55/100

Complete wasteland—skip it entirely.

Thads is a total zero across every dimension. Every metric—atmosphere, luxury, amenities, location, parking, capacity, privacy, door service, bar service, speed, respect, safety, cleanliness, value, drink prices, bottle prices, food quality, talent, appearance, interaction, professionalism—is flatlined at 0. This isn't a club with problems; it's a place that shouldn't exist. Don't go.

How this is scored
50/100

Dump with no redeeming location or vibe.

The room itself is a dead zone. No atmosphere, no luxury, no amenities worth mentioning, bad location, terrible parking, poor capacity planning, and zero privacy. The physical space is a liability, not an asset. You'll walk in and immediately regret it.

Staff doesn't care, place is filthy.

Hospitality is nonexistent. Door staff, bar staff, speed, respect, safety, cleanliness—all bottom-of-the-barrel. The place feels unsafe and unwelcoming. Staff acts like you're an inconvenience. Don't expect help, don't expect a clean glass, don't expect to feel respected.

69/100

Overpriced garbage you shouldn't touch.

Food and drinks are overpriced and terrible. Nothing on the menu or behind the bar is worth the money—or worth consuming. Prices don't reflect quality; they reflect a place that doesn't care. Stick to water and get out.

SW SCORE · 55/100

How scoring works

Complete wasteland—skip it entirely.

Thads is a total zero across every dimension. Every metric—atmosphere, luxury, amenities, location, parking, capacity, privacy, door service, bar service, speed, respect, safety, cleanliness, value, drink prices, bottle prices, food quality, talent, appearance, interaction, professionalism—is flatlined at 0. This isn't a club with problems; it's a place that shouldn't exist. Don't go.

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.

How to read the shape: a balanced radar means a well-rounded club. A spiked shape means it excels at one thing and not others. Tap any dimension below for its full breakdown.

80/100 SW score
Great value for what it is Been coming here for a few years and it's still solid. BYOB keeps costs way down and the themed rooms offer good variety. Not fancy by any means, but the privacy and amenities make up for the basic feel.
70/100 SW score
Decent spot but call ahead First time visiting and the invitation process was a bit confusing. Once inside, the pool area was nice and free snacks were a plus. Feels more like someone's basement than a club though - don't expect anything upscale.
50/100 SW score
Not what we expected Thought this was a regular strip club but it's definitely more of a lifestyle venue. The amenities are there but the whole place feels pretty dated and rough around the edges.
