Is the Hustler Club a Hustle?

Like most things in the harbor in what was once the proud jewel of the city - Harborplace -- the Hustler Club sits as the anchor of the mall that is the Baltimore Block. However, with a police bust 1-2 years ago Larry's Hustler Club has become an experience fitting only of tourists who will visit a venue just to report to others that they went.

For the local 'gentleman' expecting fun, leisure, and entertainment from an attractive performer, the offerings will be thin and cater only to a crowd desperate to part with their money.

I have visited dozens of times -- before and after the bust -- with memorable brushes with beautiful girls -- and then later - only to find a washed out experience of non-topless lap dances, upselling of dancers and lots of turnover. While remaining a plush club, the clientele has been reduced to those of visiting sports team fans and those attending a local hotel's business blah-blah.
