A Friendly Dive Bar with Lap Dances

I popped into Richard's on a Tuesday afternoon around 3pm - my fourth visit. They publish their dancer's schedule on Instagram at the beginning of the week, so I knew the names of who would be there before I arrived. On Friday they have dancers staggered in groups of 5, each group dancing for a 3-4 hour period. Some of the dancers stick around after their dance period to talk/offer dances, but not all.

The location is on the edge of Scott's Addition. It's a fairly nondescript building on the outside, looking sort of like a warehouse. The inside is very dark, and even after my eyes adjusted I had difficulty seeing the dancers. It's vibe is that of a dive bar with a stage in the middle. Although there are seats around the stage, most people sat at either the booths that ringed the area or at the bar itself.

When I arrived, the noon shift was ending up - the dancers were Leah (who apparently left before I got there), Navi (a tall, stacked blonde with tattoos), Alejandra (an older latina with a great body), Angel (leaving when I arrived), and Piper (a shorter blonde in her late 20s, early 30s, unenhanced but cute natural frame). The 3:20 shift was starting, with dancers Rochelle, Ember, Alejandra (again), Fawn, and Alex. I grabbed a beer ($7 for cheap domestic) and went to a booth.
