Cool, laid-back club outside of downtown

Checked Haven Place out last weekend - both on Friday and Saturday night. The club is off of Rt. 40 (Pulaski Highway) roughly a mile down the same street as the Gold Club, but a couple miles outside the downtown Block area (though is a pretty straightforward drive from that area). It's in a blue collar part of town but seems safe with a well-lit parking lot and ample street parking outside the parking lot.

Haven Place is open 7 days a week until 2 AM but, unlike the Block clubs downtown, the club doesn't open until 8, with many of the dancers often not getting there until 9 or even slightly later than that. As I understand it, the bar has been in operation as a strip club/go-go bar for several decades (since at least the 1950s), with the current owner inheriting the club from his father. No cover to get in the club.

I checked out the Haven Place on consecutive nights - Friday and Saturday night. While the girls do strip full nude, the club is more of a dive bar where girls happen to strip. Overall it's a medium-sized bar with one dancing area on the side. Both nights I went there were maybe 10-15 customers for the couple of hours I was there with 6-7 girls dancing. Diversity of ages in the girls from 20s, 30s, to one dancer who appeared to be in her mid-40s. Most of the girls were white with a couple of AAs. I thought the girls were generally cute, but the girls here are going to be considered mid-tier, slightly above average at best in terms of quality. I don't like to rate girls as we all have our own, often differing opinions on beauty/quality, but you're not getting top of the line 9s and 10s here.
