Tepid.

Spearmint Rhino COI used to be my go-to for strip clubs. No matter what the time, there was an energy to the place filled with beautiful women who WANTED to hang out with the patrons (or at least were good at acting like it). I have stories about every visit.

This Wednesday evening, however...

The entry fee was $22, which seems pretty steep until you dissect it into a $12 door charge and a $10 pre-paid beverage. Nude bar, so everything's non-alcoholic. Even so, not sure the experience was worth $12.

My main challenge with strip clubs these days is the lack of dancers on stage. Used to be, even when things were slow, you'd have a dancer on the stage every other dance, and a bunch of wallflowers scrolling on their phones who might get up now and then and hustle for a dance. Last night's visit: a dancer would go on stage, do their two, and then they'd play four songs before another dancer would go on standby. After that, we might see them walking around the floor a bit. When the DJ announced the 2 for 2 dances, no dancer was out hustling until after the first song had begun.
