80/100 SW score
Bachelors' Bash We rented a private room and had an absolute blast with the crew. The drinks were on point and the dancers were incredibly talented. The atmosphere was electric, but it did get a little rowdy towards the end.
70/100 SW score
Local's Perspective I've been coming to Palazio for years and it's still my go-to spot for a night out. The value is great considering the talent you see, but the drinks can be a bit pricey. Overall, it's still worth it for the atmosphere and dancing.
50/100 SW score
Disappointing Experience I was expecting a lot more from Palazio, but the parking situation was a nightmare and the dancers just didn't seem as excited to be there as I've seen at other clubs. Maybe it was just an off night, but I won't be back anytime soon.
