Visited: Thursday Evening

My first visit since most restrictions were lifted and it seems that things are almost back to normal here. There are no masks, no temperature checks, no bar or liquor restrictions and big clouds of smoke drifting around everywhere. They have always allowed smoking but with the place nearly empty for a year some smoke cleared. While drink prices are about the same, dancers are asking for more, almost all were looking for $40 a song and it was difficult to negotiate anything less. One offered 2 for 60. Dances are pretty similar to before covid but, as before, vary by dancer. Some are very friendly while others believe in social distance. There was no interference from bouncers. Maybe I'll try some time in the afternoon since better prices were available from day shift girls before the virus hit. Plus, happy hour is 4 to 8 and drink prices are almost half off. Now that this is about the only game in town we may be stuck with high prices.

It was Thursday night and it seemed kind of slow. There were about 15 dancers working. It appears that this is still a late night place with some dancers showing up at about 10 pm. Weekend late nights it can get real crowded but that includes the young ones that think partying at a strip club is cool. They just started an amateur contest every Wednesday so maybe they'll get more dancers soon.

For anyone that hasn't visited here's a general description. Except for the smoke it's a nice facility. The place is in a large rectangular, warehouse type building with two stages in the middle, the bar and restrooms at one end with the champagne rooms above them, a raised seating area with tables just to the side of the entrance and the couch area along the opposite wall. Tables are spaced around the stages and in the raised area. The dance area is in something like a long hallway with upholstered benches on each side. There are little dividers to separate seating areas so that you don't see the guy next to you but you could be directly across from another guy. It usually doesn't get crowded back there but if it did you would tangle feet with the guy sitting across from you and dancers would be bumping into each other.
