What People Are Saying About Clermont Lounge

Featured Review

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…

Editor's Tips

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.

  1. Clermont Lounge is fun

  1. ...DJ spinning the best funk, dance floor packed with all walks of life, and the show that is only the Clermont-- get yourself a cheap domestic beer, do a little chugging and enter another place in space.
  2. The drinks are strong and cheap, the staff is friendly and accomodating, and the strippers (though extremely nice) are nothing less than old and hideous.

I don't even..??

by whysoserious219

This strip club should honestly be rated below a 1, but is getting a 2 from me solely because of the hilarity of it all. You know those low budget made-for-tv-movies that take themselves so seriously it makes them hysterical? If you don't go in expecting a 5-star joint like I did, it'll be a fun night of cheap drinks and lapdances from your friend's mother.

I'm not new to the strip club scene, but wow. I just...let me put it this way: the average age of the entertainers was roughly around 40 and I paid a few off to get their equipment out of my face. It was a mad house the entire time, I never was able to find a place to sit and getting service for drinks was impossible. Atleast 3 different fights, a dude was roughed up from a bouncer for getting to close to a girl, and trying to flag a waitress down or squeeze up to the bar for a drink was impossible. Most of all, I will never be able to get the image out of my brain of that poor middle aged woman shoving a whole banana up in there and dropping little chunks around the stage while she danced...

Clarmont Lounge, where strippers go to die.

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

Low lifes

by slyfox99

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.
