First time was a real charm

This place was definitely not what I expected. I’ve been to other clubs in somewhat shady areas of various cities, but this one is totally unique. The neighborhood is not as bad as some would make it out to be.. it’s typical west Philly and nothing like some of the more dangerous areas of north Philly. Parking is on the street, but I didn’t have a problem finding a spot close by. I went in late afternoon, maybe around 4-5 and found out it’s only open until the evening. $10 cover to get it, paid to the big ass bouncer outside who was hanging and chatting with some other dudes. Walking in, I was floored. It’s not a club at all but more like a speakeasy. Downstairs was a long thin bar with some stools. I didnt stay but headed upstairs to a single open room. Long wooden bench on one side, small stage in the middle and bar with about 7 stools at the end. Janitor closet that functions as VIP room just past the bar. No one on stage when I got there or at any time during my one hour stay. Three girls upstairs when I walked in, grew to six or so pretty quickly. The atmosphere was super relaxed. Juke box plays mostly rap for a buck a song. Patrons all ponied up and kept the music going. I ordered a beer and just hung out for a bit chatting with a couple dudes at the bar. I noticed the girls would hang out at the bar and grind hard on anyone sitting there. I had my eye on one that was otherwise occupied, but clearly giving a high level of service. And then one girl approached and said hello. She was wearing a ridiculously undersized bikini and her nipples were hanging out. That was enough to get me interested. She suggested ‘a dance’ and that we move over to the wooden bench, presumably because it had more room. I said sure and walked over. She didn’t ask for any money which I though was weird but assumed I’d pay whenever we stopped. I took a seat and she did a great job with her booty and also plenty of otc hands. All out in the open, which seems to be the MO here. After only one song she suggested a VIP which is $20 paid to the bartender. The VIP room is totally private with a closed door. Once inside she said $100 donation. A good time was had by all. This place is a riot and I’ll definitely be back. YMMV but I think experienced goers will have no problem.
