A Discreet, Upscale Strip Club Near Hinsdale

Hinsdale knows the difference between a nice night out and a well-run one. The village around the train station does dinner beautifully, and with certain expectations attached: good service, a room that never feels rushed, and nobody making a show of who's sitting at the next table. The Gold Room holds itself to the same standard. We're an upscale, professionally run gentlemen's club about 25 minutes north, most of it a straight run up La Grange Road, and discretion is the house rule.

If privacy is the point, start with the champagne rooms, which sit apart from the main floor for you and your guests. If your evening begins with dinner in the village, call ahead from the table and have one held for when you arrive, or ask about availability at the door. If you'd rather stay out in the room, private dances are available every night.

A VIP table can be arranged on the same call, and once you're seated the kitchen sends USDA Prime steaks, signature entrees and shareable plates to it until 4 AM, so a second, later dinner never means leaving the table.

The room dresses up a little, too. The dress code is smart casual (no athletic wear, sleeveless shirts, excessively baggy clothing or hats), and that sets the tone from the door in. It can still be a very big night when it wants to be, with several stages going at once, world-class entertainers, and sound and lighting that match the specs of major music venues. It just never stops being a place you'd be comfortable bringing someone you want to impress.

The club opens at 4 PM Monday through Friday and at 5 PM on Saturday and Sunday, and it closes at 5 AM. Guests must be 21, with ID. To reserve a champagne room or a VIP table, or just to ask what a first visit looks like, call (708) 375-1111.
