When I lived/SCed in Dallas (2000 – 2009) Pandoras was part of my club-rotation – back then:
+ it was a BYOB dive
+ custies were mainly Mexican laborer-types that often came-in in-groups and mostly drank and just-watched
+ being BYOB it closed-late (most Dallas clubs served alcohol and closed at 2am) – back-then the club was mostly a weekend-night place (not much of a dayshift and pretty-slow on weeknights at least early-week) – being that it got busy on Fr/Sat eves; dancers kept fairl bus selling-dances on those 2-nights
+ back in the 2000s it was pre-Cubana-invasion and I’d guesstimate the dancer-makeup was approximately 50% Central-American (mainly Mexican w/ some Salvadorians/Honduran/Guatemalan); maybe 25% (white-trash) whitegirls; and 25% AA-girls; roughly speaking – the club was pretty-good-sized and on Fr/Sat eves probably had 30 to 40+ dancers
I briefly visited Pandoras in late-2018 on a Dallas-trip and it seemed the club’s M.O. had changed a bit mainly in the dancer-makeup – in my brief 2018-visit it seemed mainly Cubanas and there also seemed to be more Cuban-custies – I didn’t get any dances in my 2018-visit; from what I recall if was still a dive and BYOB – given what appeared to be a heavy-Cubana-presence per my 2018-visit, could be the club may be a bit busier on dayshift and weeknights now (?) – but this club seems to rarely get reviewed so I would “assume” it’s currently not-too-good (?).
There used to be an AA-dancer that occasionally posted on TUSCL that used to dance at Pandoras but her name/handle escapes me at the moment.
