the penthouse club

6/25/2010- tonight i went to the penthouse club in spartanburg, sc. it was not hard to find and located only about a half mile from I-85. plenty of parking, nice looking from the outside, you step in the door, and the receptionist is behind the counter right there in front of you. i was really kind of put off by the $15 cover charge but i was there so i paid it and after i passed buy the security waving the wand over you, i went inside. the security thing is not a big deal and a very minor incovenience and a necessary evil. the club is as nice on the inside as it was on the outside. it has a huge center stage and two side stages. the club is totally nude and i did not know this until i got there. i was supposed to meet some friends there but i was there first so it gave me a chance to take the place in and see what was going on. i hadn't been there five minutes when two girls came over and started talking to me. i had one of them lay out the ground rules for me ($10 table dance, $30 VIP, $40 two-for-one specials about once an hour-they threw in a porn video which was pretty cheesy but it was still the best deal) and the night got started. they have these girls that go around and offer "shooters" to customers which to be honest is a real annoyance. that does not qualify as a necessary evil. it was not that crowded for it to be a friday night and there were probably 20+ dancers there and all with the exception of about two or three were hot. i got one lap dance and it was just average but the VIP room was a different experience. its located in the back of the club, you pay your money to the man holding down the fort, and then you go into a room where its just you, a couch, and the dancer with the door closed. the dancer that took me back there for the two-for-one made me feel very comfortable and we had a good time and it was worth it. i stayed about 3 hours and had a pretty good time. i would and will go back
my rating for the penthouse club itself would get a 9.0
my experience at the penthouse club would get an 8.5
