This place is located in a mixed, fairly well-developed area that includes an indoor shopping mall, big-box retail stores (Target, Lowe's, etc.), typical suburban chain restaurants, and some commercial/light-industrial buildings. Don't get the wrong idea, though; this place is divey-looking and sticks out like a sore thumb amongst its neighbours. The exterior looks run-down and has the appearance that it's been there much longer than the rest of the businesses in the area.

The building itself is divided into a bikini bar on one side and a nude club on the other. I think there may have been an adult bookstore in the building, as well. Or maybe it just had that feel, I don't remember. When I arrived, the bar half was open, but the nude club didn't open until later, around 7pm. The bar is small, with the bar along the wall to the right and a slightly larger open area to the left that has rudimentary seating along the walls for lap dances. The interior is dingy, primitive, and cheaply constructed, with the feel of plywood and spray-paint. About as basic of a bar as you can get. My immediate impression of the patrons was that they were a mix of drifters, gang-bangers, and ex-cons, with a couple of clean-cut, military-looking types thrown in. The dancers were mostly rough, hardened and older, with a couple of younger ones in their late teens/early twenties.

I took a seat at the bar, had a few beers, watched ESPN, and just soaked up the place. It wasn't crowded, but it wasn't dead either. The dancers were mostly sitting or standing around the bar talking to each other. There was no real hustle for dances to speak of.
