50/100

Shopping plaza bikini bar with two rooms, decent daytime cover deal, mixed dancer quality.

4Play is a bikini bar with a split layout—sports bar on one side, stage area on the other—that draws a steady neighborhood crowd. Daytime cover is free or $5 with a drink ticket; nights run $10. Reviewers consistently praise the affordable drinks and friendly dancers, but also note sparse stage action, uneven talent (mostly 5–7 range, curvy-heavy), and inconsistent quality night to night. The dimly lit room and worn furnishings don't help, though recent renovations improved the stage itself. Best for an afternoon pit stop or a low-stakes VIP session if you find the right dancer.

62/100

Strip mall spot across from dog track; free/cheap parking, dimly lit, split sports bar and stage area.

Tucked in a strip mall across from Derby Lane dog track, with free parking and easy access. The layout is unusual—a mini sports bar with pool tables, darts, and TVs on one side; the main stage area with a small, foot-high stage and worn seating on the other. Reviewers note it's dimly lit and cramped, with limited main-stage seating because four large booth areas (meant for groups) sit mostly empty. Privacy in the VIP rooms is decent, but the overall vibe is functional rather than polished.

Bartenders friendly, door staff basic, bar speed inconsistent, cleanliness spotty—decent enough for a casual stop.

Bartenders and dancers are consistently described as friendly and engaging, with no pressure to buy dances—you have to ask. Door staff collect cover without incident. Bar speed is average, and cleanliness is a weak spot; multiple reviewers mention the place feels unclean and note cigarette smoke. Safety in the VIP backrooms is a concern (low lighting, no cameras reported). Not hostile, but not attentive either.

Cheap drinks ($5 beer/mixed), reasonable bottle prices, linked restaurant next door, no real food inside.

No kitchen—this is a bar only. Drinks are genuinely cheap: $5 beer and mixed drinks, bottles around $99–100 (Goose). There's a connected restaurant next door with internal access; you can order food and bring it in. No cigars or hookah reported. The value on drinks is real, and the restaurant link is a genuine convenience.

Mostly 5–7 range, curvy-heavy roster, sparse stage action, VIP dances $100–150 for 15 min, hit-or-miss interaction.

Roster is mixed: mostly 5–7 range, curvy/BBW-heavy (70% Black and Hispanic), with a few slimmer dancers mixed in. Stage action is sparse—reviewers report long stretches with no one dancing, and when they do, it's often bikini-only with minimal contact. Dancers are friendly and eager to upsell VIP ($100–150 for 15 min, $25 per song). Quality and effort vary widely night to night. One reviewer noted a dancer in a wheelchair who stood out. Interaction is decent one-on-one, but professionalism and stage energy are low.

80/100 SW score
Solid night out I was a bit skeptical about 4Play Lounge at first, but the laid-back atmosphere and affordable drinks won me over. The pool tables were a great addition, and the parking was a breeze. Definitely a solid choice for a casual night out.

Mixed bag We came to 4Play Lounge for a bachelor party and had a decent time. The VIP rooms were a great touch, and the drink prices were super reasonable. However, the cleanliness was a bit of a concern, and the dancers seemed a bit disinterested. Overall, it was a solid choice, but not without its flaws.
40/100 SW score
Safety concerns I'm not sure what the appeal is to 4Play Lounge, to be honest. The atmosphere seemed a bit seedy, and the dancers seemed like they were just going through the motions. The only redeeming quality was the affordable bottle prices, but even that wasn't enough to save this place from its overall lack of class.
