58/100

Refurbished biker bar with cheap drinks and low-pressure floor time.

Torch 2 delivers an unpretentious night out in a renovated space that trades polish for genuine ease. Reviewers praise the refurbished layout, affordable drinks, and pressure-free vibe—dancers mingle freely and don't hard-sell. The floor is hit-or-miss on talent and energy (some dancers are lively, others subdued), and it's a bikini bar with a no-touch rule, so manage expectations. Best on weekday evenings when the crowd is light and the bartender can shine; weekends can feel flat if staffing is thin.

How this is scored
57/100

Easy parking and convenient Vista location, small intimate room with stage-front seating.

Located on Vista Avenue with ample street and lot parking, making it easy to access without hassle. The interior is small and intimate—reviewers compare it favorably to the older dive it replaced, noting the stage-front seating and bar-facing layout create a cozy, ringside feel. It's not upscale or fancy, but it's clean enough and well-lit compared to many bikini bars. Capacity is tight, so it fills quickly on busy nights.

Strong bartender and cocktail staff; door and bouncer presence inconsistent.

Bartenders and cocktail staff earn consistent praise for being lively, sarcastic, and genuinely engaged—they set the tone for a fun room. Door service is spotty (some reviewers paid a $5 cover, others got in free; one visitor found no staff at the entrance). Bouncers are present but low-key. Speed can lag during slow periods, but respect and safety are solid.

Girl-next-door types, friendly but uneven energy; $25–$30 per dance, no-touch policy.

Dancers range from 4s to 7s in looks, with friendly, girl-next-door energy when they're on. Reviewers note they work hard for tips and are skilled on the pole, but enthusiasm is uneven—some are lively and engaged, others seem preoccupied with regulars or subdued after payment. Lap dances run $25–$30 per song or $50 for two (as of 2021–2023 reviews); VIP is around $250 for 20–30 minutes. The no-touch policy and bikini format limit the show, but tipping at the rail can earn mini dances. Best timing is early evening or weekdays when the staff-to-patron ratio is higher.

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.
