An Institution

Tootsie's definitely lives up to the hype. Went around 6:30pm and stayed for a couple hours to see the lineup change from Day to Night shift. The building is massive and has multiple stages to choose from - though on this Tuesday they only had the main stage downstairs running. The place was clean and had good vibes.

Has an area with sports bar vibe, so you can just hang out and watch the games for a while. Drinks are average price ($10 for a Modelo draft), bartender I had was a little rude but overall it was a fine experience. Servers were friendly and came around often.

Probably 40-50 women working during the day shift, then another 40+ during the night. Mostly Latinas (overwhelmingly from Cuba or Venezuela). Many only spoke Spanish, so worth noting if you don't. Paid $52 for two dances. Both were well done and allowed full touching. I had a pretty tame experience, but I had multiple instances of being offered the option to go upstairs and have the "anything you want" experience - including two different strippers offering to recreate the iconic scene from Wolf of Wallstreet between Leo and Natalie Bensel (wink wink).
