Mixed bag with some bright spots.

Compound Cabaret's got some redeeming qualities, but they're not enough to make it stand out. The property's a mixed bag – it's got a decent location, but the parking's a nightmare and the luxury's non-existent. Overall, it's an okay spot to grab a drink and catch some performances, but don't expect much else.

Tasteless food and pricey drinks.

The food at Compound Cabaret is a major disappointment. The quality's subpar and the prices are steep. The drink selection's not bad, but the bottles are overpriced and the cigars/hookah are a joke. If you're looking for a good meal, keep looking.

Talented dancers, but professionalism's a joke.

90/100 SW score
Party Time Compound Cabaret was the perfect spot for our bachelor party. The VIP rooms were a great value, and our private dance room was worth every penny. Drinks were a bit pricey, but the dancers made up for it.
60/100 SW score
Middle of the Road I've been to Compound Cabaret a few times, and it's always been a solid experience. The performers are diverse, which I appreciate, but the luxury feel is lacking. The parking lot is convenient, at least.
50/100 SW score
Not Impressed As a first-timer, I was hoping for a more upscale atmosphere, but Compound Cabaret felt like a mid-range club. The drink prices were steep, and the location wasn't exactly convenient. Maybe I just went on a bad night?
