1. Do your research: Before visiting a strip club, it is important to do some research to ensure that it is a reputable and safe venue. Check online reviews and ask locals for recommendations. The best way to avoid embarrassing or shocking situations is to book with a bona fide leisure company that specialises in Stag & Hen Dos. You will pay a stag do company a similar money that you’d pay for the entry to the strip club directly, but not only will they book you entry to the strip club, but also reserve places and provide a local Rep to look after your group. If you get more for the same or similar amount of money (as this depends on the stag do company you decide to use) then why not take a better service ?
2. Never leave anybody behind, especially if a group member wants to stay in the strip club and the rest want to move on and he is already well-oiled. Most of the lads who are already intoxicated will be easy prey to criminal scams, and some infamous chain of Krakow strip clubs have been known to drug their clients with ecstasy or rape pills) and then clean out their credit/debit card accounts or limits. Many cases of fraud charges have been reported to the authorities , but the problem is that these clubs state that the clients paid voluntarily, so it’s a “word against word” situation, as transaction receipts are usually pinned to the clients clothing to substantiate the fact that person willingly gave the required PIN to complete the payment.
3. If you google internet forums you might read many negative opinions, especially, under: 1 Polish strip club chains, the name, ironically, reminds us of the famous Beach Boys song. The company behind the infamous brand is now finally under investigation with serious charges being pressed, but what could be problematic is the fact that they are rumoured to have bought other strip club brands so they can start up their scams again. So, even recent positive online testimonials may already be false or untrue then.
4. Never hand over your debit or credit card to a strip club employee- instead ask for the terminal to be brought to you
5. Know the local laws: Familiarize yourself with the local laws and customs regarding strip clubs and adult entertainment. This can help you to avoid any legal trouble or misunderstandings. Also, never accept the too true to be real offers from the many street promoters and think twice if friendly female company in a bar or pub invites you to a dance club, invariably it ends up being a dodgy strip club. In Krakow there have been reports that “strip club marketing” was taken to another level, some groups have been approached in regular venues or bars, by 2 or 3 attractive females, pretending to be normal partygoers, enticing the lads to the dance floor, heavy flirting to then suggest going to another location or moving onto a another music club, which, in fact, is usually the rip off strip club they work for.
6. When paying with your debit or credit card, always check the currency displayed before confirming the transaction as there is a huge difference between paying 500 PLN and £500 GBP (which is over 5 x more), there are cases of clients being deceived by believing they were paying in local currency indicated by Zloty or PLN, whilst in reality, they have been charged in GBP or EURO.
7. Keep your valuables secure: Always keep an eye on your valuables, such as your wallet and phone, to reduce the risk of theft. Better still, only take cash to a strip club, debit, credit cards or passports leave them in the hotel safe.
8. Be respectful: Treat the performers and staff with respect and follow any rules or guidelines set by the club. You may look but never touch even if it is a lapdance.
9. Avoid going alone: If possible, it is best to avoid going to a strip club alone or getting isolated from your group in the club. Going with a group of friends or a trusted companion can help to increase safety and provide support.
10. Know your limits: Be mindful of your own limits and do not engage in any activities that make you feel uncomfortable or unsafe. It is important to drink responsibly and avoid getting excessively drunk, as this can put you in a vulnerable position and increase the risk of theft or other forms of exploitation.
11. When a stripper asks if you'd like to buy ger a drink, always ask for a price of her drink- drinks for the girls are usually non alcoholic or very weak, and quite expensive- more than regular drinks on the menu
