Hiding in plain sight

I must have driven past this place a dozen times before and never noticed it. It is as described in the other reviews...small stage upfront, smaller pole near the bar, pool table in the middle. VIP "area" are three recliner chairs in a separate area of the open room. This is not the place for a little privacy.

I clearly looked like a mark when I went in, more women than men, but an AA dancer who said she's only occasionally there started chatting with me. She asked me to buy her a shot but I declined, had just walked in, but she kept talking. Eventually she did some $10 dances for me upfront near the stage. They were solid but low mileage. She suggested going to VIP; there are signs there that the minimum is $25 each so I pointed to that and said 'that's the deal huh' which she answered affirmatively. Those dances were better but still hands to the side for the most part. She offered digits which was cool, but then tried to upcharge the VIP. I split the difference and was out.

Probably good for exactly this scenario - meet, phone, outside next time...and convenient...but at least other places in Charlotte the private dances usually have better outcomes.
