I've now made a couple visits here. It's time for a review. This new club is very upscale with prices to match. First, outside. It's right off the highway in a waterfront industrial area next to several other adult businesses. There is limited parking on the street. Valet seems to be the norm here, $5. It's not in a nice area. Whether it's safe to leave your car outside of the fenced in valet lot, and walk a distance from where you parked, not sure. I've only been here after dark, but the building seems to be nice on the outside. There is an attendant or two that will greet you outside. The place is well-staffed, probably over-staffed. There is a metal detector inside the door. The cover is $10 weeknights and $20 on weekends. Pretty steep compared to other clubs in the city. There is a dress code. Inside, it's newly remodeled and very upscale. Another two or three attendants inside. I call them attendants because they're well dressed, clean-cut and polite. Not the norm in most clubs. One large stage in the center of the room with plenty of seating. The high ceiling allows for a nice tall pole suitable for some pole tricks. Plenty of tables and seats all around the stage, a large bar across the back wall with more seats, three or four large VIP seating areas across the far wall. The DJ booth is in the near wall. Down the hall behind that are the bathrooms and the lap dance area. Beers are $8. I found the bartender and waitress service here to be very poor throughout both my visits, almost amateur. This is surprising because the place otherwise seems very well managed. Most of the dancers at this point are from out of town. Many of them are from Eastern Europe. Not sure how long this will last. All of the dancers that I saw during my visits were attractive. Bathrooms are clean but single stalls. If this place ever gets busy, there will be lines which is ridiculous. The clientele was pretty upscale, with as many women customers as men while I was there. Definitely couple friendly. Everybody appeared to be enjoying themselves. I didn't see any of the sweatsuit wearing loners lurking in the shadows that are the norm in these places. I also didn't see any young punks, senior citizens, Indians or ghetto thugs. Private dances are $30 per song topless, $40 per song nude, $150 for three songs topless, all in a semi-private booth with no door or curtain. There is plenty of friction, but I wouldn't expect extras or mileage here if that's your thing. There are longer options too with prices approaching $2k. ATM in the building with a reasonable fee. Music is good, and not too loud so you can have a conversation. All in all, this is a nice place and without a doubt the most upscale club in the city. Well worth a visit, but noticeably pricey for the area. There are 2-3 other clubs in the city that are a better value. I suspect that over time this place will change its business model to better suit the area, but at that point it will probably lose what makes it unique in the city right now.
