Meanings
plural clubstaurants
- A high-end restaurant incorporating elements of a nightclub, such as loud music, disc jockeys, and dancing.
They follow a wave [of] clubstaurants that kicked off in 2000 when Tao Uptown opened, serving Asian-fusion food among over-the-top decor, most notably, a giant Buddha statue. […] But these newer clubstaurants are hoping to draw fun-loving patrons who appreciate some glitz with quality dishes.
