Visited: Thursday Evening

So I was I the area finishing dinner and decided to try out the Lumber Yard for a few hours before meeting a friend for the KU game at a different bar. I got there around 630 and stayed til 830. Cover was 10. Girl at the window really pushes for tips. Its BYOB so I stopped first at a nearby gas station for some beer. Over the 2ish hours I was there I counted about 5 maybe 6 girls working. Most of them fit the Thic and curvy body type. Not chubby mind you. Sexy lots of curves but not even close to petite. Lap dances are 30. ViP is 15 for 150 30 for 250 and 1 hour for I think 500. I did not partake. I was there mostly to sit at the rail and tip. The girls were friendly and gave appreciation on stage for tips. Boobs in the face with light back scratching was common with 2 or 3 of the girls. One reached under my shirt while giving me a view of her crotch (legs on shoulders).

The place seems safe with security cameras in the parking lot and is well lit. The inside is very dark. Like if you drop your phone you might have to look for it kind of dark. Interior reminds me of a large open barn with a giant pit on 1 side. There is a main stage (center ish) that is not raised. There is a wooden railing that separates you from the dancers. The pit is where the lap dances and VIP are. There is also a smaller stage down there for busy nights. Chairs are comfy with ice buckets available for you to keep your brews cold. There are party seating sections in at least one of the corners with their own pole and mini stage. Bathroom was nothing special but clean.

There was about 7 to 12 customers I at any given time. Most sat in the back and the girls would shame them to come up to the rail to watch them dance and tip. One of the girls I talked to said it was the busiest evenings she'd seen in a while, but things would really pick up at 11 or so. The other notable thing was the music. If you told me they have a monkey up there picking random songs I would belive it. They played stuff from 90s rock/pop to grunge to 00s rap to 10s RnB Pop. There was even a song that mostly featured bagpipes. I looked at the dancer and we both were like WTF.
