Stopped by here on a recent Saturday night with a buddy of mine. We go here sometimes because it's close to his house, and it's the only SC of note in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago (unless you want to drive out to Elgin, which you don't).

The club is no-frills in terms of decor and layout -- basically, it's just a big room, a little dingy, with a $10 cover and cheap beer. It's nice that the three stages are laid out in such a way that you'll be close to at least one of them no matter where you sit. However, the stage dances are bikini only -- they don't even get topless. This rule is never broken. Based on other clubs I've been in in Illinois, this certainly isn't a legal requirement, unless it's a local one. It would be nice if the girls would at least wear something over the bikinis to take off -- a short, sexy dress or something -- so that at least we can watch them pretend to strip, but these girls aren't that smart.

You can get the girls topless in the private dance area, which are two songs for $25 or five for $50. There's a little grindage in these dances, but not much, and the only reason I marked the monetary value as high as I did in this review (6 out of 10) is because of the length of the dances for the money. There are more private dances, for half an hour and such, upstairs, but I tried them once a few years ago and confirmed my suspicion that they're just as tame, only more expensive.
