Small, crowded, and maybe overwhelming

Setting:

Players Club is on the east side of Federal Blvd. next to a Pleasures adult toy and magazine store. Upon my arrival at 1:30 on a Saturday, there was ample parking in the lot between the 2 buildings. The sign outside says "Now Hiring Dancers," as if they didn't have enough already. I was charged $10 entry fee and there was an ID check but no pat-down. Also, a drink was mandatory: I got a juice for $7.

The interior space is small (less than half the size of Platinum 84 or PT's--Galena); lighting was moderate, and the volume of the (all-Latino) music was moderate. There was one small stage in the center which was hollow in the middle and had dry ice steam coming out of it, and there were two other stages not in use. 4 large TVs on the walls are set to sports (though you won’t get a moment alone to watch them). I didn’t notice an ATM.

The rest room is straight back and was a bit run down with graffiti but it had 2 urinals and sinks and was serviceable. “Private” dance area is just to the right of that: a long bench separated by partitions to form a row of booths. SO, there’s not much privacy, if that matters to you. There is a narrow aisle in front of the booths. There is a shelf to put your drink on.
