There is a plethora of options when it comes to celebrating a bachelorette party in New York City. One can easily be overwhelmed by all of the different reviews and choices when it comes to picking the best place for an unforgettable bachelorette party, especially if they are from out of town. New York City boasts some of the best nightclubs and nightlife experiences but it can also turn into a nightmare with all of the long lines, rude staff, and difficulties coordinating a large group to an event.
Regardless, here at offMetro.com we have compiled a list of some of the best nightclubs in NYC for bachelorette parties. There is something for every type of bachelorette, whether they want to dance the night away or just sit back and relax at a lounge with good music and beautiful views.
Just like any other major city, the nightclubs in NYC are sometimes difficult to get into and can cause a lot of headaches if one is not prepared. We’ve curated a list that we believe would provide you and your bachelorette party with some of the best experiences that NYC nightlife has to offer.
1. Lavo Nightclub NYC
Lavo is one of the most famous nightclubs in the world with famous guest DJs on a regular basis. There is usually a line out the door every weekend, filled with people waiting to get in. Cars and taxis are usually double parked outside so once you get to that area of midtown Manhattan, it may be easier to just get dropped off nearby.
Tickets are usually required unless you have connections with a promoter to get onto a guestlist. The club itself is a lot of fun with a lot of beautiful people dancing the night away. Definitely look into going to Lavo if you are looking to celebrate a bachelorette party in NYC.

2. Exotique Men Male Revue Show
One of the hottest male strip clubs in NYC is Exotique Men. With shows every Friday and Saturday night, the male dance group performs for bachelorettes, birthdays and all other special events and occasions. Male strippers are certainly a staple in any bachelorette party and help lead to a long and happy marriage. It is important to book tickets early (General Admission starts at $30) because these guys sell out quickly.
We highly recommend reserving a VIP table because it comes with a bottle of champagne and they invite your special lady up to the stage to become a part of the show, something known as the “hot seat.” Even if male strippers aren’t your bachelorette’s thing, she will have a blast partying with the male strippers of Exotique Men. You can also dance the night away after their show is over as their venue turns into one of NYC’s hottest clubs.

The queens of Lips know how to get the party started and bring the energy. So, if you’re not sure how to get the evening started, book your tickets to Lips today and they will take care of the rest.
