Like a gas station price war, something similar seems to be developing in Northwest Indiana, whether it's a result of this club's rebrand as a Knockouts sports bar, or a seasonal slump influenced by more…

Reviewers are instructed to explain why one should or should not visit a club, but I remain undecided myself, based on a Thursday night visit. I guess it depends what you seek. Free parking and…

The club is located close to lodging along 179th St, but the street itself requires a roundabout approach from the Interstate. The atmosphere is more bar-with-a-stage than club-with-a-bar. Besides a few chairs ringing the stage…

The entrance staff was very friendly. The interior furnishings, while not fancy, were more modern and clean than the club's plain-looking exterior suggested. I think the BYOB and BYOF (Buy Your Own Food)…

The club, situated below a Deja Vu, indeed has a basement feel to it. Low ceiling, less noisy, minimal lighting, minimal furnishings. Given no alcohol, the result is fewer and younger customers than upstairs,…

Anyone going there for the first time could easily miss the place, now that their "This IS It" sign is out of order along a poorly-lit road. Use a good navigation system. "Only" around 25…

As other reviewers have noted, the club is large, bi-level, modern and tilts toward Caucasian staff and clientele. On Tuesdays, $10 topless and $20 nude dances for regular-length songs, otherwise add $10. The…

Entry and a VIP wristband on a Wednesday totaled $45. The next step, literally, was surreal: half a dozen dancers greeting me as soon as I entered the main room, almost all of them nodding…

Wanted to see for myself if the private dances were as pricey and lame as other reviewers claimed. They were indeed $30 for exactly three minutes of Deja-Vu-timed music. More or less the…

Two updates: 1) $10 dances now available 4-8pm every weekday. However, the dancer population is likely low during those hours. 2) There is significant road construction in front which complicates the parking process, even with…

The club's layout is distinctive. Imagine a rectangle split in half lengthwise, forming two narrower rectangles. That sort of describes how space is allocated, one half for the lounge and stage(s), and the other half…

Cheaters' website gallery gives you a feel of the interior, although the camera lens exaggerates the size of the rooms and stage. Note: the photo of curved padded benches depicts a special seating area in…

Arrived around 5pm. Some dayshift dancers still accepted $10 instead of $20, at least when business is slow, and the toll booth for a one-time $10 entry to the corner couches was not staffed at…

Since Tuesday is 2-for-1 night, I expected to see more than eight dancers and more than 20 customers in a club that could accommodate 300 on multi-level stages and seating, but that was the peak…

It's been a few weeks since I visited; check current Lake County Covid protocols for any changes. A sign on the door advises that patrons, by entering, assume responsibility for any subsequent illness. Once inside, however,…

Club390 and Oceans both offer dance specials on Wednesday nights, but the latter was still deserted at 9:30pm while Club390 was active when I arrived around 10:15. As far as I know, all dancers consider the…

The club experience is remarkably similar to how it was pre-Covid, though a few things have changed. Bar seating is removed, but the table/chair arrangement is similar to before; about 15 tables with 4…

Maybe things are different on other days or hours, but the late Wednesday noise level forced me to leave after five minutes. There is no escaping it; massive speakers hang from the ceiling just…

For those of you who haven't read older reviews, the club walled off the entire north section (main stage, floor seating, DJ booth and adjacent dancing benches) for renovations in the fall, with intentions to…

Most of the dancers still seem to give a good (not-so-) private dance, even on $10 Thursday night, but there is more video and live surveillance than a year ago, so don't let your hands…

Your weekday experience may vary not only from one day to another but even from one hour to another. Even during the afternoon, when both dancer and customer populations are lower, there were…

It's my sense that dancer turnover is high, even though several claim this club offers better working conditions. When turnover is high, then you don't know what you'll encounter the next time you arrive.…

At first, I thought Lido's decided to follow the Inner Room's lead. Minutes after I arrived, the music switched from rock to urban and stayed that way for a good 20 minutes.…

I'll get right to the point. Keep walking through the club until you're almost at the $25 area in the back, but take a seat in the general $10 area. Why? 1.…

Pros: On Sunday afternoons, Cheaters has a jump of four hours on IR down the road. The dance section is arguably the most private and noise-free (or rather, least public and noisy) of…
