Very slow to start on a mostly dead Tuesday night

This place supposedly opens at 8pm weekdays. I arrived at 9pm and was the only customer. There were no dancers to be seen, but the doorman assured me they would get started soon as he collected my $8 cover. I sat for at least 15 minutes before one dancer sat beside me at the bar and made a bit of conversation. Still no one on stage.

Finally after about 9:30 two more dancers appeared, but the hung out at the bar - one absorbed in her smartphone and the other talking with the bartender. BTW - my Coors Light bottle was $8.

During my wait a couple of other customers arrived, but the first one took one of the dancers back for a private dance. Once the second guy showed up the DJ went to the booth and called up the first dancer about 9:40.
