Decent Dive. Not a Decent Club

My friends learned I've never been here so they decided to divert our Saturday night plans to come here. When they asked our bartender if he had heard of the Clermont Lounge he said "Yeah. It's where strippers go to die." So with that ringing endorsement we jumped in our Uber around 10:00.

The entrance is down a set of steps off the road. They had someone sitting outside collecting the $20 cover. One thing to note is this place is cash only (they do have an ATM). The place is small so even at 10:00 it was standing room only. When you walk in there is a big curved bar with a stage in the middle to your right. To the left is what looks like a dance floor, though it was not being used as one. In the back there are some tables and chairs where girls give dances. This place is more a bar that happens to have strippers than an actual strip club. A lot of the customers were women actually. A Miller Light was $7 and I think a Miller High Life was $4.

The place felt like a dirty dive bar. It's clear it has been around since before most of its customers were born. The ceiling has that popcorn stuff and you could see the dust caked on it. The bathrooms are covered in graffiti and the bar looks to be as worn out as the dancers too.
