Clean but empty

I stopped by at 12:30 on a Saturday night. It's in an industrial area, surrounded by electrical substations, train tracks, and large chemical plants that look like oil refineries. The parking lot is surrounded by chain link fence and has rollaway gates like a plant entrance. Lot is well lit. There were two cars in it, and I wasn't sure the place was even open.

I'm a fan of both Bar Rescue and strip clubs so I was curious to see what this place was like. I had not been there before the transformation. There is a turnstile to get in, which I thought a bit odd. $10 cover, $7.50 Labatt. The place is very clean and nicely lit. If you've seen Bar Rescue you know that the first thing he does is have the owner "clean the place up!" The bar area was very clean, and as it was slow, the bartender was cleaning the bottoms of the bottles and the back shelves. You don't often see this is any bar, much less a strip club. The carpet is new, dark with flecks of material that glows in black light. The bar top is backlit and changes colors. I expected dozens of TVs, which is a Taffer signature, but there were no more than normal for a club. Seating was very comfy with large round upholstered bar stools and armchairs on the floor.

The place is very small. In the middle is a two-pole stage, surrounded by comfy armchairs. To the right are a couple of plush booths. On the left is the bar, which faces away from the stage but there is a mirror. Toward the back are more booths. They could use a few tables but the room isn't really big enough for them. In back on the right are about three LD booths, tiny and without curtains. But they have handrails, a nice touch that enhances the acrobatic skills of the dancers. They could use little tables or shelves to hold your drink; this is a common problem in Detroit clubs. There was a $10 wristband fee for the LD booths. Bathroom was clean and spacious.
