UK Strip Clubs Blog

While lap dancing usually gets all the headlines there are loads of kinds of venues in the UK apart from those, as we know they will all get put in the same bracket with the new legislation which seems to have been pushed through while the general public had other things on their minds. But what are the other kids of club and why are they different from the usual lap dancing club?

Strip Pub - Either a regular old fashioned boozer with an space set aside for this entertainment or a bar specifically for this entertainment that could not be classed as a night club.

Hostess club - Topless female (or male) hostess drinks delivery, usually a private club.

Burlesque club - A recent addition, they are like a classy old fashioned strip venue or small concert venue with a stage type show with dedicated music, seen by some as an arty version of a table dancing club.

Table dancing club - Girls dance on table, you pay to get in and are expected to tip the girl.

Sports saloon or pub – Like a strip pub except there will be various other forms of entertainment in several rooms.

Pole dancing club – Girls do their stuff on the pole and you tip them as the spirit moves you, the cover price will be around £10 to £20.

Private members club – Could mean anything of course, better checking all the details first. Often though these venues are be more exclusive and better than the usual club, forget packed bars, inflated prices and disinterested dancers, if there are only a limited number of other members.

Lap dancing and football, two things that go togther like…well beer and lap dancing. Both seen as glamourous and somewhat dangerous, both given an injection of cash in 1990′s. I think the lap dancing and strip industry can take a leaf out of top flight football. With the new measures taken to curb the industry certainly has parallels with the beautifull game in the early 90′s. With the rise of hooliganism and falling crowds the game was facing a bleak future.

Jean-Marc Bosman was the Belgian player who changed the face of the game by making contracts for a set duration with his case in 1995, thus making him an employee and not a slave who waited for clubs to free him from his contract. Could the strip industry take a lead from this action? The Bosman ruling gave power and proper rights to players as individuals and the EU parliament could be the place to take back rights that lap dancers have had eroded by arbitrary legislation introduced in the last month.

We need some assistance, lap dancers are people too! Club owners (and more so dancers) have rights and could easily use the Human Rights Act to get back the rights and status they have lost.

Just a quick reminder that UK Strip Clubs has more strip and lap dancing data than ever before. More club listings and more detail on each one than ever before! We have added an individual page for each venue and added new fields for each one to let you make an informed decision before you travel.

We search the web and local news for new clubs opening using our connections in the industry to ensure we have the most accurate and up to date listings available anywhere by a country mile.

We have contact details such as: phone, email and web address where you can often find a contact us box on the clubs website.

Dance type and prices, useful info about what the prices are like after you have paid to get in. Not all venues will tell this…

UK Strip Clubs is the perfect way to save money on your trip, try somewhere different or get something special for a specail occasion. Its 100% free and always will be.

One of the big reasons for new strip and lap dancing legislation changes was the giant jump in venue numbers across the UK, the media and pressure groups were using the figures to their own advantage. There are around 350 venues in the UK. Since 2003 legislation came in making lap dancing venues on a par with karaoke bars and pubs have we really seen an explosion in venue numbers?

The answer is no, before UK Strip Clubs started up in 2005 there were almost the same number of clubs. If anything venues are of a higher standard and better regulated. But anyone who is anti the industry will pick this number out of the air and use it against us. Venues are now spread more around the country than ever before, there is no reason why they have to be in unsuitable positions. Some towns in the UK are always to protest against clubs no matter where they are and what the clubs are like. This has been the final straw that pushed the balance against clubs.

Gone are the days when you can go to your local club, it will be one of the big centres (Birmingham, Soho, Edinburgh, Leeds) or nothing. Venues that have been open for decades will be swept away with the newer venues leaving only a few left.

Walk through any city centre in the country and tell me there are not more pubs, more clubs and more fast food restaurants. Are we to have a cap on their numbers? I am sure that more disturbances are reported outside Mcdonalds on a Saturday Closing time, or your local cheapo Wine Bar than any club. Strip venues have a better record that the average club.

Iceland has banned all strip clubs, opponents of the ban have compared it to Saudi Arabia where females are not allowed to show their faces in the street. Icelandic PM, Johanna Sigurdardottir, has made the usual protests against the industry siting “drug abuse, trafficking and prostitution” as reasons why the changes have been made. If you read the acticle you see the usual comparisons and slander about the industry, comparing the new legislation set for the start of next month to a ban on prostitution, rather a re-classification to prostitution. It should be noted that the Icelandic PM is in fact a lesbian, would she have been do interested if she had not?

Are members of parliament not meant to be impartial, meaning they campaign on things that are presented to them by the public, representing their interest rather than indulging their own interests and dogmas? The history of the forthcoming UK legislation has been submerged in corruption (the female MP who started the ball rolling was sacked as part of the expenses scandal), lack of public approval and of course lack of a long sighted thinking. How will the current changes end up?

The only way I could conceive of the government thinking that the legislation would be a success was if they wanted to close down the industry but were reticent in the current climate, because it will close many venues and put many into unemployment. In times of recession and struggle the extremists come out the closet and find a receptive audience in tabloid readers and religious types.

Will we follow Iceland Iceland in its crusade against the industry?

UK Strip Clubs has periodical ventures out en masse to clubs and our latest trip to Leeds was one to remember! Apart from London and Brimingham, Leeds has the greatest concentration of clubs in the UK (9 clubs) and we just had to see what all the fuss was about! Thanks to all the venues who welcomed us and showed us what they can do!!!

First off was Silks Gentleman Lounge . Thanks to the manager for getting us free entry and some freebies, loved the club and the girls who knew what they were doing! A really quality experience and a classy club! Will be back! No need for the free limo service, but would have been useful in other circumstances. The club was also really popular with other punters, who flocked inside.

Wildcats – Next up was Wildcats, we still had some cash left so why not see another club with gorgeous girls!! Another great venue with staff that are there for their customers.

Plenty of dances and quite a few drinks later the party was ready move back to the hotel to recover a bit before the long trip home.

UK Strip Clubs thanks all the managers for the great service! Its great to make contact with clubs and see the venues in the flesh (so to speak) plus you can never have too many dances…well wallet allowing of course! We cant visit every club we have listed, or can we? Thats a bet I would like to take. Thanks to Silks Gentlemans Lounge and Wildcats for a quality night and some of the best dances we have had for quite a while! No plans for another trip, but it wont be too long!!
