Club suffers from bad management. Located in a dangerous part of the city, Paper Moon was over-run with wannabe gangstas and drug dealers. After several incidents, including a shooting or two, management has attempted to turn it around by replacing hip-hop with softer music, turning the lights up, frisking customers, and confiscating pen knives. Prices are outrageous. On top of a membership fee, members must pay a cover, which runs as high as $25 (after midnight). Drinks and dances are equally over-priced. Beers typically are $6, with mixed drinks starting at $7-8. The cheaped lap dance (fully-clothed and in plain sight of a bouncer) is $25. There are two-for-one dances, but the songs are often shortened versions. A more typical semi-private topless lap dance runs at least $50. Quality of dancers has varied wildly, since dancers must pay a succession of tip-outs and fees to dance at the club. The A-grade dancers have long since left this club for greener pastures. Paper Moon management is like a revolving door, changing almost monthly.
