The club is now owned and operated by a woman and also now serves hard liquor along with the beer and wine.  This Snooky's is no longer related to the other ones in other cities.

This club is in a stand alone building with it's own parking lot, with plenty of spaces.  Just park your car and enter through the front door.  That's the way I like it.

As you enter, you'll notice that there's no cover charge.  From the entrance, the stage is against the front wall, the bar is on the far side of the club, the DJ booth is to the right next to the stage.  There are 3 pool tables and plasma TV screens at the bar.  Since my last visit, the stage and bar have been improved and looks a lot better.

Stage with 2 poles and 2 monkey bars for serious dancing.

One of the first things you'll notice is that there is no lap dance area.  This is because the city does not permit lap dances.  That's the bad news.  The good news is, this forces the dancers to do a real stage show, unlike most clubs.  Furthermore, you never get bugged by dancers asking for lap dances.

On this visit, the club was still adding a new kitchen which should be open by October 2007 or so, at which time they will be serving food.  That'll be a great addition to this already Hooters-like atmosphere.

Full bar and plasma screens

Another addition is the outside patio, which is located to the left of the bar.  This is basically for smokers, but it's also a great place to hang out and talk to the dancers.  On a warm night, you could spend the entire time outside drinking and chatting.

The dressing room is now located closer to the stage and is larger than before, and includes lockers for the dancers.  The dancers seem to like the female owner, who has done a lot to improve and upscale this club.  All the dancers I met were attractive, very friendly and nice.

All in all, this is probably the only place around to get a cold one while watching bikini dancers and playing pool. Come here if you want to see real dancing on the stage and pole work.  The atmosphere here is super relaxed and you could hang out here for hours and spend only a few dollars, especially since there is no cover charge.

Don't forget to checkout my DOM for August 2007, Natalie when you visit this club.
