Atlanta has been called the strip club capital of the South — and it’s no wonder why.
If you’re looking for some adult things to do in Atlanta, pulling up to an Atlanta strip joint is apparently high on the list.
Atlanta has long been known as an adult destination at night. But your girlfriends and wives can also look the part. The best strip clubs in Atlanta have been found in strip malls, defunct business buildings downtown and in the suburbs and southwestern parts of the city.

Blue Ivory Nightclub
599 Whitehall St SW, Atlanta, GA 30303

The dancers come out in scantily clad nightwear and then quickly get down to business.
The Clermont Lounge has been in the basement of the Clermont Motor Hotel since the late 1960s, making it the city’s oldest active strip club. The good thing is that if you get there before 8 p.m., it’s free.
Club Babes

Wax is safe, they provide parking security for an option of $5, $10, $20. Entry price is between $5 to $$20. Drinks are reasonable. Dances are $5. Very pretty girls depending on the night u go. If the girl likes she will then ask for VIP dance with a happy ending.”
Deja Vu 2
2997 Campbellton Rd SW, Atlanta, GA 30311
Here’s what one reviewer said about Deja Vu 2: “Dances cost $5 dances vary from air/mild contact … to heavy grinding contact. It really depends on the dancer. Most of these women keep their bikinis on while they dance, but a few of the bad girls will pull out the breasts and go topless if you’re tipping for a long time.
“One of the better dancers is going to be a tall lightskin older woman with an outstanding body and natural big ass, named Phoenix Sunshine. She’s one of the few women left who can jump up and down and make her booty clap. Fake silicone booty women can’t do this. Great personality as well.”
Diamonds Of Atlanta
1715 Northside Dr NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
The West Midtown strip club Diamonds of Atlanta, or Diamonds, opened in 2017 in the space formerly reserved for Scores. A Google reviewer said this about Diamonds: “I was here for my bachelor’s party and I had a great time,I got 2 lap dances from two beautiful girls I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone.!!”

1635 Moreland Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30316
Foxy Lady Lounge is now known as The Office at the same address. The club is well known to Atlanta Eastsiders and is a neighborhood hangout with cheap wings and good sights.
A reviewer of this Atlanta strip club said on Facebook: “Southeast Atlanta’s hangout spot to hit up after you leave either the starlight drive inn or 4Seasons. Down to earth adult ent club, good food drinks and no doubt shawty some of the sexy dancers in ATL.”
Another reviewer on Yelp said this: “Ok this club is literally demonstrates that any woman with a vagina can be a stripper. Never in my life have I been to a strip club and where the majority of the girls in their looks 4 months pregnant. And not only that most those chicks was mad ugly. There was tons of cars outside but hardly any dudes inside and upon entering I saw a bunch hideous looking females who looked like worn out hookers off Fulton Industrial Blvd! ”
Goldrush Showbar
2608 Metropolitan Pkwy SW, Atlanta, GA 30315
Located on Metropolitan Parkway near Cleveland Avenue, Goldrush Showbar has been catering to southwest Atlanta patrons for more than 15 years. The fact that it’s less than 5 minutes from the airport and right off I-85 only helps it pull visiting clientele. Goldrush has no cover charge before 7 p.m. and every Wednesday is $5 dances and $5 drinks.
Here’s what one Google reviewer said of the place: “I find the place to be more entertaining than any other strip club in Georgia. One of the most things I like was the girls are nice, friendly, and very polite to customers …. the staff is super cool and respectful, especially Edwin, the security guard.”
Magic City
241 Forsyth St SW Atlanta, Ga. 30303
Perhaps the city’s best-known strip club, Magic City has been one of the biggest names in exotic dancing in not only the Southeast but the whole United States. Come there on a Monday night and you just might see any number of celebrities that call Atlanta home, from professional football players to actors and reality TV stars and, yes, rappers like Future, who owes the joint much of his success and vice versa.
Magic City runs a tight ship and is known to have some of the most “skillful” dancers in the city, as well as some of the best-paid dancers (supposedly). The chicken wings are good, too!
Oasis Goodtime Emporium
6363 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Atlanta, GA 30360
Oasis Goodtime Emporium, known to locals as just Oasis, has the distinction of being open longer every night (morning) than any other metro Atlanta strip club: 4 .m.
The laid-back Doraville establishment has made a name for itself as featuring dancers who aren’t trying to be reality TV stars or date ballers. Billed as Atlanta’s best “burlesque restaurant,” Oasis creates an atmosphere is seen as down to earth. And the food deals make sure patrons come through the doors: Come for the girls, stay for the free buffet every day from 4 to 7 p.m.
A Yelp review said this: “Not a bad place if looking to see nudity, have cheap drinks and be low key. It’s not the “high class” place with a huge sticker price. The girls aren’t that bad compared to other small strip joints like follies and cabaret. Yes, it’s not pink pony or cheetah but it’s also doesn’t come with the huge cover charge and attitude like pony. If looking for higher class hands down cheetah but keep in mind most of those girls are hand picked based solely on perfection and most of them have followings and so on.”
ONYX
1888 Cheshire Bridge Rd Atlanta, Ga 30324
Onyx, one of a stable of like-named clubs around America, stands out as part nightclub, part circus. Big-bodied women swinging on poles is sport in this ladies lair.
The various stages highlight the many dancers and their strengths, some big, some small, all of them acrobatic and even athletic. During the day time, you can get dances for as little as $5 until the evening.
Peaches
779 Ralph David Abernathy Blvd, SW Atlanta, Ga. 30310
Peaches Atlanta, located in the West End area of the city, hosts a free “Customer Appreciation” night each week.
Here’s what one reviewer said on Yelp: “It’s in the hood but everyone is mad cool. Parking is secured and $10. The ladies were beautiful and polite. The drinks were on ONE. Andddddd they have food which wasn’t bad.”
Tattletale Lounge
2075 Piedmont Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30324
One of Buckhead’s most renown strip clubs, Tattletale Lounge, known to locals as Tattletales, opens at 1 p.m. on weekdays. You can gain free entry with an event stub, which shows you have patronized another venue in the city. Located at the I-85 underpass, Tattletale also offers a free sandwich and chips with a drink purchase between 1 and 6 p.m. daily.
Here’s what one reviewer said on Yelp: “Went last night and had a blast. Bottle service starting at $100, $10 lap dances, beautiful girls, great music and a fun crowd. Going earlier to make sure you can get dances from the girls you really like is a good idea, cause most of them get booked in private rooms for hours as the night progresses.”
Strokers
1353 Brockett Rd, Clarkston, GA 30021
Tucked away in a downtrodden strip mall in little Clarkston, Georgia, Strokers has made a name for itself as one of the best strip clubs outside I-285. The one thing it has going for it, which other strip clubs lack, is that Strokers pulls an international crowd, thanks to Clarkston’s moniker as the “United Nations” of the South. There are more immigrants in the city’s 2-mile radius than there are in any other mile of the United States. That means Strokers’ brand recognition is known from the Balkans to Zimbabwe and all parts in between.
Pink Pony
1837 Corporate Blvd NE, Atlanta, GA 30329
Tucked between the Brookhaven and Druid HIlls area of Atlanta, the Pink Pony has a loyal following that attracts some of the city’s top executives (AT&T is nearby) as well as neighbors from the Buford Highway corridor. The club’s high-priced clientele and penchant to attract some of the nation’s top girls (like Penthouse Pet of the Year Kenna James) has made it a legendary stop for bachelor parties through the years.
One Google reviewer said this: “My husband and I always have a blast when we go. We only go there to see Pyro. She is the best dancer and entertainer.”
Pin Ups
2788 E Ponce de Leon Ave, Atlanta, GA 30030
You wouldn’t think Pin Ups could hold its own if you judged it by the building alone. Located in Decatur, PIn Ups stands alone as the strip club for those with the most stamina. Open Thursday through Sunday until the ungodly ohour of 8 a.m., the strip club has all the lures: $5 lap dances, $5 wings, and even a breakfast menu. Free before 5 p.m.
V Live
If rap artists such as Drake and 2Chainz is any indication, V Live is the place to be. V Live is owned by Atlanta rapper T.I. and is a celebrity magnet. Known for its “stripper job fair,” V Live has weekly events like “Yo Atl Raps in Atlanta” and “Trendsetter Thursdays.” Whether you’re a baller or not though, the $20 for parking is a big turnoff.
