Worth Checking Out

Unless you are a local or already some kind of a devotee, you really have to make an effort to visit this place. It is not "on the way" to anywhere. It is oddly nestled in what seems to be a relatively upscale neighborhood in western Baltimore. Again, unless you are a regular, good luck coordinating Google Maps’ sequence of verbal directions and map images, while also occasionally looking up through the windshield.

Pulling up to the place, it looks like the nicest supper club in a midwestern factory town that had its heyday two generations ago and has gone a bit to seed. Decent-sized parking lot, but at 9:30 pm on a Thursday, it seemed surprisingly full compared to the scene when I went inside.

Went inside, accommodating security guy talked me through the metal detector and collected $10 cover. Immediately toward the left front was a shallow stage with a “keyhole” platform, surrounded by go-go bar type poles, that extended toward the rear of the club and an undulating bar which looks like it could seat 30 or so patrons.
