Sinsations. Do not make the same mistake I made. . . .
Visiting from out of town, I thought I'd try Sinsations for my afternoon in the JAX area. I can say that this wasn't my finest hour as I. Really got played and while I can't really call her a ROB, I'm going to describe what went down and you all can decide for yourselves.
First off, this club has a smallish free parking lot just off of the west side of Philips highway on the cross street of Emerson. There was a $7 cover charge for the day but there didn't seem to be a drink minimum (and since it was the middle of the afternoon, I would have only gotten water anyway). I sort of sidled up to the stage where a nice looking girl with long black straight hair, smaller B tits with pierced nipples and a very PAWG sort of bottom was dancing. I sat down and she said, it you tip, the clothing comes off. So I gave her $5 dollars (based on what others have reviewed is the "getting naked" price on stage dances) and sure enough, the bikini came over revealing a very nice appealing pussy and butthole that she was spreading inches away from my face. She said her name was Ryan / Rianne (sp? After the relatively brief show on stage, we went to the bar where she told me about the dances in the back.
I have to admit I was pretty stunned by her show and, since I was sort of pressed for time, I listened to her spiel. She said that there were $30 dances in the back common area and $50 in the "private area" but she charged $35 dollars for the $30 dollars dances. As I was thinking, she said "let me show you the area" and so she took me back. The $30 dollars section is a row of about 5-6 booths that have dividers at sort of shoulder high level. There are two "private" booths that a a bit larger in the back and there are "beads" that separate the two areas. There was no one there when we went back so we went for the $30 area.
Here's where I messed up. We agreed on the type of dance and an appropriate tip but I failed to ascertain whether or not the number of songs were included or not. She ultimately delivered the agreed upon dance but she drew out the number of songs, and some how the 4 songs we did stretched to five (second mistake, I did not ask after each song was done).
Here's where I place her in a borderline ROB category. When she pulls out her calculator to tell me the total for her dance (at which time the 4 dances becoming 5 was already a foregone conclusion) she says "don't forget my tip! I looked at her and said you already figured in your tip when you charged me $35 dollars in the $30 dollar dance room. She says, "oh, yeah". Then I pay her and she counts the money and says "you owe another $100". And I say, no, I counted it out and the amount I gave you was your calculated amount. Then she looks down on the ground and sees the $100 dollar bill that she had "dropped" and said "oh, never mind". By this time I was pretty pissed at her attitude and left fairly grumpy -- both because I managed everything so poorly be secondly because she did what she did at the end.
There appeared to be several other Latinas that were cute and I would have totally considered getting dances from them but because of this interaction, I just left the club. I hope that this review helps some of you not to make the same mistakes that I made and to watch out for this particular dancer.

Dollhouse. One good dancer prevented the night from being a bust
I got there about 8:30 pm on Monday night. The parking lot had about 6 cars in it (free parking) and I paid a $10 cover charge. The guy who took the cover charge asked if I had ever been here before and when I said "no", he said "it's $5 to get the girls naked on stage but there is absolutely no touching --and you have to buy at least one drink. " Okay, forewarned, I guess.
Anyway, I get into the club proper and there is a well-lit square-ish stage in the center of a fairly large room. With no one on it. There are female restrooms to the back on the right, males are on the back to the left and also on the left side of the room is the "bar" where all sort of non-alcoholic drinks are available. On the front side of the club, behind some two-person benches, is the lap dance area where there are cubbies with cushions, no privacy doors but dividers that go up over one's head -- all cubbies face outward to the main club and there is plexiglass on the hall walk way going back, so essentially anyone in the the main room can / could see your dances in the cubbies. It is a strange set up -- I think that if the club got rid of the plexiglass and just put solid wood up on the hallway, the privacy would be a lot better (but no one asked me).
I got a water for $4 plus 1 for tip to a large, but friendly man who gave me the water. The bathroom was large, no troll, and quite clean for a strip club. There were a total of three girls that I saw working: a not very attractive but helpful 30-ish blonde woman who directed me to the proper gender bathroom, another semi-attractive bespectacled dark haired late 20's girl-who was sitting with a customer on one of the benches the entire time I was there, and a very attractive dark skinned Hispanic 20's girl spinner with long flowing curly black hair, soft B-Cs that were natural, and a very nice butt, who was waiting for a customer to get his money out of the ATM to pay her. Nothing else was going on -- there wasn't even anyone I could give $5 to on the stage to get naked so I could NOT touch her! LOL!.
So, I sat at the bar with the large friendly man and we commiserated on how the NFL is so unpredictable this year as the Falcons were beating the Bills (I was sort of waiting for the Hispanic spinner to come by -- and she finally did. She said her name was Sophia and that she was from Cuba. She said that she usually works the 12:00 Noon to 6:00 pm shift and that she NEVER works at night but that the large friendly man (I guess he's the boss / manager) had asked her to come in tonight because he didn't have enough girls. We went and sat on the benches outside of the lap dance area and chatted. She had danced at the Doll House for about a year. We discussed her lap dances and type of dances that I like and came to an agreed price point that we both thought was fair. Unlike the experience at Sinsations where I felt totally hustled, Sophia was coy, but totally honest in her negotiations and we enjoyed a mutually satisfying experience.
By the way, I disagree with those reviewers who feel that this place physically is a "dump". I will submit that it's not as nice as Sinsations but it is a far cry from the skezzy pits in NJ or Akron, OH or Bridgeport CT. So if this is "low end", you mongers in Jacksonville have it pretty good.
In summary, I would totally recommend going in the daytime to see Sophia but were she not there this particular evening, I would have been totally bored out of my skull and could have watched the NFL at my hotel room just as easily. I guess the Doll House is just like the NFL -- totally unpredicable.
