Maybe I didn't do enough research ahead of time, but I was surprised there were no poles. That said, I've never been to a club that had actual table dances on your table, so while it wasn't quite a fair trade, it was novel.
The stages were full of dancers, with about 30 percent putting in some effort, and the rest just slowly writhing and trying, and failing, not to look bored.
There were enough friendly dancers that I ended up with a table dance, followed by a lap dance with a bit of air. Not terrible, and definitely somewhere I would take visiting friends, but not what I was hoping for.
