Mid-December field notes: Louie's
Earlier this month on a Monday I paid a mid-afternoon visit to Louie's. On the rota were: (1) Kim, a curvy, aggressive, big-breasted dancer who carried a vibrator (which I didn't care for) and gave decent mileage on the floor dance; (2) Tasha, an older, very petite white dancer who's worked at Louie's for a long time and allows good grinding; (3) Casey, a white dancer with dark hair who had ample breasts that one can play with, very pretty; (4) Lacey, a white blonde, dance was okay; (5) Naira or Naima, a white or Latina dancer in a nurse outfit, with nice breasts and a sweet attitude. Had fun dancing with her.
So some of the girls are liking this new, well-lit area where the pool tables are located. On the day shift that area is usually dead, and they'll set patrons up in the southeast corner of that room, which affords some privacy: overall not a bad solution. On this visit I did not partake of the back room. These dancers were not exactly my type, but it was a fun way to spend an afternoon. I spent $70 on seven dances with five girls and $4 for a pop ($3 + $1 tip), and maybe contributed $1-2 for the jukebox, so in total a $75 visit.
Side note: Michelle was bartending, but on a subsequent visit I found that she was dancing rather than bartending. I'm not typically into white dancers, but certain personalities attract me and Michelle seems cool as hell and really pretty to boot! On the night I found her dancing she was kept busy by other customers, but I hope to have an opportunity with her sooner than later.
Speaking of that subsequent visit, it was another weekday afternoon, but later in the week on a Thursday. I saw a nice, well-endowed AA dancer named Ginger who was initially with another customer. When she was free I took her for a floor dance (in the pool table area) and proceeded to the back room, where fun was had. Note that the back room costs $60, payable to the bartender: the house keeps $20 and the dancer is credited for $40, which I guess they pay out in cash at the end of the night. Any tip for the girl is given directly to her. Anyway just know that Ginger's a sweetie, so treat her well. All in all it was another good Louie's visit, long may they prosper!
Mid-December field report: Carl's Bar
Earlier this month, I managed to have an early Saturday morning free, which was odd for me, and as I (carefully) drove through Melrose Park and Stone Park around 3:00-3:15 am, I found that everyone was closed except Carl's Bar, located at 1735 Mannheim Road in Stone Park. I managed to find a parking spot in the strip mall lot in which the bar is located. Carl's is on the east side of Mannheim and they occupy the southernmost space in the strip mall; they close at 4:00 am. (NB: we discussed this in a different thread, but if you drive through Stone Park, know that the 30 mph limit on their one-mile strip of Mannheim Road is very strictly enforced at all times by the village police.).
There was no cover at this hour; I don't know if a drink minimum was enforced, but it didn't matter because the bartenders were extremely busy. I saw some cooking going on as well, so if one was keen on eating that seems to be available. After a couple of minutes, I then proceeded to walk the floor and see what's what. The main (ground) floor has a bar along the south wall, and then tables and bar stools in an L-shape along the south and east sides of the room with a chest-high partition separating it from the area for pool tables, of which four are available. Carl's must be the only game in town because they were busy even at this late hour and I noted 2-3 couples there as well.
Plenty of guys were enjoying floor dances, and the only ebony dancer I spied was already occupied. But eventually I found Mari, who said she's has worked at Carl's for a while; her hours are mainly extended weekends on the night shift. A tall Latina (or possibly mixed), perhaps 5'-9" with nice C cups: very shapely / curvy and pretty with smooth skin with a great attitude. I wanted to close out the night with her and we enjoyed two intimate dances before Carl's closed. (Dance cost structure is one for $20, two for $30.) I would've kept dancing with Mari had it not been closing time.
I did not go upstairs, but from Mari's description it's apparently just a similar setup (bar, tables, chairs) to the downstairs area; if my understanding is correct, there are no private areas or booths or back rooms to be had. So for those enjoying time in Melrose Park and Stone Park, just know that Carl's is a good way to wrap up the night once everyone else (Louie's, J's, et al.) closes.
I hadn't visited Carl's for years, and I wouldn't mind coming back if only to spend more time with Mari and the ebony dancer whom I had missed. This experience just reminds me that making rounds of all the clubs is worth it, if only to collect more data and observe any operational changes (hopefully for the better). Stay safe, everyone!
