Councillors rubber-stamped the controversial plans for Rochester’s Casino Rooms, left, at a two-hour meeting.
Club owner Aaron Stone and Historic Rochester Residents’ Association chairman Philip Ruby argued whether the strip club, Tenshi, would bring down the tone of the High Street.
Mr Stone’s lawyer, Stephen Thomas, claimed the businessman had run sexual entertainment in the Casino Rooms almost every weekend since he took it over in 1992.
The law is changing in April, when venues across Britain will need separate licences to run strip shows.
Mr Thomas told councillors: “We will only advertise on the internet. No-one in Rochester High Street will necessarily know what’s going on, just as they haven’t for the last 19 years.”
The licence is the second to be granted in Medway after Charlotte’s Bar, just a few yards away in Rochester High Street.
Mr Ruby said: “One within a third of a mile is enough. This isn’t a cafe society, it’s young people getting ‘pre-loaded’ and coming down to get cheap alcohol.”
The club will take up half the ground floor of the Casino Rooms, use a separate entrance and punters will be watched constantly on at least 18 CCTV cameras.
There will be four lap-dancing booths, a VIP area with one pole and a stage with another. Conversion work is expected to take a month.
Full report of the meeting and detailed plans in the Medway Messenger, out Friday.
Fancy something a little different for your weekend night out? Well look no further.
A bingo rave is coming to Rochester.
You can dab numbers while grooving to classics on the dance floor at Casino Rooms, in Blue Boar Lane.
Bongo's Bingo has toured Ibiza, Australia, Europe and will be making its Medway debut on Saturday, December 14.
The event team has turned the peaceful yet rewarding past-time into a full on party.
You'll be playing bingo but with confetti, pink unicorns and club classics in the venue's main room.
There are plenty of wacky prizes, from a Henry Hoover to a box of Coco Pops and chances to win lots of cash.
The caller/DJ will be playing music spanning all genres, so you could bring your friends or make it an (adults only) family affair.
Casino Rooms owner Aaron Stone said: 'I have had my eyes on Bongo’s Bingo for a while and I have witnessed it live myself.
'I have spent a lifetime in entertainment, putting on thousands of shows, nights and events and I can honestly say that Bongo’s Bingo is one of the slickest, most professional and most fun nights out I have had.
'It is non-stop laughs, dancing, mickey taking and of course bingo. When I saw it live, I didn’t even want to go to the toilet in case I missed something.
'Tickets went on sale yesterday and are almost sold out already - it’s just crazy.
'This is bingo, but not as we know it. This is as far away from a group of lovely senior ladies wearing raincoats, drinking tea and playing bingo under fluorescent lighting, as you can possibly get.
'I contacted Bongo’s personally and said they needed to come and see Casino Rooms and that we could do an awesome job of hosting such an event.

'It has taken a very long time to get this set up. There are very large, complex and expensive technical elements to this huge production, which not many venues would be able to comply with, but we have pulled it off and it’s a go.
'We are already finding customers are booking to bring not only their friends, but their mums and in some instances, their grandmothers. It’s a family party.'
Tickets are required to play bingo and you can secure your place here.
Players wishing to continue their night out will be granted free entry to the club's late night disco.
