Not what I'm looking for

I was semi aware of this place but delayed visiting because I'd only heard negatives. I figured now was the best time to check things out with halloween coming up (spoiler: apparently there are no theme nights planned). My problem was that I had forgotten all the specifics about the club and thought nothing of that. Its located pretty close to the Loop and nothing about the area triggered any warnings for me, felt more like a deserted business district than anything. There was a $30 door cover, my mistake #1 but I can't let a measly 30 bucks stop me from checking out a club. The doorman was cool and warned me that it was BYOB, my mistake #2 but thats still fine, I had a nice buzz from a night of drinking and its better than being told no alcohol at all. For you guys though, turn around and bring a drink, it will likely help elevate the experience and help space out your time.

I walked upstairs, lighting was your usual dark club with candles. Stage was on one side of the room and a bunch of 2 person tables filled the area in front of it. What did surprise me was the amount of women in there. First off the male:female ratio was clearly in favor of the women, that definitely caught my attention but in what world is "too many women" a problem? I wish I looked closer though, (dark lighting and all), I couldn't tell if half of the women worked there and were just chatting at the tables or if they were also customers, either way it did help the atmosphere. On top of that, there were more women just sitting around and waiting for customers to arrive near the back of the room.

In total over the course of the night I was probably sitting at my table for a max of 10 mins so I didn't get to see many girls on stage. The ones I did see looked good but they didn't know what to do up there. In no particular order I spent the night with three different girls. From what was told to me the cheapest dance is a no touch (both ways) hover tease for $30 a song in a shared sectioned off area with a see through curtain. Shared meaning other guys and girls walk in and can have their dance next to you on the 4-5 person couch. The two girls I walked in there with stressed that there was no touching allowed so I didn't didn't push anything, idk why they felt they needed to emphasize it but either way I don't recommend for $30. Next two tiers up are a $200 (15? mins) and $350 (30 min) dance that does allow touching both ways but is topless only. Both of these are in an open area towards the rear of the room with booths lining the wall big enough to fit two people but too small to add a curtain. Depending on which booth you are in you'll probably see 1-2 other booths but if you find the right girl to distract you it could get kind of cozy. I wasn't so lucky but that was purely my mistake #3; I didn't want to deal with the "she told everyone you weren't looking for a dance or I would have come over hours ago" routine so I rolled with the first 3 women who approached. One girl was a little older, probably a 6, pretty friendly, lots of dirty talk, but she wasn't a good dancer. Second girl was more of an 8, good dancer but she looked like she was mentally counting down the time until she was off of work since the moment she introduced herself. Not much talking, though I didn't help matters, and about a quarter way through our session I completely lost my buzz. She did warm up towards the end so it wasn't a total bust. Third girl was my mistakes #4 and 5, lets just say I need to keep a better eye out for implants before I say yes to a dance... Lastly there is a $600 hour long dance option which I didn't do, I wasn't told that it would be any different so I assume its just another topless dance in the same area. Theres no way I'm doing an hour in that area, its hands down my least favorite "private booth" situation so far.
