Visited: Friday Evening

So I decided to stop in to Carl's on a Friday night recently to check out how this place is currently as I hadn't been there in years prior to this visit and me getting engaged (I'm single now). I arrived at around 10pm, made myself comfortable and was told the charge was $6 for a Corona. Carl's offers a wide variety of beers/lagers. I entered after paying the $10 cover to the doorman. On this night there were around 15 dancers from what I could see. Most looked bored and standoffish. Some looked like they had no interest in giving dances whatsoever to any of the patrons. Most of the dancers were on the thin side (I prefer women with more meat on their bones) and not really my type. A mixture of white and Latina (looked to be Mexican and/or Puerto Rican) dancers with a few ebony dancers mixed in. After glancing around, a white spinner named Fantasy caught my eye so I decided to partake in some dances. She was around 5'4" or so wearing pink lingerie and had an average build, not too thin not too thick but was my type facially. The dances were tame and I was told to keep my hands to my side for the set of 2. I was only going to feel the backside that's about it and she didn't even allow that. After the dances which were $20 apiece, none of the other dancers were really my type at all so I decided to shoot some pool with a few other customers....... Carl's is one of the few remaining Mannheim dancer bars still left from the peak years and on this night I just felt it wasn't worth it to stop in there. Not snubbing this bar as I may be back in a few months but at this time, I recommend Knockouts which is south of Carl's on Lake St as I like their selection better. I am more into the Latinas with more meat on their bones. Knockout has a nice selection of Cuban dancers.
