Bachelor Party Perfection Gatsby's North was the perfect stop for my bachelor party. The drinks were super affordable, I got a domestic for $4.50, and the private dances were on point. The club's clean and spacious atmosphere didn't hurt either.
70/100 SW score
Regular's Perspective I've been coming to Gatsby's for years and it's still got its charm. The luxury atmosphere is nice, but don't expect the VIP rooms to be super private. The drinks are cheap, though, and the dancers are always on the ball.
50/100 SW score
Disappointing First Visit Unfortunately, my first experience at Gatsby's was a letdown. The club was clean and parking was easy, but the lack of attention from the dancers was a major turn-off. I also didn't appreciate the VIP room's lack of privacy.
