BarFly's Review of Spyce
(Space formerly occupied by Jazz de Opus/Noche/Fusion) While the deeply discounted food and dance specials ("buy a dance, get a .99 steak", etc.) may be attractive, the girls are less so, and the down right hostile service, extending from the Cerberus-like door personnel, to the surly servers, and just plain rude barkeeps, will make you feel your money is better spent just about anywhere else.
Try the Magic Gardens, instead. Two stages, two full bars.
Hours:
11am-2:30am M-F
3pm-2:30am Sat/Sun.
Specials: Monday-Thursday: $5.99 steak, 11am-3pm.
Thursdays: $5 specialty cocktails, 11am-7pm.
Fridays: $9.99 steak & lobster, all hours. Sundays: $5 Patron tequila, 1/2 price apps, all hours.
Best recession busters we've heard, yet: Buy two dances, get a 99-cent steak.
Note: Bottles of domestic beer start at $5, so caveat emptor.

Stopped by while waiting for friends. Extremely friendly, beautiful dancers. The will sit and chat with you. They only go topless but who notices. They do get up close and personal right at the stage. Great stage layout with no rail.
Usually there is some variety and most nights there's a lap crawler (those glorious creatures that crawl on your lap for singles and not 20s) and on this particular night a friendly Asian stripper with a chest too boot. For the sake of my bank account I must try to avoid the place because this one knew how to get the dollars out of me. Thank god I only had 30 minutes to kill.
I think they should mention that there is a 2-drink minimum with this $9.99 steak/lobster special, so comes to $15+tips rather than just $10+tips. No where on their printed ads in Exotic magazine or their MYSPACE site mentions this, and I would think this is false advertising, as it implies I can just get a steak/lobster dinner for $10+tips when that is NOT the case. I've been to strip clubs where you can either have 2 drinks minimum OR get a dinner and not have to worry about the 2 drinks minimum.
