A decent spot for food, but the rest is lacking.

The Golden Dragon Exotic Club has some redeeming qualities, but they're outweighed by its numerous shortcomings. While the food is a highlight, the rest of the experience falls short. Overall, it's a mediocre spot that won't disappoint, but won't impress either.

How this is scored

Some talented dancers, but overall quality is hit-or-miss.

The performers at the Golden Dragon are a mixed bag, with some talented dancers and others who seem like they'd rather be anywhere else. The overall quality is hit-or-miss, and the interaction with the dancers can be awkward. If you're a fan of live performances, you might find some gems, but it's not a guarantee.

Birthday Bash I hit up the Golden Dragon with my crew for a birthday party. We loved the multiple stages and the cheap bottle deals. The security was a bit sketchy, but we were all just trying to have a good time.

Not Bad, Not Great I go to the Golden Dragon as a regular, but it's hit-or-miss. The private booths are a nice touch, but the bathrooms are seriously gross. The drinks are okay, but not amazing.
40/100 SW score
Not My Scene I stopped by the Golden Dragon with some friends as first-timers. The atmosphere was kinda run-down and the lack of food and alcohol was a bummer. Maybe it's just not the club for me.
