Victrola (Burlesque Club)
About This Location
Victrola, the burlesque club owned by Chuck Bass, was one of the most significant fictional venues in Gossip Girl. Though the interior was a set, establishing shots were filmed at various NYC locations. Victrola was where Chuck and Blair's relationship truly began — Blair's impromptu burlesque performance in Season 1 Episode 7 is one of the show's most iconic moments. The club represented Chuck's first serious business venture and his transition from playboy to entrepreneur.
