Playhouse Lounge

Burlington, NJ

Still a worthwhile stop.

My first visit since pre-covid. Not much has changed. Pink on the outside, dark on the inside (heh..). Stage dancing is a formality... visits to the back rooms are why we come.…

Several pleasant surprises...

★★★★★★★★★8.0/10

I hadn't been here in a couple years. Those previous visits I found that the entertainers seemed to just be going through the motions, with very low energy. I vowed at the time…

I had a short block of time before catching a plane. Based on reviews, I thought I'd check this place out on a Friday afternoon. Friendly enough feel, and I really did appreciate the lack…

With a short amount of time to kill before catching a plane, I stopped in. I'd been here a few years ago, so I thought I'd see if anything was different now. Man, I'd love…

Heading up the coast, I took a detour off I-4 and stopped in Monday shortly after opening. A bit of a lackluster visit this time. A lot of dancers with big bellies.…

I get to this area a few times each year. And I've driven by DaVinci's a few hundred times, at least. And I'd read the reviews, and thought to myself, do I really…
