AN ENTERPRISING gentlemens' club has found a way to stay open during the coronavirus shutdown: by going drive-thru.

At Minx Gentlemens Club in Virginia Beach, customers can social distance by staying in their cars to watch scantily-clad performers dance on poles.

In video of the drive-thru strip club on social media, dancers in bikinis could be seen vying for the attention of customers driving slowly through the makeshift outdoor space.

Some dancers were showered in bills thrown through car windows, others grabbed their tips from customers by using a trash picker to reach into vehicles.

Virginia’s Governor Ralph Northam on Monday shared details of his plan to gradually re-open the state starting this Friday, if key metrics show a downward trajectory.

From May 15, outdoor seating will be allowed at restaurants in the state.

Virginia has had 25,070 cases of COVID-19, with 850 deaths.

Minx is not the first strip club to pivot to a drive-thru model during the coronavirus pandemic, which has forced businesses across the country to close.

Lucky Devil Lounge in Oregon is also offering drive-thru performances.

On a recent Friday night, there were lines of cars queuing up to see dancers clad in thongs, pasties and other revealing outfits.

Little Darlings in Las Vegas is also offering drive-up nude strip teases.

“Guests can drive up to the front door and we’re going to have dancers separated by the 6-foot separation rule and they can enjoy a totally nude show right from the seat of their car,” an employee told KSNV-TV.
