Don't miss the underwear party

Been going regularly for the past couple of years so it's about time I write something !! If your from out of town and planning a visit....and it's the 3rd saturday nite of the month ...this place is a must spot to visit. The underwear party and contest is about as sexy, horny and wild as the law allows !! The main fun is in the downstairs level and you must have the proper attire to enter.....either some leather jacket, vest or pants...or check your cloths in and strip down to your undies....don't worry in the course of the nite those will slip off too ..lol, !! Have fun...I have pictures of the underwear contest...just ask ....I love to share.

Great Night

Great staff and great night. Thanks to the Hole's bartender that takes care of everyone with a nice and smootky attitude. I tried the Hole, even I had no full gear. So I was asked to go down till my underwear. I did it, even if i still have extra pounds to leave. I also tried the bathtube and , that was a shower.
