Out of all the summer events, this one might have been my favorite. Anyone who followed the Marilyn Table Dance bar’s program calendar knows just how many fantastic shows and giveaways awaited guests every Thursday. And if you didn’t keep track – well, shame on you, or at least you should regret it a little, because you missed out on some truly amazing nights!
Now I’m talking to those of you who’ve never quite worked up the courage to visit Budapest’s most prestigious strip club.
What awaits you when you step inside?
First of all, you’ll find yourself in a luxuriously designed venue – however good you imagine it, multiply that by at least ten.
Here, music never stops. But not radio hits with ads, like in some mediocre café or restaurant. No! Every night, a live DJ plays the best tracks.
As you head toward the bar, you’ll pass the stage, where you can admire the pole dancers – usually one at a time, though it’s not uncommon to see two on stage together. That’s when you take a good look around and realize you’ve basically landed in heaven straight from Kálvin Square. The door to Marilyn feels like the wardrobe to Narnia – opening into a whole new world. You look around, and everywhere you see beautiful women. They smile, greet you, and make you feel better than you have anywhere else before.
On the right-hand side of the bar, you’ll spot comfortable sofas and low tables. Yes – these are the Table Dance spots, and trust me, you absolutely need to try it when you visit, because it’s truly an unforgettable experience.
Prefer a bit more privacy? That’s no problem either. Marilyn offers several private rooms where the show is just for you. The prices for private dances are displayed clearly – there’s no scam, no tricks, you get exactly what you asked for.
And what about the drinks – surely, they must be crazy expensive, right? Wrong! Brace yourself: the prices are totally average. In fact, compared to other Budapest venues, I’d even say they’re refreshingly reasonable. And what hasn’t changed in 32 years: here, half a decilitre is still half a decilitre. No ridiculous 2cl shots like most other places, where they don’t even bother to list it properly.
“But isn’t it weird to have an erotic dance from a stranger?” you might think. “Wouldn’t that feel soulless?” Again – no! The girls here are friendly, approachable, they chat with you, listen, entertain, and make you feel completely at ease in their company. They’re natural in any situation, and truly excellent hosts.
“What if the place is overcrowded?” you wonder. Well, yes – sometimes it is packed. But that’s actually good news: you’ll find yourself in parties unlike anything you’ve ever seen. You might stumble into a bachelor party where the atmosphere sweeps you along, and suddenly you’re clinking glasses with strangers, congratulating the groom, and dancing with them until dawn. And yes – I mean dawn. Marilyn doesn’t close at midnight like most clubs; it stays open until 4 a.m.
“Okay, but surely there aren’t any women in the audience,” you might argue. “Women don’t go to strip clubs, so it can’t be a place to meet people.” Wrong again. Female guests are quite common here! I’ve seen birthday girl squads, mixed groups of friends, even all-female crews who came by before heading out partying. Don’t think for a second that a high-end strip club like this attracts only men.
Still making excuses? “What if I want to bring a big group – like fifty people?” Relax. Marilyn can comfortably host up to a hundred guests at once.
Running out of excuses? Maybe you’re thinking, “But what if it’s too hot inside?” Don’t worry – the bar is fully air-conditioned. And if you’re still feeling hot, well… take a shower! Yes, really. On the shower stage, accompanied by a gorgeous dancer.
Worried your underwear might get wet? That’s covered too – you’ll get a brand-new, dry pair as a gift.
So seriously – what are you waiting for? Keep an eye on the events calendar: every Thursday has a theme night, and the fall program looks just as exciting! Believe me, if you want a carefree, unforgettable night out, there’s no need to think twice about where to go. Marilyn has everything it takes to become your go-to spot – just like it became mine. Trust me, and give it a try!
