Visited: Thursday Evening

There are a few clubs in NJ that I couldn't recommend, but I visit anyways. This is one of them. My first 2 visits here were 10 years ago, back when they had no private booths. Id routinely walk in and leave within 5 minutes. I learned to have more patience after figuring out bottoms up and also had more patience figuring this place out as it was a speakeasy during COVID.

Anyways, I visited recently on a weekday and to my surprise it was a packed house. When I usually stopped by it was 15 girls and 4 guys. That night had to be 18 guys. The bar setup has been explain by many. Its weird to say the least. Kind of feels like you are going to a quinceanera or cheap wedding. Its railway car setup with tables and catering stations near the door, and 2 stripper poles, but they are rarely used. 12 out of the 15 women are late 40s or early 50s. They seem like the type to make most of their money on tips and newbies and I rarely see them take guys for dances. Then you have the girls the guys come for. Usually late 20s and early 30s Dominican or Brazilians. Unfortunately these girls are usually FOTB and dont know how to work the room. They also have little command of English so unfortunately they may sit next to the guy for 30 minutes. You could do a few things, hold your nuts and ask if shes free for a dance, wait it out, or just leave and go to plan B. The FOTB girls once you get them are fun in the back. Cost for entry is $20 per song and covered frank sinatra is in the low 100s.
