Ok, if there are no dancers, how can it be a strip club? Went by on at 3, there were no dancers. I got a beer and talked to the bartender for a little while. She says they are "independent contractors" and they come in when they want to. Owners are going to open a bar in Melbourne. Perhaps they will have dancers there. I might have to write off this place as an after-6 club ...
