Syn Opening Night was Alright!
For those wondering about Syn. I checked it out Opening Night, 8:30 p. Relatively safe area with street parking and a valet lot. Friendly security, license check (no scanning), light frisk and $10 to the pretty entry girl. Entered a large, well lit, and nicely renovated rectangular room. Grey / beige carpet, faux alligator booths, and fabric chairs. Bar with high-backed stools along the right side. Elevated rectangular stage with 3 poles. (U) shaped booths on the opposite wall. Clean bathroom to the right and VIP area down a far end hall. Syn is non-smoking, so you won't smell like an ashtray afterward.
40+ surprisingly slim and attractive girls, some dancing for customers with 3 always on stage. Many were new (to me) - Majority white, followed by black and sprinkling of Latinas. $10 nude floor dances with some touching. No straddling, but nice forward-facing moves and reverse grinding. Music was a mix of hip hop, light rap, and club tunes. It didn't start out loud, but later got deafening. Songs started running together, as well. Be sure to count dances, so you and your babe are on the same page.
Drinks are expensive - $14. Waitresses frequently check in while at the booths. Could be good, if you're looking to indulge for a while with your girl, but I found the intrusion off-putting. Food may be available, but I saw no menus nor anyone eating.
Regarding more privacy, there's a $100 one-time charge for an all-night accessible shared room with LDs still $10. It could be a nice option compared to the exposed and crowded main floor. For those seeking VIP, there's one curtained room at the end for $80/30 minutes and whatever to the girl.
Overall, I think Syn is off to a better start than the other two recently opened clubs, Onyx and Allure. IMHO, this is the first newer club to capture a welcoming party feeling. It's more like Pink Pony or Tattletales, with very attractive girls hanging around groups of guys, laughing and drinking, having a good time. It helped that the bar was large, with competent and attractive female bartenders. Made it a fun place to sit. Also, the male club staff was polite and welcoming, including the floor managers, two door guys, and bathroom attendant.
Whether they can keep it going is anybody's guess. But so far, so good. I'll be back.
