Nothing else like it around

Having read a bit about Arnie's, I was both curious and apprehensive. But it turned out to be totally safe in the early evening, and I'm guessing it usually is. I arrived around 8pm during the NBA Finals, paid cover ($15), and dodged the dancers who immediately made eye contact, to sit down at the bar and relax with a cold one while watching the game. Pretty quickly, one very shapely lean dancer sat next to me, and was friendly without being super-pushy, which I appreciate. I experienced the Arnie's handshake, and there was a good bit of mutual groping while watching the Cavs gets punished.

She offered takeout (I declined), and then offered a visit to the back. Since the game was going nowhere, we settled on one dance, and then some oral relief for a fair price. She didn't rush the first dance, and the finish was pleasant. If I were a local, I might have taken her up on the offer for her digits.

More generally, I got the impression that the dancers there are just trying to make a living, rather than working for any nefarious purposes.
