The Paradise is my favorite club...

The Paradise is my favorite club so my scores should be judged with that in mind and they are certainly those of a customer with little dancer input.

The club is small -- I'm guessing less than 1,000 square feet. There's no kitchen -- although the first Tuesday of the month is customer appreciation night with a free spread of BBQ and fixings and all dancers on duty. I'm told there's no showers for dancers.

There's a main floor with bar, stage about six tables and a long bench running about 25 feet along the wall with tables. Behind the bench is a upper level one step up with the same bench and table arrangement. They recently added a VIP room behind the stage with a one-way mirror to the action, but I've never seen it used.

The reason for that is the club's signature feature: $10 full-contact laps. There's nothing offered in the VIP that isn't available elsewhere, and the loft offers plenty of privacy.

Dancers and customers would probably rate it as a high-mileage club. Most dancers grind and many do more. Full nudity is optional on stage, where dancers perform two dances per set, usually not losing their tops until the second dance. Tipping at the stage is minimal expect for the most popular dancers.
