The Best Gentlemen's Club in Queens, NYC: A Local's Guide to Starlets
If you're looking for a gentlemen's club in Queens — or honestly anywhere in NYC — here's the short version: you don't need to deal with Midtown. You don't need the velvet-rope theater, the steep cover, or the cab ride into Manhattan to get a real night. Starlets sits at 49-09 25th Ave in Woodside, Queens, and it's been the outer-borough answer to nightlife done right for years.
This is the full local rundown — what Starlets is, who's there, what it costs to walk in, and how to actually plan the night.
Why Queens beats Manhattan for this
Manhattan gentlemen's clubs are built around the bottleneck. The line, the cover, the markup, the rope. You pay for the address and the attitude before you've had a single drink.
Woodside flips that. Starlets is a genuine Queens institution — a longtime Woodside venue that locals have kept coming back to for years. The door charge is minimal except on special-event nights, the room is built for actually enjoying yourself, and you're a short walk from the Woodside 7-train and LIRR hub instead of a Midtown crawl. If you're flying in or out, we're minutes from LaGuardia (LGA) — more on that below.
What you'll find inside
Starlets isn't a one-note room. The floor is built for everything from a quiet weeknight drink to a full bachelor-party blowout.
The talent — the Startenders
We call our performers Startenders, and there's a deep rotation of them — which is why the room never feels the same twice. Different nights, different energy, always a full floor.
Bottle service & VIP
Bottle service, VIP sections, champagne rooms, and private lap-dance rooms are all on the menu. If you've never booked a section before, we wrote a full bottle service and VIP guide that explains how minimums, sections, and the whole experience work.
Food & drink
Yes, there's a full kitchen. A real food and drink menu — not vending-machine afterthoughts. You can eat here, drink here, and stay all night.
Parties
Bachelor parties, birthdays, bachelorette nights, and private events are most of our weekends. Two dedicated guides cover those:

What it costs to get in
Door charge is minimal on a standard night — Starlets is not a club that gouges you at the door. On special-event nights the cover may apply, and some nights run free entry until midnight (check the events calendar before you come). Inside, you're paying for what you actually order: drinks, food, bottles, sections. No hidden velvet-rope surcharge.

How to plan your night
If it's just drinks and the floor, walk in — that's the easy night. If you're rolling with a group, or it's a birthday or bachelor party, reserve a section in advance through our booking page. Weekends move, and the good sections go first.
