Finally open post COVID

With restaurants finally allowed to open for indoor seating in parts of the state was checking out websites to find most places still closed and other places not having updated their websites in a year or more.

Saw that this place was open and decided to check it out

Found the parking lot full and was met at the door by an ID check and forehead scan and a reminder that masks were recommended. Was relieved to see bartenders and most dancers wearing masks. The reality of drinking a beer through a mask had most customers going without masks. The barstools were spaced further apart and there was about 3-5 minutes of sanitizing the dance poles between performances.

Talent was typical for the venue with a few new faces. Envy and Natalie stood out but several new dancers also seemed friendly. There was some evidence of a “quarantine 10#” for a few of the dancers. The kitchen was open with a limited menu but seemed to go dark after 11 pm. The availability of simple handshakes (involving only hands) at barside was an encouraging sign of improving times at this neighborhood spot.

Dances did seem to be going on with private dances commanding 30 dollars each, which is a 10 dollar premium on the already overpriced air show. Did not partake but my friend had a big smile on his face after going back for a few dances.
