I'm from out of town but...

I'm from out of town but frequent Chicago for work. Decided to do a quick tour of the Mannheim Road bikini bars so I hit all 4 (Bobby's, Carl's, Playpen and Louie's in that order). Louie's is both the smallest and least upscale (Playpen a close second), but I found it to be the most accomdating and by far the best value. All 3 of the others offer lap dances for $20/song while Louie's is still $10. I also found the girls much more willing to circulate and seek out new people as opposed to the other 3 the girls tended to stick with their regulars and didn't give much time to new faces. For me the experience is more about meeting the girls striking up conversation and enjoying a nice view and a little grind. I felt like I had to work a lot harder to have a good time at the other places than I did at Louie's. If you are strictly going to see 8's and above and if you have a thick wallet you may prefer other places but if you are just looking for a little attention and not trying to break the bank I would definitely give Louie's a try.
