I went to Club Petra a couple months ago to see Cherokee D'Ass, the pornstar, as a feature dancer. She came pretty late though, so I never actually got to see her unfortunately, so here's my review of the club itself. The club is in a fairly desolate area in Queens, but near a main road, and actually sitting almost on top of a a subway station, so getting there is not a problem, and I didn't like I was in any danger.
I paid $15 cover, but I was there relatively early, and there was a feature, so I don't know if that's the norm or more than usual. They weren't really pushing a drink minimum, so that was nice. The ATM was out of commission when I was there, though, so I had to talk the manager into letting me get cash at the bar. There was a low catwalk style stage for the dancers, and tables nearby, but no brass rail area. The club is pretty big. The main room doesn't have dividers or that many tables, so it feels like one big room. One wall had booths that I assume you had to pay for. It looked well-kept; I didn't notice anything that looked dodgy.
The dancers I could see were all pretty nice. You could tip at the stage, or dancers would come around and talk to customers as well and you could get some grinding contact for a small tip. I held off from privates for a while, but I eventually caved. Most of the girls there were black, but the dancer I chose happened to be white. Her name was Sky, and the main selling point -besides having a cute face - was an amazing rack. I felt like the lap dance area was private enough, and there was a little loveseat behind some curtains. I paid $20/song for a couple really nice lap dance.
One thing I want to call out that I liked about the club was that the crowd was extremely co-ed. Lots of people were coming out with their girlfriends, and I even saw a group of girls together on a night out. So it had a more club-like feel than the most places where you feel like you're in a crowd of voyeurs.
