A common misconception about strip clubs has been floating around for quite a while. A surprising number of guests seem to think that because the gorgeous dancers and flowing liquor are satiating some of their most basic and natural appetites, it gives them a license to act like a full-blown animal.

These people couldn’t be more wrong. Every self-respecting adult entertainment establishment has a set of rules.

We’re going to take a closer look at eight of the most egregious infractions one can commit at a gentlemen’s club. Some are just rude, some are flat-out skeevy and gross, and some are just… annoying. Study this list. Learn it, live it, love it, and you’ll be sure to have the best strip club experience possible.

PUT THAT THING AWAY

No, not that thing. We’re talking about that big ol’ phone of yours. (Although that other thing should never be taken out either.)

The reasoning here is two-fold. First off, it’s rude. Siri is great, but the women on stage are far better. Second of all, phones can record video and take pictures, which is a huge no-no in our industry. Even if this was never your intention, security is most likely going to assume it was, so put it away.

WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS?

These girls are here to show you a great time. That’s their job. They punch in and out just like most of us do. So show a little appreciation and respect.

NO HONOR AMONG THIEVES

See those bills scattered around the stage? Those are for the dancers. If you try to turn our stage into your personal ATM, the only thing you’re going to earn is a very bad night out.

TIP, TIP, TIP

If you’re trying to freeload, you’re going to have a very short night. Plus, dancers talk to each other, and once word gets out that a tightwad is taking up space in our club, you might notice the girls aren’t stopping by your table so much anymore.

THIS AIN’T YOUR JUKEBOX

Each of our dancers has their own unique vibe and tastes, and our DJ knows this. He’s got their music locked and loaded, and he knows what needs to be played. So keep your song requests to yourself, if you please.

PAPER, NOT PLASTIC

Bring. Cash.

Yes, strip club ATM fees suck. We know. But there’s an easy way around that, obviously. Come prepared.

WEAR ACTUAL PANTS

Hey there, sweatpants fans and gym shorts enthusiasts! We see you! And we know exactly what you’re doing. It’s gross. If you try to find a sneaky way to make a mess during a lapdance, you best believe we’ll turn your night into a mess.

NOW YOU’RE READY FOR A GOOD TIME

Stick to these rules and there’s no reason why you can’t have an awesome night out here at Cheetah Gentlemen’s club. At our Palm Beach, Pompano Beach and Hallandale Beach locations, we bring a level of quality and class to the world of Florida strip clubs, and a big part of that comes from great customers who know a thing or two about strip club etiquette.

These rules help keep things safe and fun for everyone, especially the dancers. And if the dancers are happy, you’ll be happy.
