The bar has modest elegance and quite humble sophistication. Yeah, it's a dive bar, a workingman's watering hole. My bartender was about 45 wearing a top that showed her belly button floating in a sea of stretch marks. I was very disciplined about maintain eye contact. As we were talking, she told me the right way to order a Crown and water so she could burn it and keeps the price down. I appreciate that.

The strippers are very much on the low end. Now I know where strippers that can't make the cut at John's Wets Spot go. Pretty much the 4 strippers I saw were mid 30s, over weight and fugly. Not exactly anything I want grinding on me.

One of them approached me and all I could think was how good the bartender starting to look. Her breath is toxic with coffee, booze and/or cigs. I just want to pound my drink and leave but its freaking nearly straight whisky.
