I have such mixed feelings about this club. On the one hand, the dancers are generally attractive (7-9s), the club is very nice inside (three stages, good sound, nice bars with hot bartenders) and it is easy to find. On the other hand, it has mandatory valet parking (*cough - rip off), the generally attractive dancers who were on shift when I was there on a Friday afternoon were also *generally* aloof and bored, and in order to tip the dancers, you have to ball your bills up in a little wad and throw them across the bar and onto the stage. I don't know about you fellers, but I like the dancer to know that I was the one who tipped them, graciously and with a smile, rather than anonymously pelting them with little green portraits of our first president.

There was one GORGEOUS brunette dancing the afternoon that I was there - very petite, doe-eyed, seemed to enjoy her job - that I waited for after her stage set. We went into the back for a lap dance (which was very promising, lots of smiles and laughs while we were talking, she led me by the hand back to the private dance area) but once the dance started, she seemed to be on auto-pilot. Meh. After our three songs, I tipped her another $20 and left the club, as there were no other dancers I was interested in seeing. I then had to wait for my car for five minutes with the valet, despite being able to see my car parked not 30 feet from the door.

There are better clubs in the 'Burgh, guys. I like Blush, despite (or maybe because of) the small, crowded quality of the place. I have yet to check out the new Penthouse Club, but I will do so the next time that I am in town.
