A good value, relaxed venue

I went on a late afternoon, mid-week w an hour to kill. A decent number of dancers, hard to get an accurate count as some were hanging out in the segregated smoking area and other seemed to drift in from the changing area. Mostly in the 5-6 range, a few far too heavy or weathered for my taste, but that was expected on a Tuesday afternoon. No cover, a charge to sit in a booth but not to sit at the bar or a table. The problem with the bar is it faces directly opposite of the stage so to watch the action you need to contort your body 180 degrees or swap your chair to put your back to the bar. Both options a little ackward. There is no smoking in the main area, smoking is permitted in a closed area towards the back. That’s a big benefit if you don’t want to arrive at your next location reaking or smoke. The menu seems to be varied among the ladies, but based on limited discussions it seems you can find what you if you are interested in some attention in the VIP area. No valet and go fee to park, with a parking lot and entrance in a back area away from Michigan Ave traffic is also a plus. I found the Cricket to be just what I expected and that’s a good thing.
