Once again, it only takes one dancer to make it a good evening
So, after a sub-optimal afternoon visit to Sinsations (see review) I took a break and then decided to hit up this place (also based on PAWG patrol recommended to me for my Jacksonville visit). By the time I got there, it was about 8:30. The parking lot had about 6 cars in it (free parking) and I paid a $10 cover charge. The guy who took the cover charge asked if I had ever been here before and when I said "no", he said "it's $5 to get the girls naked on stage but there is absolutely no touching --and you have to buy at least one drink." Okay, forewarned, I guess.
Anyway, I get into the club proper and there is a well-lit square-ish stage in the center of a fairly large room --- with no one on it. There are female restrooms to the back on the right, males are on the back to the left and also on the left side of the room is the "bar" where all sort of non-alcoholic drinks are available. On the front side of the club, behind some two-person benches, is the lap dance area where there are cubbies with cushions, no privacy doors but dividers that go up over one's head -- all cubbies face outward to the main club and there is plexiglass on the hall walk way going back, so essentially anyone in the the main room can/could see your dances in the cubbies. It is a strange set up -- I think that if the club got rid of the plexiglass and just put solid wood up on the hallway, the privacy would be a lot better (but no one asked me).
I got a water for $4 plus 1 for tip to a large, but friendly man who gave me the water. The bathroom was large, no troll, and quite clean for a strip club. There were a total of three girls that I saw working: a not very attractive but helpful 30-ish blonde woman who directed me to the proper gender bathroom, another semi-attractive bespectacled dark haired late 20's girl-who was sitting with a customer on one of the benches the entire time I was there, and a very attractive dark skinned Hispanic 20's girl spinner with long flowing curly black hair, soft B-Cs that were natural, and a very nice butt, who was waiting for a customer to get his money out of the ATM to pay her. Nothing else was going on -- there wasn't even anyone I could give $5 to on the stage to get naked so I could NOT touch her! LOL!.
So, I sat at the bar with the large friendly man and we commiserated on how the NFL is so unpredictable this year as the Falcons were beating the Bills(!) I was sort of waiting for the Hispanic spinner to come by -- and she finally did. She said her name was Sophia and that she was from Cuba. She said that she usually works the 12:00 Noon to 6:00 pm shift and that she NEVER works at night but that the large friendly man (I guess he's the boss/manager) had asked her to come in tonight because he didn't have enough girls. We went and sat on the benches outside of the lap dance area and chatted. She had danced at the Doll House for about a year. We discussed her lap dances and type of dances that I like and came to an agreed price point that we both thought was fair. Unlike the experience at Sinsations where I felt totally hustled, Sophia was coy, but totally honest in her negotiations and we enjoyed a mutually satisfying experience.
By the way, I disagree with those reviewers who feel that this place physically is a "dump". I will submit that it's not as nice as Sinsations but it is a far cry from the skezzy pits in NJ or Akron, OH or Bridgeport CT. So if this is "low end", you mongers in Jacksonville have it pretty good.
In summary, I would totally recommend going in the daytime to see Sophia but were she not there this particular evening, I would have been totally bored out of my skull and could have watched the NFL at my hotel room just as easily. I guess the Doll House is just like the NFL -- totally unpredicable.
