The best strip clubs in Miami for some pole action

E11EVEN has become a globally recognized institution in Miami with its own vodka brand, forthcoming residences (yes, you can live across the street) and clothing (sported globally—because OMFG the hats are so comfortable). This strip club is as much entertainment as it is spectacle, thanks to huge music bookings, crazy lights and live aerial acrobatics. But for all the characteristics of a strip club that this 24/7 nightlife juggernaut has, it's technically not not a strip club—it's an "ultraclub." For example, there are topless dancers—many of them—swinging around on poles and collecting dollar bills in thongs that leave little to the imagination. Private dances are available upstairs, too. The club operates nearly round-the-clock with its famed 24-hour format kicking in Thursday through Sunday. Dress like you’re heading to a VIP table—think upscale and stylish; flip-flops, beachwear and jerseys will get you turned away. Entry fees vary based on the night’s event, especially for major DJ bookings, so plan (and pregame) accordingly.

Scarlett's in Hallandale Beach packs in five bars and five seating areas perched in front of some serious twerking talent. The late-night crowd here is strong on the weekends (thanks to the 8am closing time on Friday and Saturday). Brace for what's normally a $20-ish cover fee at the door and a dress code that forbids shorts and sandals for dudes. Monday through Friday, enjoy $100 bottles from noon to 8pm. Sunday through Tuesday, bottles cost $150 all night, which is actually a good deal for strip clubs. The spot also has a free lunch special Monday through Friday from noon to 3pm. Cover charges start at $10 before 7pm, with prices rising to $20 after 10pm on weekends. The dress code is clean and casual—but leave your sweats, gym shorts and plain white tees at home.

Davie, just west of Fort Lauderdale, is now in our strip club consideration set thanks to this spot. With "The Sexy Circus" as its tagline, Vixens Cabaret lives up to just that with nightly acrobatic performers that swirl fire, dance through hoops and do some crazy-ass stunts. Big DJs have been known to pop in too, to the likes of Paul Oakenfold and Darude, adding that much more to the fiesta. Open daily from 5pm to 6am, the club's motto might as well be “dress to impress”—think nightlife chic. Come early in the week for bottle deals and a no-cover happy hour from 5 to 8pm.

This classic, full-nude Miami strip joint is known to serve some surprisingly tasty food. Tootsie's features a full-service restaurant with breakfast, lunch and dinner (Rick Ross apparently loves their lemon pepper wings). Sometimes you'll even see a line out the door... of people just ordering takeout. The two-level club is absolutely huge (it has dubbed itself the world's largest strip club, though we sadly can't personally confirm this claim), and it's also quite impressive with six stages, four bars, over 300 TVs, and a 400-square-foot main stage with two 32-foot poles. Operating daily from noon to 6am, Tootsie’s enforces a no-nonsense dress code—no baggy pants, offensive clothing or athletic wear allowed. Entry is generally $8 on weekdays and climbs to $20 on weekends after 7pm. Mondays through Wednesdays feature can’t-miss meal specials on favorites like prime rib and street tacos.

Strip club aficionados have been going to Cheetah in Hallandale Beach for years. The sizable, fully nude club has six stages, three different levels, a cigar selection and, of course, a small army of talented dancers. Admission is on the more affordable end: free until 7pm, $10 from 7 to 9pm and $20 after 9pm daily. And get this: The club does free lunch every day from 11:30am to 3pm. There's free wi-fi when you need to rifle off a work-email. You can come dressed casually, but after 7pm, tank tops and flip-flops are a no-go. Expect holiday-themed parties and even the occasional car show thrown in for fun.

Gold Rush is the reincarnation of an infamous Miami strip club that once operated in Downtown. Gold Rush 2.0 offers only a small sampling of the mayhem that used to go down there, but this club still knows how to party – and the Cajun spiced quesadilla for $15 is definitely a draw. The vibe is club-like with plenty of flashing LED lights and a lit DJ, but rest assured, the dancers go all in. Just be sure to observe the dress code—dudes who show up in shorts risk paying extra to get in. Guests can take advantage of Rush Hour specials from 8 to 11pm, which include a $5 cover and discounted drinks. Smart casual attire is encouraged and themed nights like UFC watch parties add to the crowd-pleasing energy.

Known as the Foxxy Lady since 1983, this petite, centrally located strip club earns praise for its cleanliness, body positivity, friendly staff and good vibes. Cover is typically $20 on weekends, dances go for $10 and there's free parking on-site. Also, $10 for a private dance is a bargain. Despite its smaller size, Sexxy Lady doesn't skimp on popular amenities like hookah service, and food trucks are usually parked outside. Open from 2pm to 5am daily, cover is often $10 before midnight. Swing by on Henny Wednesdays for $8 shots and a particularly hyped midweek crowd.

Located in Coral Gables off Bird Road, Playmates has stepped up its game in recent years under new ownership. It’s more of a laidback and approachable party vibe here, but you can still expect bottle service, a VIP room, a full kitchen, hookah and, of course, friendly, fully nude dancers. Hours stretch from 3pm to 5am most days, with slightly later weekend starts. Entry is free before 8pm and rises to $15 on weekdays and $20 on weekends. Come in casual attire, but after 8pm shorts and open-toed shoes are not welcome. Sports nights and holiday parties keep the energy fresh.

The fellas get on stage and shake it for some cash at this Fort Lauderdale institution. LaBare is a favorite for bachelorette parties, birthdays or anyone trying to bring their Magic Mike fantasies to life. They offer some not-too-shabby party packages for groups of five to eight guests, and all parties receive a bottle of free house champagne just for showing up. If you're a dude, prepare to pay a bigger cover charge. The party typically begins at 8 pm. Wednesday through Sunday and it’s open until at least 2am (3am on Friday and Saturday). Cover for women starts at $15 to $25, depending on the night, while men must pay $40 and be accompanied by a lady. Free well drinks and beer flow on select nights (Wednesday and Sunday), which only sweetens the deal.
