Yeah, Baby

Chicas Locas is in a very large building in a fenced lot in what looks like a light industrial area on the western outskirts of Dallas. The building has two wings. The left wing has a large “Cabaret” sign and a smaller, temporary looking, “Chicas Locas” sign. The right wing of the building has a large sign that says “Concert,” and a section in the middle that looks like offices has a large “Cabaret Royal” sign. I thought I was at the wrong location at first because the Chicas Locas sign was the least noticeable.

Chicas Locas is in only the left section of the building. I don’t know what goes on in the other parts of the building, if anything, or if they’re vacant. The left wing alone makes a pretty big club. It’s pretty nice and upscale looking. There’s a covered drive and a fountain out front (same as the other wing), some glass doors, a patio like entry area, then some very large wooden doors, then the entrance lobby. In the lobby is a counter with a door girl, but there was no cover for my first visit at about 9:00 p.m. on Thursday evening (the sign outside says no cover from 8:00 p.m. to closing). The entrance to the main club area is to the left of the counter, past the counter is a stairway leading to a mezzanine.

Downstairs in the main club area the bar it the far right (restrooms to the right of that), The main stage is the left of the bar in the far corner, and then there are two satellite stages shaped like pianos, one next to the main bar and another near the entrance. In the left corner is a smaller bar and a pool table. A beer was $5.75. Like the Chicas Locas in Houston, change was given in $2 bills, obviously to encourage tips of at least $2.
