Visited: Tuesday Evening

The Lumberyard is a pretty large club. There are about three or four stages with many seats all around. You can choose where you want to sit, there are seats in front of the stage (you must tip the dancers here) or you can sit at the seats that are away from the stage. There is a stage on the main floor, upper level, and lower level. The seating had tables which were convenient to place your beer on. Private dances were done in a private section with booths. There was also a back door that led to a little outdoor smoking area for smokers. I went with some friends on Tuesdays which is 2 for 1 on private dances. The cover charge was $25. We sat in front of one of the stages, so we had to tip at least dollar for every dancer to get them to dance on you. They will let you touch if you tip a bit more than a dollar. Most of the dancers were very hot which surprised me a little, I didn't think there would many hot dancers working on a Tuesday night. It was also a bit crowded on a Tuesday night too, there were more customers here than I expected. The music that was played was mainly rock/metal, but there was some rap/hip-hop and even some country music.

The dancers were very outgoing and friendly, but a few of them were rude only to customers who sat at the stage and didn't tip. Most of the dancers were Caucasian and a few were Hispanic or black. There were many body types to satisfy different preferences. Some dancers were very petite and slim, some dancers were a bit more curvy. The dancers were fully nude when they were dancing on the stage. If you were sitting at the seats that were away from the stages, dancers would walk around the club and offer private dances or VIP.

I bought a private dance which was about 25 dollars and it lasted for two songs because of the Tuesday 2 for 1 deal. It was definitely worth it. It was done in a little private booth that was located downstairs from the main floor. Private dances are almost full contact, you can touch the dancer anywhere except her vagina. The private dances I got were very hot and enjoyable. The dancer I was with was almost fully nude, she was still wearing a thong. The dancer I was with wanted to take me to the VIP afterwards which would cost $200 for half an hour and $300 for an hour, but I didn't do it because it was a bit expensive. The next time I come here, I would probably bring some more money to try out the VIP.

Furthermore, BYOB makes this club even more awesome. You can just sit around with your friends, drink, watch the dancers, and have a good time without having to spend a lot of money buying drinks at a bar. Overall, the Lumberyard is an awesome place to have a great time. It is pretty affordable and you definitely get your moneys worth. I would definitely recommend going here and I plan on visiting the Lumberyard again in the future.
