slight improvement

Despite having had mediocre/poor experiences in the past, I was driving by on a Friday a couple days before Xmas so stopped in, and had a better time than previous stops. $10, parked in the lot (you can pull in on the 9W side to avoid valet). The place was pretty busy but there was still a few spots at the bar, and despite there being a lot of guys there, it was still possible to get dancers' attention if you're patient. Most guys aren't going for dances here anyway. Dancers were an even mix of white, AA, and Latina (Dominican), and all decent, though there was only one out of the crowd that *really* caught my eye. Got a couple dances with her after a little eye contact. Decent grind, no song shorting.

Listen, it's still the Hudson Valley, there's still no privacy on the couch dances, and the set-up of this place is still pretty bizarre (with the weird elevated stage). But the bartenders are cute and occasionally there's a dancer who's an 8 or 9.
