Having been a dancer at this...

Having been a dancer at this club for over 3 years, imagine my surprise when I moved back after a year away at college and it was no longer Stephanie's Cabaret, the wonderful, dark, smokey, dive bar!! Now called the Silver Dollar, its certainly been redone cosmetically: new wood tile laid right over the old carpet, big new bar front and center, bright lights to emphasize cellulite (I have none; not a problem for me, but some things men just don't wanna see!)....the bathrooms are no longer health hazard to laugh about, and the drinks prices were raised $1.50 each to pay for the new glasses, I would imagine. Oh, and they raised the ceiling over the stage 2 feet to accomodate the new pole. This would sound enticing, however, being a top-notch pole dancer, I can assure you that when a pole is installed with a slick finish, there's no grip, so the tricks are limited. Mine at home is much better, but I'm sure the new owner has never been on one, or he would've ordered the matte finish instead. Speaking of the new owner, a review I read said there were better dances at Platinum up the street, but guess what?.... they are both owned by the same person!!! Notice the shape of the private dance chairs in Silver Dollar now. With Arkansas' "no-touching" law, its very hard to get close without falling on a customer, so the dances can't be as good. Again, the owner got what was "shiney" rather than considering the practicality of his purchase, silly boy.

As for the dancers, they are pretty average for this area. There are only three topless clubs from the Missourri border to the outskirts of Little Rock, the same man now owns them all, and the dancers rotate as the urge strikes. Because the laws are stricter here than in most other areas, you are more likely to get more real conversation and less hustle. And southern girls are pretty. Flat out.

A customer would more likely be disappointed with the music. When the club was still Stephanie's, it had a D.J., a music computer, and a C.D. player. Now there's simply a person to announce the dancer's name, and the dancer picks her music off of a jukebox. No real personal choices for the dancer there, and no longer can a gentleman be in the mood for a certain song or group and request the D.J. to play it, thus making the D.J. and a willing entertainer a few extra bucks. The new owner had an idea that it would be an all country themed topless club, and although there are a few good tracks on the jukebox, there's also Freddy Fender, Tammy Wynette, and Cole Porter.... I'm not kidding!! Oh, yeah, and bring some quarters because the jukebox does take quarters to play, and if the customers don't donate for the jukebox, the girls have to do it themselves. Classy, huh?!!

As a man, would I go there? For the area, yeah. It is the nicest strip-club interior for miles. And its got a good stage thats not too high so you can get really close & focus on the lady of your choice..
