Repeat visit at Brad's

I had previously done a couple enjoyable day shifts at Brad's and was in town on a weeknight, so I went in to see how the night shift compared.

I got in around 9, club had maybe 20 guys in it with about an equal number of dancers. One dancer that seemed to be the hottest of the bunch at first glance was quite obviously tied down to one regular that was there, so I knew that was off the table, but otherwise things looked pretty good. On my previous visits I had stayed long enough for the night shift to start rolling in and was unimpressed at that time, but the night shift this time seemed to be alright. This was my first visit to the club at night, and I could see how you might be able to pass it by on the road because the building doesn't scream "strip club", but it was well lit enough to stand out and there's a sign on the street that's fairly visible. Cover was $8 and I got a $3.25 grilled cheese with a side of chips and a Bud (I think $4.50?) before settling in.

Interior has been covered many times, including by me, but the quick rundown is that it looks very 70s, with wood paneling and brass all over, with a long narrow stage down the middle of the room that has poles at either end and the center where dancers enter from the floor. Seating is in leather rolling club chairs around cocktail tables all over the room; some seats have obstructed views of the stage. TVs are strewn about and were showing either the baseball playoffs or a replay of the Monday Night Football game. Dance rooms are off toward the left as you enter; large room for semi-private $100/half hour dances to the left, open single-song dance area to the right, and the $200/half hour Brass Room a bit further. Past all that is a door leading to the outdoor smoking patio that has a bunch of metal furniture and two TVs, where dancers and customers can mingle while smoking; you can take your drink out there.
