Club 281

Club 281 began in Miami, where Mr. France Delisle visited the Crazy Horse bar. The bar offers a rare form of entertainment: onstage, men performed a striptease, to the delight of a mostly female clientele.

The owner of the Café placed an ad in the newspaper: nude dancers wanted. He wondered who would want to dance in the buff. To his astonishment, over 75 men showed up for the first audition.

In fact, a march gathering over 100,000 women took place on St. Catherine Street. Without being contrived, the occasion was nonetheless apt for the 281 to officially open its doors (281 was the civic address of the establishment). on April 14, 1980 thus marked the beginning of a special rapport between women and this bar, which in a sense became the symbol of the liberated woman. The bar met with overwhelming success.
