At one time was a rival to the Playboy ClubDue to the size limitations of my scanner, the entire menu may not show in some of the scans. The original Gaslight Club opened its doors in 1953 at 814 N. Rush Street in River North, the brainchild of local ad executive Burton Browne. One could argue that it was the first neo-speakeasy, an over-the-top homage to an illicitness it never actually had to contend with, complete with Roaring ‘20s-style decor, secret back rooms, waitresses gussied up in flapper garb, racy dance performances set to Dixieland Jazz and cocktails served in ceramic coffee mugs. Guests even needed a special gold-plated key to gain entry, spurring a brief but significant “Key Club” craze as similar outfits popped up across mid-century America. It was a looky-no-touchy gentleman’s club, paving the way for Hugh Heffner’s Chicago-based Playboy Club (est. 1960) and, in some ways, the strip-mall breastaurants that proliferated in the 1980s and ‘90s. Browne’s concept spread like wildfire, eventually spanning 26,000 members across 13 different Gaslight Clubs in places as far reaching as Paris, Los Angeles, New York and Miami. Four called the Chicagoland area home, including a location in the tony Palmer House hotel and another in East Dundee. The O’Hare outpost, the empire’s lone survivor, has been chugging steadily along since 1973. in fine condition Our Policies: For Multiple Purchases A single payment for all items would be appreciated.
