Property weighs 7 sub-metrics — atmosphere, location, privacy, parking, luxury, amenities, capacity — each scored 0–10. They roll up into the single 0–100 property score.

Signals come from verified reviews, venue data, and website text. The overall dot on the radar is the average shape across these sub-metrics.

Long narrow room on main strip; street parking scarce, two stages and bars, compact seating.

Located dead-center on Duval Street near Rick's Entertainment Complex, so you're steps from bars and foot traffic but parking is street-only and scarce. The club is long and narrow with two stages and two bars; one back section sometimes closes on slow nights. Seating is tight—mostly bar stools at stage height—so you're in the action but packed in. No parking lot, no frills, no privacy; it's a fishbowl by design.

Service weighs 7 sub-metrics — door, bar, speed, respect, safety, clean, value — each scored 0–10. They roll up into the single 0–100 service score.

Friendly staff and bartenders; quick door process, no-cover Mon–Thu, weekend cover climbs to $20.

Bartenders and door staff are friendly and efficient. No cover Mon–Thu (or $5 depending on season), $20 Fri–Sat. Security is a quick wand, no hassle. Drinks come fast. Respect is solid; no reports of hostility or disrespect. The tradeoff: it's a high-volume, party-first environment, not a lounge.

Food weighs 7 sub-metrics — quality, price, drinks, bottles, luxury, cigar, value — each scored 0–10. They roll up into the single 0–100 food score.

Cheap beer ($4–$6), mixed drinks around $8; no real food; bottle prices steep ($20+).

No food. Beer runs $4–$6, mixed drinks $8. Bottle prices are steep ($20+). Reviewers note drinks are cheaper on Duval Street itself, so grab a cocktail outside and bring it in if allowed. This is a beer-and-tip room, not a dining destination.

Performers weighs 6 sub-metrics — talent, style, interact, pro, vip, dance — each scored 0–10. They roll up into the single 0–100 performers score.

Eastern European dancers dominate; friendly but aggressive sales pitch; $20–$25 per song, full contact.

Eastern European dancers are the calling card—multiple reviewers mention Russian and Eastern European talent, often described as stunning and friendly. Roster is small (3–5 on slow days, 20+ when busy), so talent varies with shift. Dances run $20–$25 per song, full contact. The main gripe: dancers are aggressive in their sales pitch, approaching repeatedly and moving on quickly if you decline. Best to arrive early or off-peak if you want a relaxed vibe.

Each point on the radar is a dimension scored 0–100, weighted by how much it shapes a night out. Balanced shapes mean well-rounded clubs; spikes mean a venue excels at one thing but not others.

Duval Street stage dive; Eastern European roster, low cover weekdays, tight quarters.

Red Garter trades on Duval Street foot traffic and a tight, lively room packed with Eastern European talent. Weekday cover is free or $5; weekends jump to $20. Reviewers consistently praise the dancers' friendliness and looks, though some note aggressive upselling. The space is small and narrow—you sit close to the stage and other patrons—which kills privacy but feeds the party vibe. Best for bachelor groups and casual drinkers who want stage entertainment without pretense.

SW Score is a weighted composite across four dimensions — property, service, food, and performers — measured across 27 sub-metrics and a separate value score.

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.
