Currently a bad period at Cheerleaders Philadelphia

I’ve been frequenting Cheerleaders Philadelphia for a year on Sat. nights. It’s a big club in Philadelphia in a shopping plaza. No issues with safety or parking.

The club used to be lively even around 9pm on Sat. nights. But my past several Sat night visits — Nov. 2024, Dec. 2024 and now Jan. 2025 — have all been bad. Upon entering I’ve been encountering a half-empty bar, and a total lack of energy. Both the dancers and the customers have dwindled. The unexpected benefit is that the notorious tip walk has largely leveled off.

There seems to be a drop in Russian/EE dancers now (with White-American dancers having largely left around Feb. 2024 as well). This basically leaves a small number of Hispanics. Not many, like 6-7 on a Sat. night. The poor numbers and energy are the opposite of what should be happening on Sat. nights, when the place should be kicking.
