Miami strip clubs: rules, clubs and costs

Miami strip clubs break the rule you might know from Vegas: here a lot of clubs pour drinks and go fully nude. Florida sets a floor (dancers 21 and up since 2024, no drinking under 21), Miami-Dade keeps under-18s out, and each city layers its own rules on top. Miami Beach is the strict one, which is why the big rooms are on the mainland, many open until 5 or 6am and a couple around the clock.

Below: the laws with links, eight clubs that were open when we checked in November 2026, what they and the local press say they charge, and how to get there and home without a surprise on your card. Brush up on strip club etiquette before you go.

Can you drink at a fully nude strip club in Miami?

Yes, at many mainland clubs, but not in Miami Beach. Gold Rush calls itself a "full nude cabaret" with full liquor service (Gold Rush¹⁷); Bellas says it's a fully nude club with a full bar (Bellas¹⁸); Booby Trap on the River advertises full nude dancers (Booby Trap¹⁶) and, Miami New Times reports, holds a 24-hour liquor license (Miami New Times¹). Tootsie's is full nude (Time Out²) with six full bars (Miami New Times¹).

These rules are local. The City of Miami Beach doesn't allow nude clubs to serve alcohol, a long-running fight with Club Madonna, which Miami New Times described in 2017 as the city's only fully nude club (Miami New Times⁸). We couldn't confirm Club Madonna is operating in November 2026: its website returned nothing when we checked, so it's not in our table.

How old do you have to be to go to a strip club in Miami?

At least 18 to get in anywhere in Miami-Dade, 21 to drink, and most clubs set 21 at the door. In 2016 the Miami-Dade Commission voted unanimously to amend county rules so that under-18s can't be on the premises of an adult entertainment club at any time, whether or not dancers are performing (Miami New Times⁷). Florida makes it unlawful for anyone under 21 to possess alcohol (s. 562.111⁶). The state's dancer-age law doesn't set a customer age, a gap the 2024 lawsuit against it pointed out (Tampa Bay Times⁵), so each club picks its own: Gold Rush, Bellas, Sexxy Lady and E11EVEN all say 21+ (Gold Rush¹⁷, Bellas¹⁸, Sexxy Lady²⁰, E11EVEN¹⁵). Bring real ID.

What is Florida's law on strippers under 21?

Since 2024, a club that knowingly lets anyone under 21 perform or work there commits a crime, and a felony if that person works nude. Section 787.30 of the Florida Statutes, created by chapter 2024-184, makes it a first-degree misdemeanor for an owner, manager, employee or contractor to knowingly employ or permit a person under 21 to perform or work in an adult entertainment establishment, and a second-degree felony if the person works nude. Clubs must check a government ID, and not knowing someone's age is no defense (Fla. Stat. 787.30³). Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill, HB 7063, in May 2024 (Tampa Bay Times⁵).

Two clubs, a dancer and an adult store challenged it in federal court. After the 11th Circuit upheld a similar Jacksonville ordinance in April 2025, the plaintiffs dropped the case and the judge closed it in May 2025, though the dismissal was without prejudice (WUSF⁴). For you, it means every dancer in a Florida club should be 21 or older.

Can you touch the dancers in Miami?

Assume no, unless she says otherwise, and never anything more. Contact rules vary by city and by club, and the house rules are the ones bouncers enforce. A lap dance is a performance; sex is not what you are paying for, and it's illegal. If you're wondering whether the attention is real, read how to read a stripper. What a VIP or champagne room actually includes is in our champagne room guide.

Which strip clubs are open in Miami?

These eight were covered by Miami New Times (March 2026) or Time Out (May 2025), and all but one had a working official site when we checked in November 2026. This is a list, not a ranking; "not stated" means neither the club nor the press said.

• Tootsie's Cabaret (150 NW 183rd St., Miami Gardens) bills itself as the world's largest strip club, at 76,000 square feet with six stages and six full bars, Miami New Times reports; that's the club's claim, not a measured fact. Open noon to 6am daily (Miami New Times¹). Time Out calls it a "classic, full-nude" club (Time Out²).
• E11EVEN (29 NE 11th St.) calls itself a 24/7 "ultraclub," 21+, with four full-service bars (E11EVEN¹⁵). Time Out notes it has "topless dancers—many of them" and private dances upstairs, with the 24-hour format running Thursday to Sunday (Time Out²).
• Booby Trap on the River (3615 NW South River Dr.) lists itself as open 24/7 (Booby Trap¹⁶), in what Miami New Times calls a "grungy industrial district" along the river (Miami New Times¹).
• Gold Rush Cabaret (7770 Biscayne Blvd.) lists doors 5pm to 5am, 21+ with photo ID, and free guest-list entry before 11pm (Gold Rush¹⁷). It's the successor to a downtown club of the same name (Time Out²).
• Bellas Cabaret (885 SE 14th St., Hialeah) lists 8pm to 5am daily, strictly 21+, fully nude, with bottle service (Bellas¹⁸).
• Playmates Miami (3875 Shipping Ave.) is fully nude per Time Out, with bottle service and a VIP room (Time Out²), open 3pm to 5am weekdays (Miami New Times¹). Its site was returning an error when we checked. In a 2022 Miami-Dade lawsuit, a customer claimed he was drugged and $40,000 was charged to his cards there; the club's former owner called the claims false and said the customer approved the charges by phone with his card companies. Miami New Times also reported the club had been sold to RCI Hospitality (Miami New Times¹⁰). We found no reported outcome.
• Dean's Gold (2355 NE 163rd St., North Miami Beach) lists 6pm to 6am daily and bottle-service packages (Dean's Gold¹⁹). Miami New Times says the property is approved for a future apartment project (Miami New Times¹), so check it's still open.
• Sexxy Lady Cabaret (1792 NW 79th St.), formerly the Foxxy Lady, opened in 1983 and is open 2pm to 5am (Miami New Times¹); its site is 21+ (Sexxy Lady²⁰).

Not on the list: King of Diamonds was evicted from its Miami Gardens building in 2018 (The Real Deal¹³), and we couldn't confirm a current location. Scarlett's and Cheetah in Hallandale Beach, which Time Out includes, are over the line in Broward County (Time Out²).

Are there strip clubs in South Beach?

Practically none: the clubs are on the mainland, a rideshare away. Miami Beach doesn't let nude clubs serve alcohol, Miami New Times reported (Miami New Times⁸), and has been tightening nightlife hours: a judge let the city end alcohol sales at 2am, instead of 5am, for large venues south of Fifth Street (WLRN⁹). The clubs above sit across the bay, from downtown's Park West to Miami Gardens in the north, Hialeah and the Miami River near the airport, and Coral Gables to the south.

• Use rideshare or a cab you called, both ways, and name the exact club and address. The river and Hialeah clubs are in industrial areas.
• Know who you're leaving with. In 2011 federal prosecutors charged 17 people over a scheme in which women recruited at legitimate South Beach clubs lured tourists to private bars where huge liquor bills were charged to their cards, one for $43,000 (CBS Miami¹¹). In 2016 the 11th Circuit reversed most of the resulting wire-fraud convictions over a jury instruction (11th Circuit¹²). The lesson stands: if a stranger insists on moving you to a different bar, stay put.

How much does a Miami strip club cost?

The cover is small; bottles and VIP rooms are where it adds up. From Miami New Times (March 2026) and Time Out (May 2025):

• Tootsie's: cover $10 for women and $15 for men, bottle packages $575 to $2,000, not including dances (Miami New Times¹). Time Out listed $8 weekdays and $20 on weekends after 7pm (Time Out²).
• Playmates: $15 before 8pm, $20 after (Miami New Times¹).
• Bellas: $50 champagne rooms and $150 bottles during its nightly happy hour (Miami New Times¹).
• Sexxy Lady: cover typically $20 on weekends, dances $10 (Time Out²).
• Gold Rush: a $5 cover during its 8 to 11pm "Rush Hour" (Time Out²).
• Dean's Gold: a $300 "VIP Table for Two" that includes admission (Dean's Gold¹⁹).
• E11EVEN: entry varies by event, especially big DJ nights (Time Out²).

Prices change; ask at the door and ask each dancer her price before the song starts. For ATM and "funny money" fees, card surcharges and typical dance prices, see our strip club cost guide. Bringing a group? Our bachelor party guide does the math.
