Meh...

I was in Eagle River in mid-February, stopped by BuckTails. I was there a couple summers ago, not much has changed. There is a bar area with stools, and the stage is in a room to the side of the bar. There are private dance options available in a back area kind of between the bar room and the stage room. There is also an elevated area in the stage room where you can sit with a dancer and drinks.

I went back to BuckTails as, since Weasels and Frontier both closed down years ago, it's the only option in the area. I was hoping that this place might have improved a bit, but, left disappointed. There is nothing awful about it, just nothing great, either. They scan ID's at the door, which is a drag, and the crowd seems to consist of a few locals but mostly folks up to fish / hunt / snowmobile.

The dancers I have seen there are a mix of race, age and looks. On my last visit, there were none that fit the "spinner" type I so enjoy. There were a couple black dancers and a couple white dancers, the youngest probably early 20's, the oldest probably mid-30's. I did not partake in a lap dance or a private dance as the dancers did not appeal to me. I did toss a few ones to the dancer on stage, just to be polite.
