80/100 SW score
My go-to spot Been coming here for months and it's like my second home. Drinks are cheap, parking is never a problem, and the bartenders know what I want before I ask. Sure, it's not fancy but that's exactly why I like it here.
50/100 SW score
Hit or miss on dancers Stopped by after work and the place was pretty empty - maybe three dancers total. Staff said they've been having issues with girls not showing up. The remodel looks decent and beer prices are fair, but hard to enjoy when there's barely anyone working.
60/100 SW score
Decent neighborhood spot It's basically a regular bar that happens to have topless dancers. Don't expect anything upscale - this is blue collar through and through. VIP starts at $25 which isn't terrible, but the talent pool is pretty limited most nights.
