The Condor Night Club is a striptease bar or topless bar in the North Beach section of San Francisco, in California, USA. The club opened in 1964.

The club is located at the corner of Broadway and Columbus Avenue. The large lit sign in front of the club featured a picture of Carol Doda. The sign had red lights on the image of her breasts. She was the first topless entertainer there and the most famous. Her première topless dance occurred on the evening of June 19, 1964.

The club went bottomless (i.e. the dancers began performing fully nude) on September 3, 1969. In 1972, bottomless nude dancing became illegal in establishments that served alcohol in California, but Carol Doda continued dancing there topless until 1986.

There was a bizarre death at the Condor Club in November 1983, the bouncer Jimmy Ferrozzo and his girlfiend, Theresa Hill, an exotic dancer at 4 am decided it would be fun to make love on top the on top of the famous white piano that Carol Doda made her entrance from the ceiling lowered by cables. The lift was accidentally turned on, hitting the ceiling, killing Jimmy, the bouncer. Theresa lived the few inches of difference between the bouncer's body and the dancer.
