Consistently entertaining

The Washington Park Hustler club provides a consistently good experience. It's an easy 10-15 minutes from downtown St. Louis, just off the highway (and close to both Miss Kitty's and Scarlet's). They have a large, well-lit parking lot, with overflow parking across the street. Cover was $20.

The club is brightly lit, with a large stage on one side, a bar with seating surrounding it in the middle, and a small caged stage on the other end. It has a decent number of tables and worn upholstered chairs. Most of the club is in good shape and nicely appointed, but the chairs are old and could use replacing. On Tuesdays they have $2 drink night, and everything is just $2. On other nights water is $5. I haven't bought other drinks in a while, but I don't remember them being outrageous.

This club has maybe the best stage show of any of the fair number of clubs I've been to. All of the dancers actually perform, and some of them are very entertaining. They combine posing and such with some truly impressive pole work. Tips result in attention varying from up-close views to some light petting. The stage can be seen from most seats in the club.
