Continues to be a favorite

The Hustler club has been one of my favorites in St. Louis for some time. After my most visits, this hasn't changed. I was there on both a Friday, arriving around 9:00pm, and on Saturday arriving around 11. The cover on Friday was $20 including the wristband for the lap dance area (and smoking room apparently). The woman selling the tickets was fully dressed. On Saturday, they charged $25 for the cover, and the woman at the front was topless. IDs were checked, but not scanned, both times.

They've made a few changes since my last visit. Down the hall from the entry is the main show room, with the bar straight in front of you. There used to be a small stage to the right of that, which feels like the "back" of the club from the main stage to the far left. That stage, which had a cage and hanging hoop for some time, was completely covered up with a sign saying a new "drink rail" was in progress. To the left of the bar there used to be another small circular stage with a pole mixed in with the general seating. That's also been replaced. There's now a set of seats surrounding a small square floor-level stage. That provided for some very up-close performances. The main stage was unchanged, with three poles and seats all around.

On Friday at 9, the club was already mildly busy. On Saturday about 11 the main parking lot was full. I discovered they have additional parking across the street. It was clearly busier inside as well. I think there may have been more dancers working Friday, however.
