A Chill Spot with Consistent Shortcomings

The venue had a dark, lit ambiance with two main stage poles. The place was clean and did not appear rundown. The DJ played a mixture of hip-hop and house mixes at a moderate volume. The music level was at about a 6, meaning you could hear the person sitting next to you but needed to lean in and focus if someone across the table was speaking. There was no wristband required for dances, and the dance area was not very private, located close to the high-standing DJ booth. Do not expect to get carried away.

I arrived late on a weekday night and noticed very few clients—around 5 in total. There were about 10-13 dancers present, mainly Cuban and Hispanic, with a few white and black dancers. A select few dancers had upbeat attitudes but were mostly focused on regulars. Most were on their phones, which was frustrating, especially when one returned to their seat despite being tipped on stage. The dancers seemed primarily interested in securing lap dances rather than engaging in conversation unless you were a regular. The overall vibe felt more transactional than welcoming.

Drink prices were fairly standard, with cocktails costing around $10 each. I spent approximately $85 for 6 or 7 drinks, but the drinks felt watered down compared to other places. Dance prices were around $30 each, which I didn’t dare think about due to the lackluster main stage performances. The private VIP area at the back of the building promised more privacy if you are willing to pay the steep VIP prices.
