Small fun dive strip bar off of the beaten path

Ok. Real talk here. I am going to bring up something I haven't seen on any of the reviews here so far. While this place is smack dab in a town, getting here involves driving through rural New Jersey with trees and deer and all of that other crap. Seriously. I was staying near Trenton and ventured out and it was 45 minutes of driving in the sticks.

Back to the place however - I finally got back to NJ since pre-pandemic and was looking to venture out from old reliable (PH). Did my obligatory research and settled on Delilah's in Manville. I went to the one in Tom's River nearly 20 years ago and had a pretty good time. The bar is tucked away in a side street in a small NJ town. Like seriously. Thing is practically right off the main drag.

I got there after 10 on a Wednesday night. Not prime time but I did check out Instagram - there were supposed to be 8 dancers there that night. I walked in, paid the cover, got my water and sat down. Insert sad trombone sound - 5 dancers called in sick. Only 3 were working - Jessica, a small spinner (an 8) and a very overweight dancer (a 3). I sat to watch the dances and tried to determine who to get a dance with - Jessica who is attractive on instagram.
