Expensive but reasonably fun afternoon if you know what you're getting into

Rick's is in a bit of an obscure location on basically a highway service road, but it's honestly quite nice on the interior. In the afternoon you walk in with no cover charge and you go down the hall right to the main room and bar. It is well maintained, there's plenty of seating, and there are several different views of the main stage. Even though there were only a few patrons (thought Friday afternoon would be better than other weekdays but it really wasn't) they had dancers rotating on the main stage which was so nice. Others in the Raleigh area have basically ditched the main stage at times.

The people are honestly great. The dancers are friendly, the bar is similarly nice to the rest of the interior and the bartenders are quick to serve or break 20s into 1s. The girls ask directly if you want a dance but aren't overly pushy. The crew on a weekday afternoon is mildly attractive, but obviously you know going in that they aren't necessarily going to be the hottest set of girls you've ever laid eyes on. If you are good to them and tip main stage dances and stay respectful they'll give you a good private dance (nothing special but a fun enough time).

The prices are kinda crazy though. $40-50 for lap dances, $150-200 for 15 minutes and not much discounting as you scale up. I did 15 minutes and as I said it was solid dancing with good contact in a mostly private area. I didn't drink so can't comment on drink prices. Main stage tips I went pretty normal at between $1-5 per song depending on effort.
