36/100

A total bust from top to bottom.

It's a complete disaster, with no redeeming qualities. The low scores across the board are a testament to the club's overall lack of effort. So what does this mean for you? Avoid Purple Orchid at all costs – you won't regret it.

How this is scored
36/100

You'll struggle to find a worse room in the city.

The room is a dingy, cramped space with zero charm. The low atmosphere and luxury scores are a major turnoff, and the lack of amenities only adds to the disappointment. If you're looking for a decent spot to hang out, keep looking – this isn't it.

Bland, overpriced swill that's not worth your money.

The kitchen is a sad excuse for a restaurant, serving up bland, overpriced swill that's not worth your money. The drink prices are outrageous, and the quality is subpar. If you're looking for a good meal or drink, Purple Orchid is not the place to go.

90/100 SW score
Laid-back Fun for a Bachelor Party We rolled into the Purple Orchid for a bachelor party and were immediately sold by the dive bar-like setting. The friendly dancers and staff made for a great time, especially with the laid-back atmosphere.
70/100 SW score
Not Bad for a Regular Night Out The Purple Orchid is a solid spot for a regular night out. I liked the friendly dancers and decent prices for drinks and dances, but the weak luxury and amenities left me feeling a bit underwhelmed.
50/100 SW score
Mixed Bag for a First-Timer I visited the Purple Orchid as a first-timer and was disappointed by the weak door service and bar service. The friendly dancers made up for it somewhat, but the overall experience was just okay.
