I hadn't been here in years. A recent weeknight visit won't encourage me to go back soon. The renovations, such as they are, appear to be the covering of the walls with something…

I made a second visit to Marios on a recent Saturday night. Not as good an experience as the first time, in part, perhaps, because Nula, the most memorable dancer from my first time,…

Saturday was my first visit to Mario’s – and not my last. The club is easy to find, about 15 minutes off the Mass. Pike, in what appears to be a safe neighborhood.…

Conversation between two customers, overheard Saturday afternoon at the 'Gras: "This bill looks fake." "So does what you're paying for." A better experience than my last afternoon visit. Perhaps 14 girls, 60 customers mid-afternoon.…

Alas, how the mighty have fallen. Time was when Kahoots/Vernon was among my favorite clubs. Yes, $30 for a dance was more expensive than anyone else, but one got value for the money:…

I hadn’t been in since the remodeling. Center Stage, as the old Club 418 is now called, now features a high stage surrounded by bar stools in the center of the room (get it?).…
