The best strip club in Indianapolis is Dancers Showclub on West Washington Street, with The Pony on Lafayette Road and Brad's Brass Flamingo on Southeastern Avenue close behind. Seven clubs make the list. Most of them close at 3 a.m., and two run until 4 a.m. at weekends.
Here they are, ranked in the order we would send someone, with the reasoning underneath.

Why this order
Dancers Showclub opens at 11 a.m. Monday to Saturday and stays open until 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. It has a bar, a food menu and bottle service, and lets you in free with a same-day Colts or Pacers ticket stub.
The Pony is a topless club with a full liquor bar, private dances and champagne rooms, and it is open until 4 a.m. on Saturdays. Brad's Brass Flamingo is the old-school choice: a sports room, its own kitchen, and doors open from 11 a.m. six days a week and from noon on Sundays.
Silk The Show Club on Madison Avenue has a food menu, its own DJs and a 7 to 9 p.m. happy hour. Jiggles, on Pendleton Pike, is like The Pony in style: topless, with a full liquor bar, open from 3 p.m. on weekdays.
PT's Showclub is also on Pendleton Pike. Red Garter on South Illinois Street is the one to pick if you are staying downtown, within walking distance of most hotels and the stadiums, with four stages and a kitchen that stays open late.
Downtown or along the main roads
Red Garter is the club for a downtown hotel. The rest are spread along the city's main roads: Dancers on West Washington Street, The Pony on Lafayette Road, Brad's on Southeastern Avenue, Silk on Madison Avenue, and Jiggles and PT's on Pendleton Pike.
Opening times split the list too. Dancers and Brad's open before lunch; The Pony and Jiggles open at 3 p.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m. at weekends; Red Garter opens at 7 p.m., or 3 p.m. on home football Sundays.
Before you go
- Take government-issued photo ID. Dancers, The Pony, Jiggles and Red Garter all say entry is 21 and over.
- Check the night: The Pony and Jiggles open later at weekends than on weekdays, and Red Garter closes on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
- Prices change and are rarely published in full. Treat any figure you find online as an indication and confirm it at the door.
- Going as a group? Brad's, The Pony and Red Garter all take bachelor parties; ask the club directly.
If the vocabulary is new: a lap dance and a private dance are not always the same thing, and striptease is the stage show itself.
What we left off, and why
A few smaller clubs on the east and west sides are missing because we could not reach a website of their own to confirm they are open and where. We would rather leave a club off than send you to a closed door.
