The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Well, despite the name change, Kittens (Lions Den) is still the ugly red headed step sister to that other Club in Salisbury. They no longer have soft porn displayed on tv screens facing opposite the stage. They do have a game room with poker machines, arcade games and flourescent glow in the dark pool tables. All this, plus a cozy little sports sports still can't distract you from the fact that the talent on stage is very, very ordinary: mostly fours and fives, and maybe the occasional eight, but they tend to disappear to greener pastures rather quickly. I've noticed that many of weekend girls here are day time girls up in Portland's Platinum club, so they might tell you something.

The stage is a rather odd shaped square with an adjacent aisle jutting off, an arial view would look like a frying pan. Still, now that the club has a liquor license, which the old Lion's Den DID NOT, it provides a neighborhood bar type of alternative for the hustle and bustle of Tens down the street. Kittens isn't unpleasant, just not notable. The talent needs to spend a little more time meeting and greeting the clientele and less time grousing with the DJ's and bouncers.
