One of my favorite clubs to just sit back and hang out in, though it is still kind of a dark dingy dump. Not always the most incredible looking women, but not the ugliest, and you can usually find at least 3 women to fit any particular persons' idea of "sexy". What I have always liked most is that it is usually a fairly low pressure club. Sure the waitresses come around fairly often asking if you need another drink, and the women walk by after every set looking for a tip, but there is not really a requirement that you do either. I have seen guys sitting oggling for a few hours while nursing the same drink without a problem.

It is kind of small, so busy nights (Thu-Sat, and all soccer game nights) it can be very hard to find a seat where no one will bump into you. There are two fairly small stages, though on slower nights only one is used. Booths and tables are on the riser around the main stage, with a "VIP" area directly facing the stage and two long "tipping" tables right on top of the stage. I will say that "VIP" might be a little overenthusiatic for this little couch, but again it's a very small dingy club, though they are always changing something. The smaller second stage is right off the bar and is about 3'x3' square with two tables almost on the stage. The rest of the club is filled with a few tables set up in a long cafeteria style, the bar and barstools, and a big screen TV.

If you are in the mood for it, the women can be pretty cool to hang out with not really rushing and not really hustling, just happy to get an extra tip, or a drink bump here and there, though there are a few exceptions. There have been rumors of "under the table" dealings for a long time, some might be true, some might not. I can say that I have seen one woman fired and one longtime customer thrown out for that sort of thing though. Then again I have also been propositioned there once by a woman who no longer works there. Like all places and all rumors, your mileage may vary.
