Published · Events & Entertainment
Starlets is a 21+ gentlemen's club at 49-09 25th Ave in Woodside, Queens, about 1.8 miles in a straight line from LaGuardia's Terminal B. The room has VIP tables, bottle service and a full kitchen, and the club's site says it has 16 years in New York nightlife behind it. The doors open Wednesday through Sunday at 11 PM and close at 4 AM. Monday and Tuesday the club is closed.
CloserAccess builds and hosts the Starlets website. This is a plain guide to what the club offers, how booking a table works, and the one travel detail every group should know before going out there.

Five nights, each with a name
Every night the club is open has its own name and its own page, and each one starts at 11 PM.
- Ladies Love Clue Wednesdays opens the week.
- Thirsty Thursdays is the Thursday night.
- Reggae vs Trap Friday puts two sounds on one bill. The current listing names DJ Will and Suave Luciano.
- Silhouette Saturdays is the Saturday night, with Bobby Trends and Prostyle named on the listing.
- Startender Sundays closes the week and takes its name from the club's own team.
Starlets doesn't keep one fixed price list for the door. It posts the current entry offer on each date, and those offers change from week to week, so the night you saw advertised last month may look different now. Starlets' weekly events calendar shows the upcoming dates for every night and what each one is offering.
Who the Startenders are
"Startender" is the club's own word, and it gets its own page on the site. Starlets describes the Startenders as its signature hosts: the women who run the floor, pour the bottle, read the table and set the pace of the night. The club calls the role part hospitality and part entertainment. On a birthday table they are the ones who bring out the cake, and Sunday night carries their name.
Tables, birthdays and buyouts
Starlets takes bookings through four services on its site. None of them has a posted price. Each one starts as a request, and the club answers with a quote.
- Birthday VIP Table: a reserved table for your group, with a bottle minimum, a birthday shout-out from the booth and the cake brought out on the floor. The minimum isn't listed online, so ask about it in your request.
- VIP Reservation: reserved seating with table service. The club suggests it for a date night or a small crew of four.
- Bachelor / Bachelorette Night: a VIP table with a dedicated host and reserved seating for the guest of honor and their friends. The form has a field for special requests.
- Custom Event Buyout: the whole venue or part of it, for private parties, brand activations, video shoots and after-parties. Staffing, lighting, security and entertainment are set to fit the event.
The request forms ask for your date, how many people are coming and a budget range. The site's advice is simple: send the date and the size of the group early, and give as much detail as you can, because that is what the quote is built on. You can request a VIP table or party package at Starlets from the club's services page.
Getting there, and getting home at 4 AM
Woodside is easy to reach and harder to leave late. In a straight line, the club is about 1.8 miles from LaGuardia Terminal B, 4.3 miles from Times Square and about 11 miles from JFK. The closest subway stops are 46 St and Northern Blvd on the M and R, and Astoria Blvd on the N and W, each roughly three quarters of a mile away.
The detail worth knowing before the night starts: after about 1:40 AM, no bus runs within half a mile of the club. Most guests take a car service or rideshare home, so a group heading out for an 11 PM start should settle the ride back before it leaves.
Who Starlets suits
The services say a lot about who the club is set up for. Birthday groups get their own table package with the cake and the shout-out built in. Wedding parties get a bachelor or bachelorette night with a host assigned to them. Couples are pointed toward the VIP Reservation. Brands, promoters and production crews can take part or all of the room for an activation, an after-party or a shoot. And because LaGuardia is so close, visitors flying into Queens are a short ride from the door.
The one rule that applies to everyone: guests must be 21 or older.
What's on the site
Each weekly night has a page listing its upcoming dates. Each service has its own page and request form. The Starlets blog covers planning questions, from a Saturday night in Queens to last-minute Halloween plans, and the club's official Instagram is @starletsny.
