The Penthouse Club on Fallsway is getting ready for its second act, with Kirkendoll Management set to reopen the strip club and nightlife spot after a multimillion-dollar overhaul. The grand reopening weekend is slated for June 12, 2026, and the two-floor venue has been reworked into more than 9,000 square feet of entertainment, including a new in-club steakhouse called Penthouse Prime. The relaunch is pitched as a mash-up of a high-energy mainstream nightclub, adult entertainment, and an upgraded food-and-drink program.
In a press release via PR Newswire, Kirkendoll said it poured $5 million into renovating the 615 Fallsway space, expanded the club across two floors and more than 9,000 square feet, and set the reopening for the weekend of June 12. The company framed the redesign as a hybrid nightclub and adult-entertainment concept and shared CGI renderings of the revamped interior. The release also laid out the plans for the venue’s dining sections and detailed a slate of production and lighting upgrades.
Who’s behind the relaunch
Kirkendoll Management, founded in 1987 and based in New Orleans, is operating the refreshed Penthouse Club and serves as the brand’s global licensor, according to Kirkendoll Management. The firm has been growing the Penthouse network while standardizing a full hospitality model across its clubs, pulling nightlife operations closer to traditional restaurant and bar playbooks. For Baltimore, Kirkendoll says it has staffed the opening with senior operators who bring decades of nightclub and restaurant experience into the mix.
Penthouse Prime and the food program
Penthouse Prime is set to operate as an in-club steakhouse off a new full-service kitchen and a reserved dining section on the main floor. The menu leans on DemKota Ranch Black Angus beef, with cuts graded above USDA Prime, and a tight cocktail list, according to PR Newswire. The dining program is led by Food & Beverage Director Pete Montecino, who cites decades in restaurant operations, including long tenures with Ruth’s Chris, on his LinkedIn.
Operations and design
Operations for the reboot were steered by Ryan Waterman, Kirkendoll’s vice president of operations, who joined the company after more than a decade on the opening team at Miami’s E11EVEN, according to Kirkendoll Management. The company credits Waterman with building out the club’s operational playbook and leading the Baltimore construction and launch. The club’s Baltimore site lists the 615 Fallsway address and a phone number for reservations and staffing inquiries on the Penthouse Club Baltimore page.
The reopening positions the Penthouse Club as a late-night destination with a more serious culinary hook, adding to a wave of nightlife investments aimed at keeping weekend crowds in the city. Tickets, hours, and reservation details are set to go live on the club’s site as the June opening draws closer.
