Not like it use to be when Marv owned the place. Paid $20 to get in. I ordered a drink and the bartender/dancer pretended that she didn't realize that I gave her $20 and tried…

It was fun while it lasted
This was my go to spot for what I was looking for. It's located in a neighborhood that some might feel looks a little sketchy but I've never had a problem. Parking is usually packed…

Stop #3 of my night brought me here. I passed by it a couple of times-either my sight isn’t is as good or they need a better sign. Parking was on the street, and being…

Loud and crowded
It was $5 cover to enter into this place. Lots of guys hanging around outside on the sidewalk. The place is long and narrow with benches and seats along the left side and the bar…

Waiting for it to blow up again.
OK all other reviews have been accurate.
Shady but quiet neighborhood.
5-10 buck entrance fee with a pat down by a self important security guard.
Paid the drink minimum fee and looked over the very pretty but low…

Decent crowd but boring dancers
Always looking to stop by but was disappointed this night. Usually a good spot to get your money's worth but there was a different vibe this time around, I'd say skip out slower days or…

Less than steller
Came to my fav spot after a long hiatus. Got the normal pat down at the door, paid the cover(5) and got my first drink of the night. There appears to be sales on certain…

Best go go bar
This was probably the best go go bar I've ever been to. Only problem is it can get a little crowded around 1 due to the limited space but I heard they remodeled so I…

Good spot for high mileage
Speaking with one of the girls, the club is to be closed for a few weeks for renovations. There's usually 10 or so girls working any weekend night. Dances are $5 and drinks…
