Ragtime Gentlemen's Club is a complete non-starter.

Ragtime Gentlemen's Club fails to impress in every way. The low scores across the board suggest a lack of focus on even the basics. If you're looking for a high-end experience or even a decent night out, look elsewhere.

How this is scored
56/100

Woodland Park location is a major turn-off.

The Woodland Park location is a major drawback, but the club's attempts at luxury are somewhat redeemed by its small capacity, which keeps things from feeling too crowded. Unfortunately, the overall atmosphere falls flat due to a lack of effort in creating a welcoming environment.

Door service is the only thing that's vaguely pleasant.

While the door service is friendly and welcoming, the rest of the service is subpar. The bar service is slow, and the respect shown to patrons is inconsistent. The safety and cleanliness of the club are also concerns, making it a questionable choice for a night out.

A Good Time for the Guys We came in for my buddy's bachelor party and were pleasantly surprised by the laid-back atmosphere. The drinks were cheap ($5 beers) and the dancers were...enthusiastic. Suzy was a highlight, but overall, it was a fun night out.

Mixed Feelings I've been going to Ragtime for years, but lately, it's been hit-or-miss. The parking is great, but the cleanliness is subpar. The dancers are mostly older Brazilian women, and while Suzy is still a highlight, the variety is lacking.
50/100 SW score
Not Impressed I stopped by Ragtime on a whim and was underwhelmed. The venue looks like a funeral home, and the stage is basically unused. The dancers on phones instead of performing didn't impress me, and the affordability of drinks can't make up for the lack of talent.
