Ian CheesemanMy buddies from Chicago hit me up out of the blue, saying they were heading to Toronto for the weekend and needed a place—well, mine—to crash. Apparently, one of them was nursing a broken heart and was set on hitting up a couple of strip clubs.
Now, I’m not exactly a seasoned strip club connoisseur, but hey, when duty calls, you gotta step up to the plate, right?
After a bit of sleuthing and asking around, we decided to go on the ultimate weekend strip club crawl to check out the most awesome strip clubs the city has to offer. And let me tell you, it turned out to be one heck of a wild ride.
Whether you’re looking for a fun night out or need a distraction from a broken heart, definitely check out this curated list of Toronto’s best strip clubs!
How much does going to a strip club cost in Toronto?
At Toronto strip clubs, expect to pay a cover charge at the door, which can range from around $10 to $30 or more, depending on the club’s popularity and the day of the week. Once inside, drinks can range from $5 to $15 or more each.
If you opt for private dances or VIP experiences, prices can vary widely based on the club and the dancer. Rates usually begin at around $20 per song but can climb to hundreds of dollars for longer sessions.
How We Chose the Best Strip Clubs in Toronto
1. House Of Lancaster
The House of Lancaster was founded by Spiro and his late brother in 1981, and it’s been a go-to spot for celebrities, athletes, and music icons. In fact, their clients include the who’s who of the entertainment world—from Led Zeppelin to the Toronto Blue Jays.
Inside the club, the stage DJ brings the energy to new heights, and we had fun watching their talented performers dance! We also love their amazing bottle service deals and the wide selection of liquor to boot.
We also learned that bachelor and bachelorette parties are held here regularly, which is pretty cool compared to other clubs that only have male guests.
What was not cool was the sometimes pushy upselling of the wait staff. But other than that, we had a blast here!
Pros
- Open since 1981
- Have had notable clients
- Great bottle service deals and selection
- Has a cool stage DJ
- Known for bachelor and bachelorette parties
Cons
- Pushy upselling

2. Club Paradise
If you want a top-notch strip club experience, you gotta check out Club Paradise. They’ve got gorgeous dancers, top-notch entertainment, and classy service.
When we went into the club, we really dug their sophisticated yet modern decor, complete with state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems. They also have private booths and a smoking room at the back.
Furthermore, we have to give a shout-out to their friendly and down-to-earth dancers. We thought they were quite talented, too.
Upon ordering drinks, we noticed their extensive list of top-shelf liquors and craft cocktails, pretty much covering the diverse tastes of our group.
We also saw that their VIP doors closed (a rarity in many clubs). Booking a VIP room seems like a win-win because they offer bottle service and no cover charge for VIP access.
On the other hand, we found their bouncer to be kind of rude, so watch out for that guy.
Pros
- Sophisticated yet modern decor
- State-of-the-art lighting and sound
- Has private booths and a smoking room
- Has a closed VIP room
- Friendly and down-to-earth dancers
Cons
- Some rude bouncers

3. The Brass Rail
Since 1958, The Brass Rail has been serving up quality adult entertainment.
They’re located just steps from Yonge and Bloor subway station, which is pretty convenient. We think their spot is also ideal for a lot of scenarios—whether you’re chilling out, celebrating a stag do, or just out for a wild night.
Another bonus is their professional dancers who really know how to work the pole. With over 300 girls on rotation, you’re guaranteed to find someone who catches your eye.
As for seating, you can go downstairs for a club-like vibe with live all-nude performances, or upstairs for a more intimate lounge. The plush seating and gentle neon lights set the mood, so kick back and let the girls do their thing.
Just watch out for the waitresses—they can be a bit pushy with the drink orders, even after we’ve had a few too many!
Pros
- Open since 1958
- Steps from Yonge and Bloor subway station
- Over 300 girls on rotation
- Can choose to go downstairs or upstairs
Cons
- Some pushy waitresses
Girls were very skilled dancers and the drinks were well made
“A great experience!! I have never been to a strip club before and this place was great. The girls were very skilled dancers and the drinks were well made. The service was on par. I would definitely recommend it. A very clean establishment over all. Aby the bathroom attendant is an asset to the organization.”

4. Filmores Gentlemen’s Club
If you’re looking for a classic strip club experience straight out of an old movie, then, we recommend Filmores Gentlemen’s Club. Nestled along Dundas East, it’s become a downtown landmark with its vintage charm.
While it may have once been the go-to spot for lunchtime deliveries, today it’s known as the entry-level club for dancers on their way up the ladder. Speaking of which, we appreciated their attractive performers and cool stage show.
Now, if you’re looking to splurge, try their Players Lounge for some VIP treatment, where the temperature isn’t the only thing heating up. From private corners with bad girls to bottle service, they’ve got everything you need for an unforgettable night.
However, keep an eye out for the bouncers—they’ve been known to be a bit overly aggressive.
Pros
- Classic strip club with a vintage charm
- Attractive performers
- Cool stage shows
- Has a Players Lounge
Cons
- Reports of overly aggressive bouncers
Best strip club in the city, hands down!
“Best strip club in the city, hands down! Went there last night after the NHL skills comp. Girls are beautiful, staff was friendly and helpful (my buddy lost his phone but the security guys recovered it) highly recommend!”
Dee Samsonite, Google Review
Filmores is always at the top of the list every time
“Filmores is always at the top of the list every time. Truly a hidden jem. Classic layout, comfortable atmosphere. Interactive waitresses, welcoming door men/security and of course, good variety of beautiful girls. Guaranteed fun.”
Eglinton West, Google Review
5. Club Zanzibar
Club Zanzibar on Yonge Street opened in 1959, and it’s one of the last surviving strip clubs in the area. While it may have once hosted famous R&B and rock and roll acts, today it’s known for its beautiful and friendly girls, as well as a fun, chill atmosphere.
We like that their drinks won’t break the bank, the music is on point, and the owner, Steve, is a nice dude who keeps things running smoothly. Basically, they gave us more bang for our buck.
Remember, though, Club Zanzibar is strictly 19+, and their dress code is ‘dress to impress’!
Also, a word to the wise—be cautious about the private dances because we heard people say they’re a bit overpriced.
Pros
- Opened in 1959
- Hosted famous R&B and rock and roll acts
- Beautiful and friendly girls
- Affordable drinks
Cons
- Pricey private dances
