The 100 Highest-Grossing Nightclubs, Bars And Lounges

Restaurant industry research firm Technomic has released its annual list of the Top 100 Nightclub & Bars, detailing the highest grossing clubs in the country. Altogether, the 100 venues on the list generated revenue totaling $1.4 billion.

Not surprisingly, Las Vegas nightclubs make up eight of the top 10 spots, with the top four all belonging to Vegas hot spots: Marquee ($70-$80 million), XS ($60-$70 million), TAO $60-$70 million) and Pure ($45-$60 million). Miami nightclub LIV ($35-$45 million) came in at number five and New York's LAVO ($25-$35 million) reached the tenth spot.

Love nightclub is under new ownership and is doing great and it's still a minority owned business. It has a great track record so far.

I have no idea who made this list up... from the looks of it; probably someone from Las Vegas... What a BS list this is. Oh, and by the way, Mayor Vincent Gray had his sham of a "victory" party at Club Love in DC... They owe the city almost 1 million in taxes that they haven't paid. Show's you what kind of Mayor DC has... and what kind of list this really is!

I don't know where this article got it's information, but there are bars in Texas that are listed are listed here that don't gross as much as the actual top grossing bars (topless clubs) in Texas. In Texas the top grossing bars / clubs are listed by how much alcohol tax they pay and the ones listed here are not the ones that are listed by the state of Texas.

I worked at Tao as a bouncer for 14 months. I wouldn't trade those memories for anything.

I grew up in Vegas and I tell ya, those clubs are some of the best! but you pay a fortune in drinks and don't forget the cover charge. Gotta check them out at least once though :D
