What People Are Saying About Clermont Lounge
The Editor

The Scene – Located in the dingy basement of the Clermont Hotel, the Clermont Lounge defies simple classification. Part dive bar, part strip club, the Clermont is where in- and out-of-towners go more for the mystique than the show. Everything about the place and people is like weathered velvet: soft, semi-inviting but threadbare. Just shy of 40--a trait shared with several strippers--the Clermont is, like aged spirits, appreciated by some but likely to make uninitiated eyes water. – – The Draw – The Clermont's underground fame has gone mainstream with a feature on…

Best to go there drunk
by ZombieBait
I've been there 20+ times and usually enjoy my experience. If you're a first timer it helps to go there after you've had a few drinks. Tuesday is karaoke night which draws a nice size crowd, only problem is the dancers hate dancing to the lame songs and usually get off the stage after one dance, and there are usually only 3-4 dancers that night. Wednesday and Thursday nights are fairly calm. I wouldn't suggest going on Saturday nights, there's a $10 cover and it's waaaaay crowded and hot. I went in the dead of summer and almost passed out from the heat and smoke. NOTE: IF YOU'RE GOING TO SIT AROUND THE BAR TIP!!! If not leave the bar and let the people reaching over your shoulders to sit. Nothing makes a stripper more angry then not tipping. AND don't tease the dancers! They have attitudes and won't tolerate that. Drinks are cheap and strong! usually $4 mixed drinks, but I wouldn't recommend getting well drinks, you can upgrade for cheap too, $5 Absolute and Cranberry.
- Pros: Cheap drinks and friendly bar staff
- Cons: People who sit at the bar and don't tip

Go if you want, I loved it until last weekend. Just remember the other patrons are not the only thing you have to worry about. The staff/ security are not exactly fair and reasonable administrators of justice, and if you have the misfortune to be there when something goes wrong, enjoy trying to have a rational conversation with someone while you're in a headlock. Anything that happens there, stays there, which is why people love it, but remember the flip side: if something bad happens there, that stays there too. I literally watched the DJ beat up a crippled guy while security held him on the ground and took his cane--for trying to request a song. Anyone who tried to intervene was promptly put in a headlock and dragged out. Complaining about wrongdoing at a dirty strip joint is like complaining that there were strippers there. You have no credibility and no one cares.
The Details on Clermont Lounge
The Extras:
Blondie is the most famous, and rightly so--her anatomical trash-compactor act makes the cover charge a steal.
Look Good:
If it's hot outside, it's a furnace in here. If it's cold outside, it's a furnace in here. Wear one layer or melt.
The Extras:
Hit the Majestic afterwards and call it a morning.
Know Before You Go:
While the bar only accepts cash, there is an ATM machine inside for your convenience.
