I've been to the other two...
I've been to the other two clubs along Bunkum in Washington Park, but hadn't explored any further until recently. I was actually cruising by The Hustler Club to see how many cars were in the lot, when I spotted the sign for Hollywood Show Club. Looked like a nice place, and not too busy, so I decided to stop in.
It's a very well maintained facility, with a security fence and a visible security presence in the lot, which was appreciated. No apparent valet service, which was also appreciated. The cover for a Saturday night ($10) seemed reasonable.
The club is huge. As you enter, there is a large open space, with a bar across the room and slightly to the right. There are three smallish stages, one off to the left, and two more beyond the bar to the right. I didn't explore the entire club, but there seems to be ample seating at tables and also on couches around the perimeter to accommodate a large number of patrons.
Dancers that I saw were in the 6 or 7 to 9 range. No super-models, but none that I saw that I'd kick out of bed. I did see a lot of ink, which I'm not a fan of, but it's not a deal breaker. I've seen fewer and fewer tattoos in the clubs I've visited around the country, which is a trend I'm very much in favor of.
I sat at the bar, and it wasn't 10 minutes before I was approached by a young lady who had more than just a couple brain cells to rub together. She didn't open with the usual stripper patter, but instead engaged me in an actual conversation. It was very refreshing. She did take time to discover that it was my first time in the club, and explained the options and cost. She also discouraged me from the high-end VIP, explaining that there's no value or extra mileage available, it just costs more for the same thing as you can get in the other rooms.
We moved to a table to talk for a bit. To her credit, she didn't rush to get me to the back. We continued to talk while I enjoyed my beer, then we finally agreed to head back to one of the private areas. They offer bed dances, in this case 4 for $100. Here's where I became a bit disappointed. She was a "bouncer". Rather than slow, sensuous, erotic moves, she basically just hopped on top of me and bounced a lot. Her moves were sort of unfocused and frenetic. That probably works on some guys, but I usually want something more intimate. Her other move was sticking a tongue in my ear. Over and over again. Once is kind of hot. Repeatedly is kind of gross. She was topless, and did a lot of grinding, and let me suck on her nipples, but that was about it.
Before we started I explained that I don't usually go to the clubs in my own back yard, and I only came in with $100 for some drinks and a couple lap dances. She cleaned me out, and offered something extra if I wanted to visit the ATM. I never followed up on what that meant. She said, "Tell me what you're interested in, and we can discuss price." I explained again that I had a limited budget on this visit, and she smiled and said, "I know, I'm trying to get you to hit the ATM." But I'd just gotten home from a business trip, had one evening free, and wouldn't be able to explain a large withdrawal at that time and that place.
I looks like a nice place, and I may check it out again sometime. But, again, most of my club hopping takes place on the road. I don't have many opportunities when I'm home.
