Anybody ever check this out?

Apparently this is an every Sunday thing. I called last week and the gal told me starts at 10 but starts filling in at 11. I asked about VIP rooms & she say no but with a chuckle said "bring ones" and said there were $5 dances and no cover. 5491 Memorial Drive place called "Party Room" (in the event the link doesn't work).
In the past I've had a lot of success at these kind of places (regular clubs that have a "stripper night") just chatting up a handful of gals and getting numbers for takeout to be arranged later in the week.
I had intentions of going last week but by 10:30 last Sunday I was beat and had no energy to head over. This week I'll probably not make it over either just because of the hour and I got a early morning.
But if any of you guys are bored I'd suggest checking it out. It seems pretty low investment to me.

Being run (owned?) by Jay who worked at or managed Follies for 14 years and Layla a longtime bartender came over with him.
He wants to make the place like Follies but capitalize on the Buckhead location and be more upscale. I pointed out to him Follies had taken a shit over the last few years. He agreed and assured me the place wasn't going to be as ghetto as Follies has become at night.
He's actively hiring and assured me that if I came back I'd be impressed. He had like 3 dancers there none of them worth a second glance when I popped in.
Of note he plans to open at 11 during the week and he's doing a lunch buffet. He credits his success at Follies to introducing a buffet. I didn't argue the strategy with him (I'm not a huge fan of crappy food in a strip club but realize some guys like it).
I wished him well. It would be great to have a vibrant SC option in that location during the day.
Of note: It will be a primarily white / mixed club not a black club. They did put some coin into cleaning up the interior and it looks nice inside.
I'd say give it a couple weeks to work the kinks out of the startup but put it on your list of places to try / revisit.

Pass the dice. New shooter cumming out.
Yea, good day shift last weekend.
[QUOTE=Curt828;2179191]Actually, Follies and some other clubs allow a lot of mutual touching in the $10 table dances. No need to go to VIP for that, although you might want to for something more than touching.[/QUOTE]I was uninspired for a while and then went back, early day shift on Sat. It helps to get there early like 12-1 and then go to 5 pm. I had a great time. I was never told "no". And Gemini is back. Doesn't do too much but still good to look at. And it wasn't crowded either, I was surprised.
