How to behave in a strip club? A complete guide
Visiting a gentlemen's club is a new experience for many people. Whether it is your first time or you are a regular — the rules of etiquette and respect always apply. A strip club is a place of entertainment, but above all, it is a workplace for many people. Understanding this fact is the first step to a great evening.
At Royal Island in Krakow, we cultivate an atmosphere of mutual respect. Our guests have an excellent time because they know how to behave — and our dancers feel safe and comfortable, which allows them to give their best on stage. It works both ways.
This is a workplace — respect it
Dancers, bartenders, security staff, DJs — everyone is at work. This is their livelihood, not a hobby. Treat them with the same respect you would expect at your own workplace. No inappropriate comments, no judgement, no condescension.
Dancers are professionals — many of them train for years to deliver performances of the highest quality. Appreciate their talent and dedication. A friendly attitude and respect will make your evening significantly better.
Buy drinks — this is not a free show
A strip club is a hospitality venue. As a guest, you are expected to order something to drink. You do not have to spend a fortune — but sitting without any order is simply impolite. Drinks are the backbone of the club's operation and a way of supporting the venue that provides your entertainment.
If a dancer sits at your table and spends time with you — offer her a drink. It is standard practice and a sign of good manners. Remember that her time is valuable.
Tips — a gesture of appreciation, not an obligation
In strip club culture, tipping is an important element. Dancers performing on stage put on a show for the entire room — a small tip is a way to show that you appreciate their performance. For private dances, adding a tip to the price is standard practice.
You do not have to tip every time, and there is no set amount. But if you enjoyed the show — show it. A generous tip is the best calling card of a gentleman.
Dress code — dress with class
Most reputable clubs enforce a dress code. At Royal Island, smart casual is the standard — a collared shirt, elegant trousers, shoes other than trainers. We do not admit guests in tracksuits, flip-flops, or dirty clothing. A neat appearance is a sign of respect for the venue and other guests.
No phones — no photos or videos
This is one of the most important rules. In a strip club, you are absolutely forbidden from taking photos or recording videos. This applies to dancers and other guests alike. Privacy is the foundation of trust. Breaking this rule results in immediate removal — no discussion.
Keep your phone deep in your pocket. If you need to take a call — step outside or go to the designated area. At Royal Island, security enforces this rule particularly strictly.
How to talk to dancers?
Normally — like you would with anyone else. Be polite, friendly, and respectful. Do not ask about personal matters, do not insist on contact outside the club, and do not comment on their appearance in a vulgar way. Compliments are welcome, but they have their limits.
If a dancer declines a private dance or a conversation — accept it without resentment. She has every right to do so. A gentleman accepts rejection with grace.
