▲A '''''Strip Club''''' is an establishment where attractive people (usually female, although places with male strippers are not uncommon) disrobe on scene for the pleasure of the paying public, often while doing erotic dances and other sex-charged stunts. A staple of the [[Red Light District]] and the [[Wretched Hive]].
The strip club is the usual workplace of the [[Single Mom Stripper]] and the [[Chippendales Dancers]].
Do not confuse them with [[The Oldest Profession|brothels]] (as the strippers in clubs rarely perform actual intercourse with their clients), nor with Hostess clubs (although some strip clubs force the strippers to double as hostesses), nor with [[Go-Go Dancing|go-go dance clubs]] (as go-go dancers never strip, even if they sometimes perform topless).
Strip clubs are [[Stealth Pun|barely]] portrayed accurately in US broadcast media, because of the usual nudity taboos; see [[Bikini Bar]] for how this place is portrayed in media rated PG-13 and below.
Compare [[Burlesque]].

* Strip clubs are pretty common in the ''[[Grand Theft Auto (series)|Grand Theft Auto]]'' series, although the models are rarely nude because of rating restrictions. Many a [[Game Mod|mod]] has been released to remove that restriction.
* Rise's dungeon in ''[[Persona 4]]'' is modeled after a strip club, and features many female-shaped monsters who move suggestively and [[Orgasmic Combat|moan when attacked]], as well as moving silhouettes of pole dancers on the walls. Despite no actual nudity being shown, this dungeon avoids being a [[Bikini Bar]] due to the super-sketchy decoration of the place and the complete sleaziness of its final boss Shadow Rise, who constantly talks in sexual innuendo and very often promises to take off the minimal golden bikini she wears - the only reason she doesn't is because Rise rejects her just in time, prompting her Shadow self's monstrous transformation.
