Are Nashville Party Strippers Legal? What You Need to Know

TNashville has exploded as one of the hottest bachelor and bachelorette party destinations in the country. Between the honky-tonks on Broadway, private lake house rentals, and nonstop nightlife, it’s easy to see why so many groups choose Music City to celebrate. But one question comes up again and again: “Is it legal to hire strippers for a Nashville bachelor party?”

The short answer: yes—if you follow the law and keep your event completely private. In this guide, we’ll break down what the Tennessee Adult Entertainment Act says, what you need to know as a party host, and how to make sure your Nashville party stays safe, legal, and unforgettable.

🎭 What the Tennessee Adult Entertainment Act Says

In 2023, Tennessee passed the Adult Entertainment Act, which restricts certain performances in public settings. The law specifically prohibits “adult cabaret performances” in public or anywhere they could be viewed by minors.

What counts as adult cabaret?

Exotic dancers

Strippers

Go-go dancers

Male or female impersonators

The key factor is whether the performance could be seen by the public or by minors. If it’s in a private, enclosed space with adults only, the law treats it very differently than if it’s on display in public.

🏠 Private Parties vs. Public Performances

The safest and legal way to host a stripper party in Nashville is to make sure it’s completely private. That means:

The party is invite-only.

The event takes place inside a private residence, hotel suite, or rental property.

No part of the performance is visible from the street, sidewalk, or neighboring properties.

If the performance is visible to neighbors, passersby, or minors—even accidentally—it could be treated as indecent exposure under Tennessee law.

🔞 Age Requirements

Another important rule: everyone in attendance must be 21 years or older.

Why 21? Because alcohol is almost always part of these celebrations, and adult entertainment mixed with underage guests is a legal disaster waiting to happen. Always check IDs if you’re unsure about someone’s age, especially in large groups.

❌ Common Misconceptions

When it comes to Nashville parties, we hear a lot of myths. Let’s clear up the biggest ones:

“If it’s in a private house, it’s always legal.”

Not true. If the show is visible outside, you could still face legal issues.

“Anyone can attend as long as it’s private.”

Wrong. All guests must be 21+ with no exceptions.

“Performers can be hired off Craigslist or through unlicensed ads.”

Risky and unsafe. Without booking through a licensed provider, you risk scams, unreliable entertainers, and even legal exposure.
