30/100

Underwhelming experience from start to finish.

With a low overall score, Frolics failed to impress across the board. From the cramped, dingy room to the subpar service, it's a disappointing experience. Even the dancers couldn't save the show, making it a forgettable night out.

How this is scored
42/100

More like a dingy dive than a luxurious retreat.

The room itself falls short, with a dingy atmosphere and cramped capacity. The location is somewhat convenient, but the lack of parking and poor luxury amenities make it feel like a dive. Unless you're a fan of cramped, run-down spaces, there's little reason to stick around.

Terrible service, from door to bar to cleanliness.

The service at Frolics is an unmitigated disaster. From the slow, unfriendly door staff to the dirty, chaotic bar, it's a miracle anyone gets served at all. Even the value is overpriced, making it a terrible value for your hard-earned cash.

Overpriced drinks, mediocre food at best.

The food and drink selection at Frolics is a joke. Overpriced, mediocre food and drinks that are somehow even more expensive. Unless you're a die-hard fan of ripping off your wallet, there's little reason to indulge in the kitchen's questionable creations.

30/100

Some decent dancers, but overall a lackluster show.

While some of the dancers show promise, the overall quality of the show is lackluster. The appearance style is hit-or-miss, and the interaction is often awkward. Unless you're a fan of mediocre performances, it's best to look elsewhere for a more satisfying experience.

90/100 SW score
Bachelors Gone Wild We came in for a bachelor party and the girls did not disappoint. The drinks were super affordable, 8/10, but the atmosphere was pretty weak, 4/10. Still, we had a blast and the private dances were worth every penny.
70/100 SW score
Mixed Bag I've been to Frolics a few times and it's just okay. The drink affordability is a definite highlight, 8/10, but the talent varies wildly and the cleanliness could be better, 3/10. I'll stick around, but I'm not in a hurry.
50/100 SW score
Underwhelming Experience I came in for a night out with friends and was really let down by the lack of sophistication, 2/10. The door service was also pretty slow, 2/10, and the value just wasn't there. Maybe I caught it on a bad night, but I won't be back.
