Gentlemen's club and steakhouse on the Spring Garden Street waterfront

About this club

Delilah's bills itself as The Gentlemen's Club and Steakhouse, a strip club with a kitchen behind it, sitting at Spring Garden Street and Columbus Boulevard on the Delaware River waterfront, the stretch that runs between Old City and Northern Liberties. It has been there for more than 25 years, long enough to feel like part of the waterfront rather than a newcomer to it.

A night inside is built around the main showroom, where the stage sets the rhythm and cocktails and bottle service keep the tables going. A cigar menu runs alongside the drinks, and the club carves out VIP areas under names that carry their own atmosphere: the Champagne Room, the Ruby Lounge and the Skybox. Black and Gold membership cards are sold for those who want a standing relationship with the place rather than a single evening.

The dress code is upscale and fashionable, so treat the door as the start of the evening and dress accordingly. Admission is free with proof of a current hotel stay or of game-day attendance, which makes the club an easy stop for visitors already in town for a room or a match.

It is reached by phone or through its own website, and the address at Spring Garden and Columbus puts it within reach of both Old City and Northern Liberties, with the river close by. The steakhouse and the showroom are folded together under one roof.

Delilah's suits people who want a full evening rather than a quick stop: dinner, cigars, cocktails and a show under one roof, with VIP space for a group marking an occasion. The dress code and the membership cards signal a room that expects a little effort, and the waterfront setting gives it a reason to be the destination rather than a detour.
