OK, the review's a bit late...

OK, the review's a bit late (was there early December 2011) but things couldn't haven't changed that much in two months.

First, we'll start with the club. Upscale doesn't quite cover it. The atmosphere, staff, general layout, everything is first class. And first class COSTS.

Drink prices were not too bad, with beer about $5 US and good mixed drinks less than $10. They'll sell you a full bottle if you want, got a liter each of decent vodka and excellent Russian cognac for about $60 total. Figured we'd save a few bucks mixing our own but they did hit us for ice. What the hell.

Dancers rated a 10 plus. Russian women are beyond beautiful and this place seems to get the cream of the crop. Most of the dancers started off in formal gowns and finished in birthday suits. None of the sleazy US club ankles behind the ears, look at my ass displays, these girls knew how to dance nude without being raunchy.

Downside was price. Private dances were about $30, but there's a strange system. If the girl walks by and asks you if you want a dance, it's $30. If you ask the waitress to get a particular girl for you, it's $60. Problem is that none of the girls walk around asking if you'd like a dance, so figure $60 for the first and $30 for the second, same girl. Dances are worth the money, however, as, depending on the dancer, you can do anything shy of a fistf@ck. Extras are available but not on premises. You have to make an appointment with the individual girl, about $300 for one hour. Waitresses, by the way, will also do a private dance for about $40. You can get a waitress or dancer to sit at your table for about $20 for 10 minutes, problem was that very few spoke understandable English. Again, what the hell.
