Fun place
This place is in a small town across from a restaurant. Has parking in front and on the side. From the outside just looks like any other small town bar in Wisconsin. Walked in and was kind of surprised that there was no cover charge. Not sure if that is normal but I got there around 10pm. Small place on the inside but I thought quite inviting even if it is a little run down. Bar is right there when you come in and the stage is off to the left. Very low key here. Music not overly loud and the lights pretty dim. There were only about 10 customers in the bar maybe. One really good thing is that it is very laid back. Definitely not high pressure. Not sure if they serve food. I saw about 5-7 dancers, all were black except for 1 (I think) and the bartender who was white. The dancers and bartender and the customers were very friendly. Dancers had a little bit for everyone. Couple of very skinny ones and also a couple of thicker ones with bigger racks. Got a drink at the bar and within a minute or two a dancer had come over to talk to me. Nice girl, gave me the rundown of the place with dances, VIP and the like. Since I was only passing through, I was not really in the mood for any dances so you will have to do your own research on that. One thing struck me. After I turned down the request for a dance, the girl let it drop. I hate when you are constantly hounded for dances and feel like the dancers are a pack of wolves circling wounded prey. Prices seemed pretty average. I think beers were either 4 or 5. There was no cover charge which is always a plus. The girls all did the customary tip walk after there set and were quite nice to talk to. VIP room was (I think) 170 for 3 songs which i thought was a bit steep. However, I could be wrong on that price as I was not looking for VIP and not really paying much attention when she listed the prices. All in all I think I was there only about a half hour to 45 min. Would have liked to stay longer but had a ways to drive yet. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. I plan on stopping back in and checking out VIP room. People were nice and beer was pretty cheap. Figure why not see if anything else is on the menu there.
