Located poolside at the Empress Hotel, Paradise is a fun gay club with a little something for everyone. Drag shows, live local music and feel-good community events are all popular, but there's always dancing too. The cover charge ranges based on date/event, and summer is definitely the best time to go.

Full of straights and bridesmaids parties
Due to the male strippers on Saturday nights, this place is jam packed with straight couples and cheap bridesmaids getting drunk and groping the strippers as well as being obnoxious. Friday nights is drag show night but that doesn't stop the straight invasion. The bartenders do what they can but since this is one of the only dance floors at the Jersey shore, their hands are tied. And not in a good way. Sad to see our gay establishments being invaded and overrun by rude straights
Is this for gay/lesbian / bi-sexual
If so then count me in! I have been looking for a club that excepts all the above
Great place
Stayed for 3 days, clean, great pool, great restaurant, great drag show, across the street from the beach and new stores and restaurants. Great walking on the boardwalk, beautiful beach. City has been torn down and is in process of rebuilding. Hotel guide (in room) gave me restaurants to go to. Tried several and all were great. Looking forward to going again soon.
