Lido Room is definitely worth checking out.

The first time I went, was on a Tuesday night, was probably around 9:30pm and there were maybe only 5-7 other guys in the place besides me. There were probably about 20 girls. Girls were definitely very attractive. That first night may have just been an off-night, the location in union square is a bit odd and I think I just may have gotten dances from girls who were pros and there wasn't much of a connection with them. Dances seemed mechanical and the girls didn’t seem like they wanted to be there, obviously they didn’t, but usually they are better at hiding it. While there were definitely some hot girls there, was kind of a weird vibe. Maybe because there werent too many other guys there. I was a bit underwhelmed initially. But I did see the potential for this place.

I decided to give this place another shot and went a second time and the second time was awesome, expensive but awesome. I went to their Rock center location and it was a lot nicer than the union square location. It is on the second floor of a restaurant. You actually walk through the restaurant where families are having dinner to get to the second floor where the debauchery is happening. Kind of funny, you walk by innocent families shoveling raviolis into their pie holes, while dirty lap dancing is going on ten feet above their heads.

I got there at 7:45pm, so I paid $20 to get in. Drinks were $18 each, but there is no pressure to get one, you can just chill and not even get a drink. I like to drink, so I had a few. There were probably about 10 girls milling around the front bar area and 3-4 other guys there when I first arrived. I went up to the bar and recognized a few of the girls from the other night. I decided to not get dances from them cause I don’t remember any of them being that great, but I was pretty drunk that first night, so I could be wrong. Got approached by a couple of girls who initiated conversation, the hustle factor varies from none to high, you can definitely tell who the pros are vs the newer girls. I did notice that I tended to connect more with the girls that I had to approach and initiate contact with vs those that approached me.
