HTC-1

A dancer left a comment which stated that she used to really enjoy working at Love & Rockets and that it had been a great venue for money.

Love & Rockets, Fortitude Valley

HTC-2

A dancer left a comment which stated that she chose Love & Rockets because of its convenient location, comparing it to clubs like Candy Club and Honey Bee’s. She felt the income there was more consistent overall.

Love & Rockets, Fortitude Valley

HTC-3

A dancer left a comment which stated that she worked at Love & Rockets in the Valley but found the rostering less flexible than other clubs she’d worked at.

Love & Rockets, Fortitude Valley

HTC-4

Style & Vibe: Similar to Honey B’s but with more of a traditional strip club feel. The crowd and lineup include more tattooed dancers, and pole-dancing skills are more valued here. The overall vibe leans toward “party girl” energy, with most earnings coming from booth dances. Uniform: Slightly less strict than Honey B’s, but still follows similar standards. Door Fee: Around $30 per shift. Minimum Shifts: Typically 3 per week. Cut Percentage: Same structure as Honey B’s. Earning Potential: Generally higher than Honey B’s, thanks to the busier location and more opportunities for stage tips. Customer Type: Mainly younger men from the Valley area, along with some wealthier or “gangster” types who tend to keep it classy and are usually fun. Management: Described as inconsistent—sometimes strict and emotionally demanding, though management had recently changed, so experiences may now vary. Dancer Culture: Similar to Honey B’s, but noticeably more competitive overall.

Love & Rockets, Fortitude Valley

HTC-5

A dancer left a comment which stated that the club charged a higher door fee unless dancers committed to four shifts per week. She added that the uniform policy was quite strict, which was difficult while managing a health issue and working fewer hours.

Love & Rockets, Fortitude Valley

HTC-6

A dancer left a comment which stated that management were very nasty and were the type to throw everything in your locker away to tell you you’re fire. She said that management would make constant comments on your weight and if you have an eating disorder, not to go to this club.

Love & Rockets, Fortitude Valley

HTC-7

A dancer left a comment which stated that the staff were lovely but that management preferred natural hair colours and often leaned toward younger dancers unless they were already well-known.

Love & Rockets, Fortitude Valley

HTC-8

A dancer left a comment which stated that there was a noticeable difference between the 20-minute and 30-minute dances, and it could be frustrating when customers only wanted the shorter ones.

Love & Rockets, Fortitude Valley

HTC-9

A dancer left a comment which stated that Brisbane in general seemed slow for work at the time, but she’d mostly heard positive things about Love & Rockets.

Love & Rockets, Fortitude Valley

HTC-10

A dancer left a comment which stated that several girls had left because business had gone quiet. She mentioned that some no longer felt safe there and emphasised how important good management, respectful clientele, and a safe work environment are to her.

Love & Rockets, Fortitude Valley

HTC-11

A dancer left a comment which stated that Candy Club attracted many big spenders but that the environment among dancers could occasionally feel competitive.

Candy Club, Fortitude Valley

HTC-12

A dancer left a comment which stated that Candy Club was generally a good place to work but often quiet, with unpredictable earnings. She said some nights one generous customer could make the shift worthwhile, while other nights she might leave with very little.

Candy Club, Fortitude Valley

HTC-13

A dancer left a comment which stated that Candy Club was a beautiful, high-end venue with great management, run by the same team as Eye Candy. She mentioned there were plenty of big spenders, though the atmosphere among dancers could sometimes feel a bit competitive or unfriendly.

Candy Club, Fortitude Valley

HTC-14

A dancer left a comment which stated that the club had very strict lingerie requirements and a strange layout. She said she hadn’t heard much about it but believed it was owned by the same company as Eye Candy. She mentioned that she had visited once and didn’t enjoy it.

Candy Club, Fortitude Valley

HTC-15

A dancer left a comment which stated that Candy Club Brisbane was a large four-level venue (open most weekends) that could use renovation but was otherwise a great place to work. She said the cut was 60/40 to dancers, door fees were $30–50, and dancers kept all tips. Required attire included stockings, 6-inch heels, high-end lingerie and jewellery.

Candy Club, Fortitude Valley

HTC-16

A dancer left a comment which stated that she liked being able to wear sneakers at the club because it helped with sore feet. She said the manager, Jordan, used to be a dancer herself and was genuinely lovely, caring about the girls who worked there. She mentioned that the club often ran promotions with free shots, which made it fun if you liked to drink. Dancers kept all their dance money, and while there were scheduled stage sets, you could pay another dancer around $20 to take your spot if you wanted to leave early. She added that trial shifts weren’t something to stress over - management didn’t watch too closely and were usually too busy for that, so confidence and effort went a long way.

Kittens, Brisbane City

HTC-17

A dancer left a comment which stated that the club was beautiful and that dancers kept 100% of their dance and tip money, only paying a shift fee. She said they were mainly hiring full-time dancers but allowed between two and seven shifts per week.

Kittens, Brisbane City

HTC-18

A dancer left a comment which stated that Kittens was more laid back than any other club in Brisbane.

Kittens, Brisbane City

HTC-19

A dancer left a comment which stated that she would generally recommend Kittens because dancers kept all of their earnings, allowing them to make the most out of what they earned without sharing profits. She said the club had a wild, party-style atmosphere that was energetic and lively around the clock. She added that while it suited those who enjoyed a rowdy environment, dancers who preferred a calmer vibe might be better off working elsewhere.

Kittens, Brisbane City

HTC-20

A dancer left a comment which stated that while she didn’t want to suggest all dancers at Kittens offered extras, several dancers had told her they left the club because of sexual activity (eg. a girl getting fingered right next to her). She mentioned that a former coworker had shared she got her pussy licked on stage, although that was over a year ago and may no longer reflect the current environment. She added that because Kittens is the only club that doesn’t take a cut, she still recommends it to customers and said it’s the only strip club she personally visits for fun.

Kittens, Brisbane City

HTC-21

A dancer left a comment which stated that, as someone currently working at Kittens, she could confirm that no one there offered extras. She explained that mouth contact was allowed during dances but was always at the dancer’s discretion and completely legal. She said she had worked there for almost a year and had never seen or heard of anyone doing more than kissing.

Kittens, Brisbane City

HTC-22

A dancer left a comment which stated the following about Kittens Brisbane: Overview: Described as Brisbane’s newest club and an extension of the Melbourne-based brand. She called it “interesting,” extremely successful, and said it was easily the highest-earning club in Queensland. Dancers kept all of their earnings. Environment: The club was described as very competitive, highly sexual, and known for having a looser atmosphere than most others. She mentioned there had previously been reports of dancers performing extras, though this appeared to have changed. Mouth contact was reportedly allowed at dancer discretion. Vibe: She said it suited confident, experienced dancers who could handle themselves and maintain boundaries. It was not a good fit for new or baby strippers. Perks: Free pizza provided daily. Door Fee: Varied between weekdays and weekends. Minimum Shifts: Two per week. Cut Percentage: None - dancers kept 100% of their earnings. Earning Potential: Extremely high and consistent. She said it wasn’t unusual for dancers to make around $1,000 or more per night. Customer Type: A mix of gangsters, wannabe gangsters, and drunk young men - essentially, a snapshot of Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley nightlife crowd. Management: Described as very lenient, with almost no dress code. There were some fees for leaving early or missing shifts, generally under $150. She said management wasn’t known to be creepy. Dancer Culture: Highly competitive and made up of experienced dancers who mostly kept to themselves. “Mind your business” was her takeaway.

Kittens, Brisbane City

HTC-23

A dancer left a detailed comment which stated that Kittens Brisbane allows dancers to keep 100% of their lap dance earnings, all in cash, with only a small house fee that ranges from $20–$70 depending on start time. During major events like Magic Round, the fee increases to $100–$150. The club is relaxed about attire, with dancers wearing Honey Birdette lingerie, bikinis, or bodystockings paired with heels or boots. She described the venue as clean and well set out, featuring a main stage with two poles (static and spin), a heart-shaped bath with a ceiling shower, and several smaller stages — including corner and bar stages and one near the lap room with an aerial hoop. The upstairs indoor smoking area is for dancers only. Stage sets run for 15 minutes, and once your final set is done you can leave. The club opens at 7 pm and closes around 2–3 am. Dancers set their own tipping amounts for nudity. There’s no accommodation provided. She said most staff and dancers were friendly, though some girls could be cliquey on busy nights. She confirmed that travelling dancers are accepted, with no minimum shifts required. Local dancers must work at least two shifts per week (one weekday, one weekend). Fines apply for missed stages or no-shows, but shifts can be traded or covered by paying another dancer. There are no late fines — only higher house fees for later starts. She added that talk of girls “pushing extras” was exaggerated and that she never saw it happen.

Kittens, Brisbane City

HTC-24

A dancer left a comment which stated that the club featured a revolving stage and a large communal lap-dance area that was monitored by a controller to ensure everyone followed the rules.

Showgirls, Brisbane City

HTC-25

A dancer left a comment which stated that Showgirls Brisbane had potential but also felt disorganized. She said the club enforced dress codes inconsistently between dancers and often booked too many girls for a shift, firing those who didn’t meet unclear sales quotas. She mentioned that dancers could take short breaks whenever they wanted, which she appreciated, and that there was no door fee unless you made a sale.

Showgirls, Brisbane City

HTC-26

A dancer left a comment which stated that Showgirls was a beautiful, centrally located club that had recently been renovated. She said the management was professional and supportive.

Showgirls, Brisbane City

HTC-27

A dancer left a comment which stated that she had heard the dancers at Showgirls could be quite harsh, describing them as some of the meanest out of all the clubs, although she noted that management changes might have improved things since then. She said every dancer she had met from Showgirls was an excellent pole dancer, making it a great club for those who love performing. She mentioned that earning potential was good overall but that the club held dancers’ money until the end of the night, which some didn’t like.

Showgirls, Brisbane City

HTC-28

A dancer left a comment which stated that Showgirls Brisbane employed more than 200 dancers with about 40 working per night. She said 10-minute dances started at $80 with a 60/40 split to dancers and door fees of $15–25 depending on start time. She described the club as busy but filled with low-spending clients and said management discouraged negotiating prices. While some dancers thrived, she personally found the environment stressful, unclean, and poorly maintained, mentioning blocked toilets, messy dressing areas, and cockroaches. She said shifts ran roughly 7 p.m.–2–5 a.m., fines applied for no-shows, and locker quality varied. Attire included matching lingerie with pleasers or themed outfits. She said the dancers themselves were friendly and supportive.

Showgirls, Brisbane City

HTC-29

A dancer left a comment which stated that Cabaret was her favorite club in Brisbane, describing management as hands-off but the hustle as unique. She said dancers performed on stage roughly every 40 minutes, but most of the money came from what they called the “sushi train,” where several girls walked around the floor offering one-minute lap dances priced between $10 and $50. She said it was usually more profitable to stay downstairs doing those than to go to VIP. Dancers were fined $10 for missing a stage set and another $10 for each of the six required drink cards they failed to fill through customer purchases. She explained that touching was allowed in Brisbane, but no mouth contact or touching between the legs was permitted. All dances were monitored by a controller, and grinding was strictly prohibited.

Cabaret Club, Fortitude Valley

HTC-30

A dancer left a detailed comment about Cabaret Club Brisbane, explaining that lap dance prices on the main floor were $5 for 30 seconds topless, $10 for 1 minute topless, $20 for 1 minute nude, and $50 for 3 minutes nude. She mentioned that management discouraged offering the $50 option since it’s only $25 less than an upstairs booking, but most dancers still did it. For the lap room, prices were around $75 for 10 minutes (dancer keeps $55), $110 for 20 minutes ($80), $150 for 30 minutes ($110), $220 for 45 minutes ($170), and $280 for 1 hour ($200). She described the house fee system, saying that when customers buy you certain drinks, you receive tickets that count toward your house fee, with each ticket worth $10. On quieter nights, dancers were sometimes paid in tickets instead of cash. Fridays and Saturdays used to require six tickets ($60 if you didn’t earn any), while weeknights were usually one to three tickets. Sundays were different, as that’s when dancers were given tickets for working. The attire policy was relaxed as long as outfits looked good. In terms of facilities, the club shared bathrooms with patrons, had a change room with a microwave and fridge, and a smoking area for dancers only. Lockers could be rented for around $20–$25. The hours and shift rules were listed as open Tuesday to Sunday, operating from 8 pm to 3 am on Sundays through Thursdays, and 8 pm to 5 am on Fridays and Saturdays. Dancers could start any time before 10 pm, but had to pay $20 for every stage set missed, meaning if you arrived by 10 pm you’d owe $60. Breaks could be taken at any time, as long as you returned before your next stage set, otherwise you’d be fined. Rosters had to be submitted by a set day (Sunday at the time she worked there), and there was a $50 fine for missing the roster deadline. She described the stage rotation as having three themed sets per hour (rock, techno, and R&B). Dancers had to stay on stage for the full first song and remain topless during their set while also staying on the main floor to hustle short dances. There was a $20 fine for leaving the stage or floor early, or a $10 fine if you left early because you were booked for a private dance upstairs. She mentioned that covering other dancers’ stage sets could earn extra money — she once made $60 just from covering sets in one night. Each dancer also had one main stage show per night where they had to stay on stage for the full duration. Missing that set resulted in a $50 fine, or you could pay $20 to have another dancer cover it if you had a booking upstairs. She noted that some of the controllers were male — all were friendly and respectful, but she acknowledged that might not suit everyone’s comfort level. She described the management team as consisting of two men and one woman, saying they were generally great to deal with — fair, professional, and firm when enforcing rules. Lastly, she said the club takes a $100 bond when you start, which is refunded when leaving as long as you give two weeks’ notice and have no outstanding fines or fees.

HTC-31

A dancer left a comment which stated the following about Eye Candy: Door Fee: Varied depending on whether it was a weekday or weekend. Minimum Shifts: Three per week. Cut Percentage: Somewhat complicated - dancers were required to sell a minimum number of drinks each night (purchased by customers). If they didn’t meet the target, the cost was deducted from their pay. She said the quota was generally easy to reach. Earning Potential: Very consistent and more reliable than Honey B’s or Love & Rockets. She said it wasn’t a “long booking” club but focused more on short, frequent bookings. Conversational skills weren’t especially important here. Customer Type: Mostly young men coming from Fortitude Valley, with a strong “party girl” energy. Management: Female-run and dancer-run. She described it as fair overall, though there could be some office politics. Dancer Culture: Competitive but straightforward and easy enough to handle.

A dancer left a comment which stated that the Gold Coast scene tended to favor a very artificial or “fake” look.

She said dancers were fined for many things, weighed regularly, and that the club placed heavy emphasis on stage performance and appearance.

A dancer left a comment which stated that Honey B's had an excellent location and was especially busy during sporting events, making it a great place to work on game nights.

Honey B's, Brisbane City

HTC-35

Ownership: Same company as Love & Rockets. Style & Dress Code: Classic lingerie-only club with a very strict uniform policy. She mentioned that dancers with a more alternative or “goth” look might not do as well here, and face piercings aren’t allowed. Atmosphere: Classy and visually polished overall. Door Fee: Around $30 per shift. Minimum Shifts: Usually 3 per week, increasing to 4 during game weeks. Cut Percentage: Between 30 % and 50 % depending on dance length. Earning Potential: Generally steady, especially during game season thanks to its location near the stadium and army barracks. She noted that regulars are easy to build but summer tends to be slow. Customer Type: Mix of sporty locals and wealthier businessmen. Both party-style dancers and conversational types can do well. Management: Described as good now, though once much stricter. They enforce minimum-shift rules and may fine dancers $100 or more if a shift is missed. Dancer Culture: Generally friendly but with some theft issues—lockers are a must. New dancers might be ignored at first, but respect and seniority matter a lot once you’ve been there a while.

A dancer left a comment which stated that The Vault was a good club with skilled dancers, but said people skills were the most important thing to succeed there. She mentioned that the club had many regulars since it was in a smaller town. She explained that table dances were done in the T-Bar before 9pm, with extra pay for stage dances, and that the main stage opened after 9pm. She said she loved the club’s layout and appreciated that security personally walked every dancer to their car, noting that it was a strict rule to never leave without security.

The Vault, Toowoomba

HTC-39

A dancer left a comment which stated that Toowoomba was great for making money because there were usually more customers than dancers. She said the town’s remote location meant not many girls travelled there to work.

The Vault, Toowoomba

HTC-40

A dancer left a comment which stated that The Vault Toowoomba traded 6 pm–3 am Wednesday–Saturday (with license to 5 am) and accepted travelling dancers. She said table and stage dances (6–9 pm) paid 100 % to dancers – $25 topless table, $35 topless stage, $75 nude. Lap dances (6 pm–5 am) paid 60 % with rates of $85 (5 min), $145 (10 min), $200 (15 min), $320 (30 min), and $545 (1 hr). Private/fantasy rooms offered shower, bondage, games, and champagne themes at $430 (30 min) and $730 (1 hr) with a 50 % split. No cut was taken from tips. Attire included lingerie or bikinis with 6-inch heels and occasional costume nights. She described well-equipped change rooms with appliances, mirrors, and supplies. All dancers performed four-song stage sets, going topless on song two and bottomless only for a $50 tip. The stage had two static poles and one spinning pole with tipping chairs around. She said an ABN and invoice were required for payment and that dancers could be paid cash next day or via weekly transfer.

A dancer left a comment which stated that Toybox was popular among dancers because the club didn’t take a commission from dances. She mentioned that it was located slightly outside the main nightlife area and usually operated four nights a week, though this could vary. She said she hadn’t worked there herself but had visited as a customer and heard from dancers that they made good money.

She said dancers generally kept most of what they earned and that the club reportedly didn’t take commission, though she couldn’t confirm it. She added that its quieter location and strict house rules could be drawbacks for some.

Toybox, Gold Coast

HTC-45

A dancer left a comment which stated that Toybox charged a door fee of around $50–$100, usually taken from the first dance of the night. After that, dancers kept the rest of their earnings. She said they could also earn extra by selling “fake drinks” at the bar, keeping the full amount paid by customers—usually around $10–$12 per drink.

Club Vixen, Brisbane City

HTC-50

Atmosphere & Style: Known for being quite different from most clubs. It features fetish shows and competitions and even has a sex shop located directly above it. She described it as a very unusual venue overall. Breaks: It was the only club she’d worked at that actually gave dancers a break time — and they were allowed to leave the building during it, which she thought was great. Dress Code & Appearance: Many dancers had an alternative look. The dress code was very relaxed, and shaving wasn’t required. Support: The club showed dancers how to claim taxes properly, which she appreciated. Door Fee: None. Cut Percentage: The club’s cut was fairly high, but dance prices were higher too, so it usually balanced out. Minimum Shifts: Three per week. Earning Potential: Generally low on average, though some nights could be extremely profitable — she mentioned earning around $6,000 on a good night. She said it was a complex club where most dancers didn’t last long, as it required a very specific fit. The club also had a 24-hour license, so if a dancer built a strong regular base, the income potential was huge. Customer Type: Mostly fetish clients and late-night businessmen. Strong conversational skills were essential to succeed. Management: Management had recently changed, so she couldn’t comment on the current team. However, she mentioned that when she worked there, there were rumors of sexual misconduct by the owner and grooming issues within management. She advised being cautious and maintaining clear boundaries. Dancer Culture: At the time she worked there, the roster was mostly newer dancers who were very affectionate and sensitive — she described them as overly friendly — though she had heard the club’s atmosphere had since changed.

ADMIN: Honestly I hated this club, but please bear in mind my experience was in Sept 2020 (covid) so may not be relevant today. The club was absolutely empty every night - I often didn’t know if I would make my parking fee back. I found the management to be quite rude (the type that treats you like a group of children instead of grown women). However, I know they have changed management several times since then. Hopefully they have improved.

A dancer left a comment which stated that Players Club on the Gold Coast kept a significant portion of dancer earnings, including 50% of tips, a door fee, and 40% of dance income - meaning she would receive about $150 from a one-hour dance while the club kept around $100. She said pay was held until the end of the next shift, breaks were limited to one 15-minute slot during a seven-hour shift, and dancers needed permission to use the toilet. She also mentioned that refusing a dance wasn’t allowed and that she was threatened with losing her job for declining one. According to her, dancers who didn’t give two weeks’ notice risked having their pay withheld.

A dancer left a comment which stated that the Covergirls was a relaxed North Queensland venue with low dress standards for customers, average earnings, and only standard lap dances available.

HTC-54

She said fantasy rooms cost $380 for 30 minutes with $150 to the dancer, and the lap room was spacious. Dancers wore three-piece outfits with stockings and fully styled hair. The change room was small but well equipped. She described management as lovely and fees as reasonable, noting that fines were rare and mainly for balcony rules. Stage work involved three sets of three songs, with two stages (one large, one small) and poles on the bar. Dancers kept all stage tips. She said it was a good-earning, traveller-friendly club and among Queensland’s nicest venues.

A dancer left a comment which stated that Club Royale on the Sunshine Coast traded Fridays and Saturdays from 8 pm to 3 am and welcomed travelling dancers. She said the club took a 50/50 split on dances after deducting 10 % GST —for example, in a $200 thirty-minute dance, the dancer keeps $90. Prices were $150 for 20 minutes, $200 for half an hour, and $400 for an hour. All floor tips were kept by dancers, with Fridays being the best tipping nights. The house fee was $20 (not charged on trial nights), and late fees applied mainly to resident staff. Dancers wore lingerie or bikinis with covered bottoms and were required to wear garters and six-inch heels. She described the club as spacious with an upstairs lap room and a stage featuring two spinning poles and one static, though one was temporary and slippery. Tips were placed on the stage or into a garter, and after sufficient tips dancers performed topless (no bottoms off or touching). The stage surface was rough. She said the club handled customer payments and paid cash either the same night (for travellers) or the following week / Monday transfer.

Club Royale, Sunshine Coast

HTC-61

A dancer left a comment which stated that Club Royale on the Sunshine Coast traded Fridays and Saturdays from 8 pm to 3 am and accepted travelling dancers. She said dancers kept 40 % of lap-dance fees, with prices around $30 for 5 minutes (topless only and kept in full), $90 for 10 minutes, $120 for 15 minutes, $165 for 20 minutes, $200 for 30 minutes, and approximately $300 for an hour. No cuts were taken from tips. There was a $20 door fee from the second shift onward and late fees applied. Attire included lingerie, bikinis or stripper wear with six-inch heels and a leg garter. The stage had one spinning pole, two static poles (one thick, one thin) and a lyra. Customers could only tip onto the stage or into a garter. After sufficient tips dancers went topless but were not permitted to remove bottoms or touch patrons. She warned that the stage surface was rough and not ideal for sliding floor work. The club processed dance payments and paid cash the following week or via Monday bank transfer. She said the dressing room included a sink, toilet, shower, mirrors, lockers, and chairs.

Dress code was relaxed -lingerie, skirts, stripper wear, or bikinis - with heels required. She said dancers must work at least three shifts weekly and could be fined $30–70 for lateness or no-shows. Operating hours were 8pm to 3am.

A dancer left a comment which stated that K Klub Brisbane felt more like a nightclub than a gentlemen’s club, with music so loud that conversation and hustling were difficult. She was rostered on stage every hour throughout the night, which was tiring and produced few tips because stage tipping was rare. She said new dancers could swap sets only by paying others.

Accommodation is supplied at a cost of $300 per week, which is charged regardless of whether it’s used, functioning as the weekly club fee. Most dancers are also required to complete one topless waitressing shift per week from 4pm–7pm for $100. She said dancers keep 100% of lap dance earnings, except for a 30% club cut on bookings that run past 3am (the venue is licensed until 5am). Dance prices start at $50 for 5 minutes and go up to $300 for an hour, and customers pay cash directly to dancers. No cuts are taken from tips. She explained that attire includes lingerie, stripper wear, or bikinis, with bums covered off-stage and skirts or dresses allowed if coordinated. Stage performances include three songs per set, requiring dancers to be topless before the end and fully nude once tipped $50 or more. The club has one spinning pole on a partly carpeted stage, and tipping is optional. She described the change room as well-equipped with mirrors, fridge, microwave, lockers, and seating.

A dancer left a comment which stated that Sefton Playhouse in Sydney was different from most city clubs and was frequently hiring new dancers.

HTC-70

A dancer left a comment which stated that Sefton Playhouse uses a token system for lap dances, starting at $120 for the first 8 minutes, then $50 from the second customer and $20 for each after that. She warned that management instructs dancers to allow above-the-waist touching, which she described as inappropriate and potentially illegal, and said dancers are also required to get fully nude during private shows. The house fee is a $50 cancellation charge if you can’t find cover for your shift. She said the dress code is relaxed, though dancers are asked not to wear the same outfit twice in one week and to have two outfits per shift. The club is large and modern, but the dressing room is small with limited lockers. She explained that dancers must work one weekday shift if scheduled for a Friday or Saturday, with four-hour shifts for new dancers. Stage sets last 15 minutes every hour, rotating through three pole sections, with timing assigned by the DJ.

A dancer left a comment which stated that Velvet Underground in the Melbourne CBD was a clean and intimate club. She said VIP dances started at $132 for 15 minutes (dancer keeps $60) and $176 for 20 minutes (dancer keeps $80). The club uses tipping dollars where dancers keep 80% of regular tips and 60% of VIP tips. There is no ATM and no electronic payments (including BeemIt). The venue has one stage with no formal roster — dancers simply rotate. To work other days, dancers must work either Tuesday, Saturday, or Sunday. Day shifts are available with no house fee. A $200 fine applies for cancelling a shift without reason. Dress code is lingerie only, not standard dancewear. She said several dancers she knew liked the club but she personally didn’t attend her first shift due to the pay cuts, although management seemed friendly.

Minx Gentlemen’s Club, Sydney CBD

HTC-75

A dancer left a comment which stated that Minx Sydney paid dancers only 40-50 % depending on payment type - 50 % for cash and 40 % for EFTPOS - and had no ATM. She said the stage was poor with a non-spinning pole and inattentive customers. Touching was tolerated under a “tip-for-touch” system despite being illegal; management offered little protection if problems occurred. Dancers had to store money in lockers, retrieved at closing. The dress code required black on weekdays and other colours on weekends. The club charged a $1 shift fee, closed around 1:30 am, and was located down concrete stairs with the change room upstairs. She described management as unsupportive and said she didn’t enjoy working there.

A dancer left a comment which stated that Bon Bon Sydney had no house fee but charged $150 for cancellations without a medical certificate. She said 15-minute private dances paid $60 from a $132 customer fee, and 30-minute dances paid $120 from $264. Two-customer dances paid $90 for 15 minutes and $180 for 30 minutes. Dancers kept 80 % of stage tips; there was one stage and customers bought tipping dollars to sit there. She described the club as intimate, clean, and well kept, with a small changing room containing lockers, a fridge, and a shower. There was no roster—dancers rotated freely. Rules required one foot on the floor, no straddling or grinding, and waiting until customers received drinks. Some tipping-for-touch occurred under camera supervision. She noted no accommodation and a three-piece lingerie dress code (garters or stockings counted as the third piece). Boots were allowed only on stage with approval; “gun” heels were banned. Shifts ran Tuesday–Saturday with various start times (weekday 5–11 pm, 5–2 am, 7–2 am; Saturday 7:30–2 am).

She later worked at Harem Sydney, which she said had a less appealing venue but better foot traffic and diversity. She noted that Harem attracted some cheap customers and bachelor parties, whereas Bon Bon was stricter about non-spending patrons. Her best night at Harem was $1500.

A dancer left a comment which stated that Petersham Inn in Sydney was the most profitable club she had worked at, offering a low 70/30 commission split. She said there were several options for VIP rooms, private shows, and extra opportunities for topless or lingerie waitressing during the day. She stated the club was only open Thursday-Saturday but that the earnings were good. She also suggested doing private parties between club shifts.

HTC-81

A dancer left a comment which stated that Petersham Inn is a regulars-based club that operates Thursday through weekends, usually from midday until midnight. She said the shift fee is $40 for later starts and that the venue attracts many patrons from the adjoining sports bar, which can make longer dances harder to sell. She described the stage as large with two tall poles, though three girls perform at once and full nudity is required. Dancers keep 60% of tips, splitting them evenly between the three on stage, and tipping dollars are only in $2 denominations, which can make it look like more than it is. She said the team and management were friendly, though the change room was cluttered and had loud music to keep dancers on the floor. She added that the club offers cheap drinks for dancers ($2) and has a relaxed dress code, often just small costume accessories. She said it’s not ideal for dancers who prefer gentleman’s club environments, but still enjoyable for those who like pole dancing and a casual vibe.

A dancer left a comment which stated that Petersham Inn has a friendly environment and is a good club for new dancers. She said the club has many regular customers, meaning dancers can make steady money even on quieter nights, though earnings are lower than city clubs. She described the income as consistent and said she personally has great nights when working hard. The club operates Thursday to Saturday, from 7pm–1:30am, and she said her only criticism was wishing it stayed open later. She mentioned that tipping is limited, but that’s common across Sydney, and the stage setup features 2–3 girls at a time, ideal for pole dancers. She also said management allows dancers to opt out of stage work if they prefer.

She mentioned that the change room was small but functional, the club operated 9 pm–3 am, and the dancers were friendly once you got to know them.

A dancer left a comment which stated that Elements Sydney had the same owners as Showgirls across the road, had opened in January, and looked much nicer inside (no pests or damage). She said there was no house fee, but the club took 40% of dances after GST, with no tipping dollars. She listed two no-contact show options: Standard (15 min $165, 30 min $220, 1 hr $440) and Gold (15 min $220, 30 min $330, 1 hr $550). She advised that it was worth a visit if you kept to yourself and avoided being alone with the owner.

A dancer left a comment which stated that Elements Sydney no longer offers no-contact dances and listed lap dance prices as $110 (5 min, open room), $220 (15 min), $330 (30 min), and $550 (1 hr). She said there was no house fee, the club took 40% after GST, and dancers kept all tips (no tipping dollars; customers can swap for $5 notes at the bar). She reported strong stage tipping (about $110 per stage on average), with $20 tips = topless and $50 tips = fully nude on stage. She warned to avoid being alone with the two male owners/managers despite offers (even with money), praised the female managers as kind and easy-going, called the club super clean and brand new, noted no more free/discounted drinks for dancers, said they were relaxed about lateness/cancellations, and that they offer free pole classes Wednesdays at 5 pm.

A dancer left a comment which stated that stage tipping at Elements Sydney was the best she had experienced (better than Harem), saying one strong customer could make the night, her best weekend was around $5k, managers actively upsold customers, and that results were hit-or-miss but two nights a week helped build regulars.

A dancer left a comment which stated that Harem in Kings Cross (Sydney) caters to a younger, urban-style clientele and has a party-like atmosphere. She said stage performances are often ignored, with two short spin poles close to the wall, and dancers typically remove their bra for a $50 tip, which she noted is uncommon. She explained that lap dances pay 60% to dancers, with cash payments on the night and EFTPOS payments weekly, estimating $100 for 15 minutes, $200 for cash half-hour, and $225 for EFTPOS half-hour. There are no tipping notes, and dancers keep 100% of tips, though tipping isn’t common. The club opens around 8pm and can stay open past 4am, with flexible start times. She mentioned receiving a $200 fine for allowing a customer to take drugs, and described the venue as large but underused, with many empty rooms. It is a strictly no-touch club, especially for travelling dancers, and violations could lead to termination. The VIP rooms have windows for staff visibility, and there is a large changing area with a shower. She said there is no dress code, and stage spots last 15 minutes with a DJ controlling the music. She described the club as not ideal for beginners, saying confident, high-energy dancers tend to succeed, while quieter or natural-style dancers may struggle.

Harem, Kings Cross

A dancer left a comment which stated that Harem heavily favours permanent dancers and management’s inner circle. She said that when large groups or bookings come in, the manager often assigns them to friends, limiting other dancers’ earning potential. She also claimed that rules are inconsistently enforced, with some dancers facing stricter treatment than others.

Centrefolds, Melbourne

HTC-96

A dancer left a comment which stated that Centrefolds Melbourne charged $100 house fees Sunday–Thursday and $150 Friday–Saturday. Lap dances began at $20 for one song or $50 for 10 minutes, with no touching of breasts, buttocks, or genitals. The only VIP option was one hour for $400, from which dancers kept $350. Missing a stage set incurred a $50 fine, no-shows $200, and leaving early $50 per missed podium. If tipped $20 or more on stage, dancers had to perform a nude table dance for that customer. Dress code required matching lingerie sets and stripper heels only. She said the club offered vending machines with food and beauty products, free pizza Sundays, and fruit platters daily. Shifts started 8–10 pm on weekdays or 7–11 pm on weekends, ending as late as 6 am. She described the house mums as lovely and management as fair.

A dancer left a comment which stated that she worked at Kittens in 2017 and hated it. She said that Kittens was small, didn’t really cater to showgirls, had multiple small stages with no pole, crowded lap-dance rooms, and allowed smoking, which she found off-putting.

Kittens, Melbourne

HTC-101

A dancer left a comment which stated that Kittens felt like a dive but could be fun, wasn’t ideal for showgirls due to small podiums and crowded lineups, offered single dances only with no VIP, and often packed in many dancers (allegedly over 100) for a hustle-heavy night with mixed clientele.

A dancer left a comment which stated that Kittens Melbourne charged house fees from $15–70 depending on day and start time, operated 7 pm–3 am nightly, and paid dancers a flat $50 for 10-minute dances. VIP bookings cost $300 for 30 minutes and $600 for an hour, split evenly with the club. She said some customers expected touching or mouth contact since it was allowed at dancer discretion, though management enforced boundaries and security was attentive in the lap room. The dress code was extremely relaxed, even allowing sneakers. She described management and security as fair and professional.

A dancer left a comment which stated that the club had customers, but the music was so loud that she couldn’t talk to anyone. She said she personally didn’t like how the boundaries between customers and dancers felt there. She added that extras were openly expected by many customers, and that the public lap dance areas often reflected that expectation. She said she had seen intimate contact happening in the upstairs lap dance section near the heart bath stage, and felt that dancers whose personal boundaries didn’t align with this should be aware of what the environment was like.

A dancer left a comment which stated that at this venue, she often saw customer interactions that involved kissing, and she said many customers came in expecting that kind of contact. She explained that this could feel confronting for new dancers who were not comfortable with that level of physical interaction. She said that the dancers who were willing to offer more intimate services usually earned the most money there. She also felt that the club tended to hire dancers with a very youthful look, and that anyone who didn’t fit that aesthetic might not be hired.
