This pastie club is in the basement of the old Pagano's Restaurant, below Chili's and Abner's Steaks, at the corner of 38th and Chestnut Streets near Penn's campus. The club is roughly a square. with a T shaped bar that holds four poles. As you come in, the DJ booth is to the left side of the T. The cashier who takes your cover is at the door, at the base of the T. The couch room is past the cashier, to the right of the base of the T. To the left of the cashier is the men's room and a hallway. Off the hallway are three private couch dance rooms and a Bachelor Party room.

The ceiling is low, so no amazing pole tricks here. The music is heavily rap, as the girls are often predominantly black. With the low ceiling and high decibel level, the music is often deafening. Depending on taste, that will either be to your liking or you'll leave quickly. The place has been renovated in the last six months. Gus has spent a great deal of money replacing bar stools and couches. He has also installed flat screen TVs everywhere.

The couch room is generally clean and comfortable. The dances are typically vigorous, as with any place they depend on the girl. The men's room is often not clean, as the clientele is mostly lower end and there is not usually an attendant to keep things in order.
