The place was hopping on Friday...

The place was hopping on Friday afternoon, lots of girls and customers, keeping in mind this is not a big bar and it doesn't take much to fill it up. Good mix of girls from Latin America, Eastern Europe, Australia and good ol' USofA. Girls circulate and try to strike up a conversation before asking for a dance ($20). Heinekens $11. Pick up a free pass from the guy on the corner, good before 7 pm. Otherwise cover is $5 before 8 pm, $15 after that.

Good grindage from the right dancer. The champagne manager stopped by to introduce herself, a first, and told me about the new price structure. Before shift change at 8 pm, you can do the VIP room for 30 minutes for a little over $300, or an hour for a little over $500. After 8 pm the only option is an hour and the price goes up, didn't ask how much. Unlimited drinks I think. At these prices you're better off making the trip to Gallagher 2000 in Queens where it's $160 for 30 mins. Anyway, the champagne room has been remodeled so that there are partitions--used to be one big room. Also there is a "special" champagne room that provides total privacy for something like $1100 an hour, which I found ludicrous.
