$20 cover, and then drink cost on top of that. Not outrageous, but for the size of the club, and the cool reception received, was not a good start. Had to wait at the door while the dj/doorman.manager got change for a $50 bill for my cover-really? Sat down, had to wait three songs before another guy came over to get my drink order, apparently no waitress available.

Watched a rotation of 4 dancers, all of whom were relatively attractive, but disappointing for California standards. All four did two songs apiece, then went over and sat by themselves (yes, in four different spots) and immediately got on their phones, undoubtedly texting how horrible a night they were having at work. A very attractive, college girl looking dancer came out, and immediately got my attention with a few tips at the stage. No extra special attention from her to me, other than taking the tips. Not a thank you, not a smile, barely slowed down on her way past.

The stage emptied, and I looked at an empty dark place for three songs. I had had about enough, and then the DJ announced a two for one dance special, which caused an immediate pissed off look from the five dancers as they paraded across the stage. Since there were a total of 6 customers in the club, I was wondering who was going to get left out. On guy got up and walked out, leaving each of us to pair up with one girl...and I got the college girl. Two songs, $50. Not a bad way to spend 8 minutes, but certainly no touching, she didn't even get within 12 or 18 inches of me. More entertaining was that a couple booths down, apparently the customer tried to grab the breast of a dancer, and she started yelling and screaming, causing the two guys working to rush in, turn up the lights, and throw him out. No apologies for cutting the dance short, just walked away.
