This used to be one of...

This used to be one of my favorite strip clubs in Denver, but after some time away, I've found that it has become much less enjoyable. The door cover is a fairly steep $15 a head, though that is to be expected from a club which does not serve alcohol. The same might be said about the $10 price of a soft drink, though I remember at one point not too long ago, they sold for half of that. The interior of the club remains much as it has for the last few years, with a single, low level stage surrounded by circular couches, a small bar area stage with a pole, and three elevated stages surrounded by chairs. There are several tables spread around the open areas of the club, each with cushioned metal chairs similar to what you might find at a low end restaurant. There is a DJ who makes a half-hearted attempt to actually mix songs together, but in general just plays one after another. In the back there are two private dance areas, one is considered "VIP" and costs $10 to access with a girl, while the other costs $5 and is considered the "normal" private dance area. Both of these fees are in addition to the $30 base price for private dances.

The dancers that were present the night I went represented a fair spectrum of quality and diversity, with body types ranging from petite to husky. I found that, while many of them were quite nice, several dancers who appeared to be more "professional" were all business and seemed as if the customers were more of a burden they had to bear rather than the source of their income, giving dirty looks and showing attitude when they were turned down for private dances or when they were only given a few dollars at the stage. When I did decide to take a girl back for a private dance, she became quite a hustler and before I knew it, the base price of $40 ($30 for the dance and $10 for the "VIP" area) became $80, as she told me she usually charged $40 for topless, $50 for fully nude, and an additional $20 if I wanted to be able to put my hands on her legs/butt while she danced. While this development frustrated me, I did not want to leave, so I agreed to pay the money. Sadly, the dance was not worth the very steep price and even when I pointed this out, the dancer gave me an attitude when I said I did not want a second.

All in all, the club seems to have slid quite a ways in the last few years, with steep entry and drink prices, additional fees just to get a private dance, and dancers who seem to have no problem raising the prices for their company to obscene levels and then who have no problem giving you an attitude when you don't like that fact. This being said, if you are careful with your money, and don't mind paying a premium for all nude and a club which is open until 4am all week long, this is still better than many of the alternatives which can be found around the city.
