With two rooms, each having their own individual ambience and uniqueness, Maxine's draws people back again and again. In the main room, The Hideaway Restaurant is an upscale, sexy room with plenty of space for large parties as well as nooks and couches for more intimate diners. The restaurant offers exceptional West Coast cuisine and live entertainment on Maxine's stage.The Bordello Room Lounge is a warm hang out room where the DJ plays cool hits while you and your date or a few close friends dine and keep hydrated with the poison of your choice.

Enjoy evenings filled with music, live performance and Broadway Burlesque entertainment such as The Candy Girl Cabaret, a group of beautiful girls who are more than just looks as they dance and sing their way into your hearts. Created by the leader in sexy song & dance, Leigh Torlage, The Candy Girl Cabaret is a show not to be missed and a must to be shared with your sweetie. These performances alone will stir up conversation with your date if you happen to run out of things to say.
