Everything reported here recently remains true. It is a bit of a dive. Parking is free, cover is five dollars (remember, this was during the day), and it is very dark inside. It looked and felt clean, but who could tell? A few tables facing the bar and the stage, which is sort of like an extension of the bar. I didn't see the usual tables abutting the stage for people to sit and tip, but maybe one or two of the corner tables would've worked for that purpose. Beers are pricey. I only saw the shot girl once, but I didn't spend a lot of time out in her area. Few customers were there, and it was dark enough that I felt like the only customer.

After I got my drink I was approached by a dancer, a thin caucasian woman with dark hair. She was very upfront, but also willing to sit and talk. Music was low enough that we could hold a conversation, until the DJ cut in to announce whatever DJs announce when no one's listening to them. She didn't ask for drinks or push a dance aggressively, which I appreciated. It was ten dollars for the VIP room, then the negotiation for what happens in the VIP room takes place. The VIP room lacks a certain amount of privacy, but there wasn't anyone else in it, so that didn't make any difference. Hustle factor wasn't that bad, but when the VIP dance was done, I really felt like she was done with me. She said she was next up on stage, and she had already spent a good amount of time with me, so that might have been why. I didn't have the time to watch her stage show or get another lap dance, unfortunately. If I come this way again, I will manage my time a little better. I probably should have waited for her to do one dance on the stage so I could get her out of the rotation for a while. Left smelling like stripper body spray, so if you go here during lunch, have a change of shirts.

I don't know the area that well, so perhaps I'm being unfair by comparing this club to out of state clubs. Also keep in mind that I made only one brief visit during a weekday afternoon. But it is my general impression that the facilities here are serviceable, the pole work is at best okay, drinks are too expensive, and the girls, while friendly, lack a bit of that of polish and poise you will find at a higher end place. But there are extras to be had, if you're into that. And if you go as part of a group, maybe that semi-open VIP room would be your kind of fun.
