First-Time Patron Experience at the Peppermint Hippo
I recently visited the Peppermint Hippo in Maumelle, and I have to say, it was a unique and memorable experience. As a first-time visitor, I was immediately impressed by the attentive security staff. They complimented my outfit, checked for weapons, and even offered a wand search. The door girl was pleasant, and I appreciated the military ID discount. The original cover charge is $10.
Upon entering, I was informed of the club's rules, prioritizing the safety and comfort of the dancers and patrons. The no-touching policy and clear communication of expectations ensured a respectful environment.
The ATM fees are $10 per use, so plan accordingly. Conveniently, the club offers singles at the main entrance. I enjoyed performances by five talented and beautiful dancers, and I happily tipped all of them. The dancers were friendly, approachable, and appreciative of the support. There were 2 black women and 3 white women on the floor, they looked like they were enjoying themselves. The Peppermint Hippo has a strict dress code for the dancers, requiring pasties but allowing toplessness during their sets. When complete with their set they thanked me and they went back to the male patrons they were tending to. There were 1 to 2 dancers per male patron.
As a non-drinker, I appreciated the availability of non-alcoholic beverages like Red Bull. They charge $6 for basic beverages.
Lap Dances start at $25. The VIPs start at $90 for a couple, $250 for a party of 4, $500 for up to 8, and $1,300 for 10. These deals included a tab, reserved seating, and a personal host. The DJ played R&B, Trap, Hip-Hop, and some EDM here and there. The dancers seemed more annoyed by him than anything else.
Overall, I found the Peppermint Hippo to be one of the safest places I've ever been to, thanks to the vigilant security staff. I plan on returning for a lap dance and highly recommend this club to others looking for a fun and secure environment.
