I was in town for business and decided to stop by as it was closest to my hotel. On future trips, I will be sure to drive a little further to check out another place instead. Maybe I should have known better when I pulled up and saw that this place is literally part of a strip mall. That being said, at least it didn't feel like too sketchy of an area and I didn't feel unsafe between my car and the door. The atmosphere when you walk basically feels like that of your local neighborhood dive bar, nothing special or fancy or luxurious. I grabbed a seat and soon realized a new thing I haven't seen before...the glass wall. The entire stage is behind a glass wall with tiny little slots at the bottom to slide your dollars through. Maybe it's just me but this was off putting from the get go. I waited for about 15 minutes for a waitress so I could get a drink but the only one there was too busy chatting and not really doing much so I ended up going to the bar to get my own. Draft beers were reasonable at $4. I had a few drinks hoping that the women would make me love this place. Unfortunately here i was also disappointed. There were 5 (maybe 6) girls working while I was there, none really caught my eye as stunning...both in terms of looks and dance abilities that they showed on stage. I refused a couple dances from 2 of the really pushy (and most unattractive) girls there finished a few beers and took off. If your'e looking for a great strip club experience, I wouldn't suggest this place. If you want some reasonable priced drinks with some nudity, it's not a bad place to stop by for a few cold ones.
