"My Favorite in an overpriced, low value city" by Shady88 on 12/9/2023

"Weird Layout - Dance Club and Strip Club all in one" by CLZoho on 11/16/2022

"A nice escape..." by Icey on 5/10/2019

Sometimes, you really do get what you pay for. The club is impeccable. The decor is modern with a definite classic SF twist to it. Great food at cheaper prices than restaurants…

"Choking...Uhhhh...No thanks" by TomsterC on 11/1/2018

I visited the club after I wasn't feeling the vibe across the street at Deja Vu Centerfolds. Surprising there was no cover on a Saturday evening (probably because it was fleet week).…

"Low mileage, served their purpose for the night, kind of pricey though" by hamsuplo44 on 6/17/2018

COVER: The cover was $15 I believe. However, we got it waived because we bought a bottle. The bottle came out to be around 575. The dance prices were 3 songs for $100.…

"Nearly empty on Saturday night" by somedudesomedude22 on 2/19/2017

"Poor representation of club, perhaps" by janasek on 2/17/2016

I visited this club just after it opened at 6 pm. The doorman was courteous and explained that no girls were currently performing, and wouldn't be performing for another 15-20 minutes. After…

"Nicer venue than experience" by schmoe31415 on 2/13/2016

The Penthouse Club is on Broadway, just a bit separated from a large cluster of other clubs all together. The doorman, rather than the typical bouncer checking ids, was more like a…
