I visited on a Thursday around...

I visited on a Thursday around 7:30 pm and stayed until 11. There were 12 dancers doing 2 song sets on 2 stages when I arrived and that maybe increased to 14 girls by the time I left. This club is hard for me to rate because some things were awesome, others not so great. No cover charge, but I was told there is a 1 drink minimum. Service and food were outstanding from a really energetic and fun waitress. The two stages working each had a spinning pole, which made for some cool tricks. The lighting is irritating, with a huge strobe light on each stage that alternates colors and intermittently blinds anyone in the way, including the dancers. One dancer told me that they hate it too, but that management refuses to turn them off. I didn't like the stages either. The level at which the dancer works is only slightly elevated, maybe a foot or two above the floor level and surrounded by a 4 sided tip rail that is elevated to about 28 inches, effectively obscuring part of the show unless you are right at the rail leaning over. The rails are too narrow for the dancer to walk on or really perform any tricks, so it really takes away from options in a performance. And God do they have enough chairs? There are so damn many chairs and tables everywhere it's like an obstacle course.

The girls ranged from 6 to 10, with most clustering around 7. One was a stunning petite blonde who I first met at Dolphin II during Miss Nude Oregon 2007. She is really cute and does a slow, erotic performance that blends in some wonderful pole tricks. She's also extremely outgoing and warm, a girl that makes you feel like you've known her all your life right away. I also had a good time with a delightful Hispanic girl who sat and talked with me most of the night. She is a very fun energetic dancer.

So Dolphin gets an 8 for the dancers, a 10 for service and friendliness factor, and a 3 for the strobe light and stage design. Oh, what the hell, it's all about the ladies so I'll probably be back.
