Much more crowded and no fun

First visit since reopening in early February. 20 cover charge, valet is 10, beer 8. This review isn't focused on seeing so and so and getting x for y but rather commenting on an early evening experience unlike others I've had when they were open regular hours. Hopefully this will help the out of towners visiting or someone who hasn't been there since hours were shortened. As of late march, 11pm close.

I usually visit around 7 or 8 on a Friday and leave by 11pm in pre covid days. Never terribly busy and I'd get a few visitors or tip a few and they'd stop by. Never left without at least one trip to vip. I guess the early close is bringing the late night crowd in early. I've never seen so many sports jerseys and backwards ballcaps. Guys were dumping piles of money on dancers on stage. Loud, rowdy, like a frat party. Based on the bags of cash they carried off stage, the 200 I would have offered for a trip to vip wouldn't have received a second thought. I usually feel at home here and really like this place but felt really out of place that Friday evening and the first time no one ever stopped by to try and get me to go back. I tipped several and invited them to sit down after their set but they all went back to and stayed with their groups. There was a mix of petite girls, some bigger ones, and tattooed, 75% white 25% AA.

Turned out to be the least money I ever spent, cover, beers, valet, that's it. Point of this review is that if you want to avoid the late night crowd forced to come in earlier because of covid restrictions, probably better to stick to days and during the week until regular hours are restored. Ive been there on days and plenty of elbow room. Maybe 8 or so dancers to choose from.
