YMMV

Stopped out a few weeks ago on a Saturday night. Took me by a little by surprise.

TNT is a club in the middle of nowhere, not unlike its competition, The Hardware Store in Clyman and, to an extent, Club Bristol in Sun Prairie. All three have a few things in common: Backwoods locations off the beaten path and a less-than-upscale, dive-bar kind of feel. Two things tend to separate TNT and The Hardware Store from Bristol, however. First, Bristol is in Sun Prairie, which means it's mostly catering to the Madison and central state market, while TNT and Hardware Store are enough "between" Madison and Milwaukee that they can draw mongers from both places. Secondly, it seems like the Hardware Store and TNT have a reputation of letting far more go than Bristol, though I've had a couple good experiences at Bristol as well.

Bristol is much more of a bar that happens to have strippers and dances. Some of the dancers are decent to look at and there was one veteran, once, who gave me an above and beyond experience (all others there have been fairly strict to the rules). However, given how much time I see people spend in the "smoking room" at Bristol, I sometimes think that it's more about whatever's being smoked in there than anything.
