This historic Chicago landmark has been in the adult entertainment business since the late 1960s, when it began by showing adult movies. Since then, it has evolved into a large gentlemen's club, complete with a magazine, toy and video store. With over 100 girls under the Admiral umbrella, there are plenty of ladies to see without the redundancy factor. The Admiral Theatre also attracts national touring performers as well, so keep your eyes peeled for their scheduled performances. If you have extra cash on hand, splurge for center stage VIP seating so you can be up close to the action. You don't want to miss out on the beautiful women of this highly-rated and sought-after gentlemen's club. No alcohol is served here--only soda and juice--so, if you prefer a healthy buzz before taking in the show, stop into a nearby bar for a couple of beers. For more intimate entertainment, take one of the dancers back to one of the VIP dance booths for a memorable (yet, legal) experience.

Unlike many of the other gentlemen's clubs in the area, VIP's offers full liquor and completely topless women; no pasties or bikinis here. This upscale establishment draws in a higher-end clientele. The ladies perform various athletic pole dances on the main stage, as well as entertain guests in the VIP suites, optionally. Check their calendar for special events which constantly change. During football season, grab the guys and head over to VIP's for Monday Night Football, where you can watch the game as well as the sexy ladies. Wednesdays are fantasy nights at the club, where the dancers dress up in various fantasy outfits and play the role. It is not uncommon to be seduced by a nurse, teacher or maid on this evening. Book a party or event and let the girls be your entertainment. VIP's is open daily until 4 a.m. every night and until 5 a.m. on Saturdays.
