My first time was a nice time at Cheerleaders

I had a Saturday afternoon available before a flight out of PHL and so I caught a LYFT over to Cheerleaders arriving about 2:30 pm. As others have written before, it’s quite a nice and spacious club. The main room has a very large bar with a three-pole main stage as an island in the middle and the bartenders work around this stage to serve the patrons. Of note, the stage actually has a break/chasm between the middle pole and the pole nearest the entrance which for some of the dancers (the shorter ones) seemed definitely to be an occupational hazard. The far side of the bar has a bank of very large televisions that had a number of college football games televised and the side of the club opposite the TVs has 4 semi-circular alcoves with curved cushioned sofas (that were vacant when I first arrived but became used more frequently as the afternoon progressed into the evening. There is a bathroom (large and clean) immediately to the right down the hall after you enter and on your way there — no attendant in the afternoon but one did come in and hand you paper towels in the evening time. You can see into the communal lap dance rooms where there are cubicles separated by dividers providing a reasonable amount of privacy. The “champagne rooms” are to the far end of the large room; there are the 15 and 30 minutes areas that are large rooms with a cushioned loveseat/sofa and fairly opaque curtains as doors. Then there are three large rooms (the 60 minute Champagne areas) that actually have doors that close.

No cover at the time I arrived. There was apparently a featured dancer coming in that evening and so they had her teaser advertisements on the TVs as well. My local IPA was $8.50 (so essentially $10 with tip). I didn’t eat but I bought a dancer lunch and a Coke for $15.00 and lots of people were buying food so I suspect it was pretty good. The lap dances are $20 “per song” but they are really timed by a wristband that the girls use to “check in” and there is an totally unobtrusive monitor who collects your money at the end essentially adjudicating the song count for your and your dancer. Any additional tips go directly to the dancer. The Champagne rooms are $175/15 minutes and two drinks, $360/30 minutes and four drinks, and $600/60 minutes and any tips are in additional to those charges. The dancers perform 2 song “sets” and most all go topless (or if not topless, pull their boobs out of whatever top they are wearing) and then go around for the tip walk. The stage show varies — some had good pole work, others just stood and swayed, many did “floor work” to show off their assets but I didn’t see any exposed pussy. It is difficult to tip the dancers while they are dancing since the bar essentially serves as a “moat” and that distance eliminates any possible physical interaction with them. My experience on this day was that $1-$5 was sort of the norm and most all of the older patrons that were there were tipping in that range. The “do you want a dance” hustle was relatively low key during my visit; some would just acknowledge and take the tip, others would ask if you wanted a dance but if you declined, moved on without any problems.

Initially, there were probably 5-6 dancers in rotation; by the time I left about 5 hours later, there were probably 20 dancers. As also has been noted before, these dancers’ bodies are physically quite appropriate for this particular profession (my subjective attractiveness ratings would be (6-9) — there were not any “chunky” dancers and many were waif-like, petite spinners. Mostly white dancers although some Latinas and WOC were there — I think I saw one dancer who might have been an Asian mix. Age range was 20-40. I didn’t get a chance to meet them all but these are the ones I did meet:
