sinclair's Review

I went to the 19th Hole Lounge at 21:00 on a Friday night. There was a $5 cover charge at the door, and I was wanded for weapons. The majority of the floor space is occupied by a large island bar. Inside the bar are two stages. There was no stage contact and no stage tipping other than an occasional "make it rain" customer trying to throw dollars six feet over the bar toward the stage. There are eight different beers on tap. I had Sincweisers at $6 per bottle. The ATM has a maximum withdrawal of $500. There is a ten percent fee per transaction. There are a couple pool tables in the rear. Private dances take place in a walk-in closet on the right just past the entrance.

The 19th Hole's dancer line-up was seventy-five percent African-American. I counted nineteen or twenty dancers working. Dancers seemed to mostly fall into one of three groups: (1) young spinners, (2) dancers with average bodies that might be attractive after six beers, and (3) obese and shouldn’t have been dancing. There were two dancers performing at the same time inside of the bar. They start on the front stage for one song, and then they move to the back stage for a second song. Dancers do a tip parade around the room after they are finished on stage. Some dancers are not satisfied with just a dollar tip and will goad you to give them at least two dollars before they move along.
