Visited: Thursday Afternoon

I dropped by in afternoon as none of the other clubs were open. This place does not have a liquor license and I did not stop by to get BYOB refreshments so I had to stick to refreshments of a non-alcoholic kind sold by the hostess. When I asked if there was cover, the answer was yes and I said that it's early so what kind of cover are we talking about - let me go find out. Comes back and they say 1/2 price was still $5/6 bucks - forgot exact amount. Then comes the details. We have 1 dancer and another on the way but she is late. The one dancer shows me around the place since I'm a newbie. Lap dance area, not very private area opposite the stage. The VIP looks a bit more promising. with individual cubbies with screens in each - none were on. Ihang out to find out to watch the dancer and notice the one TV of 3 or 4 in the room is on and the one that is on can not get a signal. There is no personal attention given to the one other patron making it rain and then when I make it rain, there is no personal attention. After getting off the stage she visits with the one other patron and then myself. Had a great talk but was very concerned when dancer advised it was her 4th day. This explains why after her songs she went to a semi-private location to get dressed after being fully nude. Find out we're talking $25 for LD and 150/30/60 min VIPs for 2/4/7-hundred. Seems like high rolling stakes for mediocre talent. In any case, I left when the second dancer finally arrived as I could not see my way to staying around for this talent. If your hearts not in it, get out!

This place could pick up in evenings but I doubt it is worth it once the other options in town open up.
