Quick visit, slow time of night

As I found out, apparently the evening doesn't start until 10 around Saint John. I got there around 830/9 and was literally the only person there. The bouncer was nice, no cover, passed the meal detector with no issues and was in... To the first bar.

It's an odd layout with a first, outer bar with almost normal lighting, and a few chairs/couches with a pole in the corner. You can grab a drink (5.75 for a single, double for a double, not terrible prices) and watch a game on the TV, a monitor of the inner stage, or just chat with whoever is there. A few girls were hanging out trying out moves on the pole, but were clearly not looking for business yet.

After I wandered into the inner part - nobody on stage - I chatted with one girl for probably 15 minutes before I was "caught" taking in the full picture, then she asked if I wanted a dance. I followed her to the little cubbie things and off she went (songs are 4 minutes, $20 per).
