OK, clubs here are a bit odd. For one thing, they don't seem to open until 10pm (and then are scheduled to close at 3am, though I didn't wait around to check). These are definitely lap dance clubs, but they are relatively low-contact (by most standards). And they're expensive.

So here's how it worked at Angels, though I've been assured it is similar in other clubs.

Come in the door, and there is a cover charge (20 Euros) and a bar. There are also a lot of dancers. I went on a Wednesday, and there were over a dozen (with 2 customers at the time) with at least 6 of them drop-dead gorgeous. Mix of ethnicities, including Irish, English, Eastern Europe, and more.
