Getting closer to normal

It’s been about 8 months or so since I was last here, so I thought I’d check out Hollywood again. CT restrictions have gradually been loosening up, and all restrictions but masks (I believe) are set to go away on May 19th.I arrived a little after 8 pm on Saturday and the club was already pretty busy. The layout is about the same, but the covid differences are still there. You walk in and go up the stairs to the bouncer. There is still a plexiglass shield in front of the bouncer’s booth. They still scan your license and they also scan your forehead with an infrared thermometer. Cover was $10, which included a ticket that got you a free food item (hot dog, personal pizza, chicken tenders, fries, or mozzarella sticks I believe).You have to keep your mask on if you were moving around the place, but could remove it when you were at your seat. The bouncer has someone seat everyone that comes in. That’s your assigned spot while you’re there. They have small high top tables with chairs, low tables with plush seats, or couches with plexiglass partitions for groups.

There is a round stage in the middle of the room that is enclosed by a plexiglass barrier. There is a gap at the bottom for tips, and you can still sit around the stage. One of the dancers told me it’s still hot as hell up there because most of the airflow is cut off and they don’t turn the ac up. The normal lap dance area on the left wall, but is still closed. I was told it will open up again on the 19th. The VIP room just past that in the hallway on the left. Bathrooms are in the back left, and there’s no troll. The bar is along the back wall. It too had a plexiglass barrier with room underneath to pass drinks. I had a rum and coke at $6. There is also an area after you walk in on the right that is usually used for group parties (bachelor party, etc), with the DJ booth just after that.

I watched the stage show for a bit and tipped a couple of the girls. There were 12 girls on tonight mostly white and Hispanic. There was a Hispanic girl on stage when I got there. DDs, nice ass, and she had a light up butt plug that changed colors. Another girl that I saw walking around was white, heavily tattooed, B cups. She is very memorable for the fact that she has an octopus tattoo that extends outwards from her asshole. Not my type, but she’s always been friendly. One girl came over and sat with me and I bought her a drink. $8.50 tequila shot with redbull. I do not remember her name, but she was Hispanic about 5’7”, with nice B cups, long black hair which was upon a big wound up ponytail. She told me about how dances currently worked. $25 dances were done in the open party area to that I mentioned earlier. They’re basically air dances with a little one way touching. VIPs are now available and there’s 2 way touching. Mileage will vary with the dancer. VIP from this dancer was quoted at $150/15 mins. In the past, I’ve had dancers offer vip for as low as $120. I didn’t shop around as it was busy and I wasn’t going to spend $25/dance on air dances to see who I might want to take into the VIP. I went for the $150/15 with the dancer that initially approached me. Plenty of two way touching and my hands were encouraged to roam, though not to the kitty. I ended up leaving happy after the 15 minutes. Hollywood is back close to what it was before covid. I’ll stop back again after the 19th to see if it’s fully back.
