Thursday at Hell’s Kitchen location

Been to Lido room multiple times and usually at this location. It’s a 3 floor venue where you mingle and get drinks on the 2nd floor in a large bar area. There is also a rooftop when the weather is nice. Once I was here where the mingling with the girls was on the roof and you had to take an elevator down to the ground floor go to the lap dance room. That was a weird vibe, so glad they’ve changed it to mingling and scouting the girls on the 2nd floor with the lap dance room right there.

The only bad part about this place is the $50 cover but it’s worth it. The quality of the talent is top notch, but only if you like having some girls that aren’t totally full time strippers. There’s also no stripping so if that’s your thing, this ain’t the spot. If you like grabbing a drink and actually talking to the girls, here there is very little pressure to “go get a dance.” Usually you have to be the one to initiate (or it could be that I’m not patient enough to wait for them to bring it up). Dances are $20 each and in an area where you share couches in a pretty open area. Everyone else is in the middle of getting dances as well so you get used to seeing topless girls grinding on guys while the guys grope them. As with everything in life, YMMV, but I never really push it while getting dances. Most of the girls do a great job of being sexy and friendly but still heavy grinding. They encourage groping breasts but discourage anything down below. No hardass bouncers but it could be that I’ve never crossed the line. Some girls will DFK, but just depends if you vibe with them. I doubt there are any extras. I’ve heard from some friends with some slight hand over pants stuff, but you’re right out in the open so I can’t imagine anyone actually getting a handie.

Overall, this is my fav place in all of NYC. SVT used to be right up there but now they’re closed. Can’t imagine anyone who wants a fun night with some lap dancing by hot girls would be disappointed here. 9/10.
