This is a nice club physically - one of the best in St. Petersburg. However, it's not a satisfying way to spend an evening.

Often the dancers don't even go topless, let alone nude. Sometimes they will - but hell, this is supposed to be a nude club. They always should. Dancers who are not on stage are aggressive about soliciting tips, which they want to be at least 100 rubles (about four dollars), for no more than a brief introduction.

The private dances, which last ten minutes and cost 1,000 Rubles, are not much to write home about. I tried four different dancers, hoping to get a good one. Not happening. A little mutual touching, but emphasis on "a little".
