Additional Information
[SIZE=2]I was in Richmond for the weekend, and we decided to hit a strip club to check out the local talent.
Overall a decent experience @ Richard's, with only a few minor gripes :
- Virginia laws are strict on dancers and patrons alike, so this is little more than a go-go bar. Pasties at a minimum, and dances are done fully-clothed.
- Drinks are reasonably priced, but no prices are listed. I believe it was $3 for a domestic beer. No hard liquor (again due to harsh legislators).
- No prices listed for dances, either.
- Sign was not lit up, building looks derelict from the outside - we drove past the place once, even though the driver was a local that had been here before.
- DJ's "announcer" voice was annoying and difficult to understand.
One major gripe :
For private dances, you have to buy a ticket from the bartender - can't give money directly to the girls, or request a dance directly, and nor do the girls actively solicit these dances, because of this mechanism (this, again, may be tied to very strict 'decency' laws in Virginia, and true of all local clubs). This forces the patrons, who are typically (in my experience) not outgoing in these clubs, to step up and say what they want, and they have to know the dancer's name, which can be hard to understand over the music. I have a strong feeling that this cuts back on the number of dances that are given in the club, and ultimately the amount of revenue that the girls can make here.
There are good things about the club, though!
- Great choices of music - mostly Classic Rock & Heavy Rock, but all stuff that kept the energy levels up, and for the most part very good to dance and sing along with.
- All the girls (except one that I would name if I caught her stage name) were energetic, athletic, beautiful, and seemed enthusiastic about their work. Most were great to watch, and a couple were impossible to take my eyes off of.
- As I mentioned before, reasonably priced drinks, and reasonable cover charge. Also an attentive waitress with a great personality (and a killer sleeve tattoo).
- Pool tables available, for a nice mixed and casual atmosphere (can't really see the stage from the tables, though).
- Food also available - typical bar faire.
I have to give special recognition to the dancer known as "[SIZE=4][COLOR=Red]Vixen[/COLOR][/SIZE]" -- thru the entire night, she continually outperformed the other girls there, taking risks with her dancing that many girls don't. She also never stopped showing that beautiful smile of hers, and took the time for a great conversation after a private chair dance at the end of the evening. Great body, great ability, outstanding personality. Even though the club was only so-so overall, I'd go back any day to see her again.
Apparently this club is one of the cleaner/less-sleezy in Richmond, so if you're picky about that kind of thing, I'd stick with Richard's.[/SIZE]
