Mardi Gras

Stopped by at about 3:00 pm on a weekday for the first time in over ten years. I’m glad I did. There was no cover charge.

Inside, the place looked pretty much like I last remembered it: a cramped maze, but a nice cramped maze. From the entrance, there are two ways to go. To the right is a short hall that leads to the main bar, in front of which are two small stages. In front of the stages is a row of mirrored columns that makes it difficult to see across the room. Past the columns against the far wall is a seating area. Past the seating is a large stage, which wasn’t used while I was there. If you take a left at the entrance instead of a right, you go through another short hall to an elevated area with another small stage, a small bar, and another seating area.

There is a large second level lodge over the main bar area accessed by stairs at either end. I dimly recall wandering around upstairs years ago to get a good view of the main club area, but no more. The stairs are roped off because the upstairs is now a VIP area and you need to buy a $10 wristband to enter. The place is decently furnished and has an upscale look. It’s not what I would call luxurious, but it’s nice and well kept. There were maybe 15 or 20 guys, mostly middle-age looking PLs, mostly white, but a couple of AAs also. There were maybe a dozen or so dancers with similar demographics as the customers: mostly white spinner/MILF types, but I saw one curvy, young AA. Most appeared to be mid-to late twenties or thirties, but they were all pretty good looking. I don’t think I saw any 10s, but they were all between 7 and 9.
