Welcome to Swinging Richards, a.k.a. “The only gay strip club in the heart of the The Bible Belt.” The club is located in Atlanta and is the subject of a new documentary appropriately titled All Male, All Nude.
In an interview with the Georgia Voice, director Gerald McCullouch calls the film “a unique symbiotic relationship to witness and experience night after night. There is so much common respect and appreciation.”

He adds, “I was intrigued with the relationship many of the straight entertainers had with their gay regular customers.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
McCullouch, who is originally from Atlanta but is now based in New York, spent over five years on the documentary, interviewing dancers, staff members, customers, and shooting b-roll footage. Finally, all these years later, it will premiere at the Atlanta’s LGBTQ film festival Out On Film this weekend.

Only saw one of any interest to me, but I like that they all look like real guys — a little sleazy.

This is of more interest to me than “Magic Mike” because it’s real, It doesn’t hurt that it’s gay-oriented, either.

A lot of hot looking guys! I wonder how many church goers pretending to be righteous will sneak into this gay bar.

Do not tell me that this information is JUST coming out!!! If I remember correctly, this club was popular back in the 80s and 90s as I lived in Atlanta from 1970 to 2013. So…my question is….Did I miss something here? How is it that it is just being discovered?
ShowMeGuy
It isn’t just being discovered…….but a gay guy with some pull in the film industry is FINALLY not afraid to be “out and proud” in Hollywood, so he can make a documentary and make some money too.

Great, more straight guys making money off of gays. This is why I generally ignore “shot” boys.

More like only all nude strip club that somewhat caters to gays. Women are allowed in and cause the normal problems. There are other male strip clubs owned by gays in the bible belt. They just aren’t all nude.

HaHaHaHa Atlanta isn’t the heart of the Bible belt and when I first saw the tagline **The only gay strip club in the heart of the Bible Belt** I instantly had the names of three other gay male nude strip clubs; located in the actual Bible belt, running through my brain.

LOL no ATL is not in the “heart of the Bible belt”, and yes there are other gay/bisexual men’s strip clubs south of the Mason Dixon line and in the Bible belt.

I live in Atlanta and have been to Swinging Richards many times. I’ve had fun but its the typical stripper bar. They do have a variety of dancers so you’re sure to find one to your liking. It is expensive and yes, most of the dancers are straight. One of the biggest problems I have with the place is they allow women. It can make things uncomfortable and some of them get drunk and obnoxious. I’ve seen several get up on the stage during a dancers performance. The show was stopped and security had to throw the idiot out. Overall it can be a fun place but bring lots of money because the place isn’t cheap

Didn’t they use to be in North Miami Beach; and then they moved to Pompano?

Yes and then it closed.

If what’s his face Magic Mike tour/club only caters to ladies, then women should not be allowed in gay strip clubs. Straights already have enough catered to them.

What about the Corner Pocket in New Orleans ?
