"Pop-In" vs. "Hangout" clubs
In addition to selection of drinkwear (/discussion/87587) , another way to categorize SCs is between “Pop-In” clubs and “Hangout” clubs.
“Pop-In” clubs are places you go to accomplish a specific goal, with no intention of spending any more time than you have to. “Hangout” clubs are places where you don’t mind spending a bit of time, having drinks, watching and tipping dancers on stage, and maybe grabbing dances with multiple dancers, possibly with no intention of seeking extras.
As the above description should suggest, “Pop-In” clubs, by definition, are places were extras are generally available and are, in fact, the norm. That’s not to say that all clubs where extras are available are Pop-In clubs. I can enjoy myself hanging out at Club Desire in Providence, but have had good experience with extras there. (I will say that I don’t really like hanging out at any club, including a nice one like Desire, after I’ve experienced FS, except maybe to have a good bye drink with my companion). I classify Risque Bristol in suburban Phila as a hangout club which happens to offer reliable FS, although it is considerably downscale from Desire. 229 Centerfolds in Worcester and Fantasies in PVD are on the bubble between Pop-Ins and Hangouts for me.
Of course, there are plenty of Hangout clubs where there is little or no chance of extras.
OTOH, I’ve never had more than one drink at Purple Orchid in Phila or Pleasant Moments or Bishops Corner in Bridgeport and have often not finished a drink I ordered before leaving those places. Never ordered a drink in many trips to Delilah’s Manville because you can’t buy one.
Does the distinction between Pop-In and Hangout clubs make sense to you? Any good examples of “Hangout”-quality clubs where there’s a reasonable shot at extras for somebody with a little game (or, no game)? How about clubs “on the bubble” (i.e. decent extras prospects but also some pretensions of a decent club environment) ?

But they have all the bottled water you can drink. They also come in handy for some spot cleaning in a place that has a lot of unidentified stains...

Tootsies, Deans, Cheetahs all in SoFlo are hang out clubs. Where Vegas or LA is Pop-In and leave.

I find the distinction between Pop-In and Hangout clubs is too nuanced. A club could be a Pop-In for one PL and the same club could be a Hangout Club for another PL And the same club might serve as a Pop-In one night and a Hangout the next night depending on the PL's motives.

Nobody is hanging out at COI clubs. Get in and get the fuck out. And a bunch Jersey spots like XXV, Centerfolds, Breathless etc. You not gonna like hanging out there, but FS is available and maybe a gem is working.

By "pop-in" you mean the low rent brothel clubs with girls doing high volume. Many areas have one of these. Not really my cup of tea, but to each his own.

Most of our clubs here in South Florida are fine to hang out in, but sure you could pop in many if not most places find a girl quick, get your rocks off, and leave. I guess it’s all about you, and what you want to do.

I do think it can depend on what one is in the mood for on a given night and also what sort of crowd and dancers are at a club. For me, in a way, the more pushy the dancers are, the less likely I am to want to hang out. I'm less of a small talk person and more one who likes to watch the stage shows and girls circulating around over time and approach at my own pace.

Sams Hofbrau and jumbos clown room in LA are great hangout spots. Club Platinum in Vegas. The last chill relaxing clubs without the Cuban hustle. I miss pre covid chicas bonitas

In Atlanta, Tattletales and Pink Pony are good hang-out clubs. Definitely good but pricey VIP at TT. Less so at Pony but can still lightly scratch that itch with the right room and girl. An up-and-cumming hang-out club w/VIP is the new Synsations.
Bubble clubs would be Vivide, Onyx, and Gold Rush. Generally solid VIP, but not much of a club vibe that I'd just want to sit and have drinks while talking with beautiful women.
Not sure of any strictly pop-on clubs - maybe Pin ups, and similar?

It's all in the eye of the beholder. You could hang out 4 hours at Pleasant Moments Bridgeport, though you'll get approached by all the girls within 30 minutes (and possibly in a fight with a drunk working class local). And I wouldn't want to spend any more time in that shithole than absolutely necessary.
