Cheetah's of Windsor FAQ
Age, cover, hours, dress code, parking, payment and more — straight answers about downtown Windsor's longest-running gentlemen's club, one minute from the Detroit–Windsor Tunnel.
Age & Entry
How old do you have to be to get into Cheetah's? Can you go at 18?
You must be 19 or older. Ontario strip clubs are licensed premises, so the minimum age is 19, not 18. We check valid government-issued photo ID for anyone who appears under 25.
What is the dress code?
Casual. Men need at least a half-sleeve top and knee-length shorts or longer (no flip-flops). There is no dress requirement for women.
Is Cheetah's safe — what security do you have?
We hold strict security standards. Licensed security guards are on every night — 2 Sunday–Thursday and 3 Friday–Saturday. Guests are screened with a handheld metal detector, and no weapons, knives or bags of any kind are permitted inside (customers may not bring bags in). All entertainers and staff — and any bags they carry — are checked before entering and every time they leave and return.
Hours, Cover & Drinks
What time does Cheetah's open and close?
We're open 7 nights a week from 7 PM. We close at 2 AM Sunday–Thursday and 3 AM Friday–Saturday — including Sundays and Mondays.
What is the cover charge?
Cover is $6 Monday–Thursday and $10 Friday–Saturday. Doors open at 7 PM and cover starts at 8 PM, so the first hour (7–8 PM) is free every night.
Do you serve alcohol?
Yes. Cheetah's is a fully licensed bar with beer, spirits and cocktails, plus regular drink features on event nights.
Money & Prices
Is there an ATM, and what payment do you take?
Yes — there's an ATM on-site, and we accept all major credit and debit cards plus cash (Canadian and US).
Can I exchange US dollars, or get $1 bills for tipping?
Yes. At the bar we exchange US dollars to Canadian, and we sell US $1 bills — the customary bills for tipping entertainers on stage. Buying US singles with Canadian cash carries a service fee of roughly 10–15%.
How much is a lap dance or private dance?
Dance pricing is set by industry norms rather than the club. Across North American clubs, dances are typically around $20 per song, with no fixed limit on how many songs you continue — always based on the entertainer's consent. Some clubs run promotions such as 2-for-1 dances on Mondays or slower nights. Cheetah's also has a separate VIP area you can access for a premium (currently about $20).

What is a gentlemen's club, and what happens there?
