So...Rick's West? Kind of.

Several the dancers mentioned during their pitches to me that Centerfolds has "potential." And it does. The layout is decent, the location is more convenient (at least for me) and it looks like management has been able to attract ex-Ricks-and-Honeys dancers (Anna, Clarissa, Janika, that girl with the fried platinum hair etc.) The small VIP area seems nice and dark.

What Centerfolds lacks right now is energy, at least in my two visits. The mood is very tentative. The DJ shouts the dancers' names without any fanfare or excitement. The music at one point included an Irish jig (the dancer's confused look was priceless.) The $5 drink was a tepid Coke -- in the can. Perhaps in a few months this will be THE place to go. Right now, it's just A place to go.
