I had a former coworker in...
I had a former coworker in town for a visit and he had never been to Detroit. I decided to take him to see the sights and we ended up at HC Detroit. Having come from DC, I know how those clubs are and I told him the clubs here didn't compare and were much better. I told him to bring anywhere from $200-$500 depending on his expectations while also explaining the concept of VIP dances. We arrived around 9pm, presented the coupons currently available on the website for free admission, and went in to find a place next to the stage. I would say the club was sparsely crowded, but business picked up later into the night. The special this night was $3 you call it, which means $3 drinks 9pm-11pm I'm told...and this included domestic bottles, foreign bottles (I was drinking Guinness), and well drinks. I think you had to pay extra for the good stuff, but shots of patron were reasonably priced at $4.50. My friend went crazy, because $8 shots are normal in DC. I tend to buy dancers drinks when they are priced low, because I treat it like tipping them, and $3/drink is nothing. However, pay attention if you're doing this as one girl ordered Hennessy on the rocks which ended up costing me $15 and I gave her shit about it for the rest of the time she spent talking to me. I probably blew about $100 in total...the bulk of it being in singles. I was happy that the waitress willingly made change and I tipped her every time I ordered drinks. My buddy and I are businessmen, so we dress the part and were approached by women the minute we walked in the door. I was approached by a young girl, white, short, covered in tats with brown hair. I think her name was Shawntel, but I'm not certain. We chatted for some time, I bought her a couple shots and a beer. After about 30 minutes, she wanted to know if I wanted a dance, but I wanted to interview more of the help to see if they were going to earn my money. She left saying she was going to find a sucker and I told her to come back later if I was alone, because I would probably want a dance. My Buddy was approached by a white dancer, curly brown hair, shoulder length, with bangs. I think her name was Jolie, but I'm unsure. She talked his ear off for a while, but after giving him a tour of the upstairs VIP area, he returned to the VIP, while I was content to keep interviewing the dancers trying to find 'the one' and throwing singles on the stage. They had about 3 relatively good looking, girl-next door blondes working the night shift. I didn't catch all their names, but one was named Roxy/Roxie. They all had natural boobs and one was absolutely gorgeous. I was not approached by any of these girls and I didn't notice if they were disappearing to the VIP. My buddy returned some time later, and we continued to drink and throw bills on the stage. I tip all the girls on stage, so almost all of them come over to the table to talk when they're done dancing. The last girl I made small talk with was a light-skinned black girl named Paris. In the course of talking I asked her what she did for fun and after she gave her response, I said "You leave nothing to the imagination". I would've gotten a short dance, but we were ready to leave. We left the club about midnight and made some small talk with the hostess before getting the car. She told us she was since retired from dancing and was married, so there was no chance we were going to see anything. Everyone at this club was very personable and friendly. I didn't feel hustled and thought my money was well spent. My buddy admitted upon leaving the club that he ended up getting a CBJ/HJ for about $250. He was gone for a while, but I wasn't really keeping track of the time. I told him he was totally ripped off, but he said he was happy to have paid that much and really enjoyed himself. However, while he likes white girls, he's black, so he wished we would've waited for a dance from (I think her name was Simone), a thick black girl with big boobs, a nice caboose, and some tats. He said he will definitely be back and we both agreed that almost all the girls were relatively good looking. Mostly 7s with some 8s and 9s. Good variety of dancers, mostly white European, with some blacks, and one girl was part Syrian (although she said it was her last week at the club. Their drink selection was quite good, and typical of most bars.
