The Playboy Club (franchise)

The Playboy Club franchise was a hospitality and entertainment brand launched by Playboy Enterprises, often featuring upscale nightclubs and lounges. Known for its association with the Playboy brand, it operated from the 1960s onwards and was characterized by a luxurious atmosphere, with "Bunnies"—referred to as Playboy Bunnies—serving drinks and providing entertainment. The franchise symbolized sophistication, glamour, and adult leisure, becoming a cultural icon in regions where it operated. Over time, the franchise faced criticism and legal challenges, leading to its closure in some markets, but it remains an important part of Playboy's legacy and branding history.
