I stopped in on a Friday...
I stopped in on a Friday afternoon, not having been to Blackjacks in quite a few years. I thought i would see how the club was doing. Because the road has been re-routed, the club comes up fast, and I almost missed it. There is still plenty of parking available, though, even though the road is closer to the club. There was also no charge for parking, at least during the afternoon. The club is in a fairly remote area, and looks clean on the outside, and not flashy. It looks smaller on the outside than it feels on the inside. When I walked in it was really dark, and it took me quite a while for my eyes to adjust. Every part of the club except the bathrooms is like that - really dimly lit. The music was loud, a little more than I'd prefer, but not out of the ordinary. The guy at the door told me that it was a $5 cover for daytimes. There are signs that say that there is a two drink minimum per hour, but no one hassled me about that at any time. Once my eyes adjusted, I could see that the club was clean and straightforward. There is a small bar area immediately upon entering, and then across from the bar a single stage. Between them were plenty of tables - again, perhaps more than I'd prefer, if the club had been full. It would have felt crowded to me in that case. But, there were only about 4-5 men in the club, and so it wasn't cramped. Around the edges of the room were curtained VIP areas, and the other side of the building (to the left of the entrance) is the room with stalls for private lap dances.
There were 3 or 4 girls dancing, and a couple more who seemed to just be hanging around the bar and eating. There was reasonable variety to the girls that were there: two black girls, one of whom was more voluptuous and one who was thin, as well as a thin brunette and a more curvy blonde. One of the black girls was pretty aggressive with making contact - she caught me before I had even found a seat and gotten my eyesight back, and asked me if I wanted a dance. I told her I wanted to settle in first. She came back by my table two more times pretty quickly before any other girls did. The blonde seemed to be locked in on one customer the entire time I was there, and never made herself available to anyone else or to go on stage. Eventually I made contact with the brunette. She was friendly and conversational, not pushy, and when the club announced a 2 for 1 dance special, I connected with her. She had just finished a set on stage, and spent a fair bit of our dances talking about how hot she was from the stage, and how she was sweating out all of the alcohol from the night before. In some situations, I'd have found that annoying, but it was kind of hot that day. Even with the complaining about the heat, she was into her dancing, and definitely made sure that I was enjoying myself. She was very fit, and only had one or two tattoos. Both in the regular area, and then in a VIP booth afterward, she made my trip a memorable one.
