First Visit To An Exotic Club? Here’s What To Expect

Welcome to The Granville Strip!

You’re in for a treat! Visiting an exotic club for the first time is an occasion you won’t soon forget. Whether you’re coming with friends or flying solo, it’s helpful to know what to expect and how to make the most of your visit. So here’s a little guide on what to anticipate and some key dos and don’ts for proper etiquette.


The Atmosphere: What You’ll Find


From the moment you step into The Granville Strip, you’ll notice the vibe is more upbeat than what you might have expected. People come here to have fun, relax, and enjoy live performances by talented dancers. It’s a regular club.. Just with stunning dancers! You’ll find the lighting is often dim and sets the mood for what’s on stage.


Not Sure? Just Ask, Honestly

The staff are SUPER friendly and helpful. They’re totally used to people experiencing an exotic club for the first time and do a great job of making everyone feel comfortable. If you’re not sure, just ask, they’re really amazing.

There’s a range of seating options, whether you want to be up close to the stage, have a reserved booth, or prefer a quieter spot to enjoy the show from a distance. Either way, our goal is to make sure everyone feels welcome. Right up front by the stage is called the ‘Tip Zone’, where it’s customary to show your appreciation by tipping the dancers for their performances. You can also walk up to tip the dancers if you’re sitting further back.

This rule also goes for if you’re unsure of pricing for extra experiences. VIP dances, the Shower Room and Booths all cost extra, so if you’re not sure what costs are involved, just ask!

What Happens During a Performance?

Dancers at The Granville Strip are highly skilled performers who combine athleticism, choreography, and artistry to create captivating routines. Expect to be entertained! Whether it’s your first time or you’re a regular, the experience is all about appreciating the performers’ creativity and skill.

As the performance begins, sit back and enjoy the show. You’ll see a mix of styles, from sensual routines to dynamic pole dancing. While the experience is meant to be fun, it’s important to be mindful of your behavior to make sure everyone enjoys their time at the club.

Exotic Club Etiquette: Dos and Dont’s

For first-timers, understanding the basic etiquette in an exotic club is key to having a smooth, enjoyable visit. Here’s a breakdown of what to do—and what not to do:

DO: Be Respectful

Respect is the cornerstone of any good night out at an exotic club. The dancers are professionals, and their job is to entertain. Treat them with the same respect you would expect in any other setting. This means no inappropriate comments or gestures, and definitely NO TOUCHING.

DON’T: Take Photos or Videos

At The Granville Strip, we value the privacy and comfort of our dancers and patrons. Taking photos or videos inside the club is a big no-no. Leave your phone in your pocket and stay focused on enjoying the live experience.

DO: Tip the Dancers

Tipping is an essential part of the exotic club experience. Dancers work hard to put on a show, and tipping is a great way to show your appreciation. You can tip during the stage performance or during a private dance. If you’re unsure how tipping works, our staff will be happy to help.

DO: Tip Your Waitstaff

Beyond tipping the dancers, don’t forget to show love to the bartenders and servers. They work hard to keep the drinks flowing and your table stocked, so a little extra appreciation goes a long way.
