👍👍 I am all about VIP full contact. It didn’t disappoint. Decent mix of music. Incredibly nice staff. Beautiful women. I prefer it a tiny bit more hip hop and I wish there were a couple of more thick dancers. But I can’t dock them a star because it wasn’t 100% perfect for me. I found the thickest on...

👍👍 Great chill neighborhood bar until 2am, after that it gets packed with loud lonely drunks. Prices are reasonable, DJs never disappoint, and there's a pool table upstairs.
