Solid time on a thursday night

Went here on a Thursday night around midnight since I happened to be in the area. The Harem is located in a nondescript strip mall that has a bunch of other businesses and is a couple blocks away from Satin Dolls. At least when I went there was plenty of parking because the other businesses were all closed.

Paid the $20 cover and headed in. Initially it was rather confusing because there is technically a bar area, but since it's BYOB there wasn't anybody actually staffing the bar since nobody was really buying the juices/waters there. Initially I only saw maybe 4-5 dancers who were either already chatting with other customers or each other.

Most of the seats in the place are arranged around the stage and there's two poles on the stage-one on each side of the club. There were also some small tables around the perimeter of the club though I'm not sure they were actually available? Even though the place is technically BYOB it seemed that it's possible to get six packs of beers in a bucket for you to "bring in" with you, though since it was getting close to closing time there was no way I was drinking six beers myself. Seems like a bunch of folks had bought buckets then left the beers they couldn't drink since there were a few random buckets with one or two beers left strewn around.
