Desperate Fiend Vibes

Scarlett’s. Its reputation precedes it. I hadn’t been since a bachelor party a few years back. There was some good action then, brownout drunk on a weekend. But nothing prepared me for how depressing a weeknight here could be. Especially when stone cold sober.

Outside security simply said “hey”. No pat down. No wand. No ID check. Went inside and the door guy asked for $15. Thanks to @dannyboy3’s review I knew about the $5 off coupon on their site and had it pulled up on my phone already. Made it a $10 cover 👍

I walked through the curtains and the club was a lot smaller than I remembered. A minuscule square room. Restroom directly across from the entrance. No troll. Hexagonal main stage to the left. Small pentagonal one across from that. Boozeless bar in the far back. Damn. I thought they had an alcohol workaround like other nude Tampa haunts.
