3.5 stars & recommended. You wouldn't think it, but of the three (and ONLY three) clubs in the immediate Raleigh area, this one is your best bet. Even though the other two club spaces are much larger and more upscale, have (slightly) more attractive dancers, and have plusher and more private couch dance areas. Because the bottom line is that you'll get much higher mileage and convo for your LD dollar - and you'll get far less "air & attitude" - at PGC than you will at those other two Raleigh clubs.

If you are from out of town, the easiest (though not quickest) way to find PGC is to take Exit 287 off I-40 and follow Harrison Avenue into Cary for about 3 miles until reaching the Cary Amtrak station at left at the Chatham Street intersection. Though a bit tough to spot from the road, PCG is just across the street, nestled nearly out-of-sight behind a convenience/gas store. It's in the top floor of a two story structure built on a steep incline. The "downstairs" is a large restaurant called Harrison's Bar & Grill; the "upstairs" of the structure is the gas store & PGC.

The two parking options are $5 valet-parking right at the PGC front door - or hike yourself in after parking free in the Amtrak parking lot. The club asks a $5 membership fee (good for one year) on top of the door/admission fee. They swipe your DL, no wand. If you expect to return, once inside ask a floor host for free admission passes.
