DreamGirls at SODO is a large, clean, fairly upscale club with more pole talent and lap dance/room options than most Seattle clubs. Most parking is available in back or in a super-tight garage underneath the club. Cover is $20 (but includes your drinks (non-alcoholic, per WA law). Download a Deja Vu coupon to get in for $10. I've visited a few dozen times, and other than it being a ghost town one afternoon, it's always had a positive, party atmosphere to it. There are two stages, each with really high poles and racks to sit at - unlike many Seattle clubs, patrons really TIP the ladies on stage here. Both sides of the downstairs have curtained-off areas with semi-open booths for $20 lap dances, with the obligatory Déjà vu dance-counter passing by once during each 3-minute song. Upstairs there are curtained-off rooms where you can enjoy views to the main floor and stages, and limited interruptions. A couple small rooms are for 3/$100 dances, which is a nice intro, and larger rooms are available for up to an hour (at $375).

There is definitely a wide variety among the dancers, in ethnicity, stage talent, attitude, and lap dance mileage, although they tend to be very attractive. There has been some house-cleaning lately there, with some girls being let go, although I'm not sure if they were focusing on reducing drugs, drama, or extra-curricular dance activities, but I'm glad to see it. There's a limit to how intimate I want to be inside a club. But don't get me wrong, I do like me some lap dances with good contact both ways.
