Expectations met

This was my second trip to Arnie's. I don't live in the area, but I was visiting Chicago and since the last trip was good, I made it a point to return. Arrived at the club around 6:30 and parking was readily available right out front and was free. Last time I was stopped on my way in for a quick pat down, but this time I was able to walk right to the bar - no cover charge, no pat down.

For those who are not familiar with the club, as others have recommended, just go sit at the bar, and the ladies will find you. There was a pretty good "variety" of AA entertainers on shift, and many of them were of the "phat booty" variety if that is your thing. I personally prefer a smaller frame, and was approached by a couple of ladies that fit that order. The smallish stage was vacant when I arrived, but after a bit, a tall, well built dancer got active on the stage, but you can tell that the culture of the club isn't the stage show. There were maybe a dozen or so patrons there and about as many entertainers, but nobody was really tipping at the stage. Most were seated at or near the bar, visiting with the ladies. Interestingly, about the 3rd or 4th gal to get up on the stage was caucasian. In my limited experience, that is unusual at Arnie's.

And as other reviews have stated, the "deal" at Arnie's is to make your selection and head to the back. From my last visit, (and other reviews here) I was aware that there are basically two options, one for $60 and the other for $120, so when we got to an empty booth in back, I just requested the option that I wanted by the dollar amount, as in "I was looking for the sixty dollar option". My hostess indicated that it would be an extra $10 for security, and even though I didn't have to pay that last time, I didn't really have a problem with it.
