This was my first time here, whether it be in an earlier incarnation or its current remodeled state. I guess it just reopened after the September floods that pretty much devastated anything near the Susquehanna River. It's easy enough to find, as it's just past the West Nanticoke bridge on Route 11 as you head towards Shickshinny. Parking was OK. I found one spot but there might be parking on the other side or even across the street. It was dark and snowing a bit, so I couldn't tell. You walk under a small canopy and the door is on your right. No one was at the door when I entered, which meant it was no cover. I think that is the norm here. Directly in front are a few tables and the men's rooms. The bar and dance are need some description, as I've never seen this setup before. The bar starts close to where you enter. The bar itself is about 10 feet wide and 30 feet long, typical setup, parallel sides with a rounded end.

The main area where the dancers entered was at the other end of the bar, but connected the bar. It was slightly wider than the bar area. There was ample seating around the bar and dance areas and even a few chairs and couches that were set back a bit from the main areas. The thing I found odd was that the primary dance area was connected to the bar area. So, after one song, the dancers would walk down 2-3 steps and be in the bar area. The dance floor extended the length of the bar and even had a pole in it. So as a bartender I sense it could get kind of awkward, or at the very least, the opportunity for taking a digger there is increased. The dancers stay about 1 song in each area depending on their mood, patrons in each area and if they know someone.

I wasn't too impressed with the dancer quality. Maybe it was a bad night, maybe I've been jaded by what can be seen at The Grandview, but I expected more based on what I've read here and elsewhere. The dancers didn't get fully nude on stage but rather pulled their panties down or to the side for a quick peek. Most nude clubs in the area are BYOB and that's how they get away with the full nude aspect, but since you can purchase beer here, they may need to be more careful. Beer prices were OK. I had an Ultra at $3 per bottle.
