Histitoric and timeless, sleazy through generations

Having never been to a club before and covid + working from home fostering a growing curiosity, I decided to check out the Pink Poodle in San Jose one Tuesday afternoon at like 8pm. The place itself is located in what seems to be an old and slightly industrial-ish part of San Jose, making me think that the Pink Poodle was an og spot. What I mean by this is that it seems to be one of the first and probably the longest running SC in SJ. It is right next to a sex shop and has a decent amount of parking that seems to be tight yet pretty protected. However, the fact that the place seems historic is matched with the inside that feels equally as old. You enter through a small curtain after paying the cover ($20 on a Tuesday night) to the bouncer. Immediately I was met with a plethora of red velvet seating and chairs surrounding 1 center stage with a tall pole in the middle being danced on and around by a beautiful fully naked dancer. It seemed to not be the most sanitary place, as although there were no obvious mess or anything, the chairs/couches seemed super worn out and musty. The crowd also leaned older but maybe thats just because it was a Tuesday. There is also a bar that serves fairly pricey non-alcoholic drinks (like 6/7$ for a redbull).

I picked a seat next to the stage to watch her finish her show. It seems each show cycles for 3 songs: one in bra + thong, one topless, one fully nude. I left to go to a couch seat while no girl was at the stage and after about 5 minutes I was approached by a fairly cute stripper. She sat next to me and we talked for a little and offered a dance but as I just barely got there I declined. She wasn't mad and just went on to the next potential customer. Overall, there seemed to be around 6 dancers, with more arriving and getting ready throughout my time there. They seemed pretty varied, both in age and looks. For the most part, the girls were fairly young, but 1-2 older women. One of whom was very aggressive in asking people if they wanted a dance by cutting right to the chase and asking straight up while putting her tits in my face. Another girl leaning on the older side of the spectrum came by and similarly asked right away by whispering in my ear which was super hot tbh. For the most part, they were all white with one black girl, one hispanic (?) and one that seemed very ambiguous. Imo many were absolutely stunning but mostly like 7/8s +-1.

Soon, another girl was onstage and was an absolute bomb shell. She was the racially ambigous one, and was super tall, small tits but phenomenal legs and ass with a little kiss tattoo on one cheek. I sat near the stage and tipped her maybe $10 during her dance, with another 1-2 people tipping as well. She was a great dancer and spread her legs right in front of me as I was tipping which was unexpected but I guess fairly normal based on other dances. The DJ was a little obnoxious and kept interrupting to tell people to tip. She approached me after her dance and smelled amazing. She sat next to me for a few minutes and we had some small talk, and then asked me if I wanted a dance. I actually took her up on the offer as there was a 2 for 1 deal for $40.
