Visited: Wednesday Evening

Went there on a weekday evening. The Bananen Club upstairs has 25 euro entrance fee, with 2 free drinks included. The Bananen Bar downstairs has 60 euro entrance fee, so I just went to the Club, not the bar. There are about 10 dancers in a small room with 2 rows of sofa, and a bar with 2 male bartenders. There are 3 other guys sitting on the sofas and chatting with the girls. I sat on the bar stool and got a beer. Immediately a girl came up and started to chat with me for a few minute, and asked me to buy her a drink. I asked the price, she said 40 euros for a Champagne, 15 euros for a beer, so I refused. Then she asked me if I wanted a lap dance, and said it was 35 euros, and I could touch her. Again I refused, so she went away. Then a few other girls came up and asked me. One of the girls asked me, and I said "I just want to sit and watch". She replied angrily after I rejected her: "then why are you here? This is a club, not a show". The girls are quite pushy in asking for dances. At that point the other guys are getting up to leave, so I also left, spending a total of about 15 minutes in the club. I did see a few guys getting lap dances, but there is no privacy at all: the dance was performed right then and there on the sofa where the guys were sitting, in well-lit full view of everyone else in the room, so I guess I got free entertainment by watching the lap dances. The dancers are indeed quite good, performing various acts of simulated sex. But the dancer quality is rather disappointing: many are overweight and butt-ugly, to be completely honest. The girls are mostly sitting and chatting, and most of the time no one bothered to dance at the poles. I had a red wine, which tasted like crap and I just couldn't take more than a sip. In general, unless you are full of cash and want to blow 100+ euros, don't come here. You will be hassled endlessly until you decide to get out of there.
