A mess of highs and lows, with some real low points.

Hawthorne Strip has some great aspects, but they're overshadowed by major missteps. The property's location and parking are major perks, but the room itself feels rundown. Service is just okay, but the speed is glacial. If you're a foodie, steer clear of the kitchen.

How this is scored
49/100

Parked in a great spot, but the room's a letdown.

The location and parking are a plus, but the room's atmosphere, luxury, and amenities are seriously lacking. It feels like a dive bar that's been neglected. If you don't mind a rougher vibe, you might enjoy it, but otherwise, it's not worth the trip.

Door service is okay, but the speed's laughably slow.

Door service is friendly, but the bar service is slow and unfriendly. The speed of service is laughably bad, and the respect shown to patrons is nonexistent. If you're looking for a place to relax and be treated well, keep looking.

Bad food prices, and what you get is barely edible.

The drink prices are reasonable, but the food is a disaster. It's overpriced and barely edible. If you do decide to eat, be prepared for a mediocre experience. Stick to the drinks and skip the food altogether.

Great dancers, but the professionalism is seriously lacking.

The dancers are talented and engaging, but the professionalism is seriously lacking. The appearance and interaction scores are decent, but the lack of respect from the performers is a major turnoff. If you're looking for a fun, laid-back experience, you might enjoy it, but otherwise, it's not worth the money.

Bachelor Party Bonanza We rented the VIP area and had an absolute blast. The affordable drinks and friendly dancers made it a great value. The relaxed atmosphere was perfect for a rowdy bachelor party like ours. Oh, and the taco truck on the patio was a game-changer!

Not Bad, Not Great I've been coming to Hawthorne Strip for a while, and it's a solid spot for a night out. The parking is a breeze, which is a huge plus. However, the club can get pretty cramped when it's full, and the lack of luxury touches is a bit of a letdown. Drinks are affordable, though!

Not Impressed I was expecting a bit more from Hawthorne Strip, but it just felt like a run-of-the-mill strip club. The smoking patio connected to the taco truck was kind of cool, I guess. But the dancers seemed pretty disinterested, and the whole place just felt really low-rent. Maybe I just caught it on a bad night?
