I decided to give The Barrel...

I decided to give The Barrel another chance--actually two chances. I stopped by on a recent Sunday afternoon, then, about two weeks later, early Tuesday evening. Neither is prime time for a strip club, but that's when I had some time.

The Barrel of Dolls is a low-key, comfortable, neighborhood bar. And if my two recent visits were any indication, the quality of the dancers has very much improved. On my Sunday stop, there was one dancer who was called to work after some others canceled that afternoon, leaving one dancer for the entire shift. But she was great looking and gave an excellent stage performance.

On my Tuesday visit, there were four dancers--all sexy and attractive. Tipping at The Barrel is a mixed bag, with some dancers being more fun than others. An Hispanic dancer that Tuesday--who was especially sexy with outrageous curves--got up-close-and-personal when tipping. She proved to be very popular.
