Baltimore back from the dead

My first visit to the Ritz, I had previously avoided it because there is no dedicated parking and I didn't feel like driving around looking for street parking in Fell's Point. It was a summer-like night in May, so just parked in a garage a few blocks away and walked over. With Covid restrictions being lifted, the city really seemed alive again this night. I did have to wear my mask going in, but that was about it, once you're drinking they're off. It's a fairly upscale club, more like the Hustler Club than the other Block clubs. The stage show is pretty crazy. It's full nude, and very interactive since there is a row of seats right at the stage. The stage is long and narrow, with a pole at each end so after about 9:30 or 10 there were two girls at a time, and there is a ton of tipping going on, and a few party boys who were having a lot of fun with the dancers. I was surprised that they let some of the customers get handsy with the girls on stage, pretty unusual.

There was no tip-walk after the stage dance, I guess they make enough sweeping up the floor on stage. The music was too loud for my taste, hard to have a conversation sometimes.

I saw a few couples, and there were a few parties going on. The girls were interacting quite a bit with the party groups, I don't know if they were paying for this or it's just club's approach or what, but lots of twerking, dancing and grinding going on. There is an upstairs area with some couches for groups, and it overlooks the stage so you can make it rain from above. There is a VIP lounge/bar up there also, and some lapdance booths and rooms.

I saw black, white, and asian girls, and a variety of sizes. Although none of the thin, toned model type bodies that I go for. Although there was one dancer named Brooklyn that was pretty amazingly built. I was approached by a number of girls throughout the night, they're pretty friendly, but after a little chatting will try to sell you on dances. Dances are $30 per, paid upfront, and I think a 15 min. room is $200. One girl told me they were $40, which I let her get away with because she was hot and I was in a generous mood, and I wanted to get her best dancing. Dances are topless, good contact and touching allowed within limits.

I saw one guy get frog marched out of the club, don't know what his infraction was, but it was pretty amusing.
