As a believer in giving credit...

As a believer in giving credit where credit is due, here’s an update to my write up from a couple years back. Last year they started fixing this place up. Can’t remember exactly when it started but it seems like it’s just about finished. The driveway into the parking area (mud and rocks don’t really rate being called a lot) still looks like the surface of the moon but there’s a patch of concrete a little wider than a car so you’re not usually forced to drive through it. Would be nice to see that fixed. I could go through all the interior changes but it’s a lot shorter just to describe the lay of the land as is. When you first walk in expect to be frisked. The same thing happens at most DC clubs so it comes with the territory. Cover is $20. You can get in cheaper by arriving early, but since the place doesn’t pick up until after 11 pm or so you’re wasting your time showing up then without friends. On Friday and Saturday expect to pay a $10 fee to park near the club. If you aren’t local that’s your best bet. The dancers run the entire range, but there are more attractive girls working here now. Even a few 9's and 10's, and most are young. Lots to choose from. In terms of dancer ethnicity this is almost entirely a black club, even moreso than before. The typical LD is going to cost you $10, up from $5 and is done in the open on a variety of chairs that go from semi comfortable to metal. Styles and mileage will vary. It doesn’t cost you much to find out and you’ve got an open view of how well other customers are doing. Where and how you can touch varies by girl and how much you’re tipping. When they first added the brighter lighting it wasn’t a good thing, but with the new girls and the better stages I’ve gotten used to it. The main rectangular stage is in the center of the club and 2-3 feet high. Nice height for 360 degree viewing and tipping. Girls will give pretty good samples at the stage for $. There are poles at each corner and one in the center that goes up at least 15 feet into scaffolding. Some dancers will do moves from up high. Saw one drop all the way down into a split which got a roar out of the crowd. There are two side stages backed with mirrors, and for the most part girls dance where and when they like and you’ll get multiple girls on all. They have a dancer rotation on Friday and Saturday starting around 1 am with 1-2 songs/dancers per set. If the girls don’t recognize you don’t expect a lot in the conversation department, but you’ll still get your money’s worth on the lap. There are a lot of bouncer types walking around but they won’t bother you if you don’t bother them. The DJ doesn’t cut songs short, is only chatty once in a while and for the most part keeps things running smoothly. But be aware the music is LOUD. There is a VIP room on the side of the club with the DJ booth and it’ll cost you $20-30 to get in there, depending on the girl and time of night. It gets a lot of foot traffic on busy nights and there are not individual booths, so if you’re the shy type you may not want to venture there. Songs in the VIP area are standard $20 topless and prices are negotiable based on the dancer and duration. It tends to be worth the $$. Fridays and Saturdays are busiest as you’d expect. Do I like this club? Yes. Would I recommend this club? It depends. If you’re the kind of guy who goes to clubs wearing a suit, do not stop by. Go to Scores up in Baltimore. If you’re the type of guy who’s a loud drunk and picks fights with people, do not stop by. Anywhere. If you get anxious in the rough parts of town or with the people you’d find there, do not stop by. Player’s Club or Showcase are probably more your speed. If you’re looking for some of the most underrated lap dances around and can blend in give it a shot. When I say blend in it means simply be cool and don’t make an ass out of yourself. Be smart. I’ve seen all creeds and colors in the place and you’ll get treated with respect so long as you give it in return.
