Clermont Lounge, Strip club in Poncey-Highland neighborhood, Atlanta, United States.
The Clermont Lounge sits beneath the Clermont Motor Hotel at 789 Ponce De Leon Avenue Northeast, arranged around a circular stage at the center of a basement bar. The space occupies a below-ground level and offers a dim, enclosed setting for evening entertainment.
The basement opened as an upscale supper club in 1955 before becoming the current venue a decade later in 1965. Since then, the operation has remained active at the same address without interruption.
Performers often choose their music using a coin-operated jukebox inside the venue, shaping each set according to personal taste. This approach lets dancers control the mood and pace of their routines without relying on a hired sound technician.
The venue only accepts cash and prohibits cameras or recording equipment inside. Visitors should withdraw money beforehand and keep personal devices out of sight.
This establishment was the first strip club in Atlanta owned and operated by women. That ownership structure has shaped the character of the venue and its reputation in the city over several decades.
