Keep in mind that LDs are actually illegal in DC; you won't even find it at Good Guys, Archibald's, Stadium Club, and other DC strip clubs either. I know it sucks.

Besides the LD-less factor, this place is still a hit or miss. Take it from someone who's sort of a semi-regular. From my observations, clientele tend to be predominantly middle-aged men (2nd most are senior citizens) in dressy attire.

Tipping a few dollars won't earn her willingness to sit and chat with you. $5: slightly better chance. $10: 50/50 chance. $20+: better than 50% chance. Of course each dancer have different personality, attitude, and preference of customers to talk to and can also depend on attitude you display towards her. Keep in mind as well that making an ally in your server will help your chances in chatting with whatever dancer, so make sure to tip your server reasonably.
