Laid-back bar with tits, contact dances, mediocre talent

Club Bristol is one of a couple of clubs within reasonable distance from Madison (down from three now that Visions downtown has closed). It's 20-30 minutes north, depending on what part of Madison you're starting in, and a drive a few miles down a country road after you get off the highway. It's easy to get to, but feels remote, and sits on the intersection of a couple of roads. There's a decent amount of parking around the building's corner lot.

I visited twice, once on a Friday afternoon and then on a Saturday night. Oddly it was busier during the afternoon. The lot around 2pm was full and cars were parking on the roadside. Inside was busy, but not packed. On Saturday around 10:45pm there were a few spots open and inside was noticeably quieter. No cover in the afternoon, or anyone at the door. For Saturday night, there was a $7 cover, an ID check, and the metal detector was on.

The club is dim inside, with a low ceiling. There's a J-shaped bar with high chairs and one small TV behind it. Across from the long side is a floor-height stage with a low wall and padded metal chairs around it. There are a couple of tall/standing tables with no chairs and then along a wall are four or five upholstered seats. A bottle of water was $4.
