The Lido Room has come a long way. I have been going to the Lido Room private lap dance parties since 2009 when they were in the basement in a Moroccan restaurant in Hell's Kitchen. At the time, it was very simple and unpretentious. There was a small bar, a dozen or so girls, and some old but comfortable sofas, and some light curtain dividers. The girls were not knock-outs, but they were friendly and sexy. It was a nice change of pace from the more hectic gentlemen's clubs.

In the fall of 2014, Lido took a big step forward and moved to a new location in Greenwich Village which was beautifully decorated with plush red carpets and sofas. The new location had a great vibe and the party started to attract a lot of hot girls who wanted to be there, and then they started to invite their girlfriends, and then more customers started to come. Then, the Greenwich Village location soon became too crowded and you had to wait to get a sofa for a lap dance.

Having outgrown the Greenwich Village location, the Lido Room relocated to a Midtown location near Bryant Park that was literally three times the size of the Village spot. This new Bryant Park location had a long bar, and a huge semi-private lap dance area with many leather sofas. However, the new nightclub space was too large and sterile and there were problems with inadequate heat.
