Clermont Lounge

"A strip club might seem like a weird place to cry, but anything goes here, except photos of course, and since there’s no way to document your tears, no one will ever know. Feeling extra dramatic? Roll up at the Clermont for karaoke night on Tuesdays or Disco Saturdays, where your tears will blend in with all that sweat on the dance floor. Open late (3 a.m.) Monday through Saturday. The Clermont Lounge is cash only." - Allison Ramirez

"Why yes, Atlanta’s oldest dubious vice den located beneath Hotel Clermont, which celebrated its 100th year being open recently, offers karaoke starting at 10 p.m. every Tuesday. Clermont Lounge opened in 1965 and is the city’s oldest, woman-owned strip club." - Eater Staff

"It’s impossible to talk about the hotel without mentioning what dwells at the base of the establishment — the equally iconic Clermont Lounge, Atlanta’s first and oldest strip club established in 1965. It’s owned entirely by women and known most famously for the beer-can-crushing entertainer, Blondie." - Henna Bakshi

"This iconic strip bar located in the basement of the Hotel Clermont on Ponce is a frequent stop for tourists and locals. And, it has been for over 50 years now. The dubious vice den is where to head for a PBR and shots and a peep show filled with aging strippers, including everyone’s favorite, Blondie. Watch the Atlanta living legend crush a few beer cans between her breasts. Two rules to abide by at the Clermont: no touching the entertainers and absolutely no photos allowed." - Beth McKibben

"Start the night upstairs at the Hotel Clermont’s swanky rooftop bar or the lobby bar, then head down to the infamous vice den below the hotel, which needs zero introduction among local Atlantans. Crowds here are rowdy, raucous, and include every walk of life, from Georgia Tech students to Jennifer Lawrence. Drink beer from the bottle, sit at the bar — and bring singles. Remember: no photos are allowed inside the Clermont Lounge, and no touching the entertainers." - Eater Staff
