I hadn't been to Tootsies in...

I hadn't been to Tootsies in quite some time, after my two visits around October/November were marred with what I felt were egregiously cut short songs. I'm happy to say that didn't seem to be an issue this time. The did increase the cover charge a few bucks, its now 8 during the week and 12 on weekends (Sunday is a weekday and Friday is an end.) No charge to park, but valet is available for like $5. Drink prices seemed the same, half price before 8 of $4 for cocktails is nice. Domestic beers a buck cheaper at like $3. The music isn't too loud, and the lighting isn't too dark - most of the other clubs around hear could really learn from them on this. The DJ also isn't blabbing on endlessly and pointlessly, he just announces the dancers when they are up next, up now, and done.

Even though it was a Wednesday there were plenty of customers and dancers. There was at least 30-40 or girls and 50-75 customers. They were only using 1 pole at this time, and only on the main stage. The dancers do one song on the stage and are nude by the end of it. After that, they make their rounds around a little walkway between the stage and pervert row to collect tips. Another thing other clubs could learn from is every single girl gets naked here, and none of them are modest. Obviously some are more interactive and on display than others, but there is clearly a minimum standard and they don't seem to put up with it not being met. Action for tips is pretty good. As others have mentioned, the dancers finish their stage set with a song on the stage upstairs. This makes the upstairs seating much more valuable as its tough to get a hot dancer after she comes of stage unless you are up there. Dances are $25 topless, and are done in a semi private area. $10 table dances are also available, but not all dancers do them and few customers partake. Mileage is above average for the area, but so is variability. Expect to put your hands anywhere that isn't covered, but don't be shocked if they allow a little roaming in there too. A lot of girls will push for rooms, which start $100 to the house and 150-300 for the girl for $30 minutes. I strongly suggest getting a few dances first to try and get a feel for any ROB tendancies, its not uncommon for these girls to not deliver in the rooms. A lot of them do, but be on the look out.

Unfortunately, I was very unimpressed with dancer quality this visit. Out of the at least 30 girls, there was seriously only 2 I found even moderately interesting. Fake tits, fake asses, piss poor Brazilian but jobs, and a lot of "thick" girls. I'm inclined to let it slide, since they generally have a good variety and the problem is figuring out where to start first.
