1) Yes, it's $20 to get in and has been for a long time. Sorry you were misinformed. Couples get in free. Not sure about females alone.
2) Yes, the crowd is mostly straight but not entirely and then again there are CD/T-Girls too which are kinda in between. LOL
3) Yes, there is action in the theatre if you're there at the right times. There's even a doctor exam table in there and yes it does get used.
4) Staff is great! Customers are not the enemies like in some places. Hell, they even have regular parties.
5) They have a Yahoo discussion group:

6) To get there, get on to North Ave., turn north onto 15th Avenue (a lesser street but there's a light for it). Follow it as far north as you can (there's a jog at one point). They are on the right side a little before it ends, turn into their parking area...entry at rear.
7) IMHO 15th Avenue Adult Books aka Melrose Playhouse is the most exciting development in area ABS's...maybe EVER. Anyone who's ever wondered why is it possible to go out and get sucked by a male stranger but not a female, well your ship has cum in.'
PS...jerks please stay away. This is a very friendly place and I hope it stays that way.
