So, I finally made it to Follies after hearing the hype for a few years. Went around 7pm on a Sunday night for a friend's birthday. (I know. In strip clubs, that's pretty early, but it was for the birthday girl).
Spacing: The size of the club is quite smaller than I expected. It definitely looks bigger on the outside. Even at 7pm on a Sunday, you still kind of had to squeeze past other patrons of the club. We still managed to find two tables and some stage seating, so none of us had to stand.
Atmosphere: The music was fair. Your typical trap music, twerk music, and everything that is HOT on the radio....The Saints and Panthers were playing this night, so the TVs in the club showed the game and stayed on sports channels the remainder of the night....We also noticed that Follies is very dark. It was almost hard to really see the dancers and your surroundings.
Dancers: The dancers were nice. Conversed with our tables during and in-between songs. I'm not sure if we were there too early for the "better dancers", but unfortunately, we weren't impressed. The ladies were pretty and had nice outfits, but their bodies and dancing weren't anything special to make me say "I want a dance from her." Although most of the dancers are black, they have multiple races and nationalities for your enjoyment.
Price: Even at the time we went, the entry fee was $20 for both men and women, but of course, it goes up as time goes on. Ladies can not attend by themselves and must enter with a gentleman. Lap dances are $10.
Food: Members from our group ordered wings, chicken tenders, and fries. HIGHLY recommend. Food is A1!
Overall: I still enjoyed myself. I'll probably go again at a later time on a "poppin" night to see if it would be better. Oh, and the birthday girl had the time of her life. That's all that matters.
