A mere shadow of it's former self....but I had a good time none-the-less
I visited this establishment after a 3 year hiatus from shut-down. I will first say that this place is a mere small shadow of itself from yester-year. Despite this, however, I did actually…

Sad times for PHC
This used to be a favorite stop before closure/covid etc. How does it even stay open now?
10pm, Valet $10 with tip, entrance $20. Same layout downstairs as before, with pay station straight ahead when you…

Closed chained and padlocked for a year
The place is closed. Busted for deugs and prostitution, in local news they ruled in court that the place is to be padlocked for a year and all fixtures sold off.

Clinging to Life
Wow how the mighty have fallen. This was from a visit three weeks ago. The club interior is still very nice. The upstairs is completely remodeled which must have cost a pretty penny. Now VIP…

From Gentlemen's club to an Expensive Bar
I have visited Penthouse when it was the rockstar club in the area, where dancers from across the country would show up and compete. Although I knew it has lost its charm recently, I visited…

The Magazine doesn't come to life anymore
For clarifications sake, I never experienced the Penthouse in it's heyday. However, this review will be comparing it to the Legendary PH that used to exist before the crackdown.
Arrived around 3PM on a Friday,…

Penthouse Has Lost Its Edge
I used to be a regular at Penthouse a couple of years ago, before the Detroit Police began to require the curtains come down and raid the place regularly. In the past, PHC was…

How the mighty have fallen
Hadn't been here since December of 2017 (yeah before the curtains went down). My curiosity finally got to me and I ventured in. Valet is $8 and entrance fee was $10. I…

Still Gets The Job Done
I try to get to Detroit once or twice a year, literally only for the clubbing. Detroit offers the opportunity to do things other Midwest cities don't, so it becomes a destination. On a trip…

Thursday Night fun
After reading a lot of reviews for clubs in Metro Detroit, I figured Penthouse was rated the best. I paid the usual valet fee, coat check etc. and sat on the free sofas as I…

No curtains No point.
The club is the same as everyone has mentioned aesthetically. However the vibe is dead. This used to be the place to be. If you didn’t get here early there was no where to sit.…

Mia / curtains down
Avoided the parking charge by taking Lyft. Couple drinks that I think were about $8 or $9 apiece.
A little weird vibe since reopening but still hot girls there that want to have fun.…

Good enough
Have been a frequent patron of PHC until the major shutdown earlier this year. Reviews after the reopen were too discouraging for me to go back. But after seeing clicks of some of my ATFs…

it is in a great spot and we felt very safe. You are forced to check your coat which I didn’t like. The club itself is very nice and clean....the waitress was slow and at…

After the last raid
I stopped by Penthouse on a Friday afternoon. The dancers were 6-8.5. I came in looking for a certain dancer. I order a Coke $9.50.
I get my drink and boom, another dancer sits down.…

Parking lot looked full, but the place seemed dead.
Decided to stop by Penthouse for the first time since the "remodel." Front parking lot was full of exotic sports cars just like the old days so I had my hopes up when I walked…
