This place has been the king of the hill for years and years now. I see them wobbling. Entirely because they seem to have forgotten that the first and only rule that matters is to entice the best girls and get out of the way.

I adamantly disagree with the sentiment of this response.
Giving good dances to strangers for the posted rate ($20/song) is the definition of a good dancer. Suggesting you should have to tip over that or be a regular to get a good experience is just absurd.

Thought they had quit that non-sense. This club can be OK, just worth going sometimes, but if the only seats you don't have to pay for are lame, it just makes it a little bit worse. YR can't afford "a little bit worse".

I agree, girls here have great attitudes and overall this club is a great value, even if you're looking at mostly a 5-8 range.
One thing I would add is that while dances are only $5 on Tuesday, they only play half songs. I'm not great at paying attention when faced with overwhelming distractions, so once while between dancers I timed a few songs and they all ran barely 2 minutes.
Still a deal but not THAT deal.

This was meant for P10 RR

Yes overrated. This place is kind of a dive with the B list dancers offering discounted (albeit shortened) dances with a cheap VIP. Most of the time dances are still only $10. Does not compare to P10 in terms of overall quality for example. Just surprisingly good sometimes, but definitely not reliably, for the kind of value oriented place it is. Seems to be on the, um, "liberal" side also, which helps.

Good review, but one thing...
There is nothing "usual" in Austin about "more touching" 30 dollar dances unless you are using code for outright extras. You can get high mileage dances in any club in town for the normal $20 and in a few place $10 dances. Any dancer that tries this is just telling me her $20 dances are going to be sub par.

Would never pay $30 for a dance in Austin. Glad to be alerted that the Rose of all places is trying to get this. Good luck with that.

OK old story but maybe you'll still see it Shaggy.
You can look at this 2 ways...
You're a pathetic loser who got played by a stripper for maybe $5K-$7K more than you should have paid for the...um..."services" you were enjoying.
OR
You spent roughly $7000 on a cold sexy bitch who did what you needed done to get your Dick working again when you were on the verge of permanent irrecoverable loss of wood.
I'd say you got great value for your money!

Class (as in college) or no class, you have made it clear that unbeknownst to you, you are unconsciously puritanical/conservative about sexuality as compared to most dancers.
I've been around strip clubs for more than 15 years and I am telling you right now it is not for you. I'm not saying you're not hot enough, or charming enough or won't make enough money. I'm saying it may eat at you in ways you might not even notice and it will probably not end well if you're not done with it soon. Just a prediction make without a shred of malice. I've seen this first hand many times. There are lots of girls that can merrily strip (and often extra to varying degrees) merrily and with a light heart...you don't sound remotely like one of them. Good luck.

"If you do 9 dances, charge him for 9 dances and not 10! And always ask if he wants another, don't assume anything."
This is good business. I like strip clubs and I always get plenty of dances. I can't tell you how many times I've had a dancer tack one on...and missed out on twice as many right then and there as a result. And I never say a thing, I don't even blink, I just tell them thanks goodbye.

Jess,
I have been to a lot of clubs over a lot of years. In my experience there are 2 kinds of dancers.
Women whose personal value system allows them to be guilt free about sexual expression and all manner of consensual sexual activities. They are not seeing sexuality as a negative or something to feel guilty about and can sometimes enjoy or at least feel fairly neutral about what they are doing...like any other kind of entertainer. Form some this translates to extras for some not this isn't about what they choose to include in what they offer.
Women with "traditional" values who feel sex is dirty and for example would actually use a word like "slut" as if it means anything.
The former tend to do fine over time as dancers doing whatever it is they choose to do, sharing themselves within limits defined by their own comfort.
The latter feel like they are selling their souls, they secretly (and sometimes not so secretly) come to despise their "slimy" customers even just dancing topless. The latter tend to turn to drugs and alcohol to make it so they can fake it and to make the job bearable. Sometimes they do extras while drinking...they are already hating themselves for dancing so why not make some more money. Sometimes they don't do extras and maybe just give really lame dances and grasp to some ludicrous sense of superiority over the other dancers because they do "less".
You sound like the latter. If so, I predict that this job will burn you out fast. You don't sound suited to it and should stop.

...or as Chris Rock so perfectly put it (paraphrased a little) "it's not right to say black people are making progress in America. It's condescending. What? My grandfather wasn't someone a white person should be willing to share a restaurant with but now we're better? No. That's Crazy. Better to say white people have gotten less crazy" :-)

There is still racism. At this point the dumbest most desperate 20% of white people are racist at most, at least in the 40 and under demographic. Next generation it will be 10%. Trust me, if you are white and racist, we know the truth. You're a failure at life, frustrated and want to blame your inadequacies on things beyond your control when they are not and this is all you've got.
But 80% of us are not racist. So don't attribute every perceived slight to racism. People are rude and inconsiderate to one another all the time. People are often randomly inconsistent for no good reason. Get too focused on race and you sabotage yourself.
BTW not even every clearly race motivated act is racism. A dancer trying to act like she thinks you want her to act is not racist, just confused. Preference isn't racism either - it's natural for people to want to be with people that they think are like them (race, culture, age, sex, interests) and that's not racism either and it even makes sense on a lot of levels even if taking it too far can lead to a very narrow life experience. Even the guy who chooses to tell you dance prices because you're black isn't really a "racist" if there are a lot of lower income black communities in the area.
To me racism is when you try to attribute superiority or inferiority on the basis of race (not the statistically valid guess that you might be low income in some areas, but rather the stubborn belief that if you are successful you must have gotten lucky or benefited from affirmative action) or when you take actions to harm someone on the basis of race like denying them services or employment. Racism is when you think of yourself as being on "team white" and want your team to win.

Overall I like your attitude. Strippers are 100% entitled to be treated like and given the respect deserved by all decent human beings (until and unless they start in with the manipulative ROB games).
Be clean and spend money...generally be polite and pleasant...you bet! If you let a girl sit and chat with you for more than a few minutes and don't either plan to get a dance or tell her you don't then you're an exploitative bastard for sure. Personally if i get a "wanna dance" or "want company" from someone I'm not looking to stay a simple "I'm OK right now thank you" suffices.
Buy alcohol? No, not required. There's usually a cover and you're supporting the club's entertainers with tips/lap dances (they rarely if ever pay them, but they need them). Heck most of the time the water is $4 anyway so you're even covering the club. NEVER feel obligated to drink. Bad bad bad (BAD) rule. I suppose going to a club, just paying the cover, not ordering anything and staring at the stage without tipping is tacky 9worse if there is a free buffet :-). Pointless. Boring. But yeah, tacky.
Stand up? Really? Are you serious? It would be like a freakin catholic mass if we stood up every time a girl trolled by to see if you wanted a dance or "company" in the clubs I go to.

"First of all it should be known that all strippers are only about the money, most strippers have fucked up lives outside the club, and only 5 to 10% of people have enough game to bag a stripper."
Do you realize that your first sentence actually contradicts itself :-)
You're half right, it's about the money.
These girls generally know most men would rather "charm" them into bed and also give them a nice $Gift than just pay them for sex. A rather surprising percentage would also be offended if you offered $Gift as a straight up overt payment, but are happy to let you leave some $ to "help pay the x", just because you like them and want to help out.
So basically, as long as you are clearly willing to pay the piper with a smidgen of tact, your lines will all be witty, all of your jokes hilarious and every subject you find interesting will be interesting to her as well. With money, 95% of people have enough game to bag a stripper but are allowed to feel like it is only 5% to 10% and you are just nailing it and making an amazing connection.
