Mixed experiences, but mostly disappointment.

Baccala's inconsistent quality makes it hard to recommend. Some aspects, like friendly staff, shine, while others, like the dirty space, are major turn-offs. Overall, it's a club with potential, but it's not there yet. If you're a fan of dive bars, you might enjoy it, but others might find it too rough around the edges.

How this is scored
31/100

A dirty, cramped space with few luxuries.

The club's atmosphere is a major letdown, with a cramped space and poor cleanliness. The location is also a drawback, with limited parking and a sketchy neighborhood. However, the capacity is decent, and the amenities are somewhat above average. If you can look past the rough exterior, you might find some hidden gems.

Some talented dancers, but not all.

Baccala's the Spot Took my buddies to Baccala for a bachelor party and we had a blast! The DJs kept the energy high and the drink prices were super reasonable. Only downside was the sketchy neighborhood, but we made it work. 4.5/5 stars
60/100 SW score
Mixed Bag I've been to Baccala a few times and it's just okay. The dancers are decent, but the atmosphere feels kinda meh. I mean, the pool tables are cool and all, but it's not exactly a luxurious experience. Parking's a hassle too. 3/5 stars
40/100 SW score
Not Impressed I went to Baccala for the first time and was really disappointed. The bathroom conditions were gross and the security guard at the door gave me the once-over, which was kinda invasive. The dancers weren't that great either. 2/5 stars
