Creepy video shows abandoned Australian strip club closed by Covid – complete with semi-naked squatter and leftover toothbrushes in the communal shower
- TikTok account which films abandoned venues visits ex-Melbourne strip club
- Goldfingers closed since late 2020 but still has damaged fittings in place
- The bathroom looked still used while a squatter was filmed trying to sleep
A torchlight tour of an abandoned Australian strip club was made even seedier with the unexpected sighting of a semi-naked squatter.
A TikTok page on decaying venues explored Goldfingers Strip Club, which went bust during the pandemic, on Lonsdale Street in the Melbourne CBD,

The TikTok account, which puts videos of decaying venues on the social media platform, went in at night and filmed a man sleeping
