I went to the "all new" Velvet Lion club last night with a girlfriend, just so we could check it out. We had heard they put $2m into gutting and revamping it from the old Eden so went to have an adventure.
First off, the GM gave us a tour. It is beautiful EXCEPT the ceiling is covered in black tarp. I'm not kidding you. I felt like I was in a really expensive garage. At the end of it he said, (verbatim) "Strippers are the cheapest people I know. They are greedy and expect something for nothing." WTF?!! Then he offered to buy us a drink, we accepted, and then he took off. Luckily we ended up getting a drink card from a different manager.
My girlfriend was pulled off a big table, and yelled at. They asked her "Who is distributing the girls?!" and pulled her off. We were told we were NOT allowed to ask for dances, just talk with the guys and let them come to us. The floor hosts dance around like rave kids and the only music they play is hip hop and house. The GM tried to tell me what dress I could wear ( I dress in a rockabilly way to stand out) and when I said it was my lucky dress he was like "Ok. I will let you wear it tonight." in a condescending oh-you-cute-little-dumb-stripper way.
We got there at 9pm, and at 4am I tried to leave and they said no. I had to lie and say I shared a car to get out of there. And here's the best part: from 9pm-4am, I made a whopping $72.
Stay away! It has also only been open for 4 days, and is ALREADY going ghetto.
