Forword

Under Construction.

Aspects of Ratings: There are three aspects of each gentleman's club that is considered to when trying achieve an overall score. Primarily, we are looking at the quality of the environment, entertainment, and cost.

Environment Quality  (atmosphere, appearances, drinks, food):
Entertainment Quality (presentation, appearance, variety, personal): 
Economic Cost (cover, 2 drinks, 2 dances): 
 Rating Format: In general, the gentleman's clubs are compared against each other. Each club is compared against each other for each of the aspects itemized above. Each rating has an icon for abbreviation.
Rating Icon Grade
Much Above Average A
Above Average B
Average C
Below D
Much Below Average E
  An example, a rating of (A A D) would be reflect an above average environment and entertainment quality at (an expectantly) high cost.

Operating Definition of Metrics: Because of the high variation in environment, entertainment, and prices, the ratings tend to be a bit qualitative by their nature. For example, a Bikini club may have a very high energy atmosphere and Lap Dances to kill for. To aid the reader, a brief description of the things we look for each and how it contributes to a final rating. Also be aware that there may be some contridictions due to the nature of the clubs.
