Not what it used to be

Went to the old fave early Friday evening, haven't been here in at least 3 years and definitely not since covid. Arrived after 5pm, several cars in the lot but no valet so I parked where most of the other cars were on the side & walked in.

Doorman checked ID and no other security screening, no cover (I found out why pretty soon) so I tipped him $5. Place is of course huge and still looks great inside. Went in there were several (5+) mongers sitting by themselves at tables in the large main room by the main stage, and a couple guys at the bar where I sat and got a $8.50 beer. One girl dancing on stage, she was pretty hot but also the only one I saw my first thirty minutes.

As soon as she finished her set she grabbed a monger from his table & went in back. It was at least twenty minutes before another girl came out to stage dance. Hot little Italian looking thing and it was like a bum rush to the stage to tip & talk to her, guys didn't even wait for her top to come down. And same thing, as soon as she was done she grabbed a guy from his table & went in back.
