chain of upscale adult clubs and until last year operated
under the Rick’s Cabaret brand.
The Austin location is the fifth Club Onyx, which are popular among
athletes, musicians and African-American professionals and businessmen.
The other clubs are located in Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas
and Charlotte.
“We took a long and careful look at the Austin market and determined
that an upscale urban club would be ideal here,” said Ed Anakar,
Director of Operations of Rick’s Cabaret and originator of the Club Onyx
concept five years ago in Houston. “This format has proven to be a
winner in each of the markets where we’ve launched. We do particularly
well in big sports towns, and this is one reason we chose to open during
the very popular Texas Relays weekend in Austin, which draws thousands
of fans into the city who are always up for a good time.”
