A Good Time at Heart Breakers

I arrived at Heartbreakers for what turned out to be a good time at about 10:00 on a Thursday night. There’s a parking lot in the back, and from there, you have to walk around the premises of the building to enter through the front door. It’s a decent/nice residential area, but it is pretty dark on the backside of the building. I definitely didn’t feel unsafe, but looking back, it might have been a bit sketchy if there was any kind of rough crowd around.

When you walk around and enter the front door, you are greeted by a fairly large flight of stairs. At the top is the front desk. I paid the guy there my 10 dollar cover and tipped him a few bucks on top of that. From there, he led me to the bar and pulled out a stool for me. I’m not sure if there’s something special about that spot or if they want to make sure everyone gets something from the bar, but it was an interesting move by him.

Looking around, the place was surprisingly full for a Thursday. I would say there were about 25-30 patrons. It was actually a bit cramped in a way. I would later find out that there is a second bar area that they utilize on Friday and Saturdays. It is up to the right of the stage. From what I saw, it seemed pretty well kept and clean. (The rest of the club was also in good shape.) Also up by the secondary bar was a smaller stage and the dancers’ dressing room. Not that I think it affected my experience in any way, but I did notice that a good chunk (probably almost half) of the other customers there were speaking Spanish. Obviously not a problem for me, but it did seem a bit odd as I don’t think that too many of the dancers seemed to speak Spanish.
