What's so X-rated?

The new nightclub on the block, X-bar (formerly Touch), touts itself as the country's first X-rated nightclub. My buddies and I go check it out opening night to find it no different than its predecessor. They now have more platforms for dancers sporting some decent lingerie. The bartenders are actually more covered than when the place was called Touch; although, the black corsets are decidedly hotter. And the rumored "human pet" was no where that we could see, which they apparently had before too.

So what exactly makes the place "X-rated?" In terms of movies, lingerie gets you what? PG-13 at best. Brief or partial nudity gets you and R. But X? come on. If you're going to make an outrageous claim like "the country's first X-rated," you should actually be, in some way, ...outrageous.

Nonetheless, the dancers are fun to mess with (we're nice), and the bartenders are kind of cool. The place generates a lot of testosterone, though. I prefer dealing with estrogen.

Touch Nightclub.... No more?

On our way to KROBAR, my friends and I noticed that the doors for Touch were closed and the sign has been taken off the side of the building. The place looked dead.

We knew the incident that took place there had an effect on their business when they started Pennies from Heaven night, but we didn't think their business was suffering that much. And yet, a day or two ago, a flyer comes to me about some event that taking place there... and I'm confused.

Does anyone know if they're actually closed?

Farewell Crazy Horse Saloon

I've never been to the place, but I'm sorry to see it go. If you're going to go down... in flames would be the way to do. At least you didn't end up like that bar in Rhode Island.
