Multicultural Roadhouse vibes

Went to club 390 to cap off my Chicago trip. Thos was my 3rd time visiting the club so i kind of knew what to expect. On a prior visit a random Sat evening thr place was packed with mongers and finding a place to sit can be a real issue. I decided to throw $ at the problem by purchacing a VIP for a day ticket for (80 or 100) i forget instead of the $20 cover. This gets you a reserved table on the VIP section and a much more attentive server. Additional perk is that you also are next to the VIP stage where the girl dances last so if you like her it is easy to ask her to join you for a bit after her dance. I dont know of this is really worth it for most people but i hate roaming for a seat so it was a decent option for me. Drinks were reasonably priced (for a club) I had a coors light, 2 gin and tonics, 2 bottles of water for me and bought a red bull and a fruity cocktail for a dancer. Total bar tab was less than 40. The place reminds me of the roadhouse bar from that movie if you crossed it with a much more racially diverse crowd. Pateons and staff were polite and friendly but they did have 2 armed guards wearing vests. There was no incidents when i was there but i do get the feeling they pay those guys to be there for a reason.

There are 3 stages (main, VIP, side) 1 bar, a slot machine section and 2 lap dance areas. I did not visit the champaigne rooms ( i think they call them VIP rooms here), but i was told they have them and they confiscate your phone before you go in. Price varies by the girl for the VIP and what is on the menu. I was given quotes for 350 for 30 min on up. Lap dances are 30 per song. There is a reduced option for topless but it is an air dance. The $30 dances are full contact.

I arrived around 10pm and the place had a lot less customers than i expected. I began to regret my VIP purchase but i was pot committed so i decided to stick it out and hope more people showed up. I asked if one of the girls i was hoping to see (Haley) was working but found out she had the day off. I danced with several of the girls and thr place evemtually filled up to standing room only by about 1am. Around midnught they did a $ dance special where the girls go around the room and give you 15 second dances for a buck. It gave you a chance to try a girl out and see id you want to take her back for a full dance.
