Pleasantly surprised

Location: it's in a tucked away spot across from a big business building and a school. The other streets are regular houses. I like afternoon/early evening spots so this fits the bill and since it's early the neighborhood isn't sketch. Not that the area is any worse than others, it's a neighborhood spot philly so you have to be careful once the sun goes down.

Description: typical brick front building, ring the bell to the left of the door to get buzzed in. Walk down a hallway, quick pat down and pay the cover $10 (they just went back up to $12). As soon as you come around the corner you are at the stage, there's a bar and seating to your left and another bar and seating up a couple steps to your right. Only the bar on the left is open during the early evening, the area to the right is used more for lap dances (cost $10/song) and there's no private room so all dances are done in the open. The bathroom is straight to the back. Majority of the dancers are black with a couple of Latinas.

My experience: my first visit to the pic in years came during the pandemic since options were limited. I got there around 5 and to my surprise is was $3 drinks for the day. There was an open seat towards the end of the bar. The bartender was friendly and was able to order fast. The drinks are electronically measured. Seemed like most girls were either talking to regulars or eating which was fine because I got a chance to settle in and have a couple drinks. I made small talk with a few girls and out of nowhere I look up and there's a girl on stage with a butt plug in. I've been to many strip clubs but this was a first, then there was another girl with a butt plug... they had my attention now. A couple more drinks and I'm able to get a hold of one of the ones that had my attention, she introduced herself as barbie, short skinny brownskin with colorful hair. We talk for a second and then go to the other side for a few lap dances. Standard dances, good contact, and your hands are free to roam to most places. She moved her g-string to the side so I could get a good view of her plug. Once done I go and sit back at the bar. Was greeted by a few more girls, tipped most a couple dollars but the dollar parade here is not bad at all. Most girls don't use the handshake greeting. One did and hinted that a lap dance from her would be worth my while but she was real pushy and I got bad vibes so I declined. I got a dance from another girl can't remember her name but it was the same standard grind and hands were free to roam. Overall my first visit back was a pleasant surprise I had fun. Their was a wide range of girls there so you'll find something you like. Most of them range from 5-7 as far as looks. Nothing that knocks your socks off but decent enough to have fun with. All girls get topless on stage, some get fully naked. Dances are your typical dances with contact can't speak for extras but from my experience, if one girl offers it in the club, she's typically not the only one and there are a couple corners in there where it could be possible. Only thing that sucked is that smoking is allowed so you had some cigarette and cigar smokers so I left smelling like smoke since there's really no ventilation in there.

I've been back a handful of times since and on different days and it has been hit or miss. I think my first visit lasted 1.5hrs but I've had visits where I left after my first drink because it was slow and nothing there I liked.
