Submit a ReviewHistoric BYOB Club With a Laid-Back Vibe
I visited the Admiral Theatre in the Albany Park neighborhood recently while in Chicago, and it’s one of the more unique gentlemen’s clubs in the city simply because of its BYOB policy — you can…

Very Cramped with Limited Seating (and Talent)
I went late on a Saturday night, wish I had gone to a different club while in Chicago.
Admiral theater, true to its namesake has the appearance to a small off-broadway theater. When you walk in,…

Okay for a visit
Cover was around $30. There was a featured dancer Richelle Ryan performing twice that night. A host greets me and asks where I would like to sit. They shepherd me to that place. I arrived…

Has potential, but still to damn expensive
With the change in management, decided to check out the Admiral. First time in eons, I saw Dyanna Lauren on stage then, to give you some idea. Was wanded at the door, then went around…

Definitely Improvements + New Management = A Good Time
Dropped in on a Friday night, stayed from around 7 to just before 10. Right away I noticed a few positive changes—place seems to be under new management, and it shows. Cleaner setup, better vibe…

It was dead on a Tuesday
TL;DR: Hours are 5 PM to 6 AM. Cover is free until 7 PM. This Tuesday evening, one stripper was working at 7, one additional was working by 9. Got an OK dance from…

Things Have Indeed Changed
I’ve been going to this place since the early 90s (it’s literally down the street from where I live) and have posted a few past reviews about it. As others have mentioned, new management…

BYOB, Got More / Paid More
Went there New Year's after hearing about the new management, BYOB, and more contact available. The floor plan is the same as before:
Tables w/ 2-3 chairs facing a theatre…

Don't Know Why Some are Unhappy...
I went at about 11 on a Friday night. Club has a valet parking lot in the back, but after circling a couple times, I managed to find a parking spot on the street for…

Notice to Management. Notice to strip club community.
As one of the few strip clubs within Chicago proper and the only nude option, the Admiral Theater has little in the way of completion. Knowing that patrons have very limited choices, the management of…

Low Stakes Grind
Went there Saturday night for 3 hrs. After paying cover was taken to the back theater and shown a seat. Non alcoholic drinks were offered by the server while there was a…

Average experience on Saturday
Visited on Saturday, Labor Day weekend around the midnight. Surprisingly, the place was quite empty, I counted around 20 people and 20 dancers (as I chatted with the girls later, end of the month are…

I fell in love
Admiral isn’t what it used to be since COVID, but it still has its nights. I happened to be there on a great night this time. Valet parking is available, but I saved money by…

Interesting visit on a Thursday night at Admiral
My first time going to Admiral.. after reading many reviews. This was around 11 on a Thursday. Only Valet parking. One of the managers introduced him and showed me around and sat me at a…

Gotta stay warm in the Chicago winters...
First time clubbing in Chicago area. This place is more of an after hours spot than anything, but it's one of the only nude spots in the area. Only open late in the week and…

Great spot for first club experience
So this was the first club I'd ever been to, my friend and I arrived around 8pm or so right before we were on our way out of the city. The place was quite packed…

Subpar experience
Went here on a night that was a lot more dead than I expected it to be. Feels like their Saturdays are their most popping nights. It may be because their roster has also changed.…

Solid and consistent, but a bit pricey and rarely an amazing night
I have been to the Admiral about 10 times over the past 20 years. It does not vary much, so I feel I have a pretty consistent review here. First, it's a bit…

Visiting again with a different experience
Last week, I visited the Admiral Theater and I decided to have a private dance. In previous visits, I had a private dance for 3 songs ($100). Like before, the stage was awesome and I…

Admiral Theatre - reliable, clean and always a fun time!
I went to the Admiral Theatre after a long time and am glad I did. This continues to be one of my favorite places for a full-nude strip club in Chicago. As many…

Only club in the city, you get what you pay for
Yo. This is a late review from a Halloween visit. Went solo. Didn't dress up but every dancer there had a costume. Visited the club about 10-11 PM. Cover is…

A good place to go and relax
I went there for my birthday anniversary. They have a parking lot and I paid for parking along with the cover inside the Admiral Theater, then guided me into a table. Nice bouncers and nicer…

Par for the course but pretty good overall
Visited on a Thursday night and showed up around 11:30. This was my third time here and overall about par for the course. Bouncers were professional and friendly. Give me a rundown with the metal…

Don't bother; save a couple dollars extra and go outside the city proper for a better bang for your buck
First, you arrive and the bouncers check your ID and give you a rundown of the place: No touching, no alcohol, and no phones in the main part of the theater.
After that, you pass…

To the good Admiral, I say: Fuck you sir.
Chicago, Il. Friday night. Up on the Northside. I ate a fuck ton of Chicago food before this so I made sure I took my diarrhea here. TMI? Go to hell. Yeah Johnnies, Ricobene's and…
