Ok, stopped in this afternoon. It's open, any construction is complete and they are fully stocked with booze, food and dancers.
Cover is $10 after 7. Booths are $20 (I'm guessing that starts at 7 as well). Valet is $6. My Crown and water was $10.75. They have some $7 food specials for noon to 2. They have $4 domestics and $5 premiums for MNF.
I spoke with Brian Conway, he's a manager, maybe the general manager. They're really trying to drive sales with the kitchen. They have sushi on Tuesdays. December 10th they're having a big game buffet. The menu looked great, Surf and Turf (~$60) and lamb (~$35) for instance. It's not quite as good as the Playhouse but definitely not pub grub. Did this place have top notch food before they closed?
The only time I had been here was a couple years ago. It's pretty much the same set up as I remember. The place looked great, clean and well kept. They have a nice selection of liquor, beer and wine. They've got premium cigars but it didn't look like they were in a humidor.
Oh, and the talent. Very nice looking line-up on an early Friday afternoon. Brian said they have 30-40 strippers on Friday and Saturday nights, 15-20 on week nights and 15 or so during the afternoons. I should have been getting a lapper instead of yapping with the manager!
It looks like the LS doesn't want to be in the Top 10, they want to be #1. I love that attitude. The wait staff was great. Bartender remembered my name (not a big deal but she did), bouncers greeted me as the walked by, and the waitresses said hi. Brian talked with me for half an hour, offered me some of his fruit plate, and dropped 4 passes on me.
LS will be on my radar from now on.
