Possible Farewell Visit to SoCo

I may have made my last trip to SoCo (a laid back Wednesday evening). It seems to have run its course for me, but that is no fault of the clubs. This place has remained remarkably consistent for the last several years. For a small "dive" club, it is remarkably well run. SoCo is not trying to be like a bigger city "Show Club," it is a neighborhood titty bar (BYOB not really a bar but that is an Iowa thing) and if you judge it based on that standard it holds up very will compared to other neighborhood titty bars.

The cover is $10 which is on par with the local rate and seems reasonable to me. It is BYOB, but there is a bar in the same parking lot that will sell you a reasonably priced beer you can take with you. The bathroom is just barely passable but it always has soap. Girls are personable and certainly as attractive as girls in other Iowa clubs (it's a little better in Des Moines). There is a lot of dancer turnover, but I've never been there on a night when there weren't a few attractive dancers. Management seems to do a good job of keeping them from hiding in the dressing room or fiddling with their phones but you may have to pry them away from regulars. Dances are reasonable two-way contact which is also in keeping with the local competition. The private dance room is a little too well lit and not super private since the booths are open. Privates are 2-for-1 on Wednesday and Thursday and 3 for $50 on Friday and Saturday. ITC extras are very unlikely with the open well-lit booths, but it wouldn't shock me to learn that there is takeout available from some (I try to stay out of trouble this close to home, more out of habit than necessity now that I am divorced).

SoCo remains a low key, low hustle way to see titties on a budget, but maybe not worth a regular 1+ hour drive. I may have to start reviewing my road clubs in order to keep my membership active. That will include a lot of complaining about the crappy Portland strip club scene and the crappier Colorado clubs (sorry in advance).
