lupanar 1. A brothel, a bordello, or a whorehouse. 2. An establishment specifically dedicated to prostitution. In some places, licensed brothels are legal and in some large cities, brothels may be confined to special 'red-light' districts or in recognized places where prostitutes have rooms so they are no longer hanging around on the streets.
