Strip Clubs in Paris

5 selected venues

A strip club in Paris, a gentlemen's club in American terms, is a bar with a stage where performers dance, and private spaces where a dance is paid for by the song. It is not a cabaret: in a cabaret you buy a ticket for a seated, choreographed show; in a strip club you pay an entry fee, your drinks and any private dance you choose, at prices posted at the door.

Three things to check before you go. The prices, always posted: entry, drinks and private dances are announced beforehand, and a club that keeps them vague is one to avoid. The door policy: most Paris clubs now welcome women and couples, and select on attire and behaviour rather than on who you come with. And the hours: clubs open late and run into the early morning. Each listing below links to the club's own site.

Frequently asked questions

Strip club and gentlemen's club are two names for the same thing, the second being the American term: a bar, a stage, performers, and private dances paid by the song. A cabaret is a seated show with a ticket and a fixed programme. Paris has both, and The Door lists cabarets and burlesque shows on their own pages.
Entry is €20 to €50, the first drink €12 to €18, and a private dance €60 to €150. For a standard night with entry, two drinks and one dance, plan on €100 to €240 per person. Prices are posted at the door and announced before any dance.
Yes, in nearly all Paris clubs, and mixed groups too. Selection at the door is about attire and behaviour, not about who you come with.
A private dance takes place in a dedicated space, an alcove or a private lounge, for one to three songs. The price is announced beforehand, the duration is set, and physical contact is framed by the house rules. There is no obligation beyond the agreed price.
Evening wear is recommended, and required at the more upmarket clubs, where jeans and sneakers may be refused. A jacket and dress shoes are the safe choice everywhere.
A cabaret is the seated, no-surprises option for a large or mixed group. A strip club takes groups too, but the door selection applies to groups as to anyone, and some clubs limit group size or ask you to book. For a group of six or more, call ahead.
Tipping is welcome but it is not the American ritual: the price of a dance is fixed and announced beforehand, and that is what you pay. A cash tip handed to the performer is appreciated. Avoid tipping through the management.
