Stopped in during a recent trip...

Stopped in during a recent trip up 95; Hit some traffic and decided to check this place out since it’s only 5 minutes off the highway. Doesn’t appear to be in a bad area, but nonetheless there is a designated parking lot across the street with an attendant to watch the cars. The place is set up as a typical neighborhood bar as you walk in, and separated from the dancing area only by a low wall. The place is BYOB, so you can bring in your own drink of choice, but they charge a fee to serve it back to you. Since I was driving through, I only ordered sodas for $3.50 a pop ($5 with tip). Not a bad deal.

My visit was in the early evening (4-ish) so the bar was not too crowded. One of the five or six girls on staff danced at a time and collected a dollar or two during their 3 song set, so there was no oppressive dollar-parade. Quality varied greatly with a 7 being the highest and a 1 at the bottom (most I would say are an average 5). If you wanted a break from the action, you could grab a seat at the bar to avoid losing too many singles, or shoot a game of pool. The attitude of the dancers varied greatly, with some being pleasant and engaging, while others not so much. One girl got the obligatory dollar from me, and then literally sat on the floor and watched the TV for the next song, and texted for the one after that. I have no idea where management is in instances like that.

I went for a lap dance with a nice latina dancer, and found it a little, well, different. First you have to buy a ticket from the bartender for $20 (as payment for the first dance), then take the ticket to the bouncer at the dance area entrance; all other dance fees for the 2nd, 3rd, etc. are paid right to the dancer. For the dance, you walk down a narrow room with chairs on each side of you set back into lattice booths (not the best for privacy), and in each booth there is a chair shaped like a high-heel that my dancer just pushed to the side. The bouncer walked back about once a song to look in, but other than that, it was pretty secluded from the rest of the club, and as long as there aren’t many dances going on, quite private. The dancer took an article of clothing off at each song, and was just about to go fully bare, when I asked if the song was almost over …… she said 4 songs had gone by. I stopped it there and paid $80 total, but was a little annoyed …….. I wasn’t keeping count (shame on me), but would have figured 3 songs. I didn’t argue, since she could have been right and it was just as much my fault for not keeping track. I think sensing my surprise that I wasn’t notified at the end of each song (as I’m used to), she mentioned something like “I thought you knew how things went here”. Next time I will pay more attention; and if anyone is thinking about stopping in, I wouldn’t stay out of the LD area, but keep track of the songs!
