Visited: Wednesday After Midnight

Arrived here recently on a Wednesday night after watching an MLB baseball game, I'd say aside from staff there were about 10 of us customers in there at that time. Funny enough about half of the customers at the time weren't focusing on the dancers and were just hanging out at the bar area watching sports, chatting, or shooting pool. After entrance (no cover for Wednesday but there are covers charges over the weekend, usually $5 I think) saw there was a bar up front and to the left was the dancers' stage and seating areas (glass cover throughout with slots for tips) and also a few dancers around the dangers' area. This club is definitely in a working class neighborhood and so were most the clientele but I didn't feel unsafe and bouncers were doing their jobs though people were behaving themselves regardless that night. I sat down and had a seat on the bar area facing the dance floor. A waitress offered a drink though I didn't feel like drinking so politely declined. Club was pretty cleanly maintained and didn't feel messy.

The DJ started playing music (random tunes any genres) and a few dancers came outside the stage to the dancers' area. Dancers weren't necessarily unattractive but not as attractive as some other clubs but still definitely passable. Ethnicity of the six dancers that night was 2 latinas, 1 white, 2 black, 1 mixed (i think white/black). Generally this is a common mix of dancers from the couple times I've been before though there will be two white dancers at times. Didn't see any Asian dancers from times I've been there but things change in this business so who knows.

There are no private rooms in this club but there are some couch-like seats for dances. I remember dances were $10 each usually lasting a song so around 3-4 minutes, maybe 5 if a long song. I got the attention of one of the latina dancers and after some talking got a couple dances. Regarding the dance obviously hands off and she wasn't nude (bikini dance) but I did get grinding and her boobs in my face. She was friendly and it was a good couple dances. Later on while she was dancing on the stage (glass covered) I tipped $5 which I noticed is usually the amount they will get naked for and do an extra dance for you while on stage. She did a fun stage dance and had a good attitude. It was already 1 AM at that time and I was ready to leave but will return.
