Champagne room

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A champagne room (also called a champagne lounge, or champagne court) is a specialized service offered by gentleman's clubs where a customer can purchase time (usually in half-hour increments) with an exotic dancer in a private room on the premises. Depending on the quality of the club, the room, which is away from the hustle and bustle of the main club, is well decorated and usually has its own bar. Clubs sell champagne by the glass or by the bottle for both the dancer and the customer. Some clubs also offer a food and/or cigar service.

While most clubs provide bouncers or camera systems to monitor activity in the champagne room, some clubs allow prostitution to occur.

[edit] Pop culture references

• Comedian Chris Rock pokes fun at the champagne room in his hit single, "No Sex (In the Champagne Room)", declaring:

No matter what a stripper tells you

There's no sex in the Champagne Room.. NONE!

Oh there's champagne in the Champagne Room

But you don't want champagne.. you want sex,

And there's NO sex.. in the Champagne Room.

• Wyclef Jean later noted Rock's comment in his own reflection on exotic dancers, Perfect Gentleman.
