Checked out PoleKatz for the first...

Checked out PoleKatz for the first time after having read all of the reviews on this board. Pretty much everything people wrote gave a good primer to the joint. The space is pretty huge. It's perhaps one of the biggest strip clubs around Chicagoland area. The night I went there was over 50 girls working the floor, but given the large space, you would hardly know it. It seems like the larger size of the crowd kind of offsets the added number of girls. But as others have written, there is a great diversity of women, which makes finding a girl that you like somewhat easier. There really are some gorgeous girls working there.

I did notice that it was pretty difficult to catch the attention of some of the girls though. It seemed like I would have to approach the girls that I was interested, because otherwise they would never make to me. The quality of the dances depend on the girl. There was a Russian dancer who was pretty amazing, but then there was a redhead who was anything but. The dances are in the backroom where there's a bench that runs along the wall. Honestly, I didn't mind that it wasn't private, because this is a pretty typical setup. As most people have already noted, it is best to get a dance during their 2 for 1 specials, and you really get nothing special from the nude dances ($30) compared to the topless ($20) ones. Make sure you tell the girl in advance which you'd prefer though, especially if the girl doesn't ask. You don't want to pay for something you didn't want.

All in all, I would say the place is worth revisiting. They offer alcohol, the staff are friendly, there's a ton of girls, and the quality of the dances are above average. You may not be able to get as much in the way of mileage compared to a place like Industrial Strip, but I actually like the fact that there's more variety in women. And it seems better to pay for dances one by one versus getting 3 dances for $60 at IS. It means you can stop after one dance if you don't like the girl or her performance.
