Need more cars in the lot?

L&L Gastonia is a brick building on a quiet street, very close to the police station and it does have some people nearby on the streets. It seemed fine during the daytime. It has an empty lot as when I arrived at 4 in the afternoon, there were 2 cars there. I was not totally sure it was open.

You enter through a door on the side of the building into a vestibule where you need to show your ID. No cover during the day. The bartender is also the door person. She was pleasant and cute. They buzz you in and the bar is right in front of you. There are pool tables to the left and then the main floor and stage at the end to the left. The rest room is to the front of the building in that area. I did not use it, so no report there.

I stop by L & L Gastonia about once per year. I used to be a more frequent visitor, but I like the Charlotte clubs better. I sat at the bar, ordered a beer ($7) and a dancer attached herself to me. She was friendly, but not attractive to me, maybe a 4. She told me that she had worked there and some clubs I knew in Charlotte for about 20 years. I am normally a fan of mature, but she was not attractive, was a bit overweight, and talked with a slang that I really had a hard time understanding. There were two other dancers at the bar, one young blonde and one AA with short hair, but I never got a chance to talk to them as the original dancer was not letting go.

They have a menu for dance prices, $30 each, $100 for 10 minutes, $150 for 15 minutes. Pretty standard for the MAL clubs in the region although I am used to $35 per dance. I drank my beer and told her I was leaving, She told me she had no dances yet today and could I give her a tip? I only had $20's, I gave her one thinking she would leave. It only encouraged her.

I did have an appointment, so I decided to cut my losses and head out. I probably would have gotten dances from one of the other dancers, next time I will not be so kind.
