Gentlemen Clubs in Scotland run in tandem with the rest of the UK and are unique in terms of style and work conditions compared to gentlemen’s clubs worldwide. Dancers carry out little on the main floor and instead, focus on lap dances, or private shows. Some clubs will have a rotation of dancers on stage, but this is normally with very little of the showmanship compared to other countries. Drinks for girls cost the same as if they would for customers as there is no drinks or champagne commission offered to the dancers. All the money is spent and made in the private rooms.
The UK clubs have a larger pool of girls compared to other countries and normally have higher numbers on any night. This is in contrast to European clubs. The American style influences the clubs with commission structure and in terms of larger, busier venues. The main difference is there being a lack of focus on stage shows and stage tips. Licensing laws do not allow for any touching or extras within the clubs.
Club system in Scotland
Gentlemen Clubs in Scotland run on the lap dance system. There is often no drinks commission and never a fixed salary. The dancer pays the club either a ‘house-fee’ or a small percentage of dances sold. The rest is hers to keep. Dancing work in Scotland is fast paced and sometimes a little more aggressive than champagne clubs. The faster pace works very well for a lot of girls. Some find it easier to get many small dances to mount up rather than trying to extract large amounts in one go. Alcohol consumption is also not obligatory. Dances start at £20 for a fully nude, single song.
Some Gentlemen Clubs in Scotland have a rotation of girls dancing on stage. The number of stage shows vary from club to club, with some offering a continuous rotation and some offering none at all apart from stag shows. Pole shows normally take the form of a one or two song stage stage either fully clothed or topless. Very few will offer full nude out on the club floor. Feature shows are very rare. Girls working in strip clubs in Scotland make their money purely from private shows so it is very much focused on this. Management place less pressure placed on girls to hit targets. However, there is a lot of competition from other girls. The work system encourages dancers to be very self-motivated and ensure that they maintain focus as any time spent on the floor is for free, or paid for .
Where Gentlemen Clubs in Scotland are located
Scotland has relatively few clubs. It is very sparsely populated compared to the rest of the UK. Clubs are mainly concentrated in the two main cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Outside of these, the oil city of Aberdeen. The reason being, the high numbers of oil workers flying out of the city to the rigs in the North Sea.
Private Eyes is the largest chain within Scotland with branches in Aberdeen, Inverness and Dundee. Edinburgh has what is known locally as the ‘pubic triangle’ with three strip club located right next to each other. This is the highest concentration of strip clubs in the whole of the UK. Clubs throughout the city include; Fantasy Palace and Baby Doll’s. Glasgow has a branch of Platinum Lace, Diamond Doll’s and Seventh Heaven. Finally, other strip clubs in Aberdeen include Silhouette’s and Number 7.
