All-around disappointment.

The Flame is a club that fails to impress. Its low scores across the board show a lack of focus on key areas. Overall, it's a forgettable experience, but fans of live music might find some entertainment value.

How this is scored

Underwhelming experience.

The property scores are lackluster, with a mediocre atmosphere and a terrible location. The parking situation is decent, but it's not enough to redeem the club's overall lack of luxury and amenities. If you're looking for a high-end experience, look elsewhere.

Friendly staff, but overall service falls flat.

The service has some bright spots, with friendly door staff and a decent bar service. However, the speed is slow, and the respect shown to patrons is lacking. Overall, the service feels unpolished and unprofessional.

Awful food and drinks.

The food and drinks at The Flame are an unmitigated disaster. The quality is terrible, and the prices are outrageous. It's clear that the club is not prioritizing its kitchen or drink menu, and it shows in the final product. Unless you're a die-hard fan of bad food and drinks, stay away.

Great talent, but poor overall experience.

The performers at The Flame are a highlight, with great talent and a good appearance style. However, the interaction with patrons is lacking, and the professionalism of the staff is subpar. If you're looking for a good dance experience, you might find some value here, but be prepared for a mediocre overall experience.

Bachelors' Bash We rented out the VIP room and had an absolute blast. The dancers were top-notch and the bottle service was worth every penny. The parking situation was a bit of a hassle, but it was worth it for the night.
70/100 SW score
A Mixed Bag I've been to The Flame a few times, and it's always a decent night out. The atmosphere is great, but the drinks are a bit overpriced. The dancers are talented, but sometimes they can be a bit standoffish.
40/100 SW score
Not Impressed I went to The Flame on a Tuesday night and was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the crowd was pretty sparse and the dancers weren't as talented as I've seen at other clubs. The value just wasn't there for me.
