless guy pissing on the side of your car or having a picnic on your hood).
This area is relatively safe as long as you're smart (hey, it is Baltimore and rule this applies to almost everywhere downtown). The Baltimore City PD is headquartered at the bottom of the Block. There are a lot of visible cops because of this, but they have work to do and don't usually get involved with the clubs unless they need to.
I hope this helps -- there are a lot more clubs than just the Block. The Ritz is in Fells Point (go on Mondays for the 1/2 price specials). It feels as if it has fewer drug users, and it definitely has prettier (in my opinion) dancers. The Goddess is closer to the Stadiums and has a lot of girls that are really fun to talk to (a lot of dancers by night/artists by day). Scores is by the men's prison downtown. They have some very pretty girls, but they also have some very high prices and very restrictive policies.
FYI, the reviews for the Baltimore area are pretty accurate... I write a lot of them :-)
20 years ago it was a fun place. I'd go with a group ( which I don't do anymore when going to clubs) and we'd make a day and night of it. Those days are long gone. Of the clubs mentioned in this discussion head to Fells Point and go the Ritz.
Any membership clubs ( often just called BYOB ) in Baltimore? They can be the best. Black ones (often the best of the best)?
