First Visit, Definitely Not the Last Visit, But a Caveat...

I was told by a dancer at one club that one of my current favorite dancers had moved to Essex. In all my years, I'd never been here before, so I was interested in finding out what the club was like. Essex is off of Indian School Road, a little west of Eve's Tease and a bit from Dirty's and Chica's. In other words, not the best part of town (violent crime rate in this ZIP code is 3x the national average). But, the cock wants what the cock wants, so onward with the visit.

I arrive a little before 6 PM, after a brutal commute from the east side. The club is located in a strip mall next to Monkey Wheels and Tires, and I was surprised to see all the parking spots in the front taken, but there was plenty of parking the rear, so I pulled in there, made sure no valuables were exposed, and locked the car. Walked inside, a bored cashier didn't even look up from her phone, and I continued in, no cover charge requested. I was greeted immediately a large dude I assumed was the bouncer, and I was about to show my Driver's License when he waved me off, seeing that I made the minimum 21 YO cutoff by about 40+ years. Very friendly first impression.

Club layout: Bar is directly in front as you enter There are three stages, though only the middle one is used most of the time, with occasional jaunts by dancers over to the stage on the left. Typically, 2 song sets, and the occasional customer making it rain on the girls. Bathroom is directly to the right of the bar (2 urinals, 2 toilets, no waiting and no bathroom troll). VIP Room directly to the left of the bar and enter through a mirrored door. The club has all sorts of nooks and crannies to sit at, with both tables and booths. I was reminded a bit of the old Olympic Gardens layout before they remodeled the place, with all sorts of corners to hide in with your dancer, if you are so inclined (I am). Floor dances are $10 each, and VIP dances are $30 each, with no entrance fee or wristband needed. I genuinely have no idea how much drinks are as I was never asked to buy a drink during my visit. As best as I can tell, if you want a drink, you need to walk up to the bar and order one. The bartender was a particular hot, curvy, thick Latina MILF wearing a nice black lingerie outfit. I hoped she did dances but I do not think she does. The music is exclusively Hip-Hop, both in Spanish and English. Dancer ratio was probably 75% Latina and 25% AA, with no white or Asian dancers that I could see.
