Major changes, overall for the better.

First time back in quite awhile and the venue has been substantially upgraded. But, as usual, some bad with the good.

The main room is still quite dark, but the tacky chairs and tables have been replaced with soft and cushy single and double seats. Very comfortable and easily accommodate a visitor for talking or negotiating. Major PLUS. Daytime cover was just $5 plus a drink.

The VIP area, though, is same-old, same-old. Still too brightly lit and the high-backed booths are stacked right on top of each other. When it's empty you have some privacy -- otherwise not so much. And my dancer informed me that they've instituted a strict and enforced NO BOOBS OUT policy in this area. Major NEGATIVES.
