I was recently in Chicago for business and decided to try a new place. This club has been around for a year or so and run by the same people that run Polekatz outside of chicago (which I have never been to).

I used a coupon off their website which gave me free admission so I do not know what they normally charge. This club is a small to medium sized club. Once you come in, their is a bar to your right and the dj booth tow your left. The stage is in the middle and chairs and tables surround it. There are stools at the bar and lapdance cubicles are to on the back of the wall on the other side of the dj booth. There are also champagne rooms or maybe just a champagne room in the far back corner. everything in this club is pretty new and nice. The floor staff is friendly and the bar tenders are pretty good. The prices for alchohol seemed pretty reasonable and they were running specials on drinks when I was there. The girls at this club are mostly white and reasonably young. All the dancers I spoke to were in their twenties. There were also a few black dancers. Lap dances in the cubicles are $20. I was quoted that the champagne room was 150. In this club, girls wear pasties to cover their nipples. When i was there, they kept on their bottoms. I had a few lap dances and they were fine.

While this club is nice and new, the big problem is that it is really far away from Chicago. If I had thought about it, I may have not made the trip. This club is on the far eastern side of Gary and so takes about an hour to reach from the loop. When driving out, you pass by all the clubs in Harvey (like Club O) and many of the clubs in NWI like Industrial Strip. I do not know if it is worth the extra time in the car. Also, for comparison, the Industrial Strip seems to have more dancers, is a little larger, and has cheaper lapdances. Also, at IS, the dancers do get completely naked. The only real advantage then is that Polekatz serves alcohol. But so does the polekatz in Illinois and Club O and they are both closer to downtown chicago.

This is a fine club but really only an option for people more local to it.
