Glamorous No Alcohol Club Close to Manhattan

Show Palace is very convenient to Manhattan. You go over the Upper Roadway of the Queensboro (59th Street) Bridge and you are right there. With no traffic, you can get there in 6 minutes. Show Palace is also the most glamorous of any strip club in the outer boroughs and is on par with some of the major clubs in Manhattan. The main floor is huge with high ceilings and chandeliers. The main drawback is that the club does not have a liquor license and only serves nonalcoholic drinks. One option is to have dinner or drinks before you go there. Long Island City has become gentrified and there are now a lot of nice restaurants and bars along the waterfront. This lack of a liquor license is partially offset by the fact that they allow all nude dancing and that the club has 18 as the age for admission and hiring of dancers.

I went with one friend of mine. The admission price was $20 which could be paid in cash or credit card. We were told that admission goes up to $25 on the weekends. I ordered a Heinekin 0% alcohol beer which tasted good and my friend ordered a mixed drink that had a nonalcoholic liquor. He had no complaints. Their beers start at $9 and mixed drinks start at $12. There is also a full menu that has everything from chicken fingers to steaks. The place was practically empty and we were told it gets busy later in the evening. Several dancers came up to us to talk. There was also a stage with all nude dancing. The dancers were of mixed ethnicity and a few of them were really hot. I had spoken with a 20-year-old dancer who was an Asian/Latina college student who lived in Queens and we later had some lap dances on the floor. The lap dances on the main floor are topless. You can have all nude lap dances if you pay extra for a private booth or room. The prices for private booths and rooms are a lot less than in Manhattan. The private booths start at only $75 for 15 minutes.

Definitely one of the better clubs in Queens. Just be aware that there are no alcoholic beverages allowed on the premises. That means no BYOB either.
