This is my favorite strip club...

This is my favorite strip club in Minneapolis. It's friendly, low-pressure and cheap. There's no cover, so there's no remorse when you go in and find that there's no one you're immediately gaga over. The dancers range from 5 to 9.5; white, black and asian; natural and augmented; slim to chunky. They've been hassled lately by the city for being too forthcoming with contact, so they've backed way off and installed cameras. That's unfortunate, but that's not my principal reason to go, so it's okay. Mostly, I just like the women that dance there. There are regulars (Cherish and Gina are my favorites), along with a succession of short-timers. Each 3 hour shift, there are four women that rotate on stage, then hang out at the bar or sit with you and chat if they're not dancing. They'll offer lap dances, but aren't pushy about it.

The venue is half bar in the front, with a stage in back. Drinks are reasonable - $5 or so. There's a clear delineation when you go from bar to stage area, the most notable change being signs forbidding cell phone use in the stage area. The front is more a sports-bar feeling, with 8 or so TVs scattered around. Definite blue collar crowd, mixed race (which pretty much reflects the neighborhood). The women choose their own music from a jukebox, so there's no irritating DJ, though the tradeoff is that sometimes there are songs that get repeated too often.
