Was...

Was in C-town and decided to visit on a Tuesday (5:30-ish). With no plans for the eveing I decided to drop by for a beer and oggle some naked talent.

The Platinum isn't hardly the worst club you've ever seen, however I did notice that they had some lumber stacked up in one corner (classy). The location is a prime one for Columbus. Safety is not an issue, but privacy may be as it sits adjacent to one of the busiest intersections in town with no privacy fence along the front. There's 3 stages, but only the main stage & a satellite stage in the back was being used. Since I was only 1 of 7 customers there at the time, the satellite stage was overkill. As a previous reviewer has stated, the pole on the main stage isn't exactly stationary. It's attached at the top to a system of rafters chained to the ceiling, so it's allowed to move as if a dancer swings on it. I guess OSHA doesn't care about this stuff. It has a bar at the front as well as pool tables.

Now for the real reason to read this...the talent unfortunately has fallen off in recent years (maybe because it was early on a weekday?). There was a cute young blonde there 7 possibly an 8. But the rest of the girls ranged from 6 to "please consider another vocation lady". Some additional gals dropped by later (6-7-ish range), but still not up to the caliber that I remember seeing about a decade ago. The girls wear something over their nipples and the bottoms stay on. On the plus side, dancers and staff were all friendly. I talked to one girl that was cute and had a really cool personality. I bought no dances, but then I didn't have a lot of cash on me either. Usually self control is a problem for me...but given the current state of things at the Platinum, maybe it's mostly a matter of no motivation. Still a good place to relax & drink a couple of beers, but it has been and could be so much more.
