Underwhelming experience all around.

The Harvard Club falls short in nearly every aspect. From its lackluster atmosphere to its unimpressive performers, this club fails to impress. Unless you're in the area and desperate for a drink, there's little reason to visit.

How this is scored
56/100

Lacks luxury, but decent parking.

The club's location is decent, but its parking situation is a major plus. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is dull, and the luxury factor is basically non-existent. If you're looking for a no-frills spot to grab a drink, this might fit the bill.

Sub-metric signals are pulled from verified reviews, venue data, and website text. Each dimension rolls up into a 0-100 score, which feeds the weighted overall.

Bachelor Party Night We rented the VIP booth and it was a blast. The private dances were $15 and totally worth it. The bartender kept our drinks full all night, and the drinks were only $5 each - what a steal!
60/100 SW score
Decent Night Out I've been here a few times and it's always just okay. Drinks are affordable, but the private dances are kinda pricey. The parking lot is pretty small, but it's well-lit, so that's a plus.
50/100 SW score
Mixed Bag I'm not sure what all the hype is about - the club feels kinda cramped and the dancers aren't exactly top-notch. That being said, the safety vibe is super strong, and the bartender was friendly. Drinks are cheap, at least.
