The Cricket Lounge is a local strip club in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There seem to be quite a lot of strip clubs in this part of the world. I have now visited several and can report on my findings. As far as adult entertainment and the overall environment goes this area is definitely no Amsterdam or Pattaya Fun Town by any means. Still in a country where repressive anti-sex attitudes prevail in the public sphere it is nice to be able to walk in off the street and see a fully nude woman spread eagle.
The Cricket Lounge offers that if little else. A mural style painting on the side of the building gives the indication that something is going on inside. Both clubs are located in urban areas and have nude dancers but they are otherwise worlds apart. While neither place is a destination I do find the Cricket Lounge here to be the superior of the two.
That is about normal in the United States. A positive note is that the cover charge is actually waved before PM. This is a good thing and many other clubs could learn from it. It saves customers who show up early from paying only to enter a slow party that is just getting started. It is very disappointing to pay to enter a place only to find out that nothing is really going on inside. Past the bouncer who works the door there is a small seating area with a bar on one side of the room.
Just past that the floor opens up to what is a fairly large stage. There are seats all along the front of the stage where you can get a really good view of the ladies. They bare it all at this place so there is a lot to see. Especially when the dancers do a doggy style head stand.
This is something that the amateur gynaecologists who used to bring their flashlights to New Hot Point would surely appreciate. The Cricket is big enough but there are only a couple of actual dancers inside. There might be just 4 or 5 ladies dancing on any given night. Perhaps the numbers are higher at the most popular times. In any event the gals seem to be in their twenties and relatively fit and attractive.
