gentlemens club
Members-only drinking lounge
A gentlemen's club is a euphemism for a strip club—an establishment where women perform nude or semi-nude dances, often offering private lap dances for additional fees.
The term borrows respectability from the older sense: an exclusive private social club for upper-class men, featuring leather chairs, cigars, and membership fees.
