A new club for me

I got here just after the club opened at 2pm. There were a couple of people drinking at the bar, and two dancers sitting with guys at the bar. I ordered a drink, and in a couple of minutes one of the dancers came over to say hi. She was a tall black lady with a nice body. We had a conversation and she told me how the club worked.

As you come into the club from the street, you enter a vestibule with the bar straight ahead and another room (empty) to the left. Off of the empty room is the kitchen and entrances to the restrooms. As you step up to the bar, there is another room to the right and behind you, parallel with the bar, where there are tables for patrons to sit, and presumably order food from the kitchen. Didn't see that happening. The bar is U-shaped and the stage is at the closed end of the bar, separated by a walkway that leads to a door, and steps to the upstairs.

Dances were available in two ways. In the room that is parallel to the bar, the dancer will pull a chair out from one of the tables and dance for you. The cost of this dance is $20, and you pay that to the dancer after the dance(s). Up the steps at the end of the bar, there is another larger room with private rooms off the hallway at the end. It looks like this large room is used at night - there is seating, a stage and a bar. The second kind of dance that I had took place in one of the private rooms. The cost for this dance is 2-$50 or 3-$70, payable to the bartender before you go upstairs. I asked the dancer about continuing once we got done upstairs, and was told I had to go back down to re-pay. I think the bartenders keep track of the number of songs they are up there.
