A fun Saturday night

XXXV offers a distinctly weird experience that justifies its reputation as one of the premier venues in the area. The modern industrial-meets-luxury design features exposed brick walls contrasted with plush velvet seating and new neon lighting (they’ve updated since the fire). The club is divided into four main areas: the central stage area, a more intimate lounge section with smaller stage, the champagne rooms, and a long bench for lap dances. The music was at a volume volume to enjoy the performances while still allowing the conversation, mostly hip hop and rap with some Spanish and Rock for specific dancers.

The security team was thorough but respectful at entry, maintaining a professional demeanor but ensuring a full pat down and wand - and no cell phones allowed!! Cover charge was $30, and I bought a water for $7 (I think - prices approximate). Parking was also $5. The club manager made rounds throughout the evening, ensuring everything ran smoothly and even taking time to greet some regulars personally, I wasn’t one but was cool to see.

XXXV clearly prioritizes talent in their hiring. During my visit, there were about 30 (?) performers rotating throughout the night, each bringing unique styles and personalities to their performances. Stage shows were mostly about the dollar parade, with some creative clothing, but overall was mostly about the $$ and some danced “begging” for more for too long, IMHO. Most girls were skilled conversationalists (though many with heavy Spanish or Russian accents) but they were genuinely friendly and felt like they were shooting for a genuine connection rather than rushing toward private dances. Lots of I’ll show you this now give me a dollar…that goes in for awhile with very girl.
