If you know very little about Atlanta, chances are, that you’re aware of the city’s moniker as a strip club capital. It may not be like it used to be (not like Waffle Houses on nearly every corner), but when it comes to Atlanta strip clubs there’s still plenty of them.
The Blue Flame, Magic City, Strokers, etc. They’re all part of the Atlanta booty-shaking matrix that sips a sizeable part of the city working man’s disposable income.
If you’re looking for things to do in Atlanta, a strip club is definitely an option. In this article, we’re going to discuss five things to know about being inside a strip club.
1. What’s It Like Inside An Atlanta Strip Club?
Why Atlanta strip clubs, you ask? In a word, money. The global strip club industry was estimated at more than $100 billion in 2018. The U.S. industry was estimated to be pass $5 billion, making up nearly 30% of the gross revenue in legal adult entertainment.
Strip clubs have long been demure places of ill repute, known to entrap the weak minded with vice. But that all changed due to hip-hop culture, which trumpeted the strip club as a gathering place for the city’s elite ballers, players, athletes and more.
2. How Many Strip Clubs Does Atlanta Have?
Atlanta has about 20 strip clubs in and around its city limits. Some have been around for more than 40 years (the Clermont) and others have closed and reopened under different names in different parts of town.
The city may be home to many strip clubs, but according to some figures there are more than 2,500 strip clubs in the United States.
3. What Was The First Strip Club To Open In Atlanta?
The earliest strip club mentioned in Atlanta may have arisen some time around Prohibition. That’s when Speakeasys and other dank rooms of vice popped up around the country. They originated from 19th century France, where Parisian shows such as the Moulin Rouge and Folies Bergère featured pretty women partially nude dancing in front of big crowds.
Atlanta’s longest continually operated strip club is the Clermont Lounge, which traces its history back to 1965. That was dead in the middle of the civil rights movement when a push for equality spilled over into the city’s lunch counters, hotels and transit service.
4. How Much Do Atlanta Strip Clubs Charge?
Most Atlanta strip clubs charge a nominal fee for entry, even as low as $5 during the daylight hours. The business model revolves heavily around upselling the patron on other elements such as VIP Rooms and extra features.
But here’s the thing to know about costs to get into an Atlanta strip club:
- Many of them are free before 5 p.m.
- Lapdances during the daytime will typically be at a 50% discount
Once the nighttime comes, Atlanta’s strip clubs can charge upwards of $20 for admission, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.
You may be interested in building your own strip club setup at your home. The ingredients aren’t hard to attain.
5. How To Make Your Own DIY Strip Club Setup
If you’ve got a large basement or extra room, here is what you need for your own make-it-rain DIY strip club:
After you buy the equipment, all you’ll need are some dancers. We’ll leave that part up to you!
