A place to forget about your money, quickly.

The Catwalk of Memphis is a budget-buster, with most aspects falling short. From the unimpressive exterior to the subpar food and drinks, it's hard to find a redeeming quality. Unless you're looking for a cheap, no-frills experience, you're better off elsewhere.

How this is scored
32/100

Underwhelming experience from the outside in.

The property itself is a letdown, with a cramped, uninviting atmosphere and a lackluster location. While the capacity is decent, the luxury and amenities are nearly non-existent. If you're looking for a high-end experience, keep looking.

Don't bother with the food, drinks are a stretch.

The food at the Catwalk of Memphis is a hard pass, with subpar quality and overpriced options. The drinks are little better, with a few decent bottles but overall poor value. If you're looking for a good meal or a drink, you're better off at a different club.

90/100 SW score
Bachelor Party Frenzy Catwalk of Memphis killed it for our bachelor party. The DJ was on point, and the BYOB policy made it easy to customize our night. With drink tickets included, we were well-stocked the whole time. One downside was the lack of luxury perks – but honestly, we loved the casual vibe.

Solid Night Out I'm a regular at Catwalk, and it's always a solid night out. The dancers are friendly and attractive, but the VIP area is a letdown – it's open and not very private. The BYOB policy with a bottle fee is a good value, and the drinks are decent. Parking's a pain, but it's worth it.
50/100 SW score
Disappointing Experience Unfortunately, Catwalk of Memphis didn't live up to my expectations. The door service was slow, and the bar service wasn't much better. The lack of luxury perks and private VIP area was a major letdown. While the dancers were friendly, the overall experience felt lacking – not worth the cover charge.
