Friday night good time

Friday late evening visit, plenty of reviews that discuss the layout which hasn't changed since the remodel years ago from the old Club Ed. There was a $20 cover as they had some porn star "feature dancing" - we arrived around 9 and she had yet to take the stage when we left just after midnight. All the tables between the bar and the stage on the first floor were labeled as reserved, you had to buy bottle service (a bottle) to get one. Honestly, for a couple of guys, a full bottle at $200 isn't a bad deal, although their regular drinks aren't unreasonably priced either - two call brand liquor and soda drinks was under $20 before tip.

There were a lot of women working; most white, some AA and Latina ladies as well. They had a respectful hustle as always but the new twist I have not experienced here before was a sort of house mom. Slightly older than the dancers (late 30s/early 40s?), not dancing but decent looking and dressed provocatively, working the room. When my buddy took a girl to the back, she came over to see why I hadn't gotten a dance as well. I saw her working the larger groups of guys around the room all evening. Again, not too pushy, just trying to make sure everyone has fun. Back to the dancers; except for BBW, I'd wager anyone could find their preferred type there, which is what Rick's always excels in. They do work the room, some are more chatty than others and some are more pushy than others.

Lap dances are still in the booths that are behind the bar on the first floor, prices are up a bit and the 3 for deal is nearly $100 (I think it was $95?). One dance was $35 and paid in advance, as in the past. I took a girl back for a single dance and mileage was the same as in the past, she let me touch anything but the kitty and kept her hands to herself. She did try to keep dancing after the first dance ended as she hadn't taken her bottoms off yet, but based on my previous experience of having the dance count run up, I let her know we should be done. Cameras are still active back there.
