What was first opened way back in the 1920s as a vaudevillian-style house, is now one of Chicago’s top adult playgrounds. Admiral Theatre is a historical venue that is in remarkably good shape for its age.

This venue serves as a gentlemen’s club and nude bar. It is known for its sexy and erotic costumes that the ladies will wear before revealing all in one of the many regular stage shows.

The theatre-style gives this venue an intimate and classy vibe that is quite unlike any other strip club in Illinois. Expect plenty of pole dancing from their ladies who are a mix of local Chicago girls and exotic dancers plucked from all over the States, as well as some of them international.

The main showroom is open 364 days a year (it’s closed Christmas Day).

Opening hours at Admiral Theatre:

  • Open seven days: 7:00pm to 6:00am
