Nashville to Smithville.
Nashville is renowned for country music, not for strip clubs! So when I found myself there for a few days, I decided to check out Midnight Express in Smithville. I failed to jot down reminder notes, so my review is going entirely by memory...
The address of the club shows “Smithville”, but Midnight Express is kind of off by itself on a two lane road, maybe 4 to 5 miles east of the main part of the town. Especially if driving to or from the club at night, be careful! Two lane country roads like these tend to keep me on extra high alert, especially without any daylight to help matters. Anyway, I can’t remember if the club parking lot was paved, gravel, dirt, or some combination thereof? I was lucky to grab an empty parking spot close to the entrance, so I didn’t have to go hunting for a space...
The men’s restroom was up near the front entrance, and a somewhat long hallway led up to where the security guy was stationed near the bar. Thanks to a friend of mine, I actually had a free pass to use, so I did not pay a cover charge. I was scanned with a handheld metal detector, though, and as much as the security guy seemed to frisk me, I almost felt like he should have bought me dinner first...lol He was friendly enough, but it was a fairly aggressive pat down. No ID check in my case, although I’m obviously middle-aged, so a younger person might be requested to show some ID. I ordered a coke from the cute bartender, which I think was $3, so I gave her a $5 and went to find a seat.
I would later realize that the front hallway also has maybe two or three private dance rooms with curtains, all of which are off to your left as you’re walking toward the main part of the club. These aren’t the only private dance rooms, but it seems a bit unusual to have private dance areas that are potentially accessible to people BEFORE they’ve been vetted by security or paid their cover! Unless security sometimes moves closer to the front entrance, I can’t recall ever seeing another arrangement quite like this one…
As for the main part of the club, it was kind of like one rather large room with a pretty high ceiling. Kind of a warehouse type feel, I guess, but it was fine to me. As I mentioned, the bar area is at the back of the club, closer to the entrance. If you’re looking directly away from the bar, the stage is on the opposite side of the room, with plenty of tables and chairs in between. Off to the right side of the room is a dance area that I think is just for doing individual songs, and I can’t remember now if the left side of the room had something similar? The DJ booth, as well as another private dance area, was behind and to the right of the stage. Smoking is allowed in the club, but I found it tolerable on this night. The lighting seemed to be about right, and I honestly don’t remember anything at all about the music being played. I felt pretty comfortable the entire time that I was in the club...
It was a very respectable lineup of dancers, even if there wasn’t anyone there who really swept me off my feet on this night. I would say there were maybe 11-12 girls working--a few slim, a few average, and a few perhaps a bit thicker? Honestly, I specifically remember only a few of the girls, and with the others I’m struggling to remember faces and body types. There were two very attractive and fit African American ladies, and also two attractive white ladies, one slimmer, and one with a more average build. I think most of the girls had natural breasts, but I do remember at least one set of implants as well. Attitudes seemed quite good, and I was probably approached by 6 to 8 girls in a fairly short amount of time.
Even though I didn’t make any great connections on this night, I was in the mood for a little private dance time, so I took one of the girls back for a bit. Again, I should have made some notes on my phone, but I’m pretty sure it was $100 for 15 minutes or $175 for 30 minutes. I chose the 30 minute option, and I gave my dancer an even $200. She requested that I pay in advance, and while that’s not typical for me, I had no concerns in this case about paying her up front. It was a full nude dance, and what I’d consider to be pretty standard. Breast and butt touching were fine with her, and her grind was decent, if not spectacular. Basically, it was a nice, enjoyable dance with a pretty girl. It wouldn’t win any awards for lap dance of the year, but my modest expectations were easily met. The booths felt at least reasonably private to me, so with a stronger connection, maybe the dance would have been a wee bit hotter???
Anyway, I don’t know if I might ever make it back here myself, but Midnight Express seems like a pretty good club to me. If you’re somewhere in the vicinity and don’t mind going a little off the beaten path, I’d say it’s a solid option. Just be very careful on those country roads, especially after sunset!
