Adult show clubs · 18+ only
Macau has exactly three ticketed show clubs for adults: Playmate's Club, Charm 853 and The Cave. They are a category of their own, not saunas: you come for the stage, the drinks and the atmosphere. Here is how the three differ and how to book one.
Where each one is, when it opens and what admission costs. Where no price is published, ask us for tonight's figure.
01Adult show clubMacau Peninsula centre
The oldest of the three show bars, and still the liveliest room.
Hotel Guia, B1. Macau's longest-running show bar, 19:00 to 03:00, admission HKD 490.
02Adult show clubFisherman's Wharf
A ballroom-sized hall, a serious light and sound rig, and room for a large table.
Fisherman's Wharf. Largest of Macau's three show bars; shows from about 19:00.
03Adult show clubNAPE (新口岸)
Rock walls, a grotto ceiling, a stage and private karaoke rooms behind it.
New Orient Landmark Hotel, NAPE. Cave-themed lounge with stage shows and karaoke rooms.
Playmate's Club is the oldest and the liveliest, Charm 853 the newest and the largest, The Cave the quietest, with private karaoke rooms behind the stage.
Stage shows last about 30 minutes each and repeat several times a night, usually between about 19:00 and 01:00. We check tonight's timetable before you set off.
Playmate's Club charges HKD 490 admission with the show included. The other two publish no official price, so we confirm the figure with the club on the night. Pickup is free.
A show bar is a ticketed bar for adults with a stage. You pay admission, buy drinks, and watch dance and stage performances that run in sessions of about 30 minutes, several times a night. The rounds usually fall between about 19:00 and 01:00. There are no rooms to stay in; you come for the show and the atmosphere.
Macau has exactly three: Playmate's Club, Charm 853 and The Cave. They are in different parts of the city and feel very different inside, so it is worth choosing deliberately instead of going to whichever a taxi driver suggests.
Playmate's Club, in the basement of Hotel Guia, is the oldest and the liveliest. It is a go-go-style bar with pole and stage shows, open from 19:00 to 03:00, and admission is HKD 490 including the show. The decor is dated and the energy is high.
Charm 853, at Fisherman's Wharf, is the newest and the largest: a ballroom-style hall with the biggest light and sound set-up and tables that can be joined for groups. It is the least central and draws the smallest crowd. The Cave, in the New Orient Landmark Hotel in NAPE, is the quietest, a rock-walled lounge that adds private karaoke rooms to its stage shows.
Charm 853 and The Cave do not publish official admission prices, and the numbers quoted online disagree. We confirm tonight's price with the venue when you ask.
Arrive for the first or second round if you want a good seat, and tell us in advance if you need a booth or joined tables. Bring some small notes; tipping performers is common at Playmate's Club. Filming is generally not allowed, and at The Cave photography is mostly prohibited.
A show bar pairs well with a sauna. Many guests watch a round or two, then move on to a 24-hour sauna for a soak, a meal and a massage. The Cave and YU Sauna share a hotel, and Charm 853 and Majesty Spa are neighbours at the Wharf. We arrange the car between stops.
Playmate's Club charges HKD 490 admission including the stage show, with drinks extra. Charm 853 and The Cave do not publish official prices, so we confirm them on the night.
Playmate's Club for atmosphere, Charm 853 for a big production or a large group, The Cave for a quieter drink and karaoke afterwards.
Rounds generally run between about 19:00 and 01:00 in sessions of about 30 minutes. Timetables vary by night, and we check them when you book.
No. A show club is a ticketed bar with a stage: there are no pools, no rest lounge and no overnight stay. Saunas and spas are listed separately, and many guests visit one after the show.
Yes. Tell us which two you want, or let us suggest a pair that are close together, and we handle both bookings and the car between them.
Message us on WhatsApp or Telegram with your group size. We confirm tonight's prices and show times and send the car.
Karaoke rooms are a different night out and sit with our sauna list. Clube Rio in Hotel Rio is a dedicated KTV club with private rooms from MOP 2,888, and Majesty Spa at Fisherman's Wharf has KTV party rooms inside the sauna.
