UK Strip Clubs Blog

There will be lap dancing in Finsbury in London, no real story there. But the reason the venue made for applying for the licence was that the recession/credit crunch has forced their hand to keep open they need to offer something more to their customers. Bar Aquarium in Old Street will have ‘exotic dancers’ a few night a week, the council have approved the licence.

As mentioned in my blogs and forum posts, despite the fact that strip venues are generally bucking the trend and making good money the government will have another go with their Policing and crime bill 2009 this year making every lap dancing and stripper a ’sex worker’ and every strip club a decriminalised zone. Maybe the news about Bar Aquarium is a bit more realistic, with revenue down, more outgoings such as benefits to pay the government is hardly going to refuse money

With money tighter and tighter more venues will be looking to add other strings to their bow to increase revenue, it would make sense to add a proven money maker like strip nights. The big question will be after the recent backlash will councils still approve clubs or are they being told to refuse applications even though we are facing a recession?

Either way more and more clubs will be looking at trying this option!

As the doom and gloom press driven machine goes into overdrive you might be forgiven for thinking that we were about to see rationing books and epic Soviet style shortages during 2009, but in the real world there is still plenty of spare money out there being spent every week. There are still people going out for a good night out, and still clubs opening and being re-invented as bigger and better clubs. In the last few weeks there are have been several new clubs announced, if you find any that are not listed below let me know and we can get them listed:

Little Black Book – Hartlepool

Diamonds and Pearls – Henley-on-Thames

Blush Table Dancing Venue – London –

Cream Tiger – Rugby

In addition, Spearmint Rhino will open their new Glasgow club in the next few weeks, making it the first one north of the border. Whether this will mean there are more venues to follow will remain to be seen. Hustler opened its first UK club and there may be more where that came from. There are still a huge number of clubs and there must all have a certain amount of custom to keep going, clubs will need to adapt or die in the same way as any other company, but it does seem that the demand and market is still there at least for the present time!
