First time at Cloakroom

Was in DC for business and went to a Capitals game. The Cloakroom is within walking distance of Capital One Arena and the metro, so that's great.

After walking through the door, a security guy checked my ID and spoke into his wireless mic "one coming up". There are a lot of security guys, all wearing dark pants, shirts, and vests. They all look like secret service because of their wireless earpieces and mics in their sleeve cuffs. It is amusing to see how seriously they take it. But I guess it is necessary for a place that hosts pornstars like Lisa Ann and Romi Rain.

After walking up a flight of stairs, I paid a cashier the $20 cover and got 100 singles. A "host" (just another security guy) found an open seat for me. The first floor layout is not great in my opinion. The stage borders the bar and the other 3 sides do not have seats, so there is not seating with a great view of the stage. There are seats behind the bar and off to the one side. There are also several nice sofa areas for customers who order bottle service. Those areas have the best view of the stage. Customers could walk up to the stage to tip, but it was discouraged to linger there unless you are throwing bills. I only saw about 12 girls working (I was later informed that there were about 25 total and the rest were in another stage room upstairs which I did not visit). The girls I saw were all young models, in great shape and natural. There were a couple blondes, a couple brunettes, 3 black girls, 2 redheads, and I met one from Brazil. When not dancing, the girls wear elegant, revealing gowns and miniskirts which reflects the sophisticated atmosphere this club is trying to present. The waitress was very nice and as hot as the dancers. I drank 4 drinks at $18 each (most expensive drinks I have seen in a club yet).
