This used to be one of...

This used to be one of my favorite places before 2006 when I lived a little closer. It's now about a 40 minute drive for me, so it's a little far to be a regular stop now. In fact, before my 2 most recent visits in December and January, I don't think I've been here for close to 5 years. My observations are based on these 2 visits about an hour and a half each, on Friday evenings.

This place does seem have a few things going for it compared to a lot of the clubs closer to Pittsburgh. First, while a heavily tattooed dancer wouldn't be out of place here, on average the dancers seem to have many fewer tattoos. Second, $20 dances without pressure for tips. Third, none of the dancers complained to me about their drama, be it inside or outside the club. Fourth, a lot of seating, and decent variety of it. There are a lot of stage seats. There are a lot of stools at the bar. There are a few small tables scattered around. Also, there are a few restaurant style booths behind the bar where the music isn't excessively loud. Speaking of the music, it seemed to be a decent mix of several genres, rock/rap/pop/country etc. I'm more into Classic and 90's Rock, however the rap & pop seemed dated, but I'm no expert. The music seemed to be picked by the DJ (maybe even a management playlist), so there seemed to be less of the monotonous, unintelligible rap that dancers pick at other clubs.

I did $20 couch dances with 3 or 4 of the dancers. The couch dances take place in a room with about 8 love seats along the walls facing the center of the room. Everything going on is visible to everyone else in the room. There are signs up saying touching the dancer is not permitted. I kept my hands beside my legs, and occasionally grabbed a handful of anything passing by like ass or boob without any complaints. I didn't push my luck too much though. Contrast this to club closer to town where grabbing is often encouraged because the girls are trying to get tips. Also, none of the dancers decided to use their hands, either over the pants or otherwise. I didn't do any private rooms, so I can't speak to a menu of activities available there, but in my conversations with a few of the dancers, none of them hinted anything extra. At the pay booth for the dances I noticed a couple of monitors, so I believe all of the rooms have cameras.
