Stopped in on a Friday night. It's still not the same as it was before the bust but it has gotten better. There are some new rules but like the dancer cannot be facing you and they watch your hands more than before. It is not as crowded as before but the bathroom is still the worse in the western suburbs. Give it a little more time and I guessing it will be back to the old OSB. I've heard some of the Dancers have moved on to Carls and Louies but I cannot confirm.
Enjoy!

Before the bust, this place used to be very touchy-feely. Dancers weren't always the most beautiful, but there were enough good looking ones to make it worth your while to show up. After the bust, this place is not nearly as good. Dances used to be high quality, but now it's no-touch. I can understand that the girls and bartenders don't want to go to jail, but if you can't touch, there's no point in going here anymore. I won't be back anytime soon.

I read the previous review about a police bust and the resulting no contact rule, but I had to find out for myself. I can confirm that the rumor is true. Nothing but air! Since the facility is a dive, there is no floor show and good looking dancers always have been the exception -- all they had left were good value high contact dances. But now they don't even have that.

The bartender was pretty and scantily clad, drinks are competive with regular bars, and the dancers still don't wear pantyhose. Those are the only good things that I can say about it now. Still, I'm not giving up on this place. They have been through rougher patches than this and still came back to provide a reasonable product. Rumor has it that the court date is in early July, so I would expect great improvements within a few weeks.


Due to a recent bust here they have altered their dancing policy.....They now only "sell" air dances. If fact while I was there that was exactly how I was asked. "do you want an air dance" No thanks. I understand there is a court date sometime in early July.......Think I'll wait until after that date before going back. The place was pretty empty when I visited.
Enjoy!
