Obligatory club info for newbies and out of towners, regulars can skip the first long paragraph (mostly copied from my earlier review, not much changed): this is one of the more popular clubs in Seattle though it looks more like a dive bar. I think they are trying to clean it up. The restroom is definitely improved (it's in the back of the club to the left, you have to walk through a half-wall labyrinth next to the Lap Dance Area (LDA, aka Playground) to get to it). Don't expect super nice ambience anyway. Admission is typically $15 day/$20 night ($10 happy hour, I think 5-7pm? correct me if I'm wrong) including a mandatory soft drink purchase. They have two smallish stages, but normally only use one. Girls do one or two songs on stage. Hardly anyone is there for the stage shows. Most guys come for private dances. There are a couple of private dance areas now. One (LDA, aka Playground, aka former "VIP area" which is confusing now with private rooms that Pandora also calls "VIP rooms" sometimes) is filled with oversized high back chairs in the back of the club, more or less in the open (though reasonable degree of privacy is possible). But now they also have private "VIP rooms" (tiny booths) with curtains that provide more privacy. If you want to use a VIP/private room it's not per dance but timed 15min/30min/1hr. You pay "rent" to the club and pre-agreed amount to the girl. Club fee is now up to $70/15 minutes and up from there (half off during happy hour, 5pm-7pm I believe). Girls charge whatever they want depending on what kind of dances they do. Crazy ones want $500/15 minutes or more. Reasonable ones $200-$300/15 minutes. Anything in-between, and possibly (rarely?) above and below those amounts. Pro Tip: you don't *have to* buy a VIP/private room for anything. Many girls will do *any* kind of dance in LDA. Some will *insist* on VIP though. It all depends on the girl. No alcohol in the club (per WA state law I believe), sodas about $5. Quantity and quality of dancers varies greatly. Quality of dances and mileage varies greatly as well. Dances in LDA are typically $40/dance or 3/$100. Possible to get $30/dance. At least one (Entice) will do $20/dance but only for the first dance while she's trying to upsell you to VIP (but still a good dance). Mileage is *typically* better during the day, but dancer quality and quantity is *typically* better at night. They do have their own parking lot, with parking being plentiful during the day and scarce only Friday/Saturday nights. Someone asked about "music" before (seriously? who gives a shit), I guess it's typical strip club music. Nothing remarkable. That's the best I can describe it.

 

This time I was there around 9pm, which is rare for me. Normally I'm a day time visitor, but figured I'd pop in at night to see if there is more eye candy. The selection wasn't too great this visit. There were only two chicks that I found attractive enough to drop cash on and was OK with getting just dances for my money ($40/dance or 3/$100).

 

MAVERICK was the first one. She used to go by Lilith and I used to follow her on Insta, until she posted some hateful sounding shit about how she's tired of "bolding potbellied middle-aged men that delude themselves thinking she'd actually want to have a conversation with them without them constantly dropping cash on her" or something to that effect. It wasn't directed at me (I never messaged her), and not sure what precipitated that, but seeing what a fucking cunt she is I unfollowed her and decided not to try her in the club. However little Dickie wants what little Dickie wants, and when I saw her on stage (after a few fairly unattractive to me dancers), he perked up and decided that we are spending money on her anyway, regardless of what a nasty rude cunt she is (and no, I don't use that insult lightly, lol, you should've seen that hateful fucking message she posted on Insta). Anyway, she is a brunette spinner with banging body, small natural tits (I'm fine with that on spinners), and cool pole moves. She put on a good stage show and I tipped her. She came over and was all fake sweet and buttery, master of SS. Offered standard 1/$40 or 3/$100. Went to the Playground (LDA), waited till the next song (good) and she gave me a nice dance. She deserves an Oscar as the bitch personality wasn't anywhere to be seen, and she kept telling me how she enjoys dancing for me, what an attractive guy I am, blah blah blah all the standard stripper shit. The contact was pretty good, and she knows how to lap, but her top never came off and her little natural titties never made an appearance. After the first song she asked me if I wanted another dance, and I straight out asked her if the girls were going to make an appearance or if she's gonna keep hiding them. She said "she'd have to charge more for that"... Huh? Pass. One of only two dancers in Pandora I've encountered that tried to upsell to topless (normally the top comes of during the lap dances). Told her to get lost (nicely). Didn't regret taking her for a spin but wouldn't try that major GPS again.
