59/100

Avoid this place at all costs.

Overall, this place is a total disaster. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they're not trying. The low scores across the board are a red flag, and the lack of investment in the space is palpable. Unless you're looking to have a really bad time, it's best to avoid this place.

How this is scored
55/100

A run-down room that's more sad than seedy.

The room itself is a letdown. The atmosphere is dull, the location is sketchy, and the parking situation is a joke. The only 'luxury' you'll find is the high price point. Unless you're into that sort of thing, it's hard to see the appeal. If you do decide to go, be prepared for a cramped and uncomfortable experience.

Horrible service with a side of disrespect.

The service here is abysmal. From the door staff to the bar, everyone seems completely uninterested in helping. Respect is nonexistent, and safety is a concern. It's like they're trying to make sure you have a bad time. If you value being treated like a human being, keep looking. Otherwise, be prepared for a frustrating experience.

Terrible food and drinks that'll leave you thirsty.

The food and drinks here are an insult. The quality is subpar, and the prices are through the roof. It's like they're trying to rip you off. If you're looking for a decent meal or a drink, keep going. If you're desperate, you might find something edible, but don't say I didn't warn you.

90/100 SW score
Bachelor Bash We rolled in on a Saturday and the energy was electric. The sports bar vibe had all the guys stoked, and the $10 dance specials were a total steal. The parking was super easy, which was a welcome relief after a long drive. One minor gripe: some of the viewing angles were blocked by the boxing ring stage design.
70/100 SW score
Mixed Bag I've been to Polekatz a few times, and it's always a bit of a mixed bag. On the plus side, the drink prices are super reasonable and the cigar hookah is a nice touch. But the lack of VIP rooms and champagne rooms really takes away from the experience. Still, the dancers are always top-notch, and the $10 dance specials on Tuesdays and Sundays are a great value.
50/100 SW score
Not Impressed As a first-timer, I was expecting a bit more from Polekatz. The sports bar theme is cool, I guess, but it felt like they sacrificed some of the intimacy and exclusivity for the sake of a more party atmosphere. And don't even get me started on the topless only policy with pasties – it felt like they were trying to skimp on the experience. The parking was easy, at least.
