Pleasantly Surprised. YMMV based on girl

General Impressions: I visited Rick's on a Saturday and Sunday night in mid-December. I went in with low expectations because I’d read online that the Chicago scene wasn't great, but I was pleasantly surprised. The venue feels on par with the Rick's in New York. The layout is solid: a large dance floor in the middle with a stage (one dancer on the pole), a bar on one side, and table seating surrounding the rest.

Saturday Night:

Time & Atmosphere: Arrived around 10:00 PM. About 20 girls were working, with a high percentage of white dancers. The customer-to-girl ratio was favorable, roughly 2:1.
