I've gone a couple of times now in the past three months since moving to Rochester from a larger city. Figuring that it was a Saturday and I didn't really know many people yet, I decided to check out the Barrel for some amusement. The staff was overall pretty friendly and the dancers were pretty hit or miss. NYs nudity-to-alcohol rule is really odd to me but that's how the cookie crumbles. I got a private dance (two or three songs, I think) and it was pretty fun. Place was really packed though so it made it difficult to connect with any other dancers. I'd probably recommend going at a different time if you're looking for more variety in entertainment.
