All-around forgettable.

Burlesque falls flat due to a lackluster atmosphere and unimpressive performers. The club's biggest misstep is its poor location and difficult-to-find lobby, which sets a negative tone for the rest of the experience. Overall, it's a forgettable night out.

How this is scored
43/100

Underwhelming lobby that's hard to find.

The lobby is a letdown, with a cramped and dimly lit space that's hard to navigate. While the capacity is decent, the lack of amenities and luxury touches makes the space feel underwhelming. If you're looking for a fancy night out, this isn't the place.

Cheap drinks and pool tables Hit this place after work with some buddies and was surprised they actually have pool tables - don't see that much in clubs. Drinks were dirt cheap at $7 each which kept us there longer than planned. The renovations look decent but it gets cramped fast when busy.
50/100 SW score
Mixed bag depending when you go Heard about the new management so gave it a shot. The bar setup is solid and prices are reasonable, but the talent was pretty hit or miss. Parking was a nightmare and the place feels tiny. Might be better on different nights but wasn't impressed this time.

Still working out the kinks Been here a few times since the changeover and it's inconsistent. The $10 lap dances sound good on paper but you get what you pay for. Zero privacy and the interaction feels rushed. Stick to the bar and pool tables if you go.
