I was pleasantly surprised by this (otherwise) dreadful place. I had a fun chat with a dude distributing free-entry cards along Bourbon St. (Hint: NEVER pay cover on Bourbon except at prime time. There are so many dudes going up and down the street giving out free-entry business cards that you should just collect them, off the ground if you have to!) He told me that Bewitched is the only "independent" club on Bourbon Street. I believe this could be true -- all the others either small New Orleans chains (perhaps Big Daddy's and Ricks are owned by the same local conglomerate?) or part of the mega Deja-Vu-Hustler chain. Anyway, the set-up inside Bewitched is pleasant enough, though the bar is more cramped than I'd like. There are VIPs and privates and back-rooms and back-back rooms for exorbitant prices (they start at $500 and skyrocket to $3000). The prices make it clear, it's all about corporate bucks. Anyway, the girls ranged from 2s and 3s up to a few solid 7s. As good as can be seen at Visions, in general (though any given individual might break the curve at either location), but not stellar. The drinks are over-priced, along Bourbon Street standards (a shot of Jaeger is $8.50, so you end up paying $10 each, for example), but the same as any other strip club in the vicinity unless there's a special going on somewhere. The clientele was decent, lots of middle-aged businessmen types, whaling the girls. Probably locals. All the girls had gone to High School somewhere in town. A dive, not Bourbon Street's best, but not as much of a disaster as previous reviews seem to indicate. Funniest thing, though; the owner / salesman who insisted on me going in ("free cover! what have you got to lose?") freely admitted that it's different every night. "What did you not like about it? The girls? The girls are different every night." On the one hand, this is perhaps a selling point in favor of my entry into the club on any given night; on the other hand, this exact same fact is a point to the DISfavor of the club itself over any general assessment, including in this review. He shouldn't be so quick to admit his down-side without also seeking to fix it!
