Old reliable

Went by on a Thursday afternoon around 3. As described before there is a VERY long bar as you come in. There are stages at each end of the room, but aren't normally used during the day. General routine is to sit at the bar and one of the dancers will usually join you to start the sales pitch. Most of them will soon give you the Washington Park "handshake".

Beer, water, and sodas all seem to run around $6. Dancer shots are usually $12. They didn't appear to be collecting a cover at that time of the day.

There seemed to be about 6-8 dancers working that day, mostly white and a full range of body types and ages.

After I got my bottle of water, I was joined by a slim, white dancer that I hadn't met before. I offered to buy her a drink and all she asked for was a soda. She quickly gave me the "handshake" and continued with that during our conversation. She soon lost her top, and while she was slim, had a nice set of nipples that she allowed me to fondle. Also gave her a backrub, which she seemed to appreciate. She kept her bottoms on, but didn't mind if I rubbed outside.

The pitch at the bar is to get you to go to the VIP area which is a room at the left end of the bar. It has two couches, separated by a divider. The room does have a door. (years ago, it was just a beaded curtain) As mentioned in other reviews there is a hefty fee to the house and then whatever you negotiate with the dancer. There is every indication that there is a full range of services available.
