Visited: Not Provided After Midnight

Visited on a weekday late august for a $10 cover. There was only a small group of friends sitting at the empty stage when I walked in and I only saw two other people, both solo, enter the rest of the night. They have one door vulture who magically finished up the first guy 5 minutes before the second guy walked in which she also swooped up. She was very persistent with me but I declined because door vultures give me the ick and she was complaining about the other guys she swooped off to VIP that night. If I could go back, I would have just gone with her though since she ended up being the only one who seemed interested in being there.

 

They just want to sell VIPs here and nothing else. Stage was dead for what felt like 30 mins even with everyone sitting at the front. The girls were out, but they were just sitting on their phones in a corner away from us and kept going in and out of the dressing room. The stage only started up again once of the guys from the group came out of his VIP and reunited with his crew. That could have just been a coincidence, but the job here is to depart the customers from all of their cash so I'm leaning more towards it being intentional.

 

For the most part the stage performances were middle of the road. Enjoyable for sure, but something you can get anywhere else. There was one girl who seemed to genuinely being having fun on stage. I wanted to take her back, but one of the guys in the group was fiending for her and I didn't want to kill their vibe. I did stack a few Lincolns up since I too was fiending for her to wrap those legs around my head.
