When I am in Columbus, I...

When I am in Columbus, I like to stop here for their Friday lunch special. Several times in the past I have actually enjoyed the food, especially when they had just grilled burgers on a charcoal grill out front of the place. But times have changed, and the new format is a bit different from the way it used to work. Now, first thing, you have to pay to get in - previously it was free entry and free food. The entry fee is only $5.00, gets you tickets for two drinks, and includes the lunch buffet. I almost didn't fork over the fiver, thinking the food isn't that great, and I know what the dance scen is like, but another older customer was standing at the entry window yakking with the girl taking admission and said," what the heck. The food alone is worth the $5.00 plus you get titties with it!" Isn't life grand? So I paid and went in.

Others have described the interior, so I'll just say that it has an up-scale feel about it, bathrooms were clean and the stage is just two steps high and fills the center of the main room. I only got beers with my free drink tickets, so I don't know what kind of drinks you can get, beyond beer. The buffet was not out yet (at 12:30, and the place opens at 11 on Fridays.) I sat at the bar and scoped things out. A decent looking dancer was on stage and maybe 8 - 10 customers scattered around the large interior. Another dancer, Rosie, slipped into the chair next to me and began a friendly conversation no hustle - before excusing herself to get ready to dance. About 15 minutes later the food was put out. It was disappointing to see that it was prime rib and 3 sides, corn, mashed potatoes and overcooked green beans. the meat was ok, but overall, the free buffet has gone down hill.

There was a Featured Dancer, LoveSimone, (add a dot com and you've got her web site) who put on a good, high energy set. She did come out to the room afterwards and personally greeted customers who had given her tips, I being one of them. It was a nice touch, and she slipped a "business" card with her full nude picture and web address on each side into our hands. While there were only 3 or 4 regular dancers there at this time of day, I'd have to say they were all attractive and had decent bodies (yes, at least one had enhanced boobs.) As is the situation now in Ohio, if you serve liquor, there are restrictions on what the dancers can show. So they basically get topless, but also wear those translucent pasties taped to their nipples. To get a dance, customers stand at the stage, and since it is low, the dancers will come up to you and dance in your face for a tip. They do not shy away from light touching, at least when I've been there. As I said, all of the dancers looked pretty good, they give a nice "in your face" dance for a $1.00 tip, they have a talented feature dancer, and they do not try to hustle you. I did not go for a private dance so I can't speak to that. But if you want an OK buffet, a couple of beers and some nice girls wiggling in you face all for about $10, you can't go wrong here.
