Mixed experience - would go again!

This is a long overdue review from August. I went to Lido Room for the first time on a Tuesday at the downtown location. I told the bouncer I was there for the Lido Room and showed him the email invite. When I walked in, the girl at the front asked for the $50 cover. I thought they accepted credit cards, but it turned out there was a $100 minimum, so I opted to pay with cash instead. I used their ATM since I wanted to save enough cash for some dances - turned out their ATM charged some pretty aggressive fees.

The first thing I noticed was the red lighting in this venue, which I didn't like at all. Imagine everything having a red tint! I headed to the bar to get a glass of water. Surprisingly, the bartender didn't charge me anything for it. I left a tip and then started scanning the girls. There were a few girls chatting up patrons at the bar, and a few others standing back away from the bar awkwardly.

I approached a gorgeous young white girl who was just standing by herself -- honestly I was surprised that someone THAT beautiful wouldn't have guys all over her, but I later realized that there were lots of beauties at this place. Her name was Zoey, and she was a makeup artist. Very sweet, slender, and wholesome looking -- all natural with no tattoos. She was totally my type, so after some small talk, I said yes when she asked if I wanted any dances. I asked her whether she was OK with touching, and she said she was fine with it "up top". Dances are topless and $20 each.
