An update!
I've been back to Sugar 44 several times. Of all the bars I've patronized and worked at, this is my favorite. They appear to be actively hiring more of a variety of dancers; they're still friendly (even when I have to decline some up-close action) and hot, so yay on that score. I've never seen the staff be less than professional, nobody has tried to roofie me or frog-march me to the Wells ATM next door. They do have their own ATM on site, but the limit is ridiculously low ($200) and the fee is ridiculously high ($8), so bring your own cash.
