Pinups tip in exchange for a little intel!
Newbie poster but long-time troll.
For those that want to enhance their experience at Pinups, I hope this helps. Ever since the old owner was killed Pinups been on that BS (charging for parking, cover most of the time, and half songs played by the DJ). If you hate this as much as I do, try the following method.
Wednesday nights Pinups have poker at 9:30. They have heel of a specials too: All drinks $5 bucks, including top shelf, $5 wings. When you play poker your parking and entry is free. Now what I do to get past paying $5 bucks for a 2 minute dance is the following is: 1) I arrive at poker night at about 8:30-8:45 2) I scope the scene for high mileage dances, 3) I get a dance on the main floor and tell her I only want one because I'm just early for the poker game and don't normally get dances, 4) I tell her that I'll get more dances in the VIP area at a deal rate (I normally offer $50 for 20 dances).
The VIP section is where the poker game is held. The genius of this is that the poker game never starts on time and generally kicks off at 9:45-10. The whole time there is no one back there but the bartender setting up and the tournament director who's also setting up. It's dark and there's no security so you can do what you please including extras.
All in all, I pay 50 for an hours worth of dances and the times I got extras I paid 100 total. There's no tip to the house because no one is expecting anyone to get dances in the poker area on wednesdays. Please note that there isn't too much privacy except for the beads covering the room. If you get to it at 8:45, they still have the lights off and the bartender is too busy to be watching.
I do this almost every Wednesday and then play poker afterwards.
If this is interesting to you, try it out.
On another note, I'm looking for some specifics on the SS membership spot. Please PM me if you have any intel. Be safe out there!
Smif!
