Boring Friday Night at Players Club Baltimore

Basics: $25 cover, $15 for membership (lasts a year). That's high, but it keeps the riff-raff out. BYOB club, so you can save that way, especially if you're a big drinker, or like getting the girls drinks. Not much for purchase, $5 water and some chips or candy if you're lucky. Mixers are available (I didn't buy). Lap dances are negotiable, most girls are $30. VIP is $60 to the house and whatever you can negotiate with the girl.

I normally have a work schedule that means my biggest clubbing days are on Tuesdays and Sundays, not great I know. As fortune would have it, I had a Friday available, so I got my hopes up. That was a big mistake.

This place was dead: On the way in, I passed by McDoogals, and noticed that somebody was already leaving, and I thought to myself that wasn't a good sign and continued on to Players. Pulled up on the early side, between 8 and 9. Parking lot was dead! This is an industrial part of the city, so although it's largely deserted, it feels safe. Even though it was a Friday night, there weren't that many girls there. But more dammingly, there weren't any customers either! There were three guys at the start of my day, and barely 6 when I left. The place was so dead, they closed the second stage.
