Went to The Blueprint at 1:30...

Went to The Blueprint at 1:30 AM after having spent some time at Babes. When I got to the parking lot I saw only 6 cars. I assumed most of the cars were in the back. I got to the front door and was charged $30 for entry (yes, $30) and no parking fees. I thought twice about it but decided to walk-in anyway as I've had some good time at the old Dirty Ratt's in the past.

When I walked in I saw only one other customer and there were only 2 dancers - one ebony and one caucasian. I figured I'd order a bottle of water while I spend some time there waiting for more dancers. When I got my change back I found out I was charged $5 for that bottle of water. I asked the bartender who confirmed the $5 price tag. In the past you only paid $1 for a bottle of water and $2 for a beer because of the steep cover charge. But now management has gotten greedy and decided to start charging exorbitant prices. Anyway, I stayed around until 2AM hoping to see other dancers. Admitted defeat with 35 hard earned dollars down the drain, I drank my bottle of water and headed home. Given this bad experience with The Blueprint, I'm not in a hurry to give it another try anytime soon.
