The times, they are a changin'

This was my first trip back to BE since well before Covid, and I was hoping it would continue to be a great place when I stopped in the week before Christmas. Unfortunately, there have been some changes, and overall I did not have a great time like I used to.

The décor of the club has not changed - it is a large open room, decorated primarily in red, with two stages, some booths (roped off for VIP/bottle service) and some cafe tables on the floor. Of the two stages, the one you would think is the "main" stage, a large rectangular stage with dressing room access and two poles, was not used. The other stage, a round stage with a pole in the middle and a few stools at the rail, was the only one in use. There are three lap dance areas, based on price tier.

I arrived about 10:30 on Tuesday evening. Cover charge was $20. (You are no longer able to get a coupon sent to you by text for free entry.) There is also a one-drink minimum (non-alcoholic). I believe I paid $6.25 for a Sprite. There is a mandatory valet for parking, but I used a rideshare to get there, so I don't know the fee.
