The Elite Gentlemen's Club

The Basics:
-$5 cover.
-$5 for a Yuengling, $4.50 for a Bud Lite
-Dance $?  Can't say, but I may have heard $20.
-Full Nude.

First let me say:
  Too.  Many.  Black lights.   Even for a strip club.  

  The Elite Gentlemen's Club is located in downtown Charleston on the second floor of a building directly across from the public library (which might provide more entertainment value.  Besides, when is the last time you read a good book?)  It's about the size of your typical neighborhood bar.  The stage is at the back, the bar runs half the length of the left side, and a VIP/couch dance area takes up the front part of the building.  Remember those black lights that I mentioned?  Most of these are above the bar while the stage itself is relatively poorly lit.  So your fellow patrons will glow with the evidence of spilled mustard (RIP Mitch Hedberg) while you strain your eyes for a peek at the woman looking completely blase on stage.  I stopped in on an off night, but still, at least feign a little enthusiasm!  Honestly, I was bored and left rather quickly while setting a personal record for least amount of money spent at a titty bar ($11)!  The copious number of signs stating the no-touching policy lead me to believe that contact during a dance would be one-way at best (maybe even an air-dance?).  Anyway, curiosity satisfied.  I probably won't go back if I ever end up in Charleston again.
