Visited: Saturday Evening

I stopped in here late-ish on a Saturday night, and I'm really not sure I know anything about it, even after spending an hour there. The club is on main street between 9W and the thruway. The sign is decent, so you can see it before you get to it, and there's a decently sized parking lot. Apparently there's an adult shop attached to the club, but I didn't go in it (or did I?). When you enter the club, you go through a hallway with a few mannequins (the adult shop?) before getting to the cover counter, where they charge you $12 for cover and you prepay for a drink, grand total of $18 (around 11pm on a Saturday).

Drink bar is off to the right a bit, with a couple chairs, where they'll serve you non-alcoholic stuff since its a nude club. Like a lot of clubs, the drink girl was the hottest one in the place. Most of the other girls were sitting in a group right by the entry, looking like they're waiting to pounce on anyone who comes in. Somehow, at that time on a Saturday, I was the only one in the club, so that was a bit unsettling. I got my drink and went over to the stage area, which is pretty odd - it's a long rectangle with only one side accessible by customers, with seats along a tip rail, and then more seating behind. I sat down in the back row for the not-too-attractive dancer that was on stage. While I was there, the next dancer came up and said hi, so I moved up front for her. She had a decent body, OK face, but was way more of a pro on stage than the first girl. After she was done she offered a private dance and gave me the rundown - dances cost a certain amount, but dancers "expect" that they'll get a matching amount in tips.

So, 10 minutes costs $54, but with the tip is actually $108. Dances range in length from 5 minutes to an hour, but all the prices were bizarre numbers that I don't remember. I don't know what happens if you welsh on the tip, but you pay the actual dance fee up front where you paid your cover. I've read the reviews of this place, so I know things happen, but the dancer said "no penetration" so I figured I got one of the clean ones (and I wouldn't have gone for extras anyway, so no loss). Dances take place on some weird thing that you can lay down on, but is only about 18" wide, so it's not really a couch or chair.
