This is one of the more...

This is one of the more upscale clubs in the Providence area...load up your wallet for sure before you go. It's located right next to Rt. 146, around the corner from the big Post Office complex and just before the bigger box stores. The parking lot is, I think, shared with some other local businesses, and it appeared to be monitored by club staff at night. They were even grilling outside on the night that I was there (sometime in the year 2006?)...watch out for paid valet parking though...I just parked myself around the side of the club with no problems. The club's entrance is not on the street side of the building...it's in the back where most of the parking is located.

I agree that this club likes to nickle and dime you to death...the cover charge was $15 on the weekend night that I was there (and I do remember there being a coat check and some guy hanging out near the very crowded bathroom). The all-nude room was open on the night I was there, and I got in for no extra charge. This club is quite large...there's a large, highly-elevated, oval-shaped stage dance area in the middle of the main room...with very tall poles on either side of it, seating around it, and a bar behind it. I do vaguely remember there being a VIP room and some tables where massages could be had from some massage girls on the left side of the club as you enter, but I've never been much on receiving a massage and RI is known for a very highly priced VIP/champange room experience. On the right side of the club as you enter it they'll be the entrance to the dancer's dressing room and a short flight of stairs up to the second level of the club. On the second level of the club, there was the all-nude room and the bathroom. Then, there was a long flight of stairs that went up to the very open (you could even see what was going on from the lower levels of the club) "private" dance areas. The all-nude room was a small rectangular room with plenty of inimate seating around it, a small stage dance area in the middle of the room, and a small bar at the back of the room. The private dance area consisted of a table where you paid the house fee to get a lapdance (dances were $25/song for topless and $35/song for all-nude) and a very long line of small booth/cubicles that were very open for all to see (I even remember being scolded by a lady that was pacing up and down this area trying to tell patrons and dancers what they could and could not do). The DJ did a good job announcing which dancers would be dancing where, and the club does have the occasional featured dancer highlighted well on their website.

There were many, many dancers on the night I was here, and all age ranges, ethnicities, and races were represented. I was scolded by one black dancer in the all-nude room for not tipping $2 a pop though. Several dancers were very open about talking about their real lives and apparently giving out their real names...if you're cool...I guess they'll be cool. I'd rate the dancers on a scale from a 5 to an 8 in my book. The staff was friendly, but the music was a tad loud (it made it kind of hard to hear what people were saying to me). The club got crazy, out-of-control busy by the end of the night...I swear it was wall-to-wall, shark-skinned suited, guido-types downstairs when I was leaving, which might make it hard to find the dancer that you want (pay attention/tip well to the one you want while she's onstage and go from there). The one "private" lapdance that I got was a from a pretty, very friendly, young girl that gave me a very, very agressive, extremely-hard pounding/grinding dance (almost too hard...she was very sweaty when we were done). The hustle factor of most dancers wasn't too excessive IMO.
