Showgirls

Right so I won’t even pretend like I haven’t been to showgirls before. You would have to be lying if you said you haven’t been before. So it all happened during the rugby world cup, we had just seen a game at one of the pubs and we decided we weren’t dressed for clubbing but we were dressed appropriately for showgirls. We walked in and since it was before 11pm I got in for free as a lady. The music in the strip club was pumping, even better than an actually club. We got our drinks and sat next to the stage by the cage. All I can say is it was one interesting evening.

What could be better than ending a night out on the drink than ending it at Showgirls? It’s dark, seedy, naked girls dancing; It is a strip club after all, and it is pretty awesome.
Compared to some of the other strip joints in town, this establishment is relatively clean (Perhaps clean is not the best choice of words, hmmm let’s say less dirty), and the dancers are very attractive, not to mention talented.
I’d usually choose Showgirls if I had to choose a strippers to go to at the end of the night, or even at the start of the night for that matter because before 7pm they have free entry. And besides, Showgirls is right down the bottom of town. To visit some of the other strip clubs would involve a long walk up Queen Street, and no one is keen for that at 2am.

You know it’s been a cracker of a night if you ended up at Showys. Usually preceded by free-​flowing drinks, some crazy antics and a lot of laughs, a visit to Showgirls is a generally guaranteed good time. Generally.
What can you say about a strip club really. Compared to some others (I’m no expert), it is one of the less seedy ones. Being on the main strip (ha) it does have visitors like yourself who are innocently looking for a bit of fun, rather than just being full of gawking older men. Nothing against the men.
And due to it’s popularity, the dancers are of a pretty good standard. On the night I went the girls were gorgeous and talented.
I would recommend taking a couple of fivers to give the girls — I feel uncomfortable just going to watch without giving anything. But that’s just me.
Apparently you can get lunch here, but ummm no thanks.

I’ve had a very memorable experience at Showgirls. It was one of those weird nights where you end up somewhere and think «hmm how did we manage to end up here. oh who cares.?» My overall opinion of the place was hey. not bad! The show was EXTREMELY entertaining and definitely worth the money you spend to get in. I was right up front getting close and personal with the girls, who I thought were gorgeous and great performers. The things they can do on poles… well I could only imagine attempting that. It made for a really fun night! Not the kind of thing I might do every weekend but if the time is right or the opportunity comes knocking I won’t say no. It’s a good bit of fun!

After a night out on the town that vaguely resembled scenes from ‘The Hangover’, well from what I could remember anyway. My flatmate, her boyfriend and I somehow ended up at Showgirls of all places. Granted this was pretty awkward at the beginning, but we soon got into it.
While stocking up at the bar, which is pretty well supplied with all the liquor you could possibly ever need (and a friendly, gorgeous bartender to boot) we settled back into our seats (right up the front, cringe!) and enjoyed the show.
With continous stage action, professional pole dancers and girls in cages, and impressive laser light action and themed shows (gotta love the little costumes) it was an well oiled production. Billed as Auckland’s only mainstream entertainment strip venue, it somehow manages to escape the trap of being overly skeezy and is generally pretty well run.
If your after a fun night out with the boys (or girls) then give this place a shot. Broaden your horizons and get down and dirtay!
