Pay to Tip

I started coming to this club a couple of weeks ago because one of my favorite dancers started to work there. I avoided this club for several years because of its reputation for price gouging. ($200 cover charge during Covid). My first visit was fine but this week, they instituted a “pay for tips” scheme that just just brought back the gouging reputation and has turned me off.

I’m not a VIP room fan so I only go to clubs to talk to a favorite dancer. I think other people have discussed the high costs of the VIP rooms, which is where the price gouging comes in now. I’m happy to spend generously in tips to sit with a favorite dancer, which I’m sure some people think is foolish, but that is the sad state of affairs in DC clubs.

As for description, it is a rather small pasties club with two stages and the tables are so crowded together that you can’t really walk around easily even though on the outside it seems like a big club. The decor is nice with modern lighting, but it is too dark.
