Yup, like all others have said, this comes across as your Friendly Neighborhood Titty Bar (no pretenses of being a "gentlemen's club") but it seems a well run one. Just divey enough without putting you in fear of your life, and the crowd and staff were friendly. Located at the end of a smallish shopping strip, so you share parking facilities with other businesses.

On an off-peak evening the numbers of both customers and dancers were small, and the latter were divided into not ready for prime time and well past it, but they did show enthusiasm. About half/half black/white crowd and dancer group that evening. As mentioned the main room is mainly occupied by the bar on one side and a small stage on the other, with minimal tables. The size is small enough that interaction and conversation with the stage dancer is easy and she can walk right off and join you. To the side are the LD booths which as mentioned are curiously a sort of duplex arrangement: behind a curtain each is further divided by a partition into two side-by-side small carrels so if two customers were in, the dancers would likely be able to see and communicate with each other while the customers can't see one another -- and if you were arriving at a booth already half-occupied you'd be able to fully see whatever were happening; conversely, on a slow night the booth becomes a sort of mini-private room, no evident look-and-check by management seemed to be going on.

Confirming previous reports, the dancers are very likely to get right to the point when approaching and they all would reach to grab my "attention" directly right there by the bar. Best LD deal is the periodic 2-for-1 which means $25 for two not too badly clipped songs' worth of very high contact, with a good chance of unsolicited unzipping and various additional offers in no uncertain terms early in the first track. On that account I give it a good value score even if it's otherwise a modest venue. This is not a "destination" club you'd drive hours for, but one can imagine how it would have loyal regulars.
