Got there at 6 on a Wednesday afternoon. Not exactly the Taj Mahal, but the environment was a lot warmer and more welcoming than many clubs I've been to. No cover since I arrived before 7, and the two-drink minimum was satisfied with two Diet Cokes at $3.25 a glass. Honestly, hottest girl in the joint was the busty blonde bartender; would have loved a go with her. She gave me a free drink coupon, which was nice. The few dancers I saw were average, young looking girls with tiny tits. The exception was Sonya, a nice slightly older (maybe early 30s) brunette babe with huge melons (fake, but I don't give a shit) and some cool ink. The girls were obviously bored, and each was willing to partake in some friendly non-aggressive chat while they danced on stage -- again, a refreshing change of pace from the usual "cut-to-the-chase-you-got-money-or-what?" treatment you get at a lot of places.

I wound up taking a hottie to a private booth for 15 mins., which actually turned into about 25 by my watch. The bartender and girls were all very upfront about the basic rates ($30 for one song nude, $25 for one song topless, $60 for 3 songs nude, $55 for 3 songs topless, $75 for 15 mins. nude, $150 for 15 topless). Paid the bartender who gave me the cash to give to the hottie (again, a surprising amount of trust, especially since they knew I was a first time visitor). Dancer got a generous cut ($55 of the $75) and it was definitely a high-mileage dance. Wound up throwing her a little extra for a CBJ -- not the best I've ever had, she couldn't keep her teeth out of the way. Eventually settled for some heavy petting, fingering and a stroke off for the same price, followed by some more bump n' grind, titty sucking and amiable unforced conversation about random stuff. If I were an idiot, I could almost believe we connected; I can spot a line and typical stripper bullshit from a mile away, and I got none of that from this hottie. Best stripper experience I've ever had, honestly, and I will definitely be back.

My only gripe is the $10 ATM surcharge. Unsure if this is S.O.P. at Tampa Bay clubs, but even MSC in San Fran only charged $5 last time I was there, which wasn't too long ago. So hit the Publix or Wal-Mart before you show up and get debit cash back, or else the only thing that's guaranteed to fuck you is the ATM.
