This is an update to my prior review on Erotica; if you are interested to see some of my prior experiences/information feel free to check it out.

I've been to the club several more times since my last review, and the first thing I should say is the quality of girls has improved quite a bit since early 2013. More girls here that are consistently good looking and less hustle than other strip clubs in the area. The first thing I should really say is that, for mileage purposes, Erotica isn't the best. The dances can be very good contact with the right girl, but no touching in the lap dance area is pretty strictly enforced. Rooms, which start at $125/15 minutes with free alcohol do allow touching and the mileage can range from good to great. I haven't done a room here in a long time, so I wouldn't know if anything changed a ton, but by the looks it seems about the same. There are cameras in the room, but they are very roomy and large. They also bring you whatever drink you want pretty much, so that is kind of nice. The mileage in the rooms at Cheerleaders can be better, but again, this isn't the place to generally come looking for high mileage (although, to be honest, I've seen some pretty crazy things happen in the room). For better mileage (particularly during lap dances), Cheerleaders would be the best in Pittsburgh by far. I don't actually come to Erotica looking for super high mileage. It's a very chill place that doesn't get as packed as Cheerleaders does and there isn't as much of a hustle. Although Cheerleaders offers a lot in traditional strip club sense (girls will sit with you, you can buy drinks and cocktails, mileage is consistently good), it can get very, very packed. CL (Cheerleaders) is a big club, but when they have headliners (such as pornstars, which they have semi-frequently) it can get super, super crowded. Best bet for CL is going early (before 11PM on a weekend) or on a weekday. But, sometimes that's not an option, and Erotica fits well. If you like to drink a good amount, which I do not do as nearly as much anymore, Erotica is the place to be in terms of value for your money. Free alcohol and rail liquor/mixed drinks makes it a very relaxed atmosphere. You can't really talk with the girls besides the few seconds on stage when they come around, but sitting at the stage isn't required so you can actually have a good time here for a pretty low budget. And getting a dance here is easy - sometimes in CL when it's so packed you're going to have trouble even finding a seat at the bar let alone finding a girl to sit with you. You can go up to a girl at CL on those days but sometimes it's hard to walk! At Erotica, one good thing is you can, if wanted, find a girl on stage and either a) tip them like $2 and ask them to come see you when they're done or b) go upstairs and ask the bouncer at the dance area and request a dance with whomever. They'll call the girl and most of the times she'll be up in a few minutes, provided she's not on stage or in a room (the bouncers will check and let you know). That makes it easy if you're looking for a quick way to get a "guaranteed" dance. I still LOVE both clubs, but sometimes it can be difficult getting a girl at CL if you go during the wrong times/circumstances (after midnight on a weekend when they have a popular headliner, for example).

A quick comparison between the two and some basic info for the people who just want the basics:
