59/100

East-side anchor with solid daytime bench, multiple VIP rooms, and younger roster.

Cheetah sits on East New Circle—a commercial strip with other clubs nearby—and works best as an afternoon/early-evening stop before the room gets packed. Reviewers praise the younger dancer roster, diverse looks, and attentive management (especially with groups and couples). The multiple private rooms (hot tub, VIP suite, beaded areas) and two-stage setup appeal to bachelor parties and repeat visitors. Trade-off: evening talent thins, and Saturday nights pack the room tight; arrive early or aim for daytime.

How this is scored
68/100

Well-lit back lot, two stages, tight quarters when packed; cramped Saturday nights.

Ample, well-lit back parking with security presence; metal detectors and pat-downs standard. Layout is efficient—bar, two stages, tables, and private rooms in back—but reviewers note cramped seating when busy, especially Saturday nights. The satellite stage sometimes sits unused. Back entrance offers privacy for some patrons. Location on New Circle is convenient but unremarkable; no neighborhood draw.

No kitchen on-site — drinks only

Cheap beer ($4 Sunday specials reported), decent drink menu with bourbon selection; food not a draw.

Drinks are the focus: reviewers note cheap beer ($4 for Miller Lite on Sundays), and a decent bourbon/cognac selection (a real plus in Lexington). Drink prices around $7–$7.50 are fair for a strip club. Food is not mentioned as a draw; kitchen appears minimal or absent. Bottle service available for VIP tables but pricey.

56/100

Young, diverse talent with strong afternoon shows; evening bench thins, VIP room prices steep.

Daytime and early-evening shifts feature 4–5 dancers per reviews; young, attractive, and ethnically diverse (blondes, brunettes, Latinas, Black dancers). Stage performances are solid, especially in the afternoon. Interaction is friendly and low-pressure initially. Gripe: evening bench thins fast, and VIP dance prices are steep (~$100 for 10 minutes, ~$450–$600 for 30-minute VIP room). Not a high-touch professionalism, but dancers are welcoming and willing to chat.

80/100 SW score
Bachelor Bash Cheetah Gentlemen's Club was the perfect spot for our guys' weekend. The VIP room was worth every penny, and the bottle service wasn't too bad of an expense either. Strong security presence kept things in check, but the metal detectors and pat downs were a minor annoyance.
70/100 SW score
Middle-of-the-Road I've been to Cheetah a few times, and it's always been a solid experience. The hot tub room is definitely a unique feature, but the private dance options are pricey. Parking is a breeze, and the full bar is a nice touch. Not the cheapest place, but it's worth the splurge sometimes.
40/100 SW score
Underwhelming Debut My first time at Cheetah was a bit of a letdown. The full nude aspect was a nice surprise, but the no-single-lap-dance policy was a bummer. The bottle service prices were outrageous, and the cigar and hookah selection was non-existent. Maybe I just caught them on a bad night.
