The Speak Easy is similar to the French Maid, but it’s south of town and was pretty dead on the Thursday evening at about 9 PM when I visited it, and the dancers were as unmotivated as could be, performing the half-stripteases I mentioned in my review of the French Maid. This was during the Stampede, so I thought it’d be busy, but maybe everyone was at the Stampede… The waitress said that there were only four dancers present that evening (and she implied that this was fairly typical). And despite the few patrons present, it somehow managed to also be the smokiest place I’ve ever been—absolutely suffocating.
