Looking for a lap dancing club in Perth?
Western Australia isn’t particularly known for its strip clubs. You won’t be finding a large Spearmint Rhino or Showgirls around here. Unlike some of the more cosmopolitan Aussie cities, there are only a handful of gentlemen’s clubs in Perth. In fact, just two major clubs (Doll House is now closed)… and a smattering of smaller venues.
Our Perth strip club guide highlights the late-night bastions: Penthouse and Voodoo, as well as some ‘grittier’ options that you might not have considered (for back-room fun). If you’re looking to organise a bucks party or group event, it will be one of the two big names that you’ll want to choose from.
Popular Strip Clubs and Topless Bars In Perth
Probably the most famous strip bar in Perth was Doll House over on Charles St. It used to be absolutely rammed with buck parties on the weekend.
Sadly, it closed its doors in 2024.
We’re not sure why; there are several rumours… including sewer backup issues if you believe Reddit!
So what’s left of the strip scene in Perth today? Well, we’ve got the two big names below:
Penthouse Club
230 William St, Perth WA 6000
https://penthouseclubperth.com
Penthouse Club is Perth’s most polished strip venue… the city’s only true “gentlemen’s club” in the luxury sense. Opened under the Penthouse Magazine brand, it quickly made a name for itself by flying in Penthouse Pets and high-profile dancers, giving Perth a taste of international glamour.
It’s based over on William Street, which formerly housed Xotica Club. And just like Xotica, Penthouse provides both in-house entertainment and a ‘strippers for hire‘ service.
Yes, you can have their girls sent to host your upcoming event or bucks party.
The venue itself is a premium-quality strip club and attracts some of the finest local and international dancers. There are two bars and the non-stop action takes place over three floors of this modern club.
As well as the general areas, you can splash out to stay in one of the private Champagne Suites and get some VIP treatment or even book the Sky Box. Situated on the mezzanine level and with a bird’s eye view of the stage, the Sky Box is the ultimate way to get seclusion.
Penthouse holds regular themed events and often showcases guest ‘star’ strippers from its other clubs. Entry ranges from $10 on quiet weeknights to around $20 on weekends. Last we checked, private dances start at $50 per song, or around $100 for 10-15 minutes.
Penthouse isn’t cheap. Between tipping notes (sold as “Penthouse Dollars”) and lap dances, the night can add up fast.
The Voodoo Lounge
174 James Street, Northbridge WA 6003
https://thevoodoolounge.com.au
The Voodoo Lounge is an extravagantly kitted out strip club on James Street in Northbridge. It is a lap dance bar slash cabaret lounge where you will find a host of stunning dancers parading around the intimate stage in little or no attire.
The Voodoo dancers are well known beyond Perth having scooped the Best Gentleman’s Club award at plenty of the Australian Adult Industry Awards.
Entry to the club is $20 with lap dances starting at $50 for 3 songs. It’s open to men, women and couples and will likely leave you gagging for more. Note that a few of the dancers – particularly those who have won awards or agreed to a fetish interest — may charge more than the standard Voodoo rate (upwards of $100 for the premium ‘talent’).
Voodoo gets extremely busy with Hen and Buck parties over the weekend, as well as proving a popular spot for gentlemen celebrating birthdays (of all ages over 21!). They have a number of packages available for group bookings which are worth checking out for a nice discount.
Peep Shows and Private Strips
If you’re curious beyond the main two, Perth has a couple of grittier peepshow-style venues that are more adult shops than strip clubs… but they do offer private dances:
Taboo Burswood
Shop 4/285 Great Eastern Hwy, Burswood WA 6100
This is a famous old family-run adult shop with peep shows, private dances, and some kinky backroom action. Open daytime hours, unlike the clubs.
Taboo publishes a weekly roster for its private strip shows. You can find it here.
At the time of writing, most days are staffed by just a single girl working 10am to 7pm. On some days, the action is broken into shifts (10am to 2:30pm, then 2:30pm to 7pm).
The private strip shows are held in the same room as the girl, but there is no contact. Allegedly!
Current pricing: $20 for 5 minutes, $40 for 10 minutes, $60 for 15 minutes, $80 for 20 minutes or $100 for 25 minutes. They also have peep shows available ($2 a pop).
Whisper Shop
95 James St, Northbridge WA 6003, Australia
https://www.whispershop.com.au
Whispers on James Street has another old-school peepshow with coin-operated booths and private striptease sessions. Budget-friendly, but a little bit seedy.
You certainly won’t be rocking up here with your bucks crew!
We don’t have much intel on what the shows are actually like, but you can follow their private Insta account where they post occasional updates and teasers.
Summing Up The Perth Scene
Well, it goes without saying…
Western Australia’s strip clubs are much smaller than those in Sydney or Melbourne. There’s not as much choice, and the Doll House closure is a big L.
Currently the scene is based around Northbridge, where both Penthouse and Voodoo are within walking distance of the main pubs and bars.
Clubs in Perth are strictly no-touch… lap dances are nude but hands stay at your sides. Cameras are banned, and smart casual dress is expected (no singlets or work boots).
Given the lack of competition, most groups book Penthouse or Voodoo packages. Both venues offer private areas and tailored deals for parties. Call the venues if you have something specific in mind.
