Strip Clubs

Saint Petersburg has a great selection of strip clubs with each having their own reputation for their services. At most clubs, you can arrange a private performance in one of their suites; most include beds and wash facilities with the expectation that you pay for what you get up to with the dancer directly. However, a fee will be charged for the room and the ‘dance’.

Zависть Strip Bar (Zavist)

Zavist has a chain of bars in St Petersburg with their strip club located close to the Stroganov Palace at Bolshaya Konyushennaya Street.

• Show Bar, Liteyny Avenue 57, Saint Petersburg
• Topless Bar, Italianskaya Street 5, Saint Petersburg
• Gentleman’s Bar, nab. k. Griboyedova, 17, Saint Petersburg
• Lounge Bar, Vladimirskiy Avenue 9, Saint Petersburg
• Cabaret Bar, Sadovaya Street, 11, Saint Petersburg

All six clubs are popular locations for locals and visitors to the city but it is the strip bar which apparently offers the best shows.

Entrance to the club is free and you can enjoy non-stop strip entertainment (which includes some saucy girl on girl soaping), adult games and even erotic massage in the VIP lounge. A popular activity is taking a full body shot from one of the exotic dancers and drinking it straight from her body.

It’s a stylish club with a modern interior and you can get some private time with your choice of dancer in one of the luxurious boudoirs. You can even enjoy a jacuzzi foam party.

Maximus Club

Decorated with rich frescoes, marble tables, antiques and sheer red drapes, there is a nod to the traditional gentleman’s club here but the atmosphere is one of a modern club.

Seductive girls dance on central stages, sometimes behind rich nets and chains, other times openly in the lounge. There is a large bar and hookah suite with private areas for one-to-one performances.

The Saint Petersburg branch of this popular European brand of strip clubs offers a cornucopia of delights. Situated close to the Yusupov Gardens, Eden is popular for stag weekends and birthdays.

You can arrange for private performances as well as enjoy massage or some one-on-one time with a hostess in one of their well-equipped bedrooms.
