We will also show the pros and cons of the best strip clubs, and you can learn where you can have sex with the strip girls and where you can watch their strip dance without sex.
History of strip clubs in the Austrian capital city
In the 1990s, brothels were not legal in Austria, so a lot of strip clubs operated in Vienna. In these places, the guests were able to watch the striptease on the stage and tip the girls and buy champagne.
The girls did not offer sex to the guests, but the strip clubs were still full of men. The club owners made good money and the girls also did, because of this, the number of strip clubs skyrocketed and they were packed with the best girls.
The strippers also made good money so the clubs were able to choose from the best of the best girls.
After Austria joined the European Union, a lot of girls were allowed to work in the city, because of the open borders and equal rights of the member state citizens. The hiring agencies took advantage of the “Schlüsselkraft” loophole, which was created to make it easier for people with key skills to be hired.
Soon, the dancers became officially “people with key skills” and the strip clubs were never lacking strippers.
There was a time when there were 10 strip bars only in the center area of Vienna, and even more in the whole city. Maxim Wien, currently one of the best brothels in the city, was a strip club then, called Planet Girls Paradise.
The Beverly Hills group owned around half of the clubs in the city center. Next to their strip clubs (Beverly Hills, Big Apple, Starclub, Rush Hour) they had a restaurant (Schwimmende Pyramide) and a disco (Celentano).
The situation drastically changed when the Eastern and Central European countries’ citizens got the right to work freely in Austria, and the new prostitution law of Austria came into effect. This legalized brothels and paid sex became legal in Vienna and Austria. A lot of brothels opened their gates where sex was not a forbidden fruit anymore, the prices dropped immediately and almost no one wanted to spend a lot of money only watching striptease on stage, instead of paying it for real sex in the brothels. As a result, most of the strip clubs were closed in the city.

Maxim Wien is a family-run strip club and brothel in the absolute city center of Vienna. It is a so-called all-in-one sex club, which means that you can watch the girls stripping on the stage, book them to have sex in one of the rooms in the club, or pick them up for hotel escort in Vienna. From our top 3 places, Maxim Wien is the only one where you can have sex with the strip girl and not only watch them on the stage.
Pros:
- Sex with the strippers is possible

This brothel has around 20-25 girls in its line-up, most of them are international ladies and speak many languages. English or German is a must-have for them, but it is not rare that they speak Spanish, Italian, or French next to their native languages. A lot of girls are from Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary, but you can find strip girls from Western European countries and even from Austria as well.
There are many rooms in the place, including regular rooms, VIP rooms, and a BDSM room as well. You can watch the girls dancing on small stages in the community area, where the bar can also be found with the best-known champagne and spirit brands.

2. Beverly Hills
- Address: Seilerstätte 5, 1010 Wien
- Phone: +436764008921
- Website: https://www.beverly-hills-club.at/
- Our rating: 8/10
Beverly Hills is the last remaining bastion of the former strip club empire. You can find good strippers in Beverly Hills, however, the place’s website is less informative than years ago when you were able to check the girls and the prices as well. It is important that in this strip club you can’t have sex with the strippers, you can only enjoy their dance on the stage or private lap dance.
Pros:
- Real strip club experience with great girls
- A lot of girls
Cons:
- Sex with strippers is not possible
- Expensive drinks
This place has had a very troubled past in the last decade. There were many changes in owners, even Goldentime, the famous sauna club in Vienna, tried to integrate the strip club into their system in 2014, and then the original owners came back. The place filed for bankruptcy in 2016 because the owner did not take responsibility for previous debts and the reputation of the club became worse among the clients. There was also a period after the COVID lockdown when the club was not open.
The entry fee is 15 EUR, and when ordering striptease, you go to a private room with the chosen girl. The striptease costs 45 EUR for 5 minutes. The stripper is completely naked and you can even touch her, but just a little bit. The spirits and champagne are expensive, the place’s business model is highly based on selling them.
3. Actress Lounge
- Address: Liebenberggasse 1, 1010 Wien
- Phone: +4367761512740
- Website: https://stripclub.wien/
- Our rating: 6/10
This strip bar is significantly smaller than the other 2 places, and it is located in the center area of Vienna. The owner is Austrian and the bar ladies previously worked in Maxim Wien. In this strip club you can’t have sex with the strippers, you can only enjoy their show.
Pros:
- Good atmosphere
- No entry fee
Cons:
- Very small place
- Usually, there is only 1 strip girl each night
Because this bar is super small, in most cases you will find only one stripper each night. But overall, the place has a good mood and so far we did not hear any red flags related to it.
There is no entry fee and the lap dance costs 70 EUR.
What is the best strip club in Vienna then?
A quick comparison table of the above-mentioned stripclubs:
| Maxim Wien | Beverly Hills | Actress Lounge | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sex with stripper is possible | YES | NO | NO |
| Escort pickup or bookings | YES | NO | NO |
| Interior size | BIG | BIG | SMALL |
| Price of striptease | Free on the stage | 45 EUR/5 min | 70 EUR fixed price |
| Our rating | 10/10 | 8/10 | 6/10 |
If you are looking for the best strip club in Vienna, you should try Maxim Wien or Beverly Hills. A very important difference between these two places is that while you can have sex with the strip girls in Maxim (in the club or pick up the ladies for escort), in Beverly Hills you can enjoy their show without sex.
This significant difference shows why the golden age of the strip clubs in Vienna has ended forever. The private strip shows’ price in Beverly Hills is relatively high if you book the girl for more than just 5 minutes. And if you compare this amount of money with Maxim Wien’s prices, you will realize that the price of striptease is even higher than paying for sex in a room in a high-class brothel in Vienna.
It might be worth trying out a real strip club in the city, but in the long run, guests will always choose the best brothels in the city, which provide sex for the same, or even for less amount of money.
