My last visit to SVT was on a Friday night almost 2 years ago. The location was in a rundown nightclub in the Financial District, near City Hall and Tribeca.
There was an entrance at street level, and after you paid your $50 entrance fee, you walked down the stairs to the main Room. The Main Room by the bar was packed with a lot of guys who appeared to be mainly late 20's and 30's, dressed in suits, and mostly in the financial industry.
The place was packed to the point of being uncomfortable. The ratio of male customers to female dancers was high and it became competitive to find a dancer. Some guys would wait by the exit from the semi-private lap dance area to find a dancer as she was leaving. The girls were mostly in their 20's, thin, white and attractive.
There was a large bar to one side of the room. Drinks were expensive. One customer was complaining that the mixed drinks were watered down.
SVT has been closed now for over one year, and there is no indication that it will ever come back.
