Stopped by Escape Reality a couple...

Stopped by Escape Reality a couple of times in recent months while in the South Bend/Elkhart area. Quality of dancers continues to be pretty good for a rural, non metro club. Most are early to mid-20s, with an occasional 'veteran'. Usually one or two black girls out of 8 or 10 dancers. While ER has that neighborhood bar feel to it when you first arrive, it's pretty easy to ignore when you are back in the strip club section, the back 2/3 of the place. Reasonably priced drinks. Friendly staff. Very little trouble from the floor guy unless you are really stupid with your hands. If you have a chance, catch the Sunday amateur night. I saw a pretty good one, a combination of dancers from other clubs and a couple of true amateurs, which is usually fun. And--this is great--they play full length songs, so you really get your money's worth at $20 per dance. ER could improve even more by repairing the shaky partitions that wall-off the lap dance area behind the stage and by creating a couple of truly private VIP booths in the opposite corner. I'd suggest $50 for 15 VIP minutes. I predict they'd be full most of the time. If you are in South Bend on business, it's only about a 20 minute drive to ER. Well worth it compared to anything you'll find in SB!
