Went into SRI @10am on a Tuesday evening. The club ambience rates an easy '8'. Lots of seating, comfortable tables and booths and the stage is easily seen from anywhere in the room. The (non-alcoholic) bar has a few chairs also. The lighting in the general lap dance areas is pretty good, dark but not to the point where you can't see your dancer . The lighting in the VIP booths are adjustable from real bright to total darkness. Nice...

The girls rate from 6-9 with most in the low to middle of that range. Lots of implants. They don't chat you up when they approach but rather ask right away for a dance. They're real professional about smiling and walking away if you decline. The DJ is another matter. Apparently he makes his money - maybe half the tip money given to a stage dancer - off dance tips and he was persistent in a profane but usually humorous manner about the guys, sitting at the tip rail, having to throw down some cash. A lot of the girls talked about how much they have to tip out to the house, bartenders, waitresses, DJ, bouncers, etc. If they're to be believed, they probably keep about 40-50% of the money they receive. However, the shop talk got old and I started to avoid the girls who brought it up. As mentioned earlier, this is a high-contact, high-milage club. Plenty of grindage even for the topless dances. There seems to be a pre-determined amount of package-stroking per dance, more so in the VIP section, as if it's part of a dancer's overall routine. Two-way is allowed but the girls didn't want any kitty-touching nor boob sucking. No dancer offered any extras. This was probably because it was pretty busy and the girls could just go out and grab another PL for dances w/o having to do nastier stuff. Also, I didn't ask Dancer attitude would rate 5/6 at best. The girls are friendly but not as much as other clubs I've been to and I can tell that having guys pawing at them wears on most of the girls. A couple talked about either quitting soon or working in clubs where two-way contact isn't allowed. I was sympathetic but, at the same time, felt bummed out about touching them afterwards which, let's face it, is the reason I was there and not at a non-COI club.

BIG WARNING! Beware in the VIP area when a dancer asks if you want another dance. This doesn't mean one more $40 dance. It means another 3-dance set and another $120. I wanted to stop after a fourth dance and was told that it was still going to be $120. I verified that with a regular and a bartender.
