If you like thick black women,...

If you like thick black women, this is your place. If you like thick black ho's, this is really your place. The cab driver told me Hour Glass was one of the raunchier clubs in Lousiville - and he was right. But the neighborhood is not that sketchy and felt pretty safe. Got there about quarter to 10 pm and was told they don't open until 10. Let me in out of the rain anyway. Dancers didn't start going on stage until about 11.

After paying a $6 cover charge I was patted down (why do bouncers do that and not dancers?) Club is very small. Pool table right when you enter and a small bar behind that. Other side of the wall with the bar are two small fairly private lap dance areas that might hold 2 people each and the main club area. Stage is very small with about 6 square tables and chairs in front and half a dozen bar stools on the side. According to the girls, club has not set rotation and no set lap dance prices. Girls get up when they feel like it and dance a couple of dances mostly topless but showing lots of pink. Girls also set their own lap dance prices. I was quoted anywhere from $10 to $30 per dance and prices were quite negotiable. Dancer drinks are multiples of $14; most girls don't push them hard but will reward you amply if you buy one. ("Buy me a drink and I'll let you play with my pu**y.") About 8 girls were working on a Friday night, but only half that many customers most of the night. I was almost alone until midnight.

Club gets an 8 rating not because girls are the most beautiful or setting is clean and upscale, but because mileage is off the hook. Pretty much anything goes at the stage, in the seating area, or in the lap dance room. There's also a VIP room, but no one mentioned that or said what went on there. Lap dances are two-way full contact with lots of mutual manual and oral contact with intimate parts, going all the way to dining at the Y in one case. Extras (including outcall service) are readily available; I was offered bbbj for 50 and rear entry fs for 50 more, not something I chose to partake in with a stranger.
