Blown Away by the Dancers I brought my friends to Cloud 9 for our bachelor party and we were all blown away by the talent. The drinks were priced fairly and the atmosphere was electric. We had a private dance room and it was well worth the extra cost.
70/100 SW score
Good, Not Great I'm a regular at Cloud 9 and it's always a decent time. The dancers are usually friendly and the drinks are strong, but the atmosphere can get a bit stale after a while. Overall, it's a solid choice for a night out.
50/100 SW score
Not Impressed I'd heard mixed things about Cloud 9, but I decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately, the dancers were all a bit too focused on the VIP tables and the music was way too loud. Maybe I just caught them on a bad night.
