Breaking stigmas, fighting erasure: Striptopia
Melkweg sat down with founder Maggie Saunders to talk about autonomy, designing for strip culture, and the future of sex-positive spaces.


Tiny bikinis, flying dollars, hypnotic pole spins plus a nasty line-up: Striptopia is back with its special club edition.
Striptopia’s Club Night is a high-energy adult playground where music, live performance and the dancefloor collide in one booty-shaking atmosphere. Swap your cash for Striptopia Dollars, tip the performers who catch your eye and, if you dare, treat yourself to a lap dance. It’s a playful nod to the classic American strip club fantasy — reimagined with a wink, sharp humour and genuine care.
"The sensuality of the space, the intensity of the dancefloor, and the unique dialogue between performers and the people around them. Atlanta’s nightlife carries a particular electricity."
DJs set the pace as strippers, pole dancers and drag performers weave through the crowd and take over stages, bars and platforms. Something is always happening, everywhere: audience and performers share the same energy, curiosity and openness. Keep an eye out on Melkweg's socials or newsletter for updates on the musical line-up.
This isn’t a strip club relocated; it’s strip culture turned inside out. Built on consent, inclusivity and performer autonomy, Striptopia is a space where respect and celebration go hand in hand. Performers own their stage and boundaries, while guests are invited to explore and let go responsibly.1
