390 review

Club 390 is a medium sized nude club located in Chicago Heights. The other club in Chicago Heights is Jimmy's. 390 is one of the few clubs in the entire Chicago area where you have full nudity throughout the club (stage and private dances) and full liquor. The other clubs being Club O and Skybox in Harvey and I believe Ocean in Bedford Park (although since they've been taken over by the people at PoleKatz that may have changed). If you're willing to drive all the way to Ottawa, then the Silver Slipper Saloon is the last full nude liquor club anywhere near Chicago.

One of the nice things about 390 is that it has a decent sized paved parking lot without any valet fees (cough, Skybox, PoleKatz, Ocean, Atlantis, Admiral). Upon entry however, you do have to deal with a LEO who cards you and occasionally pats you down (only club i've ever seen this at). Depending on the day and time and believe it or not, how far away you live and how old you are you may or may not have to pay cover. There's no cover for the day shift, no cover on weekday nights if you live over 20 miles away, and no cover on Thursday nights if you're over 30. At least that's how I remember it; there's no mention of it anymore on the website. Since this was a Saturday late night, cover was unavoidable and a little pricier ($15) than I remember; it used to be $10.

When you walk inside, you'll usually be greeted by a bouncer/host and will have a choice of about 50 available or not available seats (about 20 tables) all on one side of the club. There are also about 6 loveseat-like benches along the wall on the same side. The only other regular seats are at the bar (about 15 or so) on the opposite side of the club and a few tables near the bar and one long curved/angled bench (that can seat about 10) in the front right of the club near the entrance, and of course the stage. All the remaining seating sections (almost half the seating in the club) are either VIP or reserved. The VIP section is in the front right of the club almost immediately after the entrance in front of the restrooms and next to the DJ booth. There's room for about 30 or so in there. There's also a few gambling machines in there. There's also an exclusive executive lounge directly on the left side when you enter. The reserved sections and seating were mostly empty, unsurprisingly. Overall, the place is pretty clean, but not too fancy. The ceilings aren't very high, so it feels like a smaller club, although they use the space pretty well despite wasting (IMO) so much on VIP and reserved sections.
