Been Over a Decade, more Fun than I remember!

Arrived this past Saturday around 7:30pm. The Club is right next to a pot dispensary so the parking lot for the area was pretty full, its also in a rather sketchy part of an industrial area not far from East St. Louis. While I personally didn't feel unsafe it also isn't an area I would go walking around in, driving there was fine however. When I entered I was greeted by an older gentleman at a front desk area with a metal detector to my left. Illinois and this area in particular is still under a mask mandate for clubs and restaurants so he wouldn't let me in unless I had one and they were charging 4 bucks for one of theirs, I went back out to my vehicle and grabbed one of my own and returned. There was an $11 dollar cover to get in the club, I had to remove anything metallic from my pockets as well as my cellphone then proceed through the metal detector picking my my things once through.

Once into the club proper, the bar is in a slight "L" shape and is the first thing you walk into once through the entrance foyer. There is a single main stage in a lower recessed area in the center of the club with seating for about 20 people around it. just to the right of the bar there is a row of seating leading around and behind the stage with tables to relax at. Behind this area and also to the right of the bar there is more seating in an elevated area where you can sit, relax and see basically the whole club. far to the right of the club is a "Members only" exclusive area behind a large Oak door, I do not have any details about this area only that it is separate from the private dance area. Stright back from the bar and along the back wall is where the barely viable DJ booth is along with the entry area to the private dances. The decor has not changed much since I was last there over 10 years ago, but it didn't feel dingy or outdated either, it was comfortable.

I approached the bar and there was only one bartender working who was also tending to customers out in the table area. This poor gal was working her butt off but she was very friendly. I very patiently waited for her to take my drink order, while waiting I felt a touch on my arm and I turn to see a petite, perky, and cute latino girl named Maria. She introduced her self with a very familiar hand shake and I gladly returned it in kind. We chatted for a bit, Maria told me that they are short staffed tonight due to the weather and covid but they still had 5 very attractive women working. Not sure if they coordinated on purpose but all of the girls were wearing white dresses and they all looked great! Maria asked if she could join me after I get a drink and I said sure. We chitchatted for about 5 minutes before the attendant finally got to me. I ordered a 7&7 which was 8 bucks, I got a Redbull for Maria and tipped the rest to the server, that gal was earning it, she was working hard.
