Major transition over time

Wow! It is amazing how a club can change over time. I don't have the time to write a detailed report of this club and I also do not think it is worth my time to do so. I loved this club at one time and had some amazing nights here, but wow how it has changed. This was once the premier club in the southeast (except during the run the Gold Club had prior to the FBI sting). Today, I cannot see myself ever going back.

To be fair, I came in shortly before 8pm, so the evening girls were not in yet. The afternoon girls were there and nothing looked appealing to me. I would estimate that 70% were AA and 98% had ink. I was told by a friendly bartender that the owner went to Miami to check out strip clubs prior to their remodel. Maybe they were trying to replicate EllEVEN in Miami and make it more of a party club than a strip club. I was told that customers need to spend $1k or more to sit at the booths on the floor. Gone are the long stages that lined the two bars.

Okay, so I found it really interesting how frank the bartenders were about the club's transition. I was specifically told that the white customers did not come back after they re-opened following covid. With Atlanta being the hip-hop capital, Cheetah began to develop a loyal following from the AA community after the pandemic. As a result, management began hiring more and more AA dancers to appeal to their new clientel. He told me how much the cover charge is at night and for special events. He made it clear that the club is really busy at night and customers are spending a lot of money. He indicated that they no longer attract the convention folks like years past.
