Where in the world is Salty

Where am I? Tijuana or Pattaya? Keep reading to find out. First let's find the club, probably the nearest club to downtown Phoenix. Located at the Southwest corner of 7th St & Virginia Ave, just a couple of major streets north of I-10, not terribly far from Bank One Ballpark (BOB) or Chase Field or Mortgage Matchuo Center or whatever they're naming these places lately since they constantly change.

Ok, once you arrive there's parking on the North side, or directly behind the club or a larger, easier accessible lot on the other side of the parking space dividers. The club entrance is on 7th St after walking thru the alleyway. Once inside, expect to have your driver license scanned and a quick patdown. Why? I always think, I'm so far from a dangerous looking patron...more definitely on the PL looking side. The club is sort of two different clubs, the front has a long bar and at first you might think that it's just a neighborhood bar except for the very small stage with single pole opposite the bar. Today, the dancers did one dance there and their 2nd dance in the back area. Before leaving the front, there a restroom just before leaving the front area, luckily there's no troll, no greeter to show you to your seat and never been required to purchase a drink (looking at you HiLiter on all 3).

Finally in the back area there's a circular stage with one pole where the dancers finished up there rotation, makes sense since it's where the lap dances take place. All the way in the back is the VIP area with about 6 seating areas with short dividers between them. The music is mostly Latin but today was definitely strange because I walked in hearing the Eagles Hotel California, definitely unusual for Bandaids. This is mostly a Hispanic club, most of the girls are Mexican but not necessarily all the patrons, today were old retired white guys, younger AA guys and Hispanic tradesman I guess. The music sound level is OK to carry on a conversation and today the DJ was pretty good, could actually understand all of the girl's names and not overly talkative.
