90/100 SW score
A Night to Remember Bandidas was the perfect spot for my bachelor party - the dancers were incredible and the atmosphere was electric. The $10 cover charge was a small price to pay for the fun we had.
70/100 SW score
Average Night Out I've been to Bandidas a few times and it's always hit or miss. The drinks are overpriced, but the dancers are usually great. This time was just okay - nothing stood out.
40/100 SW score
Not Impressed As a first-timer to a strip club, I was expecting more. The cover charge was steep and the dancers didn't seem too interested in the crowd. Maybe it's just me, but I won't be back.
