Halloween Visit

Have been here once before on a slow night (a Monday), so I decided to try a Saturday around 10 p.m. Wasn't terribly busy even then, but I don't think there was ever more than maybe 15 dancers in circulation. Had a burger and fries while I watched, and they turned out to be both respectable quality and very reasonably-priced as club food goes.

The club is located just off of the Halstead St. exit on I-294; its sign is even visible from the exit, though you have to drive a ways back on an access road to get to it. Not the nicest-looking area, and they do have metal detectors at the door, but I never felt unsafe. The club also does seem to have a limo service. On the inside it is tightly-run, with one or two suited gentlemen seating all guests, diligently keeping things organized, and procuring dancers on request. The layout features a single large stage with two poles. Dancer quality was no better than average this night or on my Monday visit the month before, with a leaning towards heavier ladies; one fell into my normal strike zone (i.e., short and petite), but almost no others were even close. Dance prices are typical for the area: $20 for topless, $30 for nude, and the dancers assume nude unless told otherwise. Many (not all) will also go full nude on stage. Songs are consistently cut at a little under 3 minutes.

Aside from offering full nude, the club's one selling point - and the one thing that distinguishes it from any other club I've visited in the Chicago area - is that its lap dances are *very* hands-on. You can literally put your hands anywhere, and this is apparently club policy, as the dancers advertised that fact in conversation with me. In fact, the Latino dancer I took back for a couple of dances was very insistent about having her breasts massaged and/or her pussy directly stroked, to the point that she concentrated more on getting me to do that than actually lap dancing and seemed unhappy if I wasn't being vigorous enough about it. I've only had her for dances there so I don't know if this extreme is typical, though.
