Update 8/2011:
This club appears to be closed. The review below is from 2005 when it was still Taboo.

This sister club of Taboo Anaheim and Taboo La Habra is located in an industrial business area of Arcadia.  They have parking on site with security, plus extra parking next door as well as street parking.

As you enter, there is a lobby area that is also a adult video bookstore (with adult toys, lotions, and more).  You can also buy the adult DVDs on their website.  Pay the cashier the $5 cover charge (day) or $10 after 6:30pm (or use your Z-VIP card for no cover charge).  There is a one drink minimum that you purchase later with the waitress.

Enter the club area via the door in the lobby to find the well lit stage in the middle of the room, the ATM machine (receipt reads "NationalLink") next to the entrance, the bathroom, DJ booth, and dressing room are to your immediate left, and the bar on the far left.

Lobby area with adult video bookstore and cashier

There are tables with comfortable seating all around the club, and comfortable bench type seating all around the three sides of the club opposite the entrance.  As with the Anaheim Taboo, the seating for the lap dances are behind the bench seating, hidden from general view.

In the two corners of the opposite side, there are nice alcoves with a couch for more privacy.  I think these cost extra so ask your dancer about pricing.  Let your dancer pick the couch to use because she knows which ones are better.  Some are more comfortable and secluded than others.

There are a variety of dancers from the blond bombshell to petite school girl look and everything in between.  Some of the dancers seem to be fresh girls, new to dancing, which in my book is a good thing.

All in all, this club is a cozy place for regulars as well as new visitors to check out for the stage and lap dancing.

Club		Cozy size and new.
Dancers		Nice variety with somebody for everybody.
Attitude		Good for nude club with some sitting and talking.
Nasty Factor		Sexy but nothing crazy.
