I went to visit a friend...

I went to visit a friend living in Baltimore and he decided to take a group of 7 to his favorite local strip club. First thing I noticed is that he parked on the street near the club to avoid the valet parking, which appeared to be mandatory this time of night (around 8:30pm on a Friday). As an outsider, it didn't appear to be the roughest neighborhood, but my friend still took quite a few precautions while locking his car. Should be noted. We paid the $10 cover and got in. This is probably one of the nicer looking clubs I've been to. Very clean, nice and classy. The stage is in the center of the room, and the dancers come down from high above the stage. I kept waiting for a girl to trip on the long staircase when coming to the pole, but it never happened. They are pros. Speaking of which, I wasn't too impressed with the overall quality of women here. My friend had hyped it up, but out of maybe 30 dancers, I only found a few that I was interested in. There seemed to be alot of silicone. There wasn't a lot of variety in terms of ethnicity. I like to have a spectrum of women to choose from. The beers were $6 so not outrageous. We sat in the main area near the bear, in a group of plush chairs. A number of dancers came up and asked for table dances. This was my first experience with those. I looked around the club and noticed that other patrons were getting them (a girl dances, full nude, in the center of the chair area on a large coffee table. Like I said, none of the girls were wowing me. Also, since I was in large group, there needed to be a consensus for such a dance and we didn't agree on anyone. Table dances probably aren't intimate enough for me. I alternated between the chairs and the stage, which was surprisingly small for such a big club. My only gripe was that we asked to leave are seated area by the floor man, because some guys ordered bottle service. I noticed that they had a special roped area for VIP, so I thought that would included bottle service guests, but apparently you can just take regular area seats from people who haven't ordered, leaving us to stand awkwardly for a while before leaving. I didn't partake in any lap dances. Overall, this is a beautiful looking club, though the women, in my opinion, didn't live up to it on that night. Next time I'm in town, I'd like to check out this "Block" I've heard about.
