Good night and good new ownership

Came through on a Saturday around 9pm, stayed until about midnight. Second time at this spot—first visit was maybe a year and a half ago—and the difference is noticeable enough that it almost feels like a different place. Word is there’s been a change in ownership, and whoever took over clearly put some thought into it. The layout feels tighter and more intentional, lighting is better, and the whole operation runs smoother. Even the bouncers seemed more professional—did the metal detector thing, ran through the rules (no touching, no cameras, no alcohol), all of it low-key and without attitude.

Ended up getting waved through on cover because I was on their mailing list. Grabbed a seat toward the middle—there’s a one-drink minimum, so I went with a water, which they actually had. Small thing but appreciated.

Crowd was moderate for a Saturday—maybe 20 guys at peak, which kept the energy up without the place feeling chaotic. Dancer count was solid, probably 15 or so, good mix across the board in terms of type and look. Mostly 6s and 7s with a handful that genuinely stood out. About half working the floor at any given time.

Got approached pretty steadily throughout the night. A few sat down and just wanted to chat, which was fine. One girl—shorter, curvy, with a kind of effortless confidence—settled right in and made herself comfortable before any mention of dances. Easy to talk to, not pushy. Eventually went for a $20 tableside with her just to see what she was working with. Solid contact, good energy, not mechanical about it. Did two more songs with her right there before calling it on that front.

Later on I was approached by a taller girl, mixed, with a great athletic build and really good stage presence—she’d done a set earlier that caught my attention. We talked for a bit before she brought up a private room. Went for a three-song set at $90. She was upfront about what she was comfortable with before we even got started, which I actually respect—laid out that she’d guide things and I could follow her lead. First song was warmup, second and third got progressively more into it. Lots of deliberate, unhurried movement, very attentive. At a couple points she slowed everything down in a way that made it feel more like an actual interaction than a transaction. Tipped her $40 on top.
