First Timer at the DEN

Decided to take a random visit on a Thursday night (around midnight/1:00am) since I knew a girl working here from social media. Didn't know what to expect, but the venue is fairly small in my opinion. Parking lot is also a bit small and seems packed. When you enter you are immediately greeted with a thin hallway leading up to a front desk. Paid a $20 cover to some lady working the desk and also exchanged a few $20 bills for all singles. The venue is a bit small and has an elevated stage with two poles, and the DJ booth is located at the center/right side of the room. The stage has maybe 30-40 seats surrounding it on all sides for customers to sit/watch/tip the dancers. This area of the room also has a separate area for lap dances which will run you about $20-30. It's pretty much just a room with multiple chairs spread out for lap dances (multiple people can be in here at a time so not very private). The opposite side of the room from the stage has a pool table, more seating, and a hallway that leads to a VIP/private area. The overall vibe was cool: clean, dimmed lights, and fairly loud music with dancers either performing on stage or socializing with customers since there is no bar.

The girls were all white, black, and Hispanic that night. Pretty average-looking group of girls and definitely on the younger side (maybe 19-24) with 1 older woman (still good-looking though). I think because of the time that I arrived most of the girls were fairly tired, drunk, or high (or maybe a mix of all three) but were still friendly nonetheless. However, the venue was a bit dead with just me and a few other guys there until closing. Girls would perform in pairs and some had pretty cool pole tricks and moves. Some would obviously come right up in front of you on the stage while performing, shake their butt, or spread their legs for extra tips.

Ended up talking and doing a private dance with the girl I went there to see. The private dance was about $50 for 10-12 minutes. She ended up doing a nude lap dance for me which was pretty nice. It was my first time at a strip club so I didn't really know what to do with my hands haha. Mostly just sat, slapped/grabbed her butt a little, and enjoyed the show, but she said I could do anything to her except insert anything inside of her haha (plus there is a security camera there for the girl's safety). I think because this particular girl was a little drunk/high or maybe just tired it wasn't as enjoyable as I expected, but she danced/grind/talked with me the entire time. Tipped her a little extra since they work on tips apparently. A few other girls approached me for a lap dance but I just sat near the stage to watch and tip the other girls. Ended up doing one more regular dance with a Hispanic girl before they closed which was better in my opinion compared to the first girl. She was more engaged and talkative which I liked. The room cost $20-30 and I tipped her afterward as well (since they work on tips).
