Its situated right at the end of a shopping....ish street and intersects right near residential apartments. Actually there's a park right across the street from it. A CHILDREN'S park (not sure how they got the permit for that) so something for you to know. It doesn't open until 10:30pm but the crowd doesn't come in until 12am. However there are PLENTY of women working the stage. However prepare to be disappointed when there aren't many women willing to work YOU!

To start with entrance, it is $20 entry and you will be patted down and requested to put whatever is in your pocket into a box. Like walking through airport security without the line....if your there early enough. I implore you to get there early enough or else you will be on line. They highly discourage going in and out but will allow you limitedly. I assume this is due to the infrequent number of times I saw police around the premise. After you enter, there's a long oblong stage surround by an oblong bar. It's dark in the club so it's hard to make out the color however it was a brown laminate bar top, with plush short backed black chairs. Several seats available and you will be served fairly quickly.Oh the left side of the bar if you go up a small flight of stairs, there is a separate quieter bar and also the bathroom. I don't know what the criteria is to use that bar since it's fairly empty except for one guy a few girls I saw there. The drink prices are quite costly, approximately $16 per drink irrelevant which drink it is. All served in a plastic container. There are several girls who both work the pole AND the the seats and I don't mean lap dances. The Hispanic women that work the poles are majority Hispanic and nearly ALL of them do NOT do dances. Or at least not for those who did not reserve a seat. They all hang out on the RIGHT side of the bar (right facing when you enter the building) and usually talk among themselves and are happy to take your dollars and let you get a rub on the good stuff. I did notice the ones who do NOT give lap dances happily gave them to some Hispanic gentlemen however but in their bar seats. He seemed to stay there for a while. And even had multiple women dance for him. Now I surmised there may be an explanation for this.

1) Those women who do not dance for you may only dance for those who reserve a space at the club (I was allowed to sit there until the reserved party came) thus these women were "exclusive". They did seem to hang around the reservation seats, possibly waiting for the arrival of the VIP folk.
