Visited: Thursday Afternoon

I've been coming here regularly during the day shift for a couple of years now, and the quality has declined in some ways (while remaining high in others).

The biggest problem with their day shift is the number of dancers. There's usually only two or three, and they're often neither the prettiest nor the friendliest, probably because there are often no--as in ZERO--customers. Their daytime hours were very, very inconsistent for a couple of hours, to the point that they were often closed because they lacked a bartender, dancers or both, and people stopped bothering. No customers means no desire to dance there for the better dancers, which leads to no customers, which leads to no dancers. That's a vicious cycle, but I'm not sure how much the club cares. The body types run towards "slender," I'd say about half are African-American, and there's a shortage of both dancing skills and conversation.

On top of that, you'd think the dancers would want to sit and talk when they're not on stage, to try and maximize revenue from the few customers who're there. But on a couple of occasions, I've tipped a dancer on stage a dollar or two, tipped her again when she comes by after the set, and then watched her sit down to play with her phone.
