Warning: this gritty, roadhouse-style bar is not for the faint of heart (or stomach) -- or for the politically correct. This, plus a dash of good old-fashioned curiosity, is precisely why trendy Atlantans love this unpolished but unabashedly fun dive.

Late on Saturday nights, the line at the door is long, the dance floor is packed, and the bar --where you can get cheap, if not good, drinks -- is bustling. The crowd is eclectic: well-dressed yuppie types mingle with rough-looking characters you wouldn't want to encounter in a dark alley. Oh yeah, and there are the strippers, who seem to be there largely for the kitsch factor -- after some initial gawking, many patrons ignore them and focus on their own dance moves. Of course some folks do make a special trip to the lounge to see the legendary Blondie, a middle-aged stripper with talents that can't be detailed on a family-oriented Web site.

If you can get past the sordid setting, you'll discover the appeal of the Clermont Lounge. In an image-conscious city, it's a place where no one takes themselves too seriously. -- Katherine Whan

    I have been going to the claimont for awhile now, and the staff
    has the nerve now to have a attitude. Let's face it, u need our business to keep customers,and it's not our fault, that your dancers need more professional, and customer service skills to interact with the younger generation. Especially if your not in shape, stomach hanging down, breast sagging, u always need to keep a smile on your face.So if the staff can beef up it's game, then it can compete, if not it's about time to shut it down. (Blondie has had her time) but she still has the people skills. The others can do the same if they can make some improvement.

  • Great!

    Ben a Clarmount dog for years, I go back to the early 70's and to the days of old Darlean and when Blondy was young. Was there when little Vicky started. Many of my grialfreinds and one wife have come from there.

    A couple of friends and I went to the Clermont Lounge about 2 months ago, because we'd heard of it from the magazine "GQ" as the best/worst strip-club at the same time! Well, we had an amazing time but I wouldn't try this place in a sober mood ;-)

    This is a fun place to go with your friends, girls and guys, if you're not looking for anyplace fancy, but don't think that you're going to a "normal" strip bar. Be prepared for: cash only bar, sticky floor(and everything else), beer in cans only, drinks in plastic cups. We saw Blondie do her infamous beer can crushing trick but really, it's more about hanging out at a hole in the wall (or basement, as it were) while 2 or 3 women wander around, occasionaly taking their clothes off. Great DJ on Saturday nights! Lots of couples and folks just hanging out. Some people love this place and go all the time, but I would say it's more in the category of hey, I live in/visited Atlanta and I went to the Clermont: An occasionally fun thing to do.
