As 2024 comes to a close, we sat down with the management team at Club 390 to take a look back on the past two decades.
From opening their doors, back in 2002, to becoming Chicagoland’s premiere adult entertainment venue, they had plenty to share about the succeeding over the past two decades.
Interviewer: Congrats, 20 years! That’s amazing. How did Club 390 get started?
Management: Thank you. It’s crazy to think it’s been 20 years! We started with the idea of creating a place where people could relax, enjoy a drink, and enjoy beautiful entertainers. We didn’t just want another club—we wanted to create something special, where the feeling was luxurious but still welcoming. Over the years, we have remained committed to that vision while evolving to meet the expectations of our guests.
Interviewer: What’s been the biggest challenge over the years?
Management: We’ve seen our fair share of challenges. Keeping up with changes in the industry, navigating through tough times like the pandemic, and always staying ahead of the competition. However, those challenges pushed us to be even better. Whether it was upgrading the venue or trying new ideas, we’ve grown from every experience.
Interviewer: What makes Club 390 different from other clubs?
Management: Easy—our attention to detail, and our commitment to excellence. From the incredible entertainers to the drinks, to the atmosphere, we put thought into every detail. And we’ve got this unique energy here. It’s classy, fun, plus we offer a full liquor bar. Our tag line, “All the Liquor, None of the Clothes,” reflects our playful and sophisticated approach. Plus, we’re constantly introducing new themes, events, and VIP experiences that keep things fresh and exciting.
Interviewer: The 20th Anniversary celebration was a hit! What was your favorite part?
Management: That was such a great week! It’s honestly hard to pick just one part. The Dancing Queen Contest hosted by Cristina Villegas was unforgettable, and DJ Lisa Pizza brought the perfect vibe. Seeing so many familiar faces from over the years as well as new ones celebrating with us was the highlight. For us, it’s really all about creating great memories for our team and guests.
Interviewer: Any standout memories or milestones from the last 20 years?
Management: Too many to count! One that stands out is expanding our VIP area—it was a game-changer for the experience here. And then there’s the first time we threw a themed party. It set the tone for a lot of the great events we’ve had since, that our guests truly enjoy.
Interviewer: What’s next for Club 390?
Management: Oh, we’ve got plenty in the works! Our guests can expect even bigger events, great surprises, and new ways to enjoy the Club 390 experience. Our team is always looking for ways to raise the bar—literally and figuratively. And, of course, we will always feature Chicagoland’s most beautiful entertainers.
Interviewer: Before we finish, any final thoughts for your guests and team?
Management: Just a huge thank you to everyone! To our great entertainers, our amazing staff who keep this place running smoothly, and of course, our wonderfully loyal guests, who’ve supported us through it all. They’re truly the reason Club 390 is what it is today. We are looking forward to another 20 years of All the Liquor, None of the Clothes.
