This continues to be my bar...

This continues to be my bar of choice -- it's a strange mixture of neighborhood bar with a stripper pole. The girls vary widely, depending on the night, but usually it's a mix of 20-something black and white dancers, different body types. Some actually can dance, some are very attractive, and some you'll just wonder about. The bar is against the back wall on the left, a low stage in the middle with a few chairs around it, one pool table and an enclosed patio. Two TVs are usually showing sports.

This isn't the cleanest place in Columbus, and doesn't try to be the fanciest -- the furniture must be 30 years old. But the bathroom always has soap, and most of the dancers are friendly and not pushy. Girls wear bikinis or pasties on stage, and some nights they have 20 dancers so you're not seeing the same performers time after time. It seems, though, that the stage isn't the center of the action -- it's the conversations taking place at the bar, the pool table, the patio. They do have security and a video surveillance system, it has plenty of well-lit parking, and the neighborhood is no cause for concern.

I think you'd have to try it a few times to really get the feel of Dreamers. The bartenders are nice, and will take great care of you, especially if you tip them or buy them a drink.
