Sub-metric signals are pulled from verified reviews, venue data, and website text. Each dimension rolls up into a 0-100 score, which feeds the weighted overall.

70/100 SW score
Decent spot after the rebrand Been coming here since the Sammy's days and the Pony renovation cleaned things up nicely. Parking is still super easy which is a big plus downtown. The no-contact thing is what it is due to Alabama laws, but don't expect much interaction with the dancers unless you're dropping serious cash in VIP.
50/100 SW score
Overpriced for what you get Stopped by during a work trip and paid $20 cover after 11pm. The place looks updated but feels pretty basic - not much sophistication compared to clubs in other cities. Dances were pricey for the limited contact allowed and VIP didn't seem worth the premium.
60/100 SW score
Not bad for a first visit Went with some buddies who said this place got better after becoming Pony. The outdoor smoking area was nice and we found parking right away. Staff seemed hit or miss - some were cool, others not so much.
