Curtains being down make this a pointless stop for the money

I might be late to the party on this, but was shocked to see after all these years of dodging LE threats, the curtains are finally down. Stopped in for the first time in months. Asked for a booth and was told it was $40. wtf?? Used to be $20. Took a seat at the bar and hung out to get a lay of the land. Finally picked out a girl, early 20's, brown hair, had the "geek" vibe with glasses. Tipped her at the stage and she stopped by after her time up top. Decided to go back and get a few dances. To my disappointment, the curtains are gone. And while its completely pitch black back there, no chance for anything more than a dance. Bouncer walked back there multiple times in the 3 songs I got dances so needless to say was very disappointing. If I find out this is temporary and the privacy comes back i will return. If not, no chance.
