About
Operating in the basement of the historic Clermont Motor Hotel on Ponce de Leon Avenue, Clermont Lounge is billed as Atlanta’s oldest strip club — the space opened as an upscale supper club in 1955 before being reimagined into its current dive-bar-meets-burlesque form in 1965. It has been featured on Travel Channel’s “The Layover,” Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Comedy Central, and has drawn celebrity visitors including Bill Murray and Robert De Niro over the decades.
Good to know
21 and up
As an adult entertainment venue, entry is restricted to guests 21 and older.
Cash helps
As with most dive bars of its era, cash is the easiest way to tip and pay at the bar.
