about

The Admiral Theatre on West Lawrence Avenue is Chicagoland's largest adult nightclub, totally nude, and open every day from 5pm to 6am.

Two things set it apart from most American clubs of this size: admission is 18 and over rather than 21, and it is BYOB — it holds no liquor licence, so you bring your own. The programme runs to private dances and champagne rooms, with bachelor and birthday parties a large part of the trade, and it publishes a daily dancer roll call. It has been voted the top club in the Midwest.

Been going to Admiral for 20 years! Recent ownership has led to some subtle changes but nothing that I would say is bad! Still the same beautiful dancers that can really awe you with their talented dancing! Also, now they do a ton of special events with xxx stars and guest dj’s etc. Would highly recommend giving Admiral a try!

a employee named emely aparicio scammed me! me and my friend went there after a long drive, decided to go there for the experience price was reasonable drinks were ok 10 dollar red bull? hell no but it was late so i had no choice. i wanted to take money out of my account so i can buy food because my phone was going to die and emely was in my personal space, trying to convince me to pay money to her i kept saying no but she said 100 or 150 for a room and I thought that was her price because every dancer’s prices are different and i thought she would’ve been professional about it but no scammed me, gave me a weak lap dance to where i felt disgusted and disappointed definitely not worth 100 dollars. if you’re going to give a lap dance more than 40 dollars at least show emotion. worst experience ever

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! I brought my boyfriend here for Father’s Day and was extremely disappointed with the entire experience. The venue was nearly empty, with only a few entertainers present, but the bigger issue was the way customers were treated. Throughout the night, I witnessed security staff being rude, aggressive, and disrespectful toward multiple patrons. While they were not personally disrespectful to me, I observed several troubling interactions, particularly involving minority customers. There was absolutely no justification for the way the security spoke to and treaded customers. Customer service starts with treating people with dignity and respect, and that was clearly lacking here. Based on what I witnessed, I will not be returning. I also plan to contact the alderman’s office regarding my concerns about the conduct and apparent discriminatory treatment I observed. Spend your money somewhere that values all customers equally.

I would strongly caution anyone considering visiting this establishment based on my recent experience. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was poor and unprofessional. The venue advertises itself in a certain manner, but our experience did not align with those expectations. In addition to the cover charge and bottle fees, we were informed after entering that there was a mandatory two-drink purchase requirement, even for water or soda. The issue was not the cost—it was the way customers were treated. Before entering, we asked questions about the policies and were essentially told that if we did not like the rules, we could leave. After entering, we were immediately required to purchase drinks before being seated or given any opportunity to enjoy the venue. Due to the customer service we received, we decided we no longer wished to stay and requested a refund. A manager initially indicated that a refund would be provided. However, when we went to the front, we were told refunds were not available. When we asked to speak with the same manager who had agreed to the refund, he declined to come forward and later denied making that statement. Another employee then identified herself as a manager and again refused the refund. To make matters worse, multiple security staff surrounded us and repeatedly questioned us about the situation rather than attempting to resolve the issue professionally. The entire interaction felt confrontational, disorganized, and focused on extracting money from customers rather than providing a positive experience. There are many entertainment venues in the area that treat customers with respect and value their business. Unfortunately, based on my experience, this was not one of them. I will not be returning and cannot recommend it to others.

Upon lining up, everyone was charged a different price and given a different bracelet, for some reason my friends and I were taken photos of the wrist Bands. Saturday was a special event for exotica so no passes were allowed or discounts. It was $40 to get downstairs $60 for all over. I only paid the extra to get upstairs so I could see one stripper from LA. Once we got up there the manager or shift lead running the room, told us it would be another $500 to sit down at a table. Or we could talk to the bartender. Mind you it was only 10 pm and the place was empty. The extras didn’t arrive until 12am and the real party didn’t start until 1am. This club profiles people who they believe to have money and charges more. Not to mention they also profile people in general, some are told their attire isn’t appropriate, some are told to remove their hats and some arent. Not one employee in the building is on the same page. Forgot to mention if you go out to smoke, even after paying entry fee, they expect you to wait in the line for an hour to come back in. Bring your own booze and water and or beverage because the prices are straight ridiculous. I’m not even sure if they were supposed to have the liquor upstairs but it was for the event. I got 2 sips of coke for $6. This place is a mess. Also screw the pole on better downstairs, the dancers at least deserve stability. Did I mention I dropped my vape and a stripper picked it up and gave it to another client? Then I had to get her to get it back. Smh. A mess. 1/5 stars.
