Going to a strip club is a great way to spend time with your friends. The dancers are beautiful, the atmosphere is fun, and the drinks provided are very diverse. Going to a strip club can often be a tense and awkward experience, whether you're coming for the first time or you've been there many times. Once you get past the guards at the entrance, order a drink and have fun! Make sure you know a safe way to get home if you intend to get drunk. Also, appreciate the dancers, bar attendants and club keepers. Going to a strip club should be a fun experience. If you follow the rules, you'll be fine.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Sign in to a Striptease Club
Step 1. Make sure you bring your ID and wallet
You must provide proof of identity to enter the club. You'll also need to have cash ready to enter, give gratuities, buy drinks, and pay parking fees, if necessary.
Most striptease clubs have ATM machines inside, but you will be charged extra. Prepare enough cash before coming so you don't have to use an ATM machine
Step 2. Check if the club has a certain dress code by asking the caretaker
Some striptease clubs have specific policies on what clothing can be worn. For example, tank tops, large gold necklaces, or white shoes may be prohibited.
Collared shirts and jeans are usually OK, but some clubs have different dress codes
Tips:
Make a phone call to the club or visit its website for information on dress code.
Step 3. Ask the guard if there is an entry fee
Before entering the club, you should know if there is an entry fee to be paid. Ask the guard or security guard who works at the front door if there is a special fee or minimum purchase of drinks to enter the club.
You may only be able to pay the entrance fee with cash. So, make sure you carry at least IDR 200,000 in your wallet
Step 4. Show your proof of identity to the guard
Near the entrance of the club there is a guard who monitors visitors entering and leaving. Show him your ID so he knows you're old enough to enter. If the club requires you to pay an entrance fee, give the money to the bouncer.
You can use a driver's license (SIM), ID card, or even a passport as proof of identity
Step 5. Order a drink at the bar when you enter the club
Drinks sold in the club are usually much more expensive than the original price, but this is how they make a profit because the dancers are generally contract workers. Even if you don't drink alcohol, go to the bar in the club and order a drink to show that you are a good guest.
- If you don't feel like drinking alcohol, opt for non-alcoholic drinks, such as cranberry juice with soda and lime.
- Most striptease clubs have a minimum order limit or require you to order a drink every 30 minutes if you still want to be in the club.
Step 6. Find a seat for you and your friends
After ordering a drink, find a comfortable table or seat. Don't sit near the stage unless you're ready to give the dancer a constant gratuity.
Make sure everyone in your group knows where your table is so you don't get separated when you go to a bar or enjoy a private dance
Method 2 of 3: Following Correct Etiquette
Step 1. Check the applicable rules and policies
The rules and etiquette in strip clubs vary widely, especially when it comes to tipping and touching. Look for a list of club rules and policies posted on the wall or ask the staff there so you don't get kicked out for breaking the rules.
For example, in New Jersey, United States, you are not allowed to tip while dancers are still on stage. Tips may be given after the dance is over
Step 2. Feel free to say “no” to dancers or your own friends
If you're uncomfortable, don't want to spend money on a private dance, or don't want to buy a drink for the dancer, don't be afraid to say no. Don't make up excuses or feel pressured to comply.
- You don't have to do anything unwanted. Don't feel compelled to do the same if your friend does something you don't like.
- Don't be rude or ignore them. Just say "No thanks."
Step 3. Before agreeing to something, first ask the price
To avoid being duped into paying for dances, drinks, or promos at exorbitant prices, it's important to inquire about the prices of these services beforehand. Don't wait after the private dance is over to ask the price because you could be scammed.
For example, if a dancer offers a private dance in the VIP room, say “That sounds great! What's the fare?"
Step 4. Respect the dancers, bouncers and bar attendants
Striptease dancers are ordinary people who should be respected, just like everyone else. Do not be rude, condescending, or insulting to anyone who works at a strip club.
- Don't ask for the dancer's phone number to ask for a date.
- If a dancer refuses a request or walks away from you, don't be offended or run after her.
- Most of the dancers in the strip club work on their own. Don't try to "rescue" them or offer to help them leave the job.
Step 5. Don't ask the dancer to say her real name
Most dancers have pseudonyms used specifically in strip clubs and don't want their personal life to be disturbed. Don't be rude and force them to give their real names or information about their life outside the club.
Respect the wishes of the dancer. If he's uncomfortable with something, don't push him or get offended
Step 6. Don't drink too much alcohol
Getting drunk isn't a good thing, even at a strip club that offers a variety of drinks and encourages you to drink. Getting drunk also runs the risk of making you lose control and spending too much money.
Tips:
Drink plenty of water between drinks to keep yourself hydrated and sober. It can also reduce the feeling of dizziness that appears the next day.
Method 3 of 3: Keeping Yourself Safe
Step 1. Park the vehicle in a safe location
Some striptease clubs have private parking areas guarded by security guards. If you go to a club at night, make sure you park in a nearby and easily visible place so you can pick up your vehicle safely.
Criminals often think people who leave strip clubs have a lot of money. Be aware and park your vehicle in a well-lit area close to the club entrance
Step 2. Find someone to take you home, if you want to get drunk
Most people go to the club to relax and have fun. Drinking alcohol is one of the fun at the strip club. If you want to have a drink, but bring your own vehicle, ask someone who is not drunk to drive you home.
Tips:
If you can't find the person, but are too drunk, leave the car in the club parking lot and get a taxi.
Step 3. Order a Grab or Gojek if everyone in your group wants to get drunk
Coming home together with an online taxi is a powerful way to save on parking costs, and ensure that you and your friends can get home safely. Download the online taxi app on your phone to book a pick-up to and from the strip club.
Save on transportation costs by sharing the cost with your friends
Step 4. Don't leave one of your drunk friends behind
If you're separated from a group of friends, or your friend is too drunk and refuses to come home, don't leave them alone. Go home together to be safer.
- It will probably cost too much money.
- Since he was in a strip club, people would assume he had cash and try to take advantage. He could have been robbed while drunk.
