I'm home... Finally, I'm back in...
I'm home... Finally, I'm back in the DC area, after venturing off to WV, Baltimore, Philly, SNJ and NNJ.
A TuIesday afternoon (2pm); so, I decided to stop in at the Ebony Inn. Now, the Ebony Inn is located a couple hundred yards from the DC line (Eastern AVE), Maryland side, it's still safe enough for all to patronize. Speaking of which, after reading previous reviews about the sketchy area, IDK what most of these dudes are talking about? I mean, I was born and raised in DC; although, this area has had its share of crime and unlawful issues, its never been a major area of concern (compared to the other areas that are a few miles north, south, east and west of Fairmont Heights). As a matter of fact, this side of the DC area is more commonly known for good soul food restaurants, the ederly and a family-oriented community. Aside from the transvestite prositution, a few liquor stores with older alcoholics - bumming for cash and the occasional crackhead fights, etc alongside Eastern Ave and Sheriff Rd. My point, there isn't an abundance of concern or alot of threat of violence and crime surrounding the location of Ebony Inn. But, as always (in the DC area), be aware of your surroundings. And, mind your business... and it's all GOOD! You should enjoy the Ebony Inn.
At the Ebony Inn, there is limited parking. Why? Because, the strip club is located inside of a drive-thru liquor store with bar and grill. Decent fast food, available, made to order. You are welcome to park in the parking lot across the street, a church with plenty of parking, car safe enough.
The Ebony Inn got its most recent popularity, reinvented, for being a daytime strip club with exotic lap dancers, most popular hours from 1pm to 7pm. Previously, a few years ago, Ebony Inn was open between the hours of 10pm until 2am. However, since the closing and teardown of the Skylark Lounge on New York Ave, Ebony Inn has acquired Skylark Lounge talents and management. Yes. Ms Margaret and "Daddy" (that's what I call him) the ex-owner of the Skylark Lounge are managing the daytime shift at Ebony Inn. Thus, if you had an ATF at Skylark Lounge, you may be able to find her dancing at Ebony Inn (daytime).
Upon entry into the main entrance, you are hand searched by security, bouncer. Then, you are directed up the hallway to another door (another room), where the ATM machine, desk lady (pay entry fee), pool table and full bar (alcohol, snacks and food). The restrooms are located at the end of this room. Be advised, the mens restroom is very small, only room enough for two patrons at a time. Nevertheless, serviceable and clean. Be advised, you will hafta use the sink to wash your hands, located outside of the restroom (between a wall, separating the pool table and the mens restroom door). Honorable mention, the sink has a mirror and a shelf with various brands of soaps, colognes, hand lotions, deodorants and after shaves. Go figure, lol smh?!! :)
Entry fee: $10 (Monday - Tuesday); $12 (Wednesday - Sunday).
However, I do believe this cover charge is subject to change. I paid $10 on my visit.
The strip club is separated from the bar by a single swinging door. Be advised, upon entry into the strip club area, it is very very dark. Your eyes will need a moment to adjust to the darkness. In front of you, you will notice a rectangular stage area, separated by guardrails, where the dancers perform. And, at the back of the room is a lifted platform with DJ equipment, four speakers and two flat screen TVs mounted up on the wall (no DJ - prerecorded rap music and the TVs playing BET rap music videos) and the VIP section (with tables and chairs). Around the stage area there are many small tables and chairs with hanging flourescent colored lights, all tables have hand sanitizers and a box of napkins. Upon entry into the strip club area, if you look to your left, there is a small room with a closed door for VIP dances (the old DJ booth); and, if you look to the right, there is another room where the dancers change into their dance attire (store their personal belongings). The Ebony Inn has been remodeled, so its decent enough in size and appeal; and, comfortable enough, to enjoy lap dances and privacy.
There were 3 waitresses, available for convenience (food, beverages and $ change).
The lap dances are $5 per song, open-room. The entry fee into the VIP room is $20, the lap dance(s) cost is negotiated, prior to going into the VIP room. Importantly, many of the dancers will quote you a flat rate for VIP lap dance(s), upfront; so, negotiate, accordingly.
Now, for my experience at Ebony Inn...
At Ebony Inn you will never be hassled or harassed for lap dances. The dancers are very cool in character, tactful, well-spirited and easily accessible. They vary in size, sex appeal, race and ethnicity. Also, I had noticed, the customers were of various race, creed and color... As a matter of fact, I chose a dark corner of the club to sit, and an older caucasean gentleman was getting a very sensual, full contact lap dance with a very sexy, tall dark-skinned WOC (woman of color) at the table next to mine. I mean, they were so involved with each other, I immediately got up and repositioned myself to another chosen location. Why? Because, I didn't wanna disturb or intrude in on their privacy and fun, lmao smh! Hey! I hate it, when some dude comes over and cops a seat next to me, when I'm getting a lap dance; especially, if it's very intense, full contact and/or sensual. More importantly, I thought to myself, "It would've been more intrusive and disturbing if some dude was peering over at me and lap dancer in full contact, fun, etc smh!" You feel me? So, I moved...
At that moment, here comes Action... Now, "Action" is a WOC, thick and very very very friendly. Although, Action is a lil too thick for my personal tastes, she is very friendly and accommodating. Her and I sat, together; and, we had converse for a moment, without lap dances. We had light conversation; and, we had talked about changing her dancer name to "Da Closer." Ms D.C. Why? Because, within 3 lap dances and she'll close the show, OTP or ITP (inside the pants), lol. If, you're into "the quickness", thick WOC and you are on an "in and out mission" - then, "Action" is your ideal option. You won't be disappointed. IMHO, Action is specially-equipped for the BIG gentleman, day laborers on break, mailman, FedEx drivers, etc that need to get in and get out. No BS... strictly bizness!
After, my conversation with Action, here comes Sunshine... Now, Sunshine is a attractive, WOC (caramel-complexion), long hair (weave?), tall with an athletic build. Be advised, I had seen Sunshine, OTC (outside the club). I was parking my car at the side, rear of the building and Sunshine was outside, walking around, talking to some other dancers. After I had parked, a random dude pulls up in his old school Cadi, parked next to my car; and, he called out to Sunshine (by name, "Sunshine") to come over to his car. She looked up at him; and then, she blew him off, with a short wave of her hand... Dude, chuckled (so, did I). And, then he whispered to me, "Wassup wit deez broads? She knows me!" I replied, "IDK Cuz? Your guess is (just) as good as mine, shrugs!" I walked into the club.
Nevertheless, Sunshine walks over to me, ITC; and says, "would you like a lap dance." I, declined. Why? I didn't like her attitude, OTC. Plus, she gave me the impression that she was a stuck up ROB. No good... Besides, I wasn't feelin' her vibe (something about her was NOT cool)!
Here comes Dimples... Dimples is mixed (50% black & 50% white), young (approx 23 y/o), long hair, average height with a slim/athletic build. Now, Dimples is (just) my type, slim and curvy! Of course, I agree to a few lappers... And, like most of the aforementioned lap dancers at Ebony Inn, Dimples lap dances were very friendly, full contact, unrestricted and sensual. I was almost to completion, until I looked up... and then, I had noticed a white girl, standing at the guardrail in front of us, twerking. I mean, she was "droppin" it, HOT! Nice. Now, I hadn't seen this particular chick at Ebony Inn, before. More importantly, I luv 'em all (i.e., caucasean, hispanic, brazilian, etc); thus, I don't discriminate (EO employer)... For obvious reasons, Dimples noticed my attention towards the caucasean dancer; and, her lap dance enthusiasm increased (not that she needed to increase the motions for my pleasure); however, Dimples did want to keep my full attention. And, it seems, that she was losing my attention, focus. Besides, you know how it is? Most dancers are territorial and competitive, by nature, never wanting to lose to another dancer... If, you know what I mean? But, too late! I had finished the song and lappers with Dimples, paid Dimples (w/tip) and thanked her for her sensual, full contact, unrestricted and attention detail lappers. Good job!
Afterwards, Dimples sat with me, until I had excused myself to the restroom... Y'all get the rest?!!
I come back to my table and seat... The caucasean chick is dancing onstage. I check her out. A pretty good dancer. A waitress comes over and asks, "Sir, would you like a drink, food or change?" I replied, "No. But, can you go and tell the white girl that I would like a lap dance..??" The waitress walks away. Then, she goes to the dancer, while onstage and whispers in her ear. Immediately, the dancer follows the waitress over to my table... and, the waitress waves her hand, towards me sitting in my chair. I, thank the waitress (and give her a couple of dollars)! The waitress smiles and walks away...
Then, the dancer leans over to me; and says in a soft voice, "Hi. My name is Snow Bunny!" I'm like, "Huh??" I mean, lmao smh... I did hear what she said; but, Snow Bunny? I wasn't expecting that kind of a name... I mean, that's like a WOC dancer, amongst prodominately white strippers at a rural area strip club... coming up to a white dude saying, "Hi. My name is Black Beauty!" To my white bros, "Wouldn't that feel awkward? Or, not?" Anyway, moving along with the story...
Nevertheless, I tell Snow (that's what I called her), "I would like a lap dance." She replies, "Sure." Now, Snow is attractive, caucasean, approx 25 y/o, long dark hair with an athletic build (similar to Dimples). Immediately, she mounts me, cowgirl and proceeds with a slow grind. Glow worm, lmao! I'm at attention! She allows my hands to roam all over her soft body. Unfortunately, I don't have a tit fetish; so, for all of you titty-boys, I have no memory of the tits shape or size! My main focus was on the hips and "the middle..." Speaking of which, all areas of her body were undisputed and unrestricted... If, you know what I mean? Enjoyable. This chick was comfortable. Accommodating. Fun. Hands-on treatment. I was completely satisfied.
Happy Ending...
Although, Ebony Inn isn't in the most glamorous building or surrounding area. What it lacks in appearance, it makes up for in sex appeal, variety of dancers, club atmosphere and coin spent. Well worth the visit... IMHO, Ebony Inn is slowly emerging into the best urban strip club in the DC area. The urban strip club with friendly dancers, a safe environment and frugal for the economical patron. I'm never disappointed, here!
Enjoy Ebony Inn!!!
