Watch Your Speed

If you’re a regular here, you might want to skip this review, but see the warning in the last paragraph.

After a brief visit to Henry VIII, I headed to Bogart’s and used the pass I got at H8 that let me skip the $5 cover. Visited on a Monday from 2:30-3:45 pm. Free parking, no security or ID check; bottled water (my drink of choice) was $10 at the bar. Seating is available at the bar and at tables scattered around the room. There was a DJ who announced the next dancer, but was otherwise unobtrusive. The music I heard was an eclectic mix of rock, rap, metal and country.

I counted one bar and three stages, all with poles. While I was there, two stages were in use and had dancers on stage continuously. There were about 8 dancers – three Black and the rest white. Dances are done in individual private rooms; I’m not sure how many there are or if they are of different sizes, but the one I was in had more than enough space. There is a one-time $10 charge for a wristband that gives you all-day/night access to the lap dance rooms. Like H8, they have $10 dances all day one day a week (H8 is Monday, Bogart’s is Tuesday); regular nude dances are $20 per song.
