General impressions of "D" Spot
The exterior of the club is delapidated. The area is sketchy. The interior is better, but not well maintained.
I was not charged a cover on the afternoon I visited, but an obnoxious parking troll came around the club at one point, demanding 5 dollars from each customer. There didn't seem to be any minimum number of drinks to buy.
The dancers are all Cuban, it seemed. They ignored the customers, choosing instead to sit in groups of 3 or 4, looking at their phones. When they danced onstage, they did not strip off any clothing. When they asked for dances (again, they mostly ignored the customers), they made it clear "dance only, no mas."
Of the 10 or so customers, I was the only one who ever tipped dancers at the stage. Most of the 20 dancers were rude and cold, but one was charming and kind. She is the oldest one I noticed, but in the best shape of any of them. We talked for awhile after her set, and she wants to be friends outside of the club, with no expectations that we would progress beyond friends. That's cool; she's a nice person. Most of the people here were more hostile than nice.
Summarizing: This is a bizzare and uncomfortable club. I cannot believe the things I have read here; neither the predictions of its demise, nor the suggestions that extras are common. But it was an okay visit, only because I eventually met a nice person.
