I'll start by saying that this review is based on my one and only visit to the club so please be aware of that. First off, I'm not a fan of mandatory valet parking when it appears the only rationale is get your $ before you even get to the door and that's the situation here so I was probably jaded from the start. Nonetheless, stopped by after work and turned out I was there right at opening even though the website had said they opened an hour earlier. I immediately got a pretty hard sale from a fairly average dancer and, after making her wait a few songs while I finished my beer, I finally relented for a "private dance" since she claimed she hated the regular lap dances because there wasn't enough privacy. She claimed it was $30 instead of the $25 I'd seen online but I went along as she promised it'd be worth it - we've all heard that line, right? Well, this is one of those cases where it did not deliver - I've had much more contact on the floor in other clubs than I got in the "private" room here. The room itself is the side of the main room separated only by some frosted glass panes that have gaps in-between - very little privacy at all. Couple all of this with the pushy personality, the fact that this girl danced like she was doing me a favor, and the fact it was a complete air dance for $30 and I'd say I was not impressed - not to mention she let me know that tips were appreciated at the end of her $30 no contact dance. Maybe I should have given another dancer the chance to convince me this place was ok but I was so underwhelmed that I gave up after watching a couple more mediocre dancers on stage.

All of that being said, the bartender was friendly enough as was the bouncer and the place was fairly clean. I can imagine that at a more crowded time with the right dancers, it could be a pretty decent place. Of course, I don't think there's any fixing the "private room" so that's a definitely downside. Bottom line is I'd say this place is ok but nothing special and there are certainly better clubs in Raleigh.
