A total letdown from top to bottom.

Gentlemen's Playground falls short in every department. It's a lackluster experience that fails to impress. If you're looking for a high-end strip club, look elsewhere.

How this is scored
38/100

Nothing fancy, but decent parking.

The room is nothing special, but the parking situation is decent. It's not a major selling point, but it's not a deal-breaker either. If you're looking for a club with a great location, this isn't it.

Wild Bachelor Bash We rented the VIP area and got bottle service - the dancers were all top-notch and the drinks were flowing. I was a bit worried about the parking situation, but it wasn't too bad. Overall, a solid choice for a bachelor party.

Not Bad, Not Great I've been to Gentlemen's Playground a few times, and it's always decent. The atmosphere's pretty cool, but the drinks are a bit pricey. I've had some great dancers, but others haven't been as impressive. Still, it's a solid option for a night out in Rocky Mount.

Disappointing First Visit I was really looking forward to Gentlemen's Playground, but it didn't quite live up to the hype. The line was crazy long and the dancers seemed a bit disinterested. Maybe it was just an off night, but I didn't feel like I got my money's worth.
