Visited on a Monday at 8...

Visited on a Monday at 8 pm to unwind after a stressful day at work, I was expecting a slow night. This was my first visit to Admiral's, and first impressions were good and kept up throughout the too-short evening (I had a little more work to do afterwards). Valet was polite and told me where to go next, girl at the front was equally pleasant and helpful. A bouncer named Jeff was friendly and gave a great, short explanation of the layout of the club, and helpfully offered to find a girl matching my preferences. One of the dancers told me that usually there are only about 10 on Monday evenings but this Monday there happened to be around 20. Accounting for different tastes, all the dancers I saw that evening were above average, and (a bigger turn-on for me) a lot of fun to talk with before we talked about a dance.

The stage dances were good: a good mix of pole skills and dancing. A personal pet peeve of mine is music so loud you can't talk, and Admiral struck a good balance of volume which I appreciated. This is likely due to the acoustics from their theatre layout. No alcohol, but I have fun whether I'm sober or buzzed, so it wasn't an issue for me, but plan accordingly if you prefer to have a few drinks (there is a bar next door). Had three separate three-song LDs in the VIP booth with three girls, and all were hot and fun. All the girls I had dances with were enthusiastic, had a good sense of humor, lots of full contact (mostly one-way with some two-way) and Stevies, and two were especially passionate with some LFK.

Due to Chicago's ordinances, this club will never be ranked with top clubs in Vegas/Ft. Lauderdale/etc., but it has the potential to grow into that level of club if it was allowed to. I ranked the club in the context of other clubs in the area, but if you regularly go to clubs around the nation, knock off a star to get an idea of how it ranks at the national level.
