This a is dive bar. The 'dancers' and that is in quotes because almost none of them ever dance on stage are all older. They are a mix, mainly spanish with a russian, american and african american in the mix. Most of the time they will try to wrangle drinks and tips from you while at the bar. Owner put up cameras near the bar, probably to be sure the cash for drinks is going into the register not the barmaids pocket. The dancers say it is to keep them getting too 'friendly' with the customers. Doesn't seem to have stopped any of them from groping and being groped.
The interior had refit a year or two ago so it looks modern enough inside. The toilet works. The barmaids and the dancers push hard for drinks.
If you want to hang out in a friendly, sleazy bar and buy drinks for 'friendly' but older dancers this place works.
A dancer told me that the place is for sale and may become a regular bar. go while you can. maybe if business picks up it will stay open.
