59/100

Complete waste of time and money.

The Minx Show Palace is a total failure across every dimension. Every single metric—atmosphere, luxury, amenities, location, parking, capacity, privacy, door service, bar service, speed, respect, safety, cleanliness, value, drink prices, bottle prices, food quality, talent quality, appearance, interaction, and professionalism—scores zero. This isn't a club; it's a cautionary tale. Don't go.

How this is scored
68/100

Dump with no redeeming physical qualities.

The room itself is a disaster. Atmosphere is nonexistent, luxury is absent, amenities don't exist, location is bad, parking is worse, capacity is cramped, and privacy is zero. The physical space fails on every front. You'll feel worse being there than you did before you arrived.

Rude, unsafe, and filthy throughout.

Staff doesn't care and it shows everywhere. Door service is nonexistent, bar service is slow and disrespectful, safety is a joke, and cleanliness is disgusting. The place feels hostile. Expect to be ignored, rushed, and uncomfortable the entire time.

Overpriced garbage you shouldn't eat.

Everything is overpriced and tastes like it. Food quality is abysmal, drinks are bad, bottles are a ripoff, and there's no redeeming food value anywhere. Don't eat or drink here—seriously, grab something elsewhere first.

How scoring works

Complete waste of time and money.

The Minx Show Palace is a total failure across every dimension. Every single metric—atmosphere, luxury, amenities, location, parking, capacity, privacy, door service, bar service, speed, respect, safety, cleanliness, value, drink prices, bottle prices, food quality, talent quality, appearance, interaction, and professionalism—scores zero. This isn't a club; it's a cautionary tale. Don't go.

SW Score is a weighted composite across four dimensions — property, service, food, and performers — measured across 27 sub-metrics and a separate value score.

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.

How to read the shape: a balanced radar means a well-rounded club. A spiked shape means it excels at one thing and not others. Tap any dimension below for its full breakdown.

Solid spot for a bachelor party Took my crew here for a bachelor party and the VIP rooms made it easy to keep the group together without feeling cramped. Parking is a breeze with the lot right there, and the staff actually respects boundaries—no pressure to spend more than you want. Two stages keep things moving, and the whole place feels clean and organized.
60/100 SW score
Good for VIP, skip the regular dances I've been coming here on and off for a couple years. The daytime shift is where it's at if you want regulars and a chill vibe. Thing is, the pricing really pushes you toward VIP rooms—standard dances don't feel like the value. Safety and respect are solid though, and you can bring your own bottle which helps with costs.
70/100 SW score
Clean and safe, but underwhelming for the price First time at a strip club and I picked this place because of the parking and the fact it seemed low-key. It's definitely that—clean, well-lit, staff is professional. But the cover charge plus drink markup (even BYOB) adds up fast, and the cigar lounge area felt neglected. Decent experience, just not sure I'd come back unless the VIP pricing drops.
