Pendulum swung the other way

As per my prior reviews, I have had a mixed bag of experiences in 2024. It looked like things were changing for the worse, then they were more back to normal but my last visit made me think that things are definitely headed the wrong way.

I like to visit Ruby's as it is conveniently located off I-95 and has a chill, neighborhood bar atmosphere. The women who work there are laid back and respect your space and are comfortable waiting for you to ask for a dance. Depending on the dancer, YMMV but when you connect with someone, it used to mean a high level of two-way contact. Based on my last visit, I'm not sure that is still the case.

I stopped by in the afternoon which is my usual time as I drive up and down I-95 for work. There is attended parking across the street, while Ruby's itself looks like a local bar. When you enter, there's a rectangular bar where most people sit, while the left half of the room is the stage with some seating plus pool tables. Further left is the lap dance room, which have cubbies for the dances. While not totally private, the barriers between the cubbies provide enough privacy for some good hands-on contact.
