Another year in EP, another mediocre visit.

This year, I made another trip to El Paso to visit family. After Christmas Day, I got bored and decided to check out the progress at Buck's late in the afternoon or early evening.

The club's entrance features a vestibule with a door attendant and a metal detector. The cover charge was $8, likely because I arrived before 6 PM—though I can't say for sure. Once inside, the main stage is straight ahead, with a side stage located near the bar to the left. They seem to use the smoke machine more than other places I've visited, making it hard to see across the room. That evening was particularly smoky.

The seating area surrounds the main stage, and for added comfort, booths are available if you purchase bottle service. I haven’t tried bottle service, so I don’t know the pricing.
