90/100 SW score
Solid spot for the crew Brought the guys here for my buddy's bachelor party and we had a good time. The atmosphere hits that sweet spot between dive bar and classy joint. Parking was easy which saved us from wandering around downtown, and the drinks didn't break the bank.
70/100 SW score
Good but not great Been here a few times since they opened the new VIP rooms. The dancers are quality and the staff treats you right, but don't expect to smoke cigars here - that's not their thing. Food is cheap enough to grab a bite, though the menu isn't anything special.
60/100 SW score
Decent for Waterbury Stopped by after a long day of meetings. The privacy level is good if you're trying to keep things low-key, and I appreciated that it wasn't some sketchy dive. That said, the whole hometown bar vibe isn't really my scene when I'm looking to unwind.
