Since I only have so many...

Since I only have so many quality clubs around me to pick from where I know I will get good contact, I continue to try and debate what the best metrics are to compare one club to another. I think I stumbled upon a good one, though, the last time I was at Scores. Unfortunately, it's not one you can judge based simply upon one trip, because one trip can fool you. It's not even one you can judge based upon a few trips over a short period of time. It's one you can only evaluate after years of going to the same club, though only once in a while, to understand.

The metric is "Quality and Retention of Regular Dancers." This is where Scores gets high grades.

Yes, Scores is a more expensive club than most you'll find in Chicago or even around much of the Midwest. The lappers are $30, you kind of have no choice but to pay the $5 parking fee and the cover is $12 (though there is a textable number you can send a message to if you want to skip the cover). Drinks aren't necessarily cheap, either. But, you know you have to account for incidentals when you go to any club and as long as you're prepared for the higher cost of them at Scores, you should be able to plan accordingly.
