sinclair's Review

I went to Centerfold at 21:45 on a Thursday night. The club is on the far east end of town. The building looks like some kind of warehouse. I looked through a window on the left side of the building and saw some classic pickup trucks stored inside. There was a $20 cover charge. My drivers license was scanned in some type of device, which seems to be the norm at Arkansas strip clubs. I was then wanded with a handheld metal detector. The club is BYOB. You can bring in beer, wine, or hard alcohol.

The inside consists of a large semi-circle stage with three poles on the left wall. The right wall has a bar that serves sodas and juices. The bartender introduces the dances on a microphone, and dancers pick out their music on a computer at the back of the bar. Private dances take place on couches hidden in the back right corner of the club. There is a hanging wall of thin tinsel blocking the private dance area from the rest of the club. Private dances are $20 for one song, $50 for three songs, and $100 for six songs. Lap dances are full contact: the dancers can touch you, and you can touch the dancers. I don’t think extras are possible, but you can definitely get high mileage lap dances here.

Dancers were mainly Caucasian and African American. About fourteen dancers were on shift on Thursday night. They ranged from a 1 to an 8 on my scale, but more often than not they skewed on the lower end of that range. Dancers do two song sets on stage, eventually getting topless. There is no contact at the stage. I was only able to tip dancers on their hips.
