If you want a description of the updates to the physical club, you can see other reviews. I will say that, compared to my last visit to DC in 2012, the club is much nicer inside.

The pros: The dances are much better on the updated stages. The girls are mostly European, with some ethnic diversity, but a far cry from the all Asian Review of 2012 and earlier. The dancers are mostly attractive and sweet (see below for the exception), and they make you glad its a nude club when they are on stage. Another plus is the seating. Used to be that you could really find it hard to see one of the stages, but now it's impossible not to have a good seat. I also thought the lighting and use of lasers was pretty well done. Just dark enough to feel intimate, but bright enough to see the girl you're talking to. Finally, the rest rooms are clean. Seriously, I know this is a little thing, but finding a bathroom in a small strip club that is fairly updated and clean is close to finding the pot of gold (yeah, that's a pun).

The cons: The bouncer/door guy is way to into a couple of the dancers. One of the more uncomfortable feelings in a club this small is that you've pissed of the bouncer by paying attention to the dancer. I know, I know, the industry is about sex and the bouncer often crosses the line, but they don't all act like the one I ran into the night I was at this club. Seriously, if you want to date her, then let her move in so she doesn't have to strip. Another con is the drink prices--a bit higher than last year, and certainly at or above the other clubs in DC. If this were a swank hot place, that would make sense--but it's not. It's a neighborhood strip club with steel-frame black chairs and tons of little tables. So maybe go a little easy on those drink prices. Finally, some of the girls--one in particular is just plain angry. I don't mean like edgy or bitchy, I mean like she's big enough and angry enough that--with a few Grey Goose shots--she could knock you around.
