Chez Pierre's has a frequent change-up of staff, so if you haven't been in a while, there may be many new faces. Just like any dance place, there are some decent staff and some not-so decent.......last I saw, the former Avery of Shiatsu was there - really nice girl.
Costs you $10 for covercharge, two drink(non-alcoholic) minimum, $20 for private booth usage for the night, $20 per three minute song/dance until 1am, $30 per song/dance after 1am...so yes, it can be cost prohibitive. And that was in the fall, so pricing may have changed.
