An earlier review title says it well: Classy joint, mostly hot dancers

Report on 3-4 weekday afternoon visits and one evening visit, all during the last 5-6 weeks:

For DC, this is a pretty good club. It is almost always quiet in the afternoons – a handful of customers and 3 or 4 dancers. The dancers are generally attractive, lively and (mostly) good a pole work. The circular stages are small but the poles are tall, particularly upstairs. Dancers interact pleasantly with the customers; conversations are often pleasant and lately none of the dancers seem like they want to be somewhere else (although I’m sure they sometimes do.)

I decided to check out Mpire again one afternoon. I am always surprised by three things when I visit Mpire: how high-class the club is, how clean the men’s room is and how good the lighting is. It’s better than any SC I’ve ever visited.

The place looks nice, everything still looks new, high class decorations, bar stools, bar, nice, and a well-cleaned bathroom. It's a great small SC setup with stages at the bar, good lighting, nice sound system make for a really nice SC, right?
