Underwhelming experience, but the food is decent.

Expressions in New London is a club that fails to impress overall, with some redeeming qualities. The low scores in hospitality and performer quality are notable. If you're looking for a cheap drink and some passable food, you might find it tolerable.

Limited luxury, but parking is a breeze.

The property at Expressions is a mixed bag. While parking is a straightforward process, the luxury and amenities are lacking. The small capacity and poor location don't help. If you're looking for a low-key spot to grab a drink, it might work.

The dancers are hit-or-miss, but some interaction is nice.

90/100 SW score
Solid bachelor party spot The Expressions has been a staple for our crew's annual bachelor party for a few years now. The $5 cover charge is a steal considering the quality of the dancers and the private dance rooms. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the warehouse-like atmosphere - it's not exactly luxurious.
70/100 SW score
Mixed bag I've been to Expressions a handful of times and have mixed feelings. The parking is top-notch, I'll give them that. But the bar service is hit-or-miss and the VIP area feels overpriced. The dancers are always a highlight, though.
50/100 SW score
Not impressed As a first-timer, I have to say that Expressions was a letdown. The location is a bit of a trek, and the atmosphere felt more like a dive bar than a strip club. The drinks are affordable, I'll give them that, but the overall experience just didn't live up to my expectations.
