Fun Night Out I brought my crew to celebrate a birthday and had a blast at Hard Body's. The private dances were fire, and our server kept the drinks coming. Only downside was the parking situation was a real pain. Overall, a solid spot for a guys' night out.

Mixed Feelings I've been to Hard Body's a few times, and it's always been a decent experience. The safety and cleanliness are definitely strengths, but the performers can be hit or miss in terms of talent. Prices are a bit steep for what you get, but I guess that's the price of luxury.
50/100 SW score
Overhyped I stopped by Hard Body's thinking it would be the next big thing, but it fell flat. The atmosphere was pretty lacking, and the performers just didn't bring the heat. To top it off, the parking situation was a nightmare. Maybe I caught it on an off night, but I won't be back anytime soon.
