Palace in the Pines is a guaranteed good time

Almost every summer since 2013 I have combined a Saturday-night concert at the Warren Amphitheater with a late-night visit to the Palace in the Pines. The attraction of this nondescript little club is simple: the first blowjob I ever got in a strip club took place here in 2013 and the same entertainment has been available on every subsequent visit, including this most recent one.

The club is easy to find on US 422, about two miles east of Youngstown and just east of the intersection with OH 616 (Coitsville-Hubbard Road). As has been described many times, the building actually contains two very different strip clubs, front and back. I have never visited the front part, which I imagine is a standard topless club with alcohol. The back, which is now somewhat ostentatiously called the Royalty Room, offers nudity and extras but no alcohol, though water and soft drinks are available for $1 or so.

I arrived about 11:30 and took a seat, one of a couple dozen along three sides of a long, narrow stage that occupies most of the room. One stripper at a time comes onto the stage from the dressing room and makes a clockwise circuit, offering to dance for each customer for a dollar or few. All get topless and flash some pussy but most don't get totally nude, at least on this night.
