I spent an afternoon hitting clubs on Bourbon a few months ago, and my observations about Rick’s could be applied to a lot of the clubs I visited: I was very shocked at how dead they were on a Saturday afternoon of St Patrick’s Day weekend.
When I walked in, there were a few dancers on but not a ton. I grabbed a beer (2 for 1 like the rest of the street, so that’s great value) and a seat. Say through a couple of dancers’ sets. They were fine, good looking but I wasn’t blown away. Not a ton of people in the club or dancers working the floor.
I assume the atmosphere kicks up in the evening. If so, I would recommend going then. But it was so-so in the afternoon.
