Best for normies, expensive (and boring?) for degens

I decided to hit up Emperor's on the Friday night before new year's. Got there around midnight. Plenty of parking spots still available towards the end of the lot. 10 dollar cover at the door. No looked at but not scanned. Place was decently full but you can still move around freely, just have to wait for a seat at the bar or one of the tables.

Music was a mix of hip hop and top 40. The volume level was good and the DJ was letting full songs play through. Thug factor close to zero. This place is closest to nighclub-with-dancers vibe in town. Less than 5 min wait for $5 light-beer from waitresses walking the floor. A few tvs mounted behind bar and back wall playing espn.

There were 20+ dancers as far as I can tell. 4-5 latinas, 2-3 black or mix, and the rest white in varying sizes and shapes but none i would out right call ugly. Two dancers on stage at a time each doing 2 song rotations. Most dancers on stage kept their tops on or had pasties covering nipples but all of them showed appreciation to the tippers.
