Visited: Saturday Afternoon

TL;DR: Not a great visit, didn't get what I wanted.

Went back for the second time ever to see if it would be as good as the first. Got there at 12:30PM on Saturday, no cover to get in. The parking lot was about half full, and the guy at the front entrance was as cool as ever. The ambience was chill and sensual, and there were already about 12 customers split up between the two bars (there were 20+ customers about 40 minutes later, so it got pretty busy). The bar further away from the entrance was packed with middle-to-senior-aged men and I think two dancers socializing with their regulars, while the other only had two older men and one young dude. I got a red bull for $6, then a water for $5. There wasn't more than a single person sitting at the stage at any point. I sat at the bar for a while to people-watch and to see if the primary girl I wanted to see again was there. She was not, so I figured it would be a good time to meet someone new. I decided to just sit and look around until I saw a dancer that I wanted to talk to. No one bothers you for just sitting at the bar sipping away at your drink, so it's relaxing. You can also get a free lunch with your drink -- this time it was chicken alfredo. There were some stunning girls walking around with a fair amount of ethnic diversity. They were mostly white, but there were a couple of black, latina, and southeast Asian dancers of all different shapes and sizes.

 

I saw I think 6 girls take to the stage, each one dancing for about 3 songs, and all but one going topless during the second song. Shoutout to Josie and Mya who were really a cut above the rest with their pole skills and have a great overall stage presence. The skills of the other 4 were pretty average at best, to boring at worst. After they finish, each dancer goes backstage to re-dress before coming back out. Desire is definitely a regulars' club, where the girls come out from backstage and typically go directly to continue chatting with their regulars. I think it's because of the large amount of regulars that most dancers don't seem to approach random customers at the bar, although it does happen. A couple of the dancers stand or sit b chatting with each other by the half-wall in front of the entrance. I didn't approach any of them, but one older biker-style guy approached Mya there and it seemed like she kind of just ignored him, but I was too far to get a true read of what was happening.
