With currently three venues offering strip shows, the number of striptease clubs in Glasgow is very modest, especially taking into account the vibrant local nightlife. And it's not likely that there will be any new kids on the block soon. With the city council of Edinburgh voting in 2022 to ban nude striptease shows and effectively force the four lap dance venues to close, although this decision was overturned in court, Glasgow’s local authorities took a different approach. They decided to leave the current strip clubs open, but the current local administrators will not grant licenses to any new establishments.
Striptease clubs in Glasgow remind me of the US. I mean the attitude towards such places. No one thinks they’re in a brothel. People take a seat at a wide wooden bar, have a few drinks and chat. The strippers are a nice addition, but it’s more of a symbiotic relationship than a main event. Classy places.
Many strip clubs in Glasgow are similar to those in the US and offer honest and straightforward erotic entertainment
I would say that strip clubs in Glasgow are a refuge for men in their 30s, who can’t deal with kids in normal clubs. Diamond Dolls (https://www.diamonddolls.co.uk/), a well-known chain has a club in Glasgow on 39 Mitchell St. Platinum Lace (https://www.platinumlace.co.uk/) at 24 Drury St is one I really like: a true upscale, no-bullshit striptease club.
