Paradiso (AKA Champagne Room) is a hole in the wall in a ghetto neighborhood. There is a $5 cover at night, but no cover before 7. Drinks are reasonably priced, but the bartender is always the slowest I've ever seen. Usually there is 1, maybe 2 bartenders. You have to flag them down to get their attention, even with no crowd. There is a stage shower/tub, but in all my years there I have never seen it used. There is a pool table as well. The DJ is usually jammin' and even the tapes played in the afternoon are good.

The girls are all black and the talent is hit or miss. The lower quality dancers are more aggressive, so I stopped tipping them because they stay so long that you can easily miss a chance for the hotter girls. You can keep the bump and grind going as long as you keep feeding her the dolla bills (about $1 a song or 2). A LD is $10 and very high mileage. Pay for 2 or 3 LD to get a HJ and wet finger. Pay a little more to get a whole lot more.

The bathroom is disgusting. The sink don't work so you can't wash your hands. So you will leave smelling like whatever you did in there.
