The Top Hat isn't an easy club to find unless you are paying close attention when driving by. I passed the place, turned around and still didn't notice it where my phone was showing it on maps. I ended up calling the place and the woman who answered mentioned they were open and they were located right where maps was showing them. So I drove by again and noticed a small sign with no lights that read "Top Hat". From the outside, the place looked like the size of a small, single level house. I was a little skeptical about going in, especially when I parked in the back of a small parking lot with only one other car. I worked up the courage to go in since I was only in town on business and it was my last night there. It was a Wednesday night, around 9:30pm. I figured I wouldn't stay long if I didn't like what I saw.

When I walked in, there was a bouncer immediately to my right who asked to check my ID. There was a sign for a $5 cover charge, however the bouncer didn't ask me for it. I'm guessing it was because the place was pretty empty. There was a pretty good sized, U-shaped bar. I was surprised to see a decent number of guys there, about 10, especially since the parking lot was empty. The stage was on the other side of the bar and there was a dancer performing at the time. I decided to grab a beer and a shot to get myself in the mood to potentially get a dance later. The beer was $3.50 and the shot was $4, very decent prices. I sat at the bar to watch the first girl finish her dance. The place looked a little run down, but there was a lot of artwork around the place and a few TVs playing late-night shows. There are about 5 small tables up front by the stage. The music was pretty good, a combo of EDM and current pop/rock hits. There is a juke box which I noticed many people selecting songs from.

The first girl dancing was decent looking, about a 7. She was probably in her early 20's, short but fit, Hispanic. After she got off stage, she approached a bunch of the guys at the bar asking for a tip. She was still topless, and never got fully nude during the dance except for a few flashes of her pussy. When she approached me, I mentioned that I didn't have any small bills but may get a dance from her later. She mentioned that dances were $20 per song. I asked her how many girls were working there that night. She said there were 5 girls, but 3 girls left and the place actually called her in and she was really sleepy. I was pretty discouraged by that. That was at least enough for me to not get a dance from her since she probably won't be enthusiastic about it. At that point, the next girl walked on stage. She was a black girl with ok looks, slight belly but not fat, and decently tall, about 5'10". She was way more enthusiastic about her dancing than the first girl. To my surprise, this girl took her top and bottom off pretty quickly and put everything on display. She showed every part of her ass and pussy to a couple on guy who was up close tossing bills onto the stage. The girl was practically giving the guy a lap dance from the stage. The guy as caressing her legs and slapping her butt every once in a while. I turned away for a few moments and then noticed the bouncer running toward the stage to slap the guys hand. I'm guessing he got a little to touchy-feely. At that point, I was definitely interested in a lap dance with this girl. However, when she got off stage, the guy who was tipping her was all over her, and they both went back to the bar and kept talking. I figured I would wait a while to see if she frees up.
