A lap dancing club has received a slap on the wrist after giving passers-by a bit of an eyeful.

Lounge@30 is based along Clare Street in Bristol centre, and is above the Sinatra's bar and restaurant in Corn Street.

The section along Clare Street is blacked out while the first-floor area above the restaurant features two large panel windows normally covered up by curtains.

But on Saturday night while one curtain only showed a dancer in silhouette, the other curtain was not in place, so anyone on Corn Street who happened to be looking up could see the show for free.

The Evening Post understands that at around midnight a young woman was clearly visible from the street and could be seen gyrating around a pole.

Bristol City Council visited the premises on Monday to remind the licensee that dancers that can be seen from the outside of the venue must be "fully clothed and decently dressed". The Lounge@30 website describes the club as "Bristol's largest and most glamorous lap dancing venue".

It is licensed for full nudity and is open from 10pm until 4.30am, seven days a week.

The club has capacity for 200 people across three floors and provides male as well as female dancers.

The general manager at the club, whose first name is Pranj, told the Evening Post there was no nudity involved and the issue had already been addressed.

He said: "We do not have any nudity on the first floor. It was as if you were seeing a gorgeous girl in a nightclub.

"There is a pole which you could see, and that has been taken care of.

"We have spoken to the licensing officer and he was happy."

Council spokeswoman Catherine Frankpitt said: "We were contacted by a member of the public and our officers have been out to visit the premises.

"They have spoken to the manager and asked that the situation be immediately addressed and the curtains replaced.

"The condition on their licence states that any person who can be seen from outside the premises shall be fully clothed and decently dressed.

"We will be monitoring the premises and failure to adhere to these conditions will result in further action by the council's licensing team."
