The Triangle Club is a strip club located in Northern Gardens, Bohan, in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Description

The club was originally owned by Dwayne Forge. However, after Forge was sent to prison, the club was taken over and by 2008 it is owned by the Trunchez brothers, Javier, Jose and Jesus, who are business associates of Trey Stewart, Forge's former protégé.

The club features two stages with poles where women dance and a back room where the player may receive lap dances. Behind one stage there is a changing room with a pistol and a Health pick up. However, if the player enters this room, the dancers and clients will flee and the guards will attack them. There is also a shotgun in the office to the left of the entrance.

The radio station that plays inside the club is The Vibe 98.8, however, in Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, it is changed to Electro-Choc (The Crookers mix). The private room music is also changed, featuring songs from Vice City FM.

The club has been visited by numerous celebrities, inclduing internet mogul Tony McTony (who severely assaulted one of their strippers), DJ Green Lantern and the cast of America's Next Top Hooker, both part of commercial promotions.

It is one of Niko Bellic's options for outings with friends or by himself. It is also one of two strips clubs accessible to the player (the other being the Honkers Gentlemen's Club in Alderney).

Influence

The club may be based on the Sin City Cabaret Club, a strip club located in The Bronx, New York City.

Prominent appearances in missions

The club is featured in the mission "Undress to Kill", when Niko Bellic kills the Trunchez brothers and reclaims the club for Dwayne Forge. Dwayne is grateful to Niko, but Playboy X is angered due to the Trunchez brothers being business associates of his.
