Mid-Tier Fun at a Top Tier Price

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.

Speaking on the drinks for a moment, they were strong but given the cover cost, were far too expensive. Additionally, the dancers will often pressure you to buy them drinks when speaking to them. It wasn’t all bad, however, because the woman who would ultimately give me the private dance did introduce me to green tea shots.

Regarding the private dance, it was quite nice but nothing revolutionary. She did let me touch her hips, legs, ass, and covered tits. The pasties did stay on the whole time, unfortunately. She also allowed me to kiss her stomach and chest which was pretty nice. I asked if I could pay for more songs and she said maybe later. Later never happened. I wanted to get a private dance with someone else but they were all too busy (because it was so packed).
