After years of frequenting all Chicago area clubs, somehow I never found my way to Polekatz, until last week. Industrial Strip has been the gold standard IMO and I rarely had a great time in any Illinois club.
Valet was cheap enough and staff was friendly. No cover was a nice surprise.
Didn’t appear to be many girls working at first, mostly Latina, and the few that caught my eye were seated with their regulars. Politely declined the first two to approach (cute enough but not my taste). Nursing a reasonably priced beer I was starting to think this was a bust and I’d be on my way soon. Figured I’d at least sample a dance with the next lady to ask and I did, but it was not my scene. Very brightly lit and no privacy. Could not avoid seeing bouncers with their clipboards monitoring and the other customers seated too close for comfort. Declined a second dance for that reason. Back to the main stage where I was ready to bail but then a cute super fit blonde appeared and I got her attention. We chatted for a bit and she convinced me to try another dance in a different room in an area that wasn’t being used presumably because it was a slow night. This was much more my speed and she gave great dances. I will definitely be back.
