Nothing wrong here except the prices

It's been more than a year since I last visited Mario's. That time there were two customers, including me, and mine was the only money being spent. In comparison, the place was hopping when I returned a couple of weeks ago. I would guess seven to ten dancers and about as many customers.

Access is easy: a minute off I290, with plenty of parking behind the building. The bar is on your right as you enter, with seven or eight seats, and the stage forms three sides of a hollow square on your left. There might be thirty seats around the outer and inner perimeters. On the day I visited, mine was the only occupied chair. (Pro: I got an exclusive nude show for about 12 minutes; con: there was no graceful way to avoid over tipping.).

The dancer finished her three song set, and we moved to one of several comfortable couches in the middle room of the club. (About $20 got me a Coke, and white wine for her.). This room also has tables and chairs. I gather you can order food here, although I can't report on whether you should.
