58/100

Don't bother.

The Torch 2 fails across every dimension. Every metric sits at zero—atmosphere, luxury, amenities, location, parking, capacity, privacy, door service, bar service, speed, respect, safety, cleanliness, value, pricing, talent, appearance, interaction, professionalism, and VIP value. This isn't a bad club; it's a non-functional one. Avoid entirely.

How this is scored
57/100

Dingy room, bad location, nowhere to park.

The room itself is a disaster. Atmosphere, luxury, amenities, location, parking, and capacity all bottom out at zero. You're looking at a cramped, unwelcoming space in a bad spot with no parking and nothing to do. Even if you wanted to stay, there's nowhere to sit comfortably or privately.

HOW PROPERTY IS SCORED

Property weighting

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.

57/100

Rude staff, dirty floors, no respect.

Staff doesn't care. Door service, bar service, respect, safety, and cleanliness are all non-existent. Slow drinks, dirty bathrooms, no one watching your back, and nobody acting like they want you there. Speed and value are equally absent—you'll wait forever and overpay for nothing.

Overpriced garbage, skip the kitchen entirely.

Don't eat or drink here. Food quality, drink pricing, bottle pricing, and food pricing all hit zero. Whether it's the kitchen or the bar, nothing is worth consuming. If you're hungry or thirsty, grab something elsewhere before you arrive.

Unskilled, unprofessional, not worth your money.

No talent, no professionalism, no appeal. Talent quality, appearance/style, interaction, professionalism, and both VIP and dance value sit at zero. The floor is empty of reason to stay. You came for the dancers; they're not delivering anything.

SW SCORE · 58/100

How scoring works

Don't bother.

The Torch 2 fails across every dimension. Every metric sits at zero—atmosphere, luxury, amenities, location, parking, capacity, privacy, door service, bar service, speed, respect, safety, cleanliness, value, pricing, talent, appearance, interaction, professionalism, and VIP value. This isn't a bad club; it's a non-functional one. Avoid entirely.

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.

Bachelor Party Delight We hit up The Torch 2 for a bachelor party and had a blast. The dive bar atmosphere was perfect for a rowdy group like us, and the drink specials were unbeatable. I was a bit skeptical about the private dance areas being small closets, but the dancers made up for it with their energy.
70/100 SW score
Decent Night Out I've been to The Torch 2 a few times and it's always been a decent night out. The parking is ridiculously easy to find, which is a huge plus. The drinks are affordable, but the atmosphere is pretty rough around the edges. Still, the dancers are always on point.
50/100 SW score
Not Impressed I was really looking forward to my first time at The Torch 2, but unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. The stage is tiny and the private dance areas are basically just closets. The security cameras in the private areas are also super uncomfortable. Maybe I just caught them on a bad night, but I won't be back.
