"You can likely expect a bar serving alcohol, and therefore probably some associated aromas-no matter how clean an establishment is, there's usually at least a faint whiff of beer and liquor. Clubs are usually motivated to prevent outright drunkenness, and you can attend for the first time on a slow afternoon. As long as you're polite and tip well, most staff and dancers will be happy to guide you."
"There's an incredibly complex and diverse set of interactions between various local laws, mainly regarding decency and liquor, which mean that exactly what is legally allowed in a club changes from county to county (for anyone curious, burlesque dancer, headmistress of the New York School of Burlesque, and former feature dancer Jo Weldon presents that information and how it informed her costuming in her one woman show WHat I wORE To Work, which is discussed on this podcast)."
Strip clubs post basic rules that commonly ban customers from touching workers and starting fights, and may include firearms policies. Local decency and liquor laws vary by county and affect what is legally permitted in each venue. Most clubs serve alcohol and often carry a faint smell of beer or liquor despite cleanliness. Clubs typically work to prevent excessive drunkenness, and first-time visitors can attend during slow afternoons. Politeness and appropriate tipping encourage staff and dancers to offer guidance. Visitors should bring cash and clarify exact charges for extras such as lap dances or buying a drink before agreeing.
