Fewer chairs, but still typical hit or miss Cricket.

I arrived just before midnight. Upon entering the door guy said a mask was required while not drinking and asked a couple of basic health screening questions. Cover was $5, beers were $4.

Other than many fewer chairs around the bar, stage, and tables, not much has seemed to change with the reopening. There were only 3 dancers. Ruby (white girl, a solid Pittsburgh 7, average height/build, hair colored reddish, crooked teeth, some baby damage, but still cute) and 2 mixed girls. The first of the others was thin and athletic. the second was very curvy and big framed, but not fat, she carried it well. This is first time I’ve seen these two so I didn’t catch their names. Ruby has been here ,and at Erotica as Scarlett, for quite a while.

I only stayed for 2 beers, and tipped at the stage a few times, overall about 20 minutes. I would have been down for some dances with Ruby, but she was in-demand after her set by people throwing around a lot more stage money than me. Overall I’d say there were maybe 10 customers there with most at the stage and very few just hanging at the bar. That’s a reversal from how it typically is here.

Getting a dance didn’t seem like a guarantee so I decided to leave so I could get to Cheerleaders before it was too late. The dancer/customer ratio has always been all over the place here. Some times it’s like tonight, others I’ll walk in as the second customer with 6-8 girls circling the water trying to catch a dance.

Also, the TVs were off, probably because of the state’s rules against having “entertainment”. However that directive hasn’t put as stop to stage and lap dances. I’m curious if the LCB might crack down on this.
