we visited the furnace 6-3-05 around 7pm.

$10.00 per person to get in. $7.50 for call brands. $5.50 for bar brands. both drinks were on weak side. did not get a beer so do not know the price. no draft beer seen. club is definitely the nicest we have been in. kinda suprising when you see where it is located. lots of employees. most real nice and professional. you sensed this club was new as the dj kept screwing up. they had to call for the girls to come on stage. several had to be filled in for as they were i guess in vip. at times music was playing and no one dancing. normally not a problem but only one main stage . there were two more smaller stages downstairs but not in use. one girl was trying to dance to ac/dc thunderstruck. you could tell she had never heard this song before. she just walked around on stage and tried to dance to the song. it was pretty comical.

the food items were toward the pricey side. we did not eat. the upstairs dining room overlooks the stage which is eye level from the main floor. furnishings, decor, sound and lighting system was very good. as for the girls, they ranged from a 3 to a few sevens. we only tipped kennedy, she seemed to be the prettiest but not the friendliest. she thanked her regulars but not us. she sat with her regulars as did most of the girls the 3 hrs that we were there. no asian women this night. about even mix of black and white ladies. the customers in the club were about 50/50 black and white. i read an article done locally with the manager some months ago. he protrayed this club as one that wanted to cater to couples. we were the only couple there. they ( the girls ) did not make us feel like we were at a couples club. we left and went to sammys for a few hours. look for our review later on sammys.

this club will not make it if they do not pick up some steam. judging by the staff and their dress code combined with this 3 plus million dollar club, they will have to turn some dollars. we did not visit vip. no table dances but private dances in one corner was observed. the ladie was on a mat. i guess this is where you have to go for a private dance. the menu listed the private dance as $10.00, $100.00 an hour for vip plus $25.00 tip and i am sure this does not include the ladies cost. we would definitely have to see prettier and more friendly ladies before we would ever consider the vip room. if you want to drop some big dollars for so so quality of ladies in a plush atmosphere with weak drinks, this is your place. we prefer clubs with more energy and smiling ladies that are naturally nice and that seem to enjoy not only what they do but have a real concern for their customers pleasure. as we were leaving, we saw the door guy turn away a couple of bikers as their dress code was more like a gang. the big gold chains, fubu shirts with no collars, you know the type. they asked us how we liked the club so we told them.
