Back to Pittsburgh for business. Got a few recommendations for this place during the evening, so went to check it out. Didn't really strike me as a sketchy part of town, but didn't seem perfectly safe either. You can valet for $5 or park across the street in a vacant lot for $5 (club owns the lot). I used valet so my car would be in the well-lit lot in front of the club. Had to pass through a metal detector to get in, which both raised an eyebrow and made things feel a little safer. Fortunately, the people inside didn't seem like the gun-toting crowd. Lots of floor seating around the three stages, with VIP booths all around. I didn't do any laps or VIP, so I have no idea what that would be like or where in the club it was, but it was an option. Price was $25/song, which I think is steep for a topless club. Girls were decent, with a few that really knew how to work the pole. Strangest thing was that you can't get next to the girls on stage. In fact, you have the bar and a big gap between you and the stage. So, no tipping unless you throw money at the girls. Some people were doing that, and some girls seemed to enjoy it, but it struck me as a little degrading.

Overall, I would go back, but I also wouldn't be against seeing what else the city has to offer.
