Rude dancers
Wanted to go Hollywood, which has been my favorite club in East St. Louis, but it's closed now (I heard it was a fire) so a friend recommended Diamond Cabaret. The club itself is nice enough, it's easy to get to from St. Louis, the parking lot is well lit, the drinks are not overly expensive for a strip club, and the inside is rather nice. But, what I go for is the quality of the girls and there were only about 4 or 5 below average girls at 11 PM and the ones I interacted with had a serious attitude. When I go to clubs, I generally like to watch an entire rotation of the dancers to see if any of them are worthy of a private dance. I prefer to do this without any pressure from the dancers. But I had only been there for a few minutes when a dancer I had no interest in sat next to me and started a discussion. I politely told her I wasn't interested in a dance with her but she woudn't leave. After a few minutes of polite but uneasy conversation, I started to give her short answers to her questions and didn't initiate any conversation with her. After a few minutes of that, she called me and asshole and got up and left. I guess I accomplished what I wanted, but didn't like being treated like that. I was ready to leave after that experiance, but I hadn't finished my beer yet. Unfortunately, a few minutes after that, another dancer sat by me and it was basically the same experience. Again I told her I wasn't interested in a dance with her, but she wouldn't leave. After a few minutes of this, I finished my beer and had seen enough of the dancers to know there were none of them I was going to spend my money on, so I got up and left. I told my friend about my experience and he was surprised. Granted the only time he's been is on the weekend so maybe the quality of girls is better then on a Thursday night when I was there. I don't have any information on the cost of private, VIP, etc. since I never had those discussions, but I assume the prices are in line with other ESL clubs. I would probably give them another shot because I have heard good things about them, but I would definitely have a backup plan.
