In Melbourne’s thriving adult entertainment scene, strip club private rooms hold a certain mystery. Tucked behind curtains or beyond velvet ropes, these secluded spaces promise more than just a dance — they offer exclusivity, privacy, and a different level of connection.
Many first-timers are curious: What really happens in a VIP booth? How private is it? And how much does it cost?
This guide breaks down exactly what you’re walking into — no fluff, no fantasy. Just real insight into what private rooms include, what they don’t, and why many partygoers are choosing private shows outside of the club scene altogether.
What Are Strip Club Private Rooms?
Private rooms — often called VIP booths or champagne lounges — are a staple of most clubs in Melbourne’s CBD. Designed for small groups or individuals who want a more intimate setting, these areas offer a step above the main stage experience.
Unlike the bar area or open floor, private spaces are semi-enclosed or fully sectioned off. Depending on the venue, they might include low lighting, comfortable booths, and a dedicated performer to give you undivided attention.
Entry is usually arranged through packages: you might pay per guest, commit to a bottle service minimum, or choose a group package that includes drinks and entertainment. Most clubs make these options clear on arrival, and it’s always worth asking what’s covered before you book.
What Happens Inside a Private Room?
The idea of a private room sparks all sorts of assumptions — but here’s what actually happens.
Once you’re seated, a dancer joins you for a more personal lap dance and conversation. It’s not just about being close — it’s about feeling like you’re the only person in the room. There’s more eye contact, more teasing, and often a softer energy than you’d find near the stage.
That said, don’t confuse private with explicit. Most clubs have strict no-touch policies, and full nudity isn’t guaranteed. Each dancer sets their own boundaries, and club staff are there to ensure those are respected.
Expect something fun, flirty, and elevated — but grounded in mutual respect. If you’re unclear on what’s included, just ask the host before you step behind the curtain.
How Much Do Private Rooms Cost?

Melbourne strip clubs typically offer tiered pricing depending on what you’re after.
For a basic private room experience, expect to spend around $60 per guest. This might include entry to a private booth and a glass of champagne. At $75 per person, you’re often getting two drinks and a little more time. For around $100, most clubs offer open bar access during your session. The premium tier, around $110, usually includes unlimited drinks and a guaranteed lap dance.
Some clubs also offer flat-rate group packages for hen nights or private events, with drinks and entertainment bundled in.
If you want total control of the experience — including location, timing, and who gets invited — a private show may be a better option.
Private Show Pricing (Your Location):
- Topless waiter: $50 per hour
- Male stripper show: $250
- Double strip performance: $490
- Two waiters: $190 per hour
You get to choose the vibe: cheeky, classy, or outrageous. With private entertainment, you set the rules (within legal boundaries), and the performers bring the energy to you.
Why People Prefer Private Shows:
- No noisy venue or club crowd
- You’re not rushed — performances often last longer
- Better value, especially for larger groups
- You choose the music, setting, and how interactive things get
Private shows typically cost $250–$490, with no hidden fees and more freedom than most club packages.
Rules You Need to Know Before Booking
Clubs differ, but most enforce the same core rules when it comes to private rooms.
There’s no touching, unless the performer clearly says otherwise. Phones are not allowed — this means no recording or photos during your session. Most clubs also enforce time limits, usually between 10 and 30 minutes per booking.
You’ll often be guided to your booth by staff. Don’t be afraid to ask questions before committing. Can you choose the dancer? Is the booth fully enclosed or partially visible? Are drinks included?
It’s better to ask upfront than assume and risk disappointment.
Also, keep in mind: Saturday nights tend to be busier. Booking early or reserving a booth ahead of time can make a big difference, especially during peak party season or a hens night rush.
When a Private Show Might Be the Better Fit
Some groups skip the club entirely — and for good reason.
Private shows offer a completely different kind of night. Whether you’re hosting a hens party, celebrating a birthday, or planning something more personal with your partner, booking strippers to come to you means full control.
You choose the location, set the mood, and avoid loud music or bar noise. It’s intimate, relaxed, and easy to tailor to your comfort level.
Here’s what private shows offer that most clubs can’t:
- No interruptions or rowdy patrons nearby
- Longer dance time with one-on-one focus
- Flexible schedule — you’re not tied to club hours
- Ideal for Airbnb parties, house parties, or hotel surprises
It’s also easier to budget. Unlike club packages with priced drinks and optional upsells, private show rates are clear and cover everything upfront. There’s no pressure to keep ordering drinks just to extend your time.
For Melbourne-based groups planning something unforgettable, a private show is often the most cost-effective and satisfying choice.
How to Book Like a Pro
If you’re planning your first strip club visit or booking a private show, here’s what matters most: clarity, respect, and communication.
Know your budget before you arrive, tip generously, and always ask before assuming what’s included. The best experiences come when everyone feels respected — performers, hosts, and your group alike.
For unforgettable entertainment without the confusion, many groups turn to private events. Whether you’re hiring a dancer for your living room or securing a VIP booth for a hot Saturday night in Melbourne, it all comes down to preparation.
The goal is simple: have fun, enjoy the vibe, and give your friends (or yourself) a night to remember.
