Remembering What Was, Accepting What Is

The fundamental things I liked about this club are still there. Full nude stage dances. Pussy inches away while stage tipping on women you actually want to have that close to you. $30 hands on lap dances with topless women trying to grind your crotch off. But the club is still empty on weeknights (used to be crowded most nights) and the energy around the club just doesn't really spark like it used to. There's still life in the place because the girls do put in work on their stage routines, but even on good nights the club is a shell of its peak years. Players Club had dancer continuity for a long time, and I think a lot of the regulars back then (me included) just took it for granted. A few years back when the wall between the dance booths and the main club hit its low water mark that was an issue, but really the issue was that the girls who were left just weren't as fun as the prior generation of dancers. Excape's glory days a little more north on Rt. 40 ended with a county crackdown and police raid, which I may have seen with my own eyes but "everything on this site should be considered a work of fiction". This club's decline has been much more gradual over a period of years. Plus the turnover at this club has been like Night Shift used to be back when that club was good. I haven't done a full review on this place in years, so here goes.

Getting There, Getting In

So I went on a couple of nights in the same week, but not on a Monday or a Tuesday night because it's now closed on both instead of just Monday. The road this club is on intersects with a major city road (Pulaski Hwy, Rt. 40), so there are liquor stores open if you continue driving up Rt. 40 away from downtown. The club is still BYOB, and you can bring beer or liquor no problem. Think there's a liquor store on the other side of the Dunkin' Donuts on the corner that used to be a Royal Farms, but I have yet to see it open when I drive by at night. They have red cups at the bar you can use with mixers. I take my own mixers so can't remember if the juice bar has anything back there for customers anymore. Suggest you just bring your own. When I go now the liquor is mostly for the dancers anyway, so a bottle of something name brand and some juice is probably good and they can mix what they want. The current lineup doesn't really seem to drink like the old crew, but they will still join you for a drink and keep you company. Think of it like BYOB bottle service.
