A good local hang out joint

To look at it, you'd think that the Gentleman's Gold Club is one of those upscale joints like you'd find in downtown (think Hustler or Scores), but despite it having reasonably upscale decor and trappings, in fact its a fairly low key, almost working class joint. They have two bars: the main section and a smaller, more intimate bar that they use on Mondays & Tuesdays and for special events and parties.

I admit I'm a semi-regular, and I have gotten to know a lot of the girls and almost to a woman they all say that they really enjoy working there. And, really: it shows. Sure, they're there to make money but very few of them are overtly hassling guys for dances or tips (though they can get a bit pushy for drinks, since the management requires them to hustle like 5 typically overpriced drinks per shift or it comes out of their fee; its a Baltimore thing, apparently), and they are generally very willing to sit and chat. The price for lap dances is $30 or $40 for an 'extreme' lapdance (where they can take off their tops), but since the club isn't one of those that edits the songs, its not as bad as all that (they do have a special on Wednesdays with $20 a dance). They also have VIP rooms and whatnot, and those run $300+ a half hour.

As to the quality of the dancers: they are a pretty even mix of types and ethnicities, so chances are you'll see a girl to your tastes regardless of when you're there.
