Slow night at Mint

Stopped by on Thursday evening (1/2) on my way back to Chicago. The place is in a little strip mall with a couple of other businesses that were closed for the evening.

There was plenty of free parking in the lot. Paid the $5 cover and took a seat at the bar to the right. The stage was immediately to the left with seating around the stage and tables to the left of that. Further back was a room with partitioned benches for lap dances. There were maybe half a dozen customers and about the same number of dancers. Soft drinks were $5.

The dancers were in the 4-7 range, most with too much body art for my taste, and ranged from stick thin to somewhat thick. The dancers would do 2 songs on stage to a variety of music. The songs seemed to be full length and not the usual 2-3 minute cuts. Some of the dancers would get topless on stage, especially if someone was tipping, but nipple tapes/pasties were always worn in the public spaces.
