One Step Beyond

Seedy, decrepit, neglected, sleazy! A tawdry secret. Ostentatious if meant in the vulgar sense.
Its an exotic bar you wouldn’t hear about or read about. Driving past you couldn’t even tell what kind of business it really is or offers?
Bottled beers and cocktails are moderately priced, $ 5 – 6. Beer selection is minute. Its a tiny room that would normally seat maybe 50 at typical bar stools with tables. Walls are mirrored and towards the back is a short bar with one bartender.
Now I said that it could accommodate 50 people. Though its known to hold waaay more than that on its popular nights. Its an exotic dance bar. Not really a strip bar or «gentleman’s» club. Its exotic, its wild, buck at times, according to my conversation with a dancer there, on busier nights there could be up to thirty or forty women working the floor. Which sounds nuts and unbelievable. There isn’t space for all those bodies, plus all the deal hounds that have found their way into this seedy establishment. There aren’t private dances. Everything is public and in whatever space you can find standing or sitting. Its 21 and over, but I don’t remember a door guy. There is no nudity. However one of the more tawdry of ladies may flash in the hopes of a better tip. Songs are $ 10 each. Dances are done to whatever is playing on the jukebox, customers have to handle picking & paying for the music. Latin — hip hop — country. Some men just come in to watch, they’ll stand right within breathing space just to watch.
Damn raunchy. Not in a good way. Because of this the dancers suffer. There are some dirty dudes in there. Some; some; some of the women, very few are attractive. Some could even of stepped out of a music video. How they got here!!! Who-​T-​F knows. There are also those women you would want to beat away with a stick or run wildly away from.
This is why you need to find reviews before you head out!
