An almost worthless club. While the building is large, clean and nicely appointed, management is about as competent as Bush administration rejects. I was there on a Friday afternoon. There were four dancers wandering about the room. One was a heifer and the others were skinny white crack ho's. During the forty minutes I was there, one dancer (the heifer) took the stage and did two dances. The rest of the time the lame DJ was trying to coax a dancer, any dancer, to go on stage, but to no avail. Given the quality of the girls, it was probably just as well.

This club seems to have picked up activity in the last few weeks. The number of dancers as well as customers seems to vary from one week to another. I sometimes visit on a weekend night which I have lately. One thing they started doing recently which I don't care for is if you byob or bring your own beer and use their coolers, they keep a $10 deposit and clip your drivers license to it. The girl at the front keeps it until you return your cooler. I heard someone may have stolen some coolers. I'm not sure what the story is or if that story is true. I would have thought the coolers are in the club and someone is watching the front door aren't they? How does someone or why would someone want to steal a cooler? I don't like this policy they have. I'm not sure what crap took place that they feel a need to require this. I thought about not visiting the club anymore due to this policy. Anyway they do have new coolers and they work which is an improvement. Ice is available at the bar.

As far as the dancers go, a few look good maybe several on a busy night. There often seems to be a few less desirable dancers working here as well. As far as nude clubs go, this may be the only one and best one in the upstate of south carolina. Maybe there are others but I haven't heard about them. Oh, there is one down the road from this one but the last time I visited there, the stage was a little square about 2 inches off the floor. That was a few years ago though. I like seeing the dancers up higher while sitting in a comfortable chair.

I went for the first time last Friday about 8:30. There were about 30 customers and maybe 12 girls working. The crowd was very mixed but with a surprisingly large number of middle age couples, and a couple groups of just 50-ish women. One couple in their 40-50s sat at stage-side the whole time I was there. Several older women occasionally went to the stage for special attention, which was readily offered. The main stage is very nice and there are two satellite stages that dancers rotate through after their main dance. Most girls got totally nude early on. One girl told me she only took off her bottoms 'in the back' and one, who was very cute and entertaining a lady, didn't take off anything. Occasionally there were as many as 3 girls on the main stage at once. In one set two girls were 69 on the stage.

The private couch dances are $30 or 2 for $50 and fully nude. Mileage varies a lot, and the girls ask for a tip if they allow any touching. About once an hour the house has a special of 2 for $40 and you get a free t-shirt or Penthouse ball cap! The girls circulate to choose/ask you if your interested during the specials. If you're after a particular girl, you'd have to hustle to get her. There were several 7s and 8s and at least one 9, but several 4-5s for balance. The first special I had was with a MILF who really would have been 10 years ago. Now she's almost a Grand-MILF. However, her opening line was "I'll be all over you", and she was. She allowed some mutual but no kitty and claimed there were cameras, which is probably true because the private rooms are very private with a door that she shut. There is a jukebox-like wall unit that you can feed with $$ if you want different music, but I just used what was playing in the main area. Girls get only $20 of the $40 for the specials.

It is a BYOB. I paid $15 to get in and I don't know if I got charged anything for my 3 beers. Overall a fun experience, and I'll go back.

Checked this club again on a recent Thursday evening. 7 or 8 girls working, one was really hot and way above average, one was terribly under par and was not getting any tips either. This is a BYOB club so be prepared, they have coolers though. Pretty nice atmosphere and nude, so good for this area of the state.

Generally 3 song sets, nude on the third but some girls get naked before the third song. If you sit upfront most girls will flash the goods on the first or second song for a tip.

I did the VIP and while touching is allowed, I didnt get any mileage. Seems like out front at $1 per visit is a better way to get a good show. I will try this place again soon !
