Good time out in the sticks
I visited Sensations Gentlemen's Club on a Friday night around 10pm. The club is a bit of a trek from the city, but for those willing to make the journey, it offers a unique experience in a less urban setting. From what I heard from the girls the action picks up later in the evening (they are open until 4am).
Ambiance:
Upon arrival, Sensations gives off a vibe that's a mix of rural charm and the edgy allure of a strip club. It's located near a truck stop, making it an intriguing stop for travelers or locals alike. The building itself is lit up with neon signs, making it hard to miss once you're in the area. Inside, the club isn't overly large but has a cozy feel with dim lighting and a center stage that's the focal point for performances. The decor is typical strip club - mirrors, plush seating, and plenty of chrome. There's a decent-sized bar area, but remember, they only serve juice and soda; no alcohol.
Dancers:
The dancers at Sensations are a mixed bag, which can be a good thing depending on your preferences. On the night I visited, there were around 15 dancers, each bringing something different to the stage. From what I observed, there's a decent rotation of girls, with some variety in appearance, from the girl-next-door types to more exotic looks. The performances were engaging, with dancers interacting well with the audience, making eye contact, and even coming down to chat between sets. The quality of dance varies, but there are definitely some standout performers who know how to work the pole and the crowd.
Pricing:
Lap Dances: $35 for a song, $65 for two. The dances are topless but they are in the main area with limited privacy. VIP Room prices start at $150 for 3 songs, with options up to $550 for an hour. Drinks are only non-alcoholic beverages and range from $4 to $6, which seemed fair for the setting.
VIP Room:
I did not opt for a VIP session, but I did get a tour of the room from one of the dancers after a lap dance. It was certainly private enough, and though there's no guarantee of "extras," that privacy would allow for more personal interactions.
Service and Staff:
The staff was friendly enough, though not overly attentive unless you were spending money. Security seemed to keep things in check without being overly intrusive. One downside was the wait times for drinks or getting into VIP sessions, but this might have been due to the staffing level on the night I visited.
Atmosphere:
The atmosphere at Sensations is what you'd expect from a club off the beaten path - a bit more laid back than city clubs. There's a sense of community among regulars, with some patrons clearly there to unwind after work or travel. The music was a good mix of hits, keeping the energy up. Smoking is allowed inside, which might be a downside for some.
Conclusion:
Sensations in Inola is a solid choice if you're looking for something different from the typical Tulsa strip club scene. It's not the flashiest or most luxurious, but it has its charm. The dancers are friendly, the prices are reasonable, and if you're after a more intimate experience, the VIP room offers that potential. Just remember, the journey there is part of the experience, so plan accordingly.
Would I go back? Yes, for the unique atmosphere and the potential to connect with some of the dancers.
