Super fun and exciting show!! The acts were stunning and the menu offered enough options for a snack during the show. Wide variety of performers, so it never got boring. I appreciated that it wasn't your typical burlesque with only pretty skinny white women performing, the show was definitely better for it. My favorite part was the noisemakers they handed out to the crowd! A perfect little reminder of an amazing night read more

I went back last night for the late night burlesque and got free lessons on some burlesque moves which I was then required to show off on stage. It was hilarious to watch I'm sure. This place is always worth the entrance cost. I also shared an antipasto plate with my table and it was simple, but good. And while the drinks I prefer (champagne or martinis) are a bit costly, they aren't more expensive than any other classy bar and beers are relatively cheap considering the neighborhood and setting. Also, I have a crush on Fanny Spankings and want her red sparkling lipstick. Anyone know where I can get it? read more

While I've never been officially diagnosed, I'm known to be a bit ADD. And sitting thru any show for 3 hours can drive me absolutely bonkers. When the show happens to have a slightly annoying host it can really drive ya insane. However, it wasn't all bad at Lannie. The good: * Our waitress (who had the most impressive cleavage I've ever seen) brought us a tasty bottle of champagne * My colleagues bought me a tiara to wear and I LOVE tiaras (it's a princess thing). It was my lucky night cause those wearing tiaras were given a special shot from the bartender. Mine tasted like cough syrup. Ick * Some of the burlesque acts were quite entertaining...my favorite was the ariel dancer. I left with a few of my other ADD colleagues at intermission, but I was told that the 2nd half of the show was better.....or perhaps it was all that champagne that made it extra fun. read more

When given the option of attending a burlesque show while in Denver last week, it was a no-brainer - I was totally in! It was after the fact that I found out the show was three hours long. Isn't that a bit much for a burlesque show? I thought so... And it was more of a variety show than just a burlesque show. I did enjoy the first half- particularly the dancers. The comedy and other *talent* I could've done without. I left with a few others that seemed to have ADD (see Andrea R's review) at intermission. During the time I spent at Lannie's, I will say that our waitress was great, it was fun to have noisemakers, and the ice cream sundae for two was quite delicious although a bit skimpy on each of the variety of toppings it came with. (I did share the sundae with Colleen; i didn't eat it all by myself). If you're in Denver and looking for something unique to do, check out Lannie's... just make sure you and your date, companion, posse, etc... are all on the same page and you know ahead of time how long the show will be! It is quite entertaining! read more

Simply the best possible bachelorette party I could have ever hoped for. I was afraid I'd be dragged out to be covered in stripper sweat, but Nuclia Waste, Portia Potty, Iona Trailer and Gabbriella Butz'In of the Demented Divas were better than I thought possible! The drinks were great and I think we had snacks, but I'll be honest all my attention was trained on the stage from the moment the girls stepped on to it. A raucous evening of dancing, singing (of the lip-sync variety), and belly busting guffaws and giggles! These Demented Divas spoofed Mary Poppins, Julia Child, Madonna and so many more! Each parody was uproarious. I was sad when the evening was over. The servers were great and the ladies were so very gracious to pose for photos after the show and listen to our fawning praise. read more

We purchased tickets for their Saturday night Burlesque show on their website with relative simplicity. All tickets are will-call, but I brought a print-out of my confirmation e-mail just in case. Doors opened at 11 and everyone in the small lobby was ushered down the stairs, then we waited for the door person to confirm reservations and take visitors to their tables. Somehow we were seated at a front-row table. Score! Boobies without the need for squinting. The pre-show entertainment was lackluster. A Jewish/Irish guy singing old Irish drinking songs. He wasn't very good and was not entertaining in the least. He made the half-hour wait for boobies more awkward than it already was. When the MC, Naughty Pierre, came on stage, the mood lightened a bit. He's a funny guy and a great MC. My only complaint is that he got more time on stage than any of the girls, because he started the show then came on between each girls' set. I want to see boobies, not a middle-aged gay guy cracking jokes. On to the "burlesque". I have many complaints. I have, in my mind, an idea of what burlesque is. It involves women of many different shapes and sizes tantalizing the audience with a fully-clothed dance that eventually turns into an almost-nude finale. Not here. The girls each had about 5 minutes. Not long enough to get you hot and bothered. Almost every girl was the same in shape and body type: blonde and tiny... save for the two Asians... brunette and tiny. I was hoping for a little chubby-girl love... instead, the only chubby girl at this club was a stage-hand who cleaned props off the stage between sets. Really disappointing. In addition, there wasn't much that left the audience salivating. The girls did their dance in five minutes, then as soon as they revealed their pasties, they scurried off the stage. I guess I was expecting a little more sensuality. Instead, this show focused more on the funny/schtick. We spent $50 on tickets. I don't really feel like the "show" was worth that much. Yes, the girls are in incredible shape and there were parts that made me laugh, but I came for burlesque and I left still wanting burlesque. read more

This is such a fun place to go. I have seen burlesque, comedy shows, and variety shows over the last decade. It has always been fun, the staff is great, and the appetizers are really good too! I highly recommend giving it a try if you are looking for something fun and different to do. read more

First you have an amazing room - sure it's the basement, but you quickly forget this, as you settle in, surrounded by velvet, and chandeliers. Next, you have some really yummy, fancy (and slightly pricey) drinks and munchies. The dips and pita are really tasty and are brought to you promptly by super nice and efficient servers. I fell in love with this place even before the show started. Larry Wagner comes out to the grand piano and starts playing while people are still getting settled. When Pierre Jean Pierre St. PIerre and No No Nannette come out, the crowd goes crazy. Many people in the room are regulars and they know what's coming. The jokes are so bad, they are good, and No No offers to make your face disappear all night for free. Finally to the performers - you get to see torch singers, jugglers, magicians, belly dancers, comedians, and of course the airelaists, and burlesque dancers. Fanny Spankings with her assles (tassels on her butt), Orchid Mei with her 14 inch waist, and my all time favorite Charlie Champale the boylesque dancer will make you scream. But the best part of the night is seeing the girls of Oracle Dance perform. Adrienne and Alex do the aireal performances and it's simply breath taking to watch them All this for just $15. How can you go wrong??! read more

The Clocktower Cabaret is a must when you are in Denver. We were lucky to attend a show on a Thursday which means it was Naughty Pierre's Comedy Night. The venue is fabulous, the staff, food, and drinks, are absolutely wonderful. Of course the performances are out of this world. You will not regret, or forget, your night at the Clocktower Cabaret. read more

Just returned home from The Wonderful World of Burlesque. Don't waste your time! We've been to Clocktower before for the burlesque show. Enjoyed the last time (October 2017) so much that we decided to buy tickets again for tonight. I hate to say it but it was pretty awful. Very unpolished and far too much filler time spent getting to know the audience with acknowledging future brides and birthdays and terrible jokes. When they invited audience members up to learn how to dance with a feather boa, it was so reminiscent of a cheap Hawaiian luau, we got up and left. It was painful. The production value is almost nill trying to weave a Disney theme into strange, boring acts which perform to Disney music. If the acts were entertaining, you might be able to excuse the cheesiness of it all, but they weren't. I've seen better talent shows on high school auditorium stages. I'm sad I spent my hard-earned money on tickets for this show. I so wanted to love it the way we did the last show, but I couldn't wait to get out of there tonight. Can that production immediately before it ruins you; a professional critic will make mincemeat out of it. read more

Fun evening, though it has an "amateur" feel. We went to the Naughty 90's show. It involved about 8 different acts that were themed around the music and pop media of the 1990's, including Pulp Fiction, Madonna, Mrs. Doubtfire, Clueless, and 90's SNL The show was a lot of fun, but there was an overall amateur feel to many of the acts. Don't expect the polish, quality of dancing, and titillation you'd get from a professional show with professional dancers. You will have a good time at the Clocktower show, but don't expect too much. I will shout out to the MC. He was hysterical and largely "made" the show. read more

Went here for the drag show time machine and it was AMAZING!!! Cool place would love to return for more shows!!!

I went to see Shhhamilton last night and loved it! The atmosphere of the cast and audience were so magical. Looking forward to more BIPOC shows at the clocktower. However, for the staff, I wish I could say the same. At the show's end, I was looking for a cane that one of the performer's grandmothers had misplaced. I went on the stage to ONLY call from afar if anyone in the back had seen it. I was met with a very aggressive tone and snarkiness that was not needed as I was only trying to help another person. I understand that it was closing time and they wanted to go home but the way that I was talked to was very disrespectful, and during Black History Month too, after a Black-led show? Shameful read more

Hubby and I had an awesome time here in March 2009. Unique talent including comedians, musicians, magicians and of course the gals. The service was fantastic - try the cheesecake! Reasonably priced tickets that were easily purchased online. Drinks and desserts are also priced right and are tasty - really, the cheesecake! We sat right upfront, I suppose someone thought we were brave! The crowd was awesome and had a great sense of humor. The venue is centrally located to plenty of places to have dinner before hand. read more

The Clocktower Cabaret - Us at Lannies, notice the funky colors and sexay uniforms. Check out this fun place! - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This place always aims to please! Of course the historic clock tower is gorgeous on its own, the interior design of this place is fun as well. I have seen multiple shows here that the cost is very reasonable (usually about $25 pp) and always sure to leave you with a smile on your face from a good time. I have seen The Butt Cracker, Balls, Burlesque Convention, Hollywood Burlesque (just saw on 1/24) and am definitely going to see more shows. I love them all and Naughty Pierre (everyone's favorite French Mexican) is fabulous and fun. I haven't eaten here but drinks are good. I just had the Midnight Martini last night which was a delishous splurgh and packed a punch. Enjoy! read more

My sister showed up from Las Vegas to surprise me for my 40th birthday! Off we went to Lannie's! We were sat at a high boy table in the back.....perfect for our rowdy crew. We met great people right off the bat and the drinks kept the night going. The entertainment started as soon as we sat down. Fun and sassy wait staff, very friendly host, even the lighting girl was nice. The MC kept the fun going and the girls.......embodied female power! It was all around an impressive show. The girls stay around after the show for pictures and they truly are even more beautiful and friendly up close. The magician that flows around is absolutely AMAZING! Without giving too much away, it was a real treat to have him entertain our group. The only downside was the food. The sliders were dry, the antipasto was basically grocery store meat and cheese put on a plate. The edamame was however, very yummy. Absolutely go.....just eat somewhere else first. read more

The Clocktower Cabaret - Antipasto and edamame. - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Intimate, retro venue that's loaded with atmosphere and features great entertainment. CJ Nicolai's "Christmas 1949" show last night was sold out and 100% fabulous. We go Downtown to the Clocktower a few times a year to see a drag or burlesque show, and it's always a unique and memorable good time. Since The Carousel on Broadway closed a few years back, there's nothing else in Denver that compares when I need a dose of bawdy but tasteful crazy fun. Make your reservation online, schedule an Uber, and go cut loose! read more

The Clocktower Cabaret - These guys are fabulous. Keep them on your radar. - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

What a great place to go on Saturday night! Located in downtown Denver, the show was entertaining and funny. We were sitting at the table, dining and drinking. It was a good mix of humor, impressive acrobatics and silly moments. One thing I like the most about Cabaret is that it allows the performers to be on the same level as the audience. If you like this form of live entertainment, you should definitely visit this place! read more

The Clocktower Cabaret - Exciting show - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I love this place. It's so unique and kind of a hidden gem in Denver. The drinks are good but a little pricey. The truffle Parmesan edamame is . The staff is always super friendly and the show is so awesome. Entertaining and humorous. read more

This is a fun place for a late night show especially for a group. Get your tix a couple weeks in advance as they tend to fill up rather quickly. The seating process is like a cattle drive but once you are sat the wait staff takes really good care of you. Drinks are a little pricey but not too bad. The shows are witty and fun. Some of the acts are very talented, others wear their talent in their bras. We have always leave with a smile on our face after having a great time with our friends. read more

A friend wanted to enjoy some cabaret for his birthday - so, why not? The staff was very accomodating! We had three different purchase times and were all still able to get our seats together! The drinks were tasty and not terribly expensive! Oh yeah - the show? Amazing! We saw the broadway version on and wow! The tunes, the dancers! The MC - wow! Loved each performance, and the confidence with which each person did their tune, wow! Definitely something to enjoy!!! read more

Enjoyed the live music and couple drinks. Drinks are average cost for a downtown place. About $13 each - Colorado Peach Martini and Pomegranate mule. read more

My husband and I took a few friends to the 80's show Lannie's did this past weekend.....it was absolutely fantastic! We had a fantastic time. Highly, highly recommended! read more

waiter failed to return our credit card - ok, mistakes happen. but we realized it only after we left, so we came back the next day for it - and they told us they were imposing a larger service charge because WE "abandoned" (their word) the card. again, I can handle a waiter, messing up, but to blame us as an excuse for imposing an extra charge on us is just a dishonest and nasty business tactic. read more

What a fantastic venue and show. We saw the Drag Queen Time Machine. It was so wonderful and more fun than I've had in a long time. Thank you Drag Queens!! read more

Me and my colleagues were in town for a conference and wanted to do something fun and different. We found the Thursday night burlesque show and were thoroughly entertained! The space was beautiful and you could tell the dancers and MC loved their work. Very involved with the audience in an intimate setting. Drinks were strong and yummy. Only knocking off a star because the food was very bland and typical bar food. If I'm paying $25 just to see the show and on top of that paying for my food and drinks, I expect a bit more quality. read more

I've been to several shows, all over the world. This one was decent. However, there were a few performances that could have been done with out. I don't particularly like crude and meanness. What I'm talking about is the Amish performance was a bit much. I'm all for laughs and burlesque. But, that was a bit much. There were a few performances that were incredible!! Then a few that looked like the ladies were straining to do it. Burlesque is about beauty, sensuality and art. When you move like a robot wearing a taco shell. It becomes more like a freak show. The few performances that I loved were art, acting, theater and above all beauty! The women felt comfortable in their skin and owned the damn stage. Am I happy we decided to go? Sure, but I wouldn't have paid $50 for what I saw last night. I just can't get behind hate. read more

The caliber of cabaret here was actually quite top notch... Plusses: -Beautiful women that don't appear to be hookers/strippers/tramps. *Talented, to boot! -Confidence/charisma from chicks that look REAL. Bonus! -$15 ticket for 3 hour show: Good value. -Quirky venue. Minuses: -Obnoxious Host is crude. I'm not "sensitive," but I wouldn't bring mixed company up in here for fear of offending them. -The Ice Cream Sundae "for two" was pretty....not good. -Drink selection is a little weak. -Show is about 1.5 hours too long! Tip: Go for half the show, then skip out for drinks elsewhere...$15 is still a great value, and the chicks are not to be missed. HOT! read more

Lannie's Clocktower has been voted best first date by Westword on multiple occasions and for damn good reason! I myself have personally been to the burlesque night on about ten separate occasions and every single time was not only fresh, sexy and funny as hell, but forever fun and entertaining! Picture this, a dashing man, dressed in his finest tux and a gorgeous lady in her most luxurious evening gown; together they walk arm in arm along 16th street mall towards the towering beacon of pure awesomeness.. well.. you don't really have to imagine it, but seriously, for me, it has ALWAYS been that epic and that romantic. So once you step inside the Clocktower, you descend a small staircase, if you're a few minutes late, you'll not only meet the doorperson for your cover fee ($10-$20 a person depending on the event, reservations also available for special engagements) you'll also probably be greeted by laughter, whoops and hollers and Cab Calloway playing in the background, as some voluptuous young thing dances on a modest stage; but don't expect to see anything smutty! This isn't THAT kind of cabaret, it's tasteful, tantalizing and beyond all else, timeless. The room itself is gorgeous, decorated like some wild 1930's smoking room or a tiki lounge and although the drinks can be a little pricey, they are SO worth it, be sure to ask one of the servers for a "PINEAPPLE SLAMMA!" It's my favorite. Classy dolls and good drinks not your thing? Then go for the comedy, depending on the night Pierre Jean Pierre St. Pierre, (Your loveable, 'heteroflexible' host) will have you in stitches all night long, whether it be with ribald joke telling, or naughty puppets, this man has talent; Ask him to "Yoogle" his balls for you sometime. Interaction is a must, shout, share a joke, laugh, whistle, scream and feel free to hang out with the performers after the show, they're all amazing and ALWAYS in character (Method acting at it's best!) Lannie's Clocktower has a jam-packed schedule that has something for everyone, which you can view on their shmancy little website. The Voluptuous Vivian Vavoom even offers burlesque workshops on occasion (Not on the same night, of course), giving any guy or doll the opportunity to make a costume, learn the moves and maybe even be a star! But don't expect to see me up on the stage, shaking my ass anytime soon. Jazz, swing, big band, lovely ladies, classy gents, drag queens, dancing, "boy-lesque", spirits, tassels, comedy, delicious food and a whole lotta class awaits you at Lannie's, you can't go wrong! read more

The Hublet & I stayed in Denver unplanned on the way out to Arizona. We enjoy seeing shows in every city we visit to really partake like a local and get a taste for the local talent.The tickets were fairly priced & the reviews were great so we eagerly booked online. Being that it was St. Patties weekend the show featured a special host along with a Shamrocky decor and some Irish themed drink specials. We settled in comfortably just a few rows back from the stage, easily ordered from the cocktail waitress and waited for the show to begin! The Burlesque dancers were beautiful, talented, all gorgeous shapes/sizes & entertaining. Each girl had their own sort of flavor- sensual, quirky, retro, elegant which made for a lot of variety and great entertainment. Where the show fell very short for me was the host, his banter just did nothing for me, from ill timed jokes to the awkward banter between he & the musicians. I actually sort of cringed my way through every act of his, eager for them to bring on the next dancer & put the poor guy out of his misery. I would probably go back during my next visit to see Pierre & give the Clocktower Cabaret crew another spin. read more

Now THIS is entertainment! I kept thinking to myself, watching each performance. I was amused, enticed, and enchanted! Gorgeous ladies, horribly funny gags, and double ententes filled the air (literally, the air performance was fantastic!) This was location four on the Night of Living. I am so glad we stopped in! The burlesque here is racy, and exciting! This was the perfect eye candy, and a place to grab a really tasty snack. So necessary to help buffer the system on an extended evening like this from the drinks which were strong and yummy. My first time here, but not my last. The room is opulent, sumptuous, inviting the senses to explore her curves, her shadows. To linger a little.... Erotic and Elegant! I Can't wait to return! read more

Sadly, I must offer a less than shining review. I saw the 6 Kinseys drag show and the talent was less than professional. I LOVE drag shows and have seen many great ones but this show was not one of them. The show was heavy laden with lyrics. As a song writer/lyricist, I think the lyrics were too detailed and intricate to understand... like an homage to Forbidden Broadway when they spoof Sondheim with the satire of "Into The Words". The performers delivered the entire length of each song instead of cutting a verse and/or chorus to keep the audience's attention and keep the show moving. After the first act, I thought "oh Lord help me... it's only intermission". My friends had lots of compliments about the show but the only comment I was able to offer without sounding like a jerk was, "acapella is VERY hard". The acapella tempo was too fast and the dynamics were too unbalanced to fully understand the lyrics. On top of that, the sound quality was awful. Those poor performers kept having mic issues and that is NOT their fault... its the fault of the sound technicians (shame on you). The pitch was even off and the performers seemed not to be on the same page when singing. The service I received was "alright", but the server kept coming back and back and back to check on us and in doing so, kept blocking our view of the show. The turtle brownie dessert I ordered was also terrible and tasted like it might have been bought from King Soopers, frozen, thawed and served to me. As a performer myself, I expect professionalism from fellow performers. I feel they did the best they could with the sound system but..... need to consider putting a piano and upright bass on stage too to keep tempo and timbre. For $30 a ticket and given the quality of performance I witnessed, I left the cabaret feeling like, "wtf did I just pay for and why was it so expensive?".... All my friends give this establishment at Lannie's shining reviews and always talk highly of the place. I'm kind of left wondering if I was just in a bad mood or what lol. read more

I had fun here on Halloween! A burlesque/comedy show is way cooler than aimlessly wandering around Pearl St with all of my limbs body-painted a different, sticky color, and then sitting down at Hapa and eating a weird, marshmallow-based Halloween sushi roll, which is what I did last year. There were some awesomely mind-boggling acts - women who danced while wrapped up in spinning cocoons, shimmied while balanced on the lips of coffins, swayed while dressed up as 'The Blob'... and of course there was the good old fashioned striptease-while-walking-on-stage-in-high-heels, too. And let's not forget the token male! I fully accept the 'prude' label for my favorite act being the comedian who, in a totally nonsexual way, unexpectedly vacuumed up the plastic bags he was juggling out of the air with a Dustbuster. The overall experience left me actively wondering how any woman can possibly make her nipple tassels swing in opposing circles! read more

I've been to Lannie's a handful of time at this point and I have always has a fantastic time! I've seen magic shows, I've seen drag shows, I've seen burlesque shows and they're all top-notch. All of the servers that work here are great too! What is really fun is that in almost all of the shows there is audience participation and during one of the recent shows I went to, I got pulled up onto stage. The audience interaction and camaraderie it builds with the other patrons is great. I'm not always the first to strike up a conversation with strangers, but after getting up on stage, several people chatted with me during intermission which was a way to meet great fun people. Based on what I've seen people travel from CO Springs and further to go to shows here and there is good reason. The place also seems to be a hot-spot for birthday parties and bachelorette parties! Tickets for shows are moderately priced and if you're local, it's worth dropping your business card in their vase at checkin for an opportunity to get free tickets (which I've won a time or two.) read more

Went in a Sat night to the 11:00 show. Was not impressed at all! Couldn't see anything from the booth and the show was boring.

Wow that was fun! I have never been before, but this was awesome! I've been told that it's nothing like Vegas, but I don't believe that that's a fair deal to compare any normal town establishment to. I was here for my birthday party with a group, but we didn't pay for the whole dress up and drag you up on stage bday party package. It was still great. The hosts were hilarious, and the entertainment varied. You had every shape, size, and ethnicity you could want to see on stage, and every bit was equally as fun as the last. My buddy demanded that we take him back there for his bday celebration in a couple of months as well because he had such a great time. The line forms early, so if you want to see the openers, I'd get there probably an hour ahead of time. We'll definitely be heading back another day to try again. If you want seats at all though, order a day ahead of time because THEY REALLY DO SELL OUT! If you're with a group, ask to be seated together or you'll never know anybody else was even there. Check it out because it's definitely worth every minute we spent waiting or watching while there. read more

Holy crap - we had a blast. My husband and I came out to the late night burlesque for our anniversary and it was tons of fun! Would have given them 5 stars if we hadn't waited over 40 minutes for someone to even take our drink order. None of the waitresses wanted to "claim" our table; they just kept on walking by and wouldn't look at us when we waived. But, hopefully that was a one-off situation. read more

Excellent entertainment at a great value!! There are some exceptionally talented people here, who obviously love what they do. I dare you to go and not love it!! I've been here twice, once for a beer event the week of GABF, and once to take my best friend for her birthday to their 80s themed show. The first time wasn't the full experience, so I'll elaborate on the 80s show. The performers make their own costumes, and choreograph their own routines, and it is non-stop entertainment. They have a performer on stilts, ladies on fabric hanging from the ceiling, men who are hairy and men who are pretty, and best of all the female performers come in all shapes and sizes. Great music, great MC, and incredible service from the waitstaff. The servers are on their game! I never went without a drink all night, and the prices weren't horrendous. Nice little break in the show for a potty break, and complimentary coat check which you'll need as they squeeze a lot of people in. I paid for VIP so we were treated to tiaras and a front row seat for my bestie's birthday. Part of the deal was they'll call the VIP up on stage as some point during the show; the only thing I was slightly disappointed by was that they called up all the VIPS (about 7 of them) at one time for a silly little dance-off. I kind of wished they'd allowed each VIP their own moment on stage, but I understand that would probably be difficult with so many. All in all, this made for a super fun night out! So much love to all the performers for a great show! read more

Had a great time here for E's birthday. We went to the Sexy Circus Friday night show and I was a little apprehensive because most of the reviews were for the Naughty Pierre Saturday night show and I had nothing to go on, but we ended up enjoying ourselves! We had a few drinks in us already, which certainly helped, but overall it was a fun night. One tip I'd give is to get there as soon as the doors open at 11pm. We initially arrived about 15 minutes early and were told we couldn't enter, but we really had to pee!! So we went up the street to Rock Bottom Brewery, used the facilities, and decided to have a beer since we knew the show wouldn't start until around 11:30. Big mistake. We arrived around 11:20 and all the good seats were taken. We got bar seats along the exterior which were okay, but nothing great, and didn't have the ideal vantage point. Also, I'd definitely suggest drinking elsewhere and then only having a glass of wine or bottled beer here. E had an old fashioned and it was pretty bad, but I was perfectly happy with my Riesling. And the truffle popcorn is not recommended. Overall, I thought this was a fun night. If you make to be a little tipsy upon entering and try not to be too much of a prude, I think you'll enjoy yourself! read more

I've always been fascinated by burlesque, and have watched quite a bit on electronic media, but had never gone to a live show. A friend took me to Lannie's last week for my birthday, and we were joined by a few of our other friends. The room is gorgeous - opulent and rich, with a side of slightly cheesy mixed in - perfect. We had cocktails (they don't skimp on the booze in your drinks here - but they don't overdo it, either - I had a perfectly mixed White Russian) and some munchies. The hummus and baba ghanoush were just lovely. My friend asked for extra olives, and we were brought an entire martini glass full of them, in addition to the ones served with the platter. The basket of pita triangles went quickly, and the waiter promptly brought us more when asked. We followed that with the smoked trout. We were a little trepitious, since sometimes smoked trout can be mushy, but it was fantastic. There were only three crackers served with the trout, but I'm sure the waiter would have brought us more had we asked - but we were stuffed at that point. And on to the meat of the matter: the show. The show was absolutely delightful. The dancers were all incredibly talented, and even more importantly, seemed to be enjoying what they were doing. We laughed and clapped and gasped and hooted and hollered. I will definitely be going back to Lannie's, and I will be recommending it to friends. It was an incredible bargain for a whole evening of fun. read more
