Return After a Long Absence
I've only been to this club once before - several years ago when a friend took me on a discount-meal night - and the only thing I clearly remember about the visit was that the food was pretty good but the rest was unimpressive enough that I had no interest in returning. Decided to give the place a second try on a recent Friday night (after finishing early what I was actually in town for), arriving around 11. The place is not only not on a main road but also isn't visible from them; you pretty much have to know where you're going. It had a metal detector at the entrance (which I don't remember on my last visit), so maybe they've had some problems? Everything felt chill this night, however.
Upon entering, the private dance area is to the immediate left, the bar is directly across, and the rest of the floor and single stage is to the right, with a large screen beyond it that usually played the music videos for songs but would also list the current and next upcoming dancer; that's a feature I don't think I've seen anywhere else but really like, since DJs are sometimes incomprehensible with background music. It's a medium-sized place as far as floor space in Indiana clubs go, and the layout has changed little or not at all in the past several years. Furnishings and decor were also very typical for Indiana. Business was remarkably light for a Friday night and didn't pick up much in the hour or so I stayed; one older dancer I talked to lamented the management, which she didn't think was advertising it well enough.
Dancers do the standard three song rotation on stage and may or may not get topless while doing so; seems to be at their discretion. They will do table dances, and private lap dancers are the standard $20 per song. The options weren't anything special; seen worse, but only one - a petite brown-haired girl who looked pretty young - caught my interest much. She seemed to be circulating with another girl in tow. When she eventually got to me, she explained that it was the other girl's first night ever in a strip club and she was showing the other girl the ropes, so after dollar dances from each she asked me about going back with both of them for a song so she could show the other girl how it was done. I was intrigued enough to go along with it. She eventually explained that she was relatively new herself, and it showed in her very basic lap dancing technique, but the contrast between her smaller but firmer breasts and the other girl's bigger and softer ones was pleasant and I had some fun coaching them a bit on what guys like and giving them some pointers afterwards. (I am a teacher by trade, so my instincts took over, I guess.)
Didn't get the food this time, or anything alcoholic for drinks, so I can't comment on that. Overall, I might go back again if those two girls are still around and have improved some.
