Used to live close to this...

Used to live close to this club awhile ago. I was driving through town and decided to stop in. One of the good things about this club is that it is right off the 5/405 (within a few blocks). One thing I noticed is that they don't seem to have a big backlit sign out front anymore. Maybe they had to take it down, who knows. Well, it is hard to spot from the street now. Whatever, I know where I'm going.

After paying cover, walked through the turnstile, I went to the bar for a seat. The bartender (male) was very friendly and service was good. By the way, they do the dollar parade here after the dancer does her set. Sitting at the bar does not exclude you from the parade route. They'll still ask you if you like their stage dance, maybe kiss you on the cheek. They will never outright ask for dollars, which I always thought is classy, but I also think it is funny when a new customer has no idea what is going on, oblivious to the routine. The dancers never make a big deal of it, never give you a dirty look. They smile and keep on going which is great to see. Great attitude.

The dancers go topless on stage (for one song of their set), but bikini on the floor and during the lap dances. The stage shows here are usually very good. And many of the dancers seem to make a decent amount of money just from the stage tips and floor tips (from dollar parade). Usually for this reason, there isn't much pressure to get lap dances. But tonight, there were two dancers (russian or eastern european?) who were pretty, but way too aggressive and a little desperate, literally grabbing your hand and pulling your arm to go to the lap dance area, etc. I am not used to this treatment at this club and it is probably not the norm. Anyway, after 3 different times I said no (each time took a few minutes), they finally stopped bothering me.
