Decent option if you’re downtown

I had a couple nights in Chicago, but unfortunately they were a Sunday and Monday so polekatz and deja vu were both closed. We’ve got a few dancers on the forum from those clubs and had they been open, I would’ve tried to meet up.

Rick’s is open Sunday and Monday so I *opted* to go here. It was a short $12-15 Uber from my downtown hotel. Door security is well staffed and upon entering, there is a counter to the left where they’ll collect a $20 cover. They also force you to check your jacket. The weather was decent while I was there so I only had a very light jacket, not much more than a half zip, but they made me check it. Only a big deal if you use your jacket pockets to carry your stuff. There’s no charge to check the jacket, you just tip a few bucks if you want when you leave.

The club has been described before. It’s nice. Center stage where two girls will dance at a time. Stage work is pretty good though not all of the girls will remove their tops. There’s an ok amount of stage tipping but it’s moderate enough that if you want to get a girl’s attention you can tip her on stage and it should do the trick. Bar is along the wall, running parallel to the stage and pretty long. My beers were I think $7 as I was tipping $3 and I think usually left me with ten singles from my $20.
