Strip Clubs in Mississippi: Wet, Dry and the ABC Rules

Mississippi has a short strip-club map. Our directory lists four venues in the state: two in Jackson, one in Biloxi on the Gulf Coast and one in Vaiden, a small town in Montgomery County. Two things decide where clubs can operate and what they can offer: the state’s alcohol rules, and the patchwork of wet and dry counties left over from local-option elections.

The rules that shape Mississippi clubs

  • The ABC conduct rule. The Department of Revenue’s Alcoholic Beverage Control regulations (Miss. Admin. Code Title 35, Part II, Rule 2.7.100) apply to anyone holding an on-premises alcohol permit. Holders may not allow anyone on the premises dressed so as to expose the female breast below the top of the areola, the buttocks cleft or the genitals. The rule also bans touching for entertainment purposes and any live performance appealing mainly to prurient interest, naming erotic dancers, strippers and topless dancers as examples. Permitted venues may charge an admission or entertainment fee, but cannot make buying alcohol a condition of entry.
  • Wet and dry counties. Statewide prohibition ended in 1966, and since then each of Mississippi’s 82 counties has decided by referendum whether to allow alcohol sales. As of August 2025, the Department of Revenue’s wet/dry map shows 51 wet counties and 26 that are dry except for the county seat or certain municipalities, with split arrangements in a few others. Some cities have also voted themselves wet under a 2012 law, so whether alcohol can be sold at a given address depends on the county, the district and the city.
  • County ordinances. Under a state law in force since 2010 (Miss. Code § 19-5-104), a county board of supervisors can adopt ordinances regulating places where public nudity is present.

Jackson

Jackson sits mostly in the First Judicial District of Hinds County, which voted wet in 1966.

Biloxi

Harrison County voted wet in 1966. Check the current Biloxi city code for any local rules on sexually oriented businesses.

Vaiden

Vaiden is in Montgomery County, which held its wet referendum in 1982. The club here is listed as a sister venue of Danny’s Downtown in Jackson.

What to check before you go

  • What the club serves. The ABC rule ties nudity and dance limits to on-premises alcohol permits, so a venue’s drinks policy and its entertainment policy are linked. Ask the club directly.
  • The cover charge. Permitted venues may charge an entertainment fee but cannot require you to buy alcohol to stay. Ask what the door price includes.
  • Whether the venue is still open. With only a few clubs in the state and rules that differ by county and city, call ahead to confirm current hours.
