Late Night Luxury I splurged on a VIP table for my buddy's birthday, and it was worth every penny. The dancers were stunning, and the drinks flowed like water. The 5 AM closing time was a blessing and a curse, but we made the most of it.
70/100 SW score
Mixed Bag I've been to Leather and Lace a few times, and it's always a mixed bag. The atmosphere is cool, and the drinks are reasonably priced, but the dancers can be hit-or-miss. I'll keep coming back, but it's not my go-to spot.
50/100 SW score
Not My Scene I was a bit disappointed by Leather and Lace. The VIP focus is kind of overwhelming, and the prices for bottles and tables are steep. Maybe I just caught it on a bad night, but I won't be back anytime soon.
