How do I describe Ragtime? It is the most secluded hole in the wall that is truly a sad place posing as a strip club. When you drive up you pull into a driveway, you park in the back. This is good, but once you leave your car it is not really clear where the entrance is. The entrance is an unmarked door on the left side of the building when looking at the structure from the road. I walk in and it is dark, there is a square bar with a stage in the center and a single pole. When I look there is really no need for a pole because there are no dancers on stage or really anyone behind the bar at all. There is music playing but it is a generic playlist and it is not very loud which I actually appreciate because it does allow you to speak with someone without having to really raise your voice. Unfortunately there is no one to speak to; there is one other client and there is a "girl" sitting with him. He takes her to the back and I am left alone at the bar. I decide well let me use the bathroom, the bathroom is cramped but at least it is clean, but the paper towels dispenser is empty and there is no air dryer so I had to just shake my hands dry.

I go to the bar and the bartender who had been lying down on a couch near the bathrooms realizes I am there and gets up, she comes over and I order a beer which is $5. I hand her a $20 and she gives me a $10 and a $5 as change, this is so unusual, strip bars typically give you singles. This is an indication that there is no dollar parade whatsoever at this bar. As a matter of fact the entire time I am there no dancer ever attempts to go on stage or dance.

Eventually I am approached by the dancers. There are two women working as dancers, Maria is a 4 out of 10, her face is not pretty and she has the most exaggerated and artificial bolt on breasts I have ever seen. I personally hate man made breasts so that is why I rate her a 4, otherwise she would be a 5 out of 10. She asks me for a private dance but needless to say I decline. Luckily, the second dancer, Suzy, comes over and rescues me. Suzy appears to be in her early 40's and I can tell she used to be hot. She has large natural breasts, a great guitar shaped torso and one of the nicest butts I have ever seen on a non black girl. This is a classic sexy Brazilian body type. I buy her a drink for $10 and after a while I go for a dance. The LD is $20 and it is done in a cubby hole up two steps and down a hallway in the corner. The cubby hole is extremely dark and in all honesty I could not see the dancer at all so I did not enjoy it. Suzy was sexy but the dance was just average, still while in the dance she offered VIP. VIP was $50 to the house and she asks for $100 as a tip for herself. I told her I would think about it. I go order another drink and am once again approached by Maria. At this point I realize I have to escape from Maria so I tell her that I am waiting for Suzy who is now in the corner eating an entire bag of fries that appears to have come from a "kitchen", mind you I saw no menus or any indication that they serve any food but there does appear to be a kitchen. At this point another patron walks in and Maria goes to him. He immediately goes for a LD in the dark cubby hole and a few minutes later comes out looking extremely pleased. I realize that extras are probably available in the $20 lap dance area but in all honesty it is just so dark that I can't do that. I need to be able to see what is going on, although I understand why, with a face like Maria's, the dark may be a good thing. So now I call Suzy to come over and I ask her more about the VIP, as a cheap bastard that I am, I offer her $130 all in. I show her the money knowing what these gold diggers love, and sure enough she agrees. The VIP is a larger space with a couch and a lamp. There is a curtain in the entrance for privacy. I had a great time with Suzy. The service reminded me of my ATF from 10 years ago, Carol from Tropicana. Before I left, I asked her if she had ever worked there, she stated she never worked at Tropicana but she had worked at Blue Goose down the road. If you go back and read the old reviews from those long closed bars it will give you an idea of what to expect.
