Not Even a Concept of a Strip Club

Spending a lot of time in Cincy and I've given up on the Northern KY SCs and spend most of my drinking time in downtown bars, some of which have a pretty good vibe. After reading the few recent reviews on TUSCL, I didn't expect Concepts to be any better, but I had some unexpected free time one afternoon so I thought I might as well make the 30-40 minute drive and see for myself.

Place is right off the main drag going into Lawrenceburg. Standalone building with parking right out front. $15 cover at 3 pm. I took the hit in the interest of journalism. No pat down, no metal detector. Very small club. Bar is directly ahead, maybe seats 10. Two somewhat beefy dancers vaping at the bar, and one sitting with a PL at one of the tables to the right. LD area is toward the back on the right.

Small, empty stage to the left. Rudimentary bathroom at the rear on the left. Since I'd already paid the cover, I went up to the bar between the two vapers. Requested a tonic water, and the flustered bartender said all they had was beer and soft drinks. No liquor, no wine. So I ordered a $6 Heineken,
