I've been a few times, and this place is hit or miss. It has no other competition in South Bend, so they get away with some things they couldn't otherwise. For example, lap dances are the typical $20, but you only get about 3/4 of a song. Drinks for the girls are $30, which is not unusual in a nice club, but given the quality of The Torch, is very high. The bar selection is awful, though I will say the service is friendly and good. The girls themselves go from very pretty to barely acceptable, depending. Probably not worth your time if you are just in town for a few days. There are also nearby clubs that are far better in Kalamazoo, MI, Fort Wyane, etc. If you're stuck in South Bend for a long period of time though, this is it.
