Nashville to Smithville.

Nashville is renowned for country music, not for strip clubs! So when I found myself there for a few days, I decided to check out Midnight Express in Smithville. I failed to jot down reminder notes, so my review is going entirely by memory...

The address of the club shows “Smithville”, but Midnight Express is kind of off by itself on a two lane road, maybe 4 to 5 miles east of the main part of the town. Especially if driving to or from the club at night, be careful! Two lane country roads like these tend to keep me on extra high alert, especially without any daylight to help matters. Anyway, I can’t remember if the club parking lot was paved, gravel, dirt, or some combination thereof? I was lucky to grab an empty parking spot close to the entrance, so I didn’t have to go hunting for a space...

The men’s restroom was up near the front entrance, and a somewhat long hallway led up to where the security guy was stationed near the bar. Thanks to a friend of mine, I actually had a free pass to use, so I did not pay a cover charge. I was scanned with a handheld metal detector, though, and as much as the security guy seemed to frisk me, I almost felt like he should have bought me dinner first...lol He was friendly enough, but it was a fairly aggressive pat down. No ID check in my case, although I’m obviously middle-aged, so a younger person might be requested to show some ID. I ordered a coke from the cute bartender, which I think was $3, so I gave her a $5 and went to find a seat.
