This is a pretty big club....

This is a pretty big club. Basically it's own little block in some out of the way nook of Raleigh not too far from the highway. When I got there it was mid-afternoon, and the day shift girls were not lighting the world on fire to put it mildly. The club is pretty dark on the inside, but not so dark you need shin guards or a helmet.

I sat up at the bar at first, which is directly to your left when you walk into the main stage area. There is a huge wall mural above and to the left of it, which helped give the place classy type of feel but clashed a bit with modern looking stage arrangements. After not really getting any attention there I wandered out into a sea of tables. There are several different stages around, at least three as I recall, but the main stage is directly in front of the bar and laid out as a large octagon. I'd say the thing is a least 5 feet high, and the dancers walk onto it from a staircase that leads up to small second level area. Think there's another set of steps on the far side of the bar that lead back down. There are two small staircases from two sides of this stage down to the main floor, and you can tip at either one. Similar to Chesters you'd better hang on to the hand rails when you walk up with your dollars. You're going to get bumping and grinding up there. Not quite as nice as the stage action at Chesters but not bad for a dollar.

So I'm sitting at a table near the center of the club (bunches of small round tables with round plush chairs) and have clear view of a huge flat screen TV that is positioned behind the dancer on stage. What a great idea. Most of the customers were at tables on one of the two raised seating areas on the far left and rear wall, but to me I had the best seat in the house. Too bad they only had soccer on the main TV above the stage. Satellite stages were set up between two of the seating platforms in a corner and at the end of the far platform opposite the main stage. Dancers I remember, Lilly was a red head with a good body. Mina was kinda hot with long dark hair. Almost got a dance from her but the personality was little off when I went up to tip. Considering it was three in the afternoon there were a decent number of customers and dancers. It took a while for the dancers to get over to me, though, and I didn't hear a chirp until I started tipping. Then I couldn't get any peace, so pick your poison. Andy the bartender was nice looking enough, but not much in customer service department. Most of the clubs around don't open until late afternoon or evening, so I'd planned to sit in here for a bit but was getting bored.
