Yet another old favourite. Since...

Yet another old favourite. Since I was last here, it has been refurbished similarly to Browns. It's a lot smarter and less seedy. It's probably more couple and female customer friendly than before though I didn't see any on this visit.

As for Browns, this bring some pros and cons but in this case, we might be luck and no cons. The stage is still small with just one pole. You can stand very close and should get an excellent view from there. However, it was not very busy when I was there and no one stood close to the stage. I guess that as before, you need the right number of customers for the best time. Enough to give you an excuse to stand close but not so many that you can't. If I am lucky, I'll get a chance to go back in the evening and find out.

It shares a problem, probably unrelated to the redecoration, with Browns: the girls don't seem be as nice as before and the shows not so naughty. I saw five girls in this visit. All were good enough to look at but none were perfect (as most were before) and just one was close. The views were not great either, a few glimpses of the most interesting bits but no very good views as before. Unlike Browns, I have not been in the afternoon often before so maybe the afternoons were always like that. I need to visit in the evening. If I am lucky, it will be as good as it was which is about as good as you can hope to get in the UK if no rules are being broken.
