What Penthouse Executive Club NYC Is
Penthouse Executive Club is one of Manhattan's longest-running upscale gentlemen's clubs, carrying the legacy of the Penthouse magazine brand into a multi-floor venue at 617 West 46th Street (Penthouse Floor) in Hell's Kitchen. The location puts it within walking distance of Times Square, the Theater District, and the Hudson Yards / west-side hotel cluster — a deliberate placement that draws business travelers, conference attendees, and bachelor party groups staying in Midtown West.
The "Executive" branding isn't accidental. Penthouse positions itself toward a corporate and business-traveler clientele, with VIP rooms, private suites, and a service style geared toward groups expecting a more sophisticated environment than a typical strip club. Multiple bars, an extensive performer roster, and themed VIP spaces are the operational hallmarks.
What to Expect at Penthouse Executive Club NYC
Dress Code
Penthouse enforces a strict dress code — historically one of the stricter ones in Manhattan. Business casual minimum: collared shirts, dress pants or dark jeans, dress shoes. No athletic wear, baggy clothing, hats indoors, sportswear, or hoodies. Bachelor parties wearing matching t-shirts or jerseys have been turned away. Plan accordingly.
Age and ID
21+ to enter and drink. Government-issued photo ID required. Expect ID checks at the door even for groups that look obviously over 30.
Hours
Typically open evenings through late night, seven days a week, with peak crowds Thursday through Saturday from 9 PM to 4 AM. Verify current hours on Penthouse's official site before heading over — schedules can shift during holidays and major NYC events.
Atmosphere
Multi-floor venue with distinct vibes per level — main floor for general crowd, upper floors and VIP suites for higher-tier service. The executive branding shapes the experience: less rowdy than some Manhattan clubs, more lounge-energy than typical strip-club energy. Strong showing during big convention weeks and major sporting events.
Realistic Costs at Penthouse Executive Club NYC
Pricing aligns with the upper end of Manhattan strip club tiers. Verify current rates before your visit, but here's what bachelor party and corporate groups typically budget:
- Cover charge: $30–$60 per person depending on the night
- Drink minimums: standard house policy; cocktails run $18–$28
- Lap dances: $40–$60 each on the floor
- VIP rooms / suites: $500–$2,500+ per hour depending on tier
- Bottle service: $600–$3,500+ for premium bottles in VIP
A group of 8–12 spending a full Saturday night at Penthouse — cover, drinks, dances, and an hour or two in VIP — typically runs $2,500–$6,000+ collectively. Corporate groups and bachelor parties going hard with extended VIP often clear $10,000–$15,000.
These are industry-standard estimates for the upscale Manhattan tier. Actual costs vary by night, group size, and service choices.
When Private Entertainment Is a Better Fit
Penthouse works well for groups that want the upscale club experience: lounge atmosphere, multiple performers on stage, business-friendly environment, VIP suites, full bar service. It doesn't work as well for groups that want privacy, predictable costs, or full attention on the guest of honor.
Private entertainment is a different model:
- No cover charges, drink minimums, or unpredictable per-item costs
- Performers come to your hotel suite, rental property, or venue
- Full attention on your group, not split across a public room
- Fixed price up front for the entire booking
- Same caliber of performers, often at a lower total spend
For corporate groups specifically, private bookings also offer discretion benefits that a public venue can't match — no risk of running into a coworker on the stairs, no public-photography issues, no venue staff outside your team.

Comparing Penthouse to Other Manhattan Strip Clubs
Penthouse sits in the same upscale tier as a few other Manhattan gentlemen's clubs. Bachelor parties and corporate groups commonly compare two or three before deciding:
- See our guide to Rick's Cabaret NYC — Midtown's other major upscale venue
- And Sapphire Strip Club NYC — another high-end Manhattan option
- For pricing detail specifically, how much Sapphire strip club costs in NYC covers the same cost categories
All three clubs draw similar crowds and similar budgets. The differences come down to location preference (Midtown vs. Hell's Kitchen), atmosphere, and which neighborhood your group is already based in for the night.
