I could have swore I reviewed this club before but I don't see my other review. Anyways, my buddy and I decided to go here after hanging out downtown. We probably arrived sometime between 3am and 3:30am. Which is no big deal because this club stays open until 6am and it usually doesn't get really busy until all the other clubs have let out. So it costs $20 to park your car in the lot. Which you might to avoid by parking on the street, however this club is located in the middle of highland park. Not the safest area in the world to be walking around at 3am. Secondly, if you park on the street the club is located or anywhere near by will be get a ticket which in turn you'll probably have to pay at least $20. Yes I thought about parking on the street however when I drove up and down the street the club is located on I saw cars with tickets on them and the highland park police ticketing other cars. So I just paid the $20. Also, it cost $20 to get into the club. With parking and admission your already out $40 bucks but I guess the club is trying to recoup some of the money it loses not being able to sell drinks. On the night they had some rapper out doing a show and they were featuring 5 dancers they also were taping a video during the rapper's performance. The 5 dancers who were featured are thick borderline fat. They all had big booty's which I don't mind but it wasn't until I was getting ready to leave before I realize that their were more dancers in the building. One cool thing is they have this "Fireman's Pool" where the dancers slide down from upstairs. Apparently, their is this ultra exclusive upstairs part which cost another $20 to get in the elevator to go upstairs. I was a little skeptical about that so I decided to past. I would characterize the atmosphere of the club as "Hood" or "Ghetto." There were several occasions when men(more than on dude) in the crowd jumped on stage with the stippers. I found it actually comical. In one instance a stripper motioned for security and they reluctantly, slowly, and caucatiously got the gentlemen of the stage. Although the atmosphere was rowdy and mostly young African Americans I did notice a group a young white men who did not seem to fix in with the crowd, however they didn't have any trouble from anyone and they seem to fix in well. Money is green and that's all the matters in this business. All and all I would say the value and quality have went down since my last visit. Although there may have been other strippers that I just didn't get a chance to see because they were upstairs. I'll visit this place again but I'm in no hurry.
