On a busy night, creepy other customers make for a bad time

For all the rave reviews of the Geisha House here, it's important to emphasize the place isn't perfect. Here are the big takeaways I had from a recent trip: If you pick a time that's "busy," it's awkward. If you're a little more on the passive side, you might end up losing out. And the selection isn't always all that great. Allow me to elaborate.

I wasn't necessarily particularly seeking the Geisha House's services on this particular night, kind of just wanting to have a beer and see a dancer among the ones I have grown to be a fan of at Club Bristol. However, only one of those three dancers was there, and she was tied up with a regular, so I decided to bail for the Geisha House, as it was too late to make my way over to the west side and Silk.

Little did I know, things get busy at the Geisha House on Saturday night around 1 a.m. A reminder how the place works: You go to the door of the house, press a buzzer and are let in to a common lobby area.
