Auckland’s strip clubs are clustered in the central city area, particularly around the downtown district. Many of these nudie bars are situated near key landmarks like Victoria Park, Aotea Square, and close to the Viaduct Harbour area. Once it kicks off, the action extends deep into the night. đ
With its liberal attitude towards sex and erotica, it should come as no surprise that Auckland is home to some of the very best strip clubs in New Zealand. Notable venues include Calendar Girls, Showgirls, Hush Hush and The White House.
These nude bars host everything from wild bucks nights, to corporate parties, to birthday weekends, to a few drinks after work with eye candy in every direction.
Auckland’s Best Strip Clubs and Nude Bars
Being the largest city in NZ, Auckland has a well-developed strip club scene, mostly situated in the central business district (CBD). The clubs cater to a wide range of clientele, from local revellers and tourists, to business executives blowing off steam (and putting a serious dent in their wallets).
Since sex work was legalised in 2003, some of these strip bars have struck up partnerships with local brothels. It’s not uncommon to find bordellos located in the same building complex. “Downstairs to tease, upstairs to please…” as many exotic dancers will say to severely-edged punters. đÂ
Always check the dress code requirements of a strip club before visiting. Many will have strict door policies; our best advice is, dress to impress. Prices below are correct at the time of publication, but please check each venue’s respective websites for the most up-to-date deals.
Calendar Girls
243 Karangahape Road, Auckland CBD, Auckland 1011
Phone: 0800 247 691
https://calendargirls.co.nz
Calendar Girls is an innovative multi-levelled adult playground. It is set over four storeys on Karangahape Road and features some of the most stunning strippers you can find in New Zealand. From Penthouse Pets to porn stars, they have a great in-house team as well as guest dancers.
Upstairs you have the actual gentlemen’s club, which is a lavishly decorated den filled by a parade of stunning local and International dancers. This area is exclusive and shut off from most of the punters. Downstairs is more of a friendly casual vibe with a fully stocked sports bar, big screen, gambling machines and a few podiums.
Each Thursday to Saturday you will find the podiums taken over by lingerie-clad dancers, ushering you deeper in to what they say is Auckland’s ultimate 5-star strip club experience.
Then again, on their website they also say that “if pleasurable surroundings are more important to you than price, this is the venue for you.”
Now, why would they say something like that without including a price list?
We’re going to guess that it’s pretty bloody expensive upstairs — where the creme de la creme of the Calendar Girls can be found strutting their stuff wearing something pretty close to nothing. You can also hire these girls for private events (e.g. lingerie hostesses), as well as party outcalls and buck party packages.
Entry costs $30.
- Open Tuesday to Sunday, 7:00pm to 5:00am
- Closed on Mondays
Hush Hush Girls
68 Hobson St, Auckland, 1010
Phone: 09 307 5975
https://hushauckland.co.nz
Hush Hush is a highly-rated gentlemanâs club tucked away off the main drag, close to the Sky City Casino.
One of Aucklandâs best kept secrets, this strip bar opened in 2010 but has kept a fairly low profile ever since. You won’t have to fight as many queues to get in, and once you’re inside, the atmosphere is less overwhelming for a first-timer.
Or for the groom awaiting his fate. đ
Hush is a fun and friendly bar with reasonably priced drinks and plenty of adult entertainment to keep the party humming, including lap dances, pole dancing and private dances. They can cater for corporate events, VIP parties and, of course, bucks parties are well covered too. Upstairs there is a special hosting area called The Boardroom, capable of holding groups of 25-75.
In the main club area you’ll find a decent line-up of girls; attractive, yes, but crucially, most have a good sense of humour, too. Game for a laugh. Hush Hush dancers are pretty good at avoiding the stuck-up clichĂ© of hounding for tips, or invading your lap within 2 seconds of entering the building.
They get some great reviews for their performances, but it’s the overall vibe that wins out. The girls are often described as “more approachable” than your typical strippers. Why is that? Well, we’ve seen various reports that the girls genuinely enjoy working here (unlike some of the other venues on this list), which makes all the difference, right?
Happy girls, happy dancers.
- Open Thursday to Saturday, 8:00pm to 4:00am
The Mermaid Club
13 Gore Street, Auckland CBD, Auckland 1010
Phone: 09 366 6233
https://themermaid.co.nz/
This Gore Street strip bar seems to change its name everytime we update this list!
First it was known as The Galaxy Club (now the name of the brothel upstairs), then it became The Penthouse Club. It’s now known officially as The Mermaid Club (or by the locals, just “Mermaids“).
The venue features a state-of-the art sound and lighting system, luxurious décor and some of the top performers in Auckland. They have a stable of in-house dancers but also attract ladies from international clubs including Penthouse Pets and porn stars such as Kiki Vidis.
Events are many and varied and can be anything from burlesque magic striptease to seasonally themed parties for Christmas and Halloween.
While the girls are friendly, welcoming and fully nude (đ„), we’ve seen far too many reports of the bouncers/security being total assholes at this venue. From turning away punters for no good reason, to being unnecessarily aggressive at the door. “On a total power trip” in the words of one recent customer.
Entry costs $25.
- Open daily
- Monday, Tuesday: 7:00pm to 3:00am
- Wednesday, Thursday: 7:00pm to 4:00am
- Friday: 7:00pm to 5:00am
- Saturday, Sunday: 7:00pm to 6:00am
Showgirls
55 Customs Street East, Auckland 1010
Phone: 09 358 0245
https://www.showgirls.co.nz/
Showgirls is a glamorous strip bar with a dazzling interior and a large roster of exotic dancers plucked from all over the world, including a good selection of local hotties. It’s generally the first name that comes to mind when you ask an Auckland resident to name a local strip club.
Does that mean it’s the best?
Depends who you ask. It’s certainly the glitziest.
Showgirls has a number of executive VIP booths, as well as a ‘Shower Suite’ ($590 for 60 minutes) and a Champagne Room for private events. As you’d expect, there are a number of packages for the many Stag parties that flock here. It can get insanely busy on the weekend.
Private dances are available, starting at $110 for 10 minutes, $165 for 20 minutes, all the way up to $375 for a whole hour of bumping n’ grinding.
Entry costs $20.
- Open daily
- Monday to Thursday: 12:00pm to 12:00am
- Friday, Saturday: 12:00pm to 4:00am
- Sunday: 7:00pm to 12:00am
The White House
 371 Queen Street, Auckland CBD, Auckland 1010
Phone: 09 377 4545
https://www.whitehouse.co.nz
The famous White House Adult Entertainment Centre opened in 2001 and is an iconic venue for Auckland’s adult industry, and one that is definitely worth a visit.
Once inside you will find a large LCD screen pitched behind a stage where the White House showgirls will strut their stuff for your viewing pleasure. This is a great draw for sports fans as the huge screen is perfect for watching big games.
White House offers some unique and rather novel adult services, including… nude pool. Your chance to play one-on-one with a lady of your choice.
The main stage is regularly taken over by choreographed shows putting in to use a huge array of fancy dress and dazzling dance moves. If you’d rather enjoy a more intimate show, there are lap dances available from 10 minutes to a full hour of as much gyration as you can handle.
Itâs a classy venue for a bucks party and they can do you a good deal on group packages if you call to discuss your budget. This address is also home to Monica’s Massage, a self-contained sex club where full service is available.
Entry costs $20.
- Tuesday: 8:00pm to 12:00am
- Wednesday, Thursday: 8:00pm to 4:00am
- Friday, Saturday: 8:00pm to 6:00am
- Sunday: 8:00pm to 4:00am
- Closed on Mondays
Femme Fatale
84 Wellesley Street West, Auckland CBD, Auckland 1010
Phone: 09 303 2422
https://femmefatale.co.nz
It’s fair to say most punters who visit Femme Fatale are looking for more than eye candy. The venue doubles up as a popular brothel — most of the ladies who work there are just as adept at providing full service as they are at working the poles.
Femme has just opened a brand new floor containing a VIP bar (complete with exotic dancers), some special fantasy fun rooms, a selection of restored â50s classics (!), and a ânew visual experienceâ. Itâs looking very luxurious these days.
Not your typical Auckland strip club experience, but a good option if you’re looking to take that Bucks Party to the point of no return. đł
- Open 24/7
For The Ladies: Club Men of Steel
339 Karangahape Road, Auckland CBD, Auckland 1010
Strip shows aren’t just for pervy old codgers and nervous-looking stags. Men of Steel has been running New Zealand’s most famous all-male revue since 1999.
Their shows are regularly sold out, a staple of the local Hen do circuit (and divorce parties!).
Check their website for upcoming events and a chance to watch some of Auckland’s finest male strippers in action. Tickets starts at $45.
- Every Saturday, 7:00pm to Midnight

What’s Your Favourite Strip Club in Auckland?
We’ve spent a lot of time researching the major strip bars in Auckland and one thing we’ve noticed: there’s no real consensus on which is the best venue.
Some punters gravitate towards the quieter seedy bars, others love the all-action extravagance of venues like Showgirls. Something as simple as a crap lap dance from a sozzled performer can make or break the experience (especially with the amount of cash changing hands).
So, tell us… what’s your favourite strip club in Auckland? Have you had any good or bad experiences at the venues above?
Maybe we’ve missed a hole-in-the-wall lap dance bar that is worth a night out with your mates?
