Solid table side dances. Private rooms too pricey to partake.

The Place: Modest in size. Not much bigger than your local neighborhood dive bar. But much nicer. Wood paneled walls and a solid drink selection. There are two main rooms: (1) narrow bar area up front with a tiny stage off to the side and (2) somewhat larger seating area in the back with a couple tiny stages. Bathrooms are upstairs (clean and well-appointed), along with private rooms. Cover was $20. I had a few bourbons, each $18.

The Dancers: 16-20 by my count. Good mix. I’d hazard 1/3 European (mainly your usual Eastern European fare, but with a couple English girls from Newcastle), 1/3 Latin American (e.g., Colombia, Cuba), and 1/3 from the US (mainly white). Quality is high across the board. Girls will frequently approach you for dances, but not too pushy.

The Dances (stage): Lackadaisical. Largely swaying side to side. But understandable for a couple reasons: (1) no one seems to be tipping at the stage and (2) the stages are too small for anything more than swaying, especially with heels!
