The Scene
Located in the dingy basement of the Clermont Hotel, the Clermont Lounge defies simple classification. Part dive bar, part strip club, the Clermont is where in- and out-of-towners go more for the mystique than the show. Everything about the place and people is like weathered velvet: soft, semi-inviting but threadbare. Just shy of 40--a trait shared with several strippers--the Clermont is, like aged spirits, appreciated by some but likely to make uninitiated eyes water.

The Draw
The Clermont's underground fame has gone mainstream with a feature on Comedy Central's "Insomniac with Dave Attell" and verbal praises from such stars as Kid Rock, Marilyn Manson and even Canada's "Kids in the Hall." Saturday is the only night to feature a cover--and heated crowd--as yuppies and college kids flood the Clermont to get "cultured" dancing to disco funk. What draws most is to find out whether rumors are true.
