This place isn't BAD, although a "7" ranking may have been a little generous. I worked here for a short time but realized I could really do better at other places, just because there aren't many customers and most aren't incredibly willing to drop money. I started working right when Deja Vu took over, and so tip-outs are now VERY high and the management is different. A lot of the girls complained 24/7 about this change, but I got the sense that it was partly because they were doing a lot of extras before and now had to tone it down. There are a lot of pretty girls here but there's also a few who aren't. For the most part, a lot of the girls don't really hustle and just rely on their looks, so if you've got looks AND sales skills going for you, you're in. I did pretty well here but I definitely had to hustle. One can buy a lapdance ($25- in a main, wide open room), a topless dance ($50- in a private metered room in the back), or a full-nude ($100- in the back or upstairs- private metered room). One good thing I will say about the club is that, for some reason, it sells its VIP well. A full nude dance upstairs costs $100 and I sold more of these than actual lapdances (a LOT more). There's three possible shifts one can take: day, swing, or night, so the hours aren't really that intense (4-5 hours), which can work for or against a dancer. They've let me go in for a swing shift and stay all the way through to close though... I think it just depends on how nice you are towards the mgmt. The club itself looks very nice inside- the stage has a double-runway thing and lots of poles. There's a large screen on the other side of the room that plays cheesy-as-all-hell porn, and there's some private booths for "exclusive customers" (to which of course, the girls always immediately flock). The lapdance area and topless rooms are well hidden from the main floor. Most of the girls here are generally pretty nice and I got along well with them, but like any other place, there's a few that aren't. This place seems like a HAVEN for drug sales though- a lot of the girls sell drugs, and guys were approaching me ALL the time for "party favors". Any strip club will obviously have its seediness, but this was a bit ridiculous.... ah, oh well. Also, a lot of the girls will grab a guy as soon as he walks into the club and ask to give him a "tour", then shove him into a private room and give him a "free" dance, then demand that he pays. This leaves the customer bitter for the entire night, making it difficult for the rest of us to hustle even more money out of him. I would say that because Deja Vu took over it's by no means as terrible as MSC, but it definitely isn't the classiest of places, which is ultimately why I decided to leave. Plus, most of the guys aren't ones who are gonna shell out cash, though don't get me wrong- there are a few that do.

Additional Information
I just worked here for about a month, my first experience ever as a dancer. You can make money here, but you really have to hustle. There is a wide variety of customers from local businessmen looking to relax to tourists wanting to have fun to young gangstas who don't know how to tip or be polite. It helps to be Asian, as there are only 4 or 5 of us in the club and a lot of customers come in with yellow fever. It is reallllly slow in the daytime, averaging about one or two customers per hour until 8 or 9 pm, but only a few girls work during that time, so you can still make ok money - about $200 on average, after club fees. Weeknights are better. Friday and Saturday nights get really packed and I have a foggier idea of the average earnings then, but if I got my hustle going I would make about $500 from lapdances, plus a certain number of tips. Most customers do expect plenty of two-way contact. Standard fully-clothed, minimum one-way contact lapdances are $20 in a semi-public room. $40 gets you topless and $80 is nude, both in private booths with grinding and two-way touching. Management takes 25% of all lapdances and there is a new rule at all the Deja Vu clubs in SF that they must collect an additional $10 from your first 12 dances of the night. This gets dropped to 10 or 8 dances for "good behavior" such as showing up on time, doing promos, etc. The only people you tip are the DJ and the bouncer who walks you to your car, so that's not too bad. They do report all your lapdance money to the IRS. The staff are all pretty cool, including the managers. The other girls are friendly too, for the most part, although there are a couple who think they're the shit and then there are a few who will get mad at you for making money. This is probably pretty standard though, and doesn't matter as long as there is no overt drama or violence in the dressing room, which I have never seen. They vary quite a bit lookswise, with some really gorgeous girls and then a few plain ones, and the rest in between. It's a good place to start out for sure. PM me with any questions.

This place was really nice at one point, and is now the equal to that of MSC (Market Street Cinema), besides having alot more attractive girls. If you're a classy girl that can make your money off actual DANCES then stick to Broadway. If I were you, I wouldn't venture from Broadway at all, or else you'll have the same situation. :(
