The Venue

I strolled in to The Venue on a recent Friday late afternoon around 5:30 pm, I came from Club 205 (across the street). 205 was busy but no girls my type so…

The venue isn't very nice. Furniture is run down. Building looks like it badly needs a renovation from the outside. I've seen vacant buildings that look nicer. I think I heard there…

This place is a dive bar type of strip club but very chill, I’ve been about 6 times before. Not upscale, clientele in the day is more older guys and construction workers.…

Visited the Venue at an off time, about 1 pm on a Monday. Maybe 6 customers, 4 or 5 dancers. Dancers were doing 3-song sets (usually 2-song, but not too many dancers…

2pm 0 cover $7.50 Jack and Coke 6-10 girls Dance prices - 3/100 to 3/140 I recently had the opportunity to visit Portland for the first time. It was an extremely short visit (not even 24 hours)…

Visiting Portland for work, I checked out The Venue and Club 205 (across the street from each other) on my first night in town. I headed back to the Venue on…

I read some reviews for The Venue which were positive, so I was looking forward to trying it out… to my surprise it was a terrible experience. Far off from the reviews…

This was an afternoon stop on a warm sunny day. I have the habit of closing one eye as I walk to the door of these clubs, then open it once inside…

Walked in on a Friday late afternoon around 3pm. The parking here is good, it's never hard to find a spot. The doorman does a quick ID check and pat down, no…

Decent amount of parking and well kept up with exterior and interior. This place had the most comfortable couches ever. You literally just sink in. Stage in the center seats and tables…

Visited mid-afternoon; pretty quiet, but plenty of customers came in during the hour I was there. The first 2 dancers I saw were cute, but had black tape over their nipples and kept…

I headed to The Venue last Friday around 1 PM to catch a dancer I had met about two weeks before. Until that first visit with her, I had never come across…

At 1 in the afternoon on a weekday, the Venue was surprisingly busy. Maybe a dozen customers, pretty much spread out. I think maybe 7 girls, but I couldn't do a thorough…

Stopped by The Venue around 3pm last Tuesday, no cover at the door. Wasn’t too busy, maybe 5 others in there and saw about 4ish dancers working. 1 on the pole, another…

This last Wednesday I was at The Venue around 11:30 AM (opens at 10 AM) and had plans on making a few strip club stops. That all changed as I had…

I went here on a Sunday around 2PM. There were at least 6 girls working. It was happy hour so my vodka soda was 4 bucks. There were probably 7 dancers there…

A fav from another club told me she was going to try out Venue, so I decided to stop by and check it out. I arrived at around 6 pm. I hadn’t been…

Stopped by The Venue on a recent Friday afternoon. It was my first visit but some people on this board who I respect had long suggested a visit. I found myself in…

I got a last-minute window to do a little strip club hunting on this Tuesday. I usually like a game plan (knowing at least one dancer at a particular club that is…

I was in the neighboorhood last Saturday afternoon so decided to stop by The Venue. Plenty of parking, no cover, dirty bathroom and bar to the right. Lapdance booths are in the…

The Venue is across the street from Club 205 which is my usual go-to spot when I am in Portland. If things are a little slow or I am not finding…

Visited on a weekday, mid-afternoon. Place was pretty busy for 2:30 pm. Maybe 12 dancers (hard to take a census) and as many customers. There's a round stage in the center, with chairs…

I went to this club on a Sunday evening a couple of weeks ago or so. I had 1 hour to kill before meeting friends to go out and party. The club…

I received a text from my favorite dancer letting me know her schedule this week, so I thought I would spend 30 minutes with her on this Monday. I had a little…

Went to The Venue on a free afternoon and had a bit of fun, but not much mileage. Club layout: As you walk in there’s a stage in front of you, a…

Mid-day at The Venue After reading a couple of positive reviews, I decided to check out The Venue. It’s been quite some time since I last visited, probably pre-pandemic. This…

I hadn't been to this place in a several years, so it was quite different than I remember. I arrived at about 2:30 in the afternoon. There is a center…

Had some free time Sunday afternoon. It had been awhile since I stopped by the Venue (I usually stop across the street at 205) so I figured I'd check in as…

Stopped by in the mid afternoon, parking lot looked busy. Was pleasantly surprised that it was a little mellower than other recent times, music wasn't as bashingly loud and obnoxious as I…

I headed out on a recent weekday afternoon with the anticipation of spending 30 minutes with a “strip club” dancer friend. I first wanted to do a little hunting, or fishing, or…

Continuing my New Year's Resolution of visiting different clubs. Read many good things about this club, figure I give it at try. Swung by the club at around 3pm, and it was…

Hadn't been here since it rebranded from whatever it was before. Seems to have changed a good bit, or maybe I was just really drunk the last time I came in. Sizeable…

I went in on a Saturday morning to kill some time before an appointment. The club was mostly empty, with about 4 dancers and 5 other guys. Grabbed a beer from the…

After reading Artcollege’s recent review, it prompted me to make a last minute decision and head to this club. I am not purposely going to put an exact day because I am…

Visited early afternoon on a weekday. There were maybe 10 customers, 8 dancers (though I may be off a bit). No valet, no cover, no ID scan. The location is convenient to I-205,…

My first visit to Venue, and it didn’t seem much different than the previous club Mystic. Exterior of the building was modern and attractive (used to be a Hooters) and the parking lot…

I had a window of opportunity come up at the last second and I headed out to hit a club or two (ended up at four). I generally like to have a…

It has been a few months since I have made a stop at The Venue and decided to check it out and glad I did. I had a favorite dancer here that…

I hadn't been to the Venue in a few months, and after checking their online schedule and seeing two dancers that were recommended to me slated for Saturday afternoon, I thought it…

Continuing my tour of Portland strip clubs. This place was really happening for a 3pm on a Friday. There were something like 12 to 15 dancers working. The mix…

It's been a while since I've been back to strip clubs, and I decided to pop into The Venue to see if I would enjoy myself there as much as I did…

It has been a few months since I have reviewed The Venue, but I am usually here a couple times a month. This time, it happened by chance, since I was stood…

The first time I tried this club it was a bust but today it was a great experience and I left happy. Visit 1 was an evening a few months ago and there…

I was in the area, so I decided to stop by Venue on a recent Friday evening. I arrived around 6. There was no cover, but the bouncer gave me a pat…

I visited just after lunch time on a weekday afternoon, and The Venue was a little busier than I expected--but that means not very busy. Maybe 10 customers, some finishing their lunches.…

I was tipped off of this place and a special lady that works here from a member on here. After having a few disappointing visits lately at Tommy's and Desire I was…

The website has been a little quiet lately so I thought I would add two recent visits to The Venue. I usually have a regular at this club I come and see,…

One of my least favorite things about step clubs is the location. I always feel like my car is going to be gone once I finish my fun in the VIP. The…

Afternoon mid errand visit. First time after COVID settled in. Went in and all seemed fine except no seating at the bar or the rack which is, it seems, the way it…

I reached out to a dancer I have gotten to know this past year or so and found out she was dancing at The Venue this last Saturday starting at 1 PM.…

Like the title says, I have been wanting to make a stop at this club and finally made it last night. I usually don't do evening visits but found myself home alone…

Multnomah County is open! Portland PLs are rejoicing. I drove past Dream On: cars in the parking lot. I stopped by Club 205 at lunchtime: no seating available. Nobody at the bar…

Location: Venue is on the east side of downtown. It is located just off an exit from I-205. It is next to a shopping mall and across the street from an Olive…

I've been to the Venue a few times. The club itself is pretty decent. There's the main stage in the center with two side stages. A really long bar with plenty of…

I had some time to kill waiting to catch a flight and decided to hit a couple of clubs. I hadn't been into the former Mystic in a while, so I thought…

I was across the street at Club 205, and realized I hadn't been to Mystic since the change of name, and I presume, ownership. Walking in, not much has changed. Same…

Dropped by on a Friday evening around 10PM. The place was semi-full, with a bike club taking up one corner of the main room. The place also reeked of weed. The weird…

This strip club didn’t hold my attention at all and had a “meh” completely forgettable experience. Just like across the street at 205, the quality of entertainers has dipped. The girls didn’t…

Only played country music. Though I am a fan, it's not exactly the vibe I'm after at a club. It definitely kept the tone of the place low key. The few…

It doesn't have quite the character of a dive bar or the flash of an upscale club. If it wasn't for the dancing naked women and stripper paraphernalia for sale, you might…

Stopped by on a Sunday evening to see a dancer I know. Bouncer checked and scanned my ID, but no cover was charged. Inside, the club is neither a dive nor upscale. Maybe…

I stopped by Mystic late Friday afternoon trying to avoid some of the 205 traffic after dropping off a co-worker at the airport. This was my first time here. First…

I hadn't been to Mystic in a long while and I was in the area on a Sunday afternoon, so I thought I'd check it out. The parking lot was pretty empty,…

Hello, This was my first visit to Mystic. I was in a low mood was hoping to get a little attention to for get my problems. I am an average looking guy…

Good stiff drinks. Regular strip club music is played, which is okay. I haven't gotten a private dance here so I'm not sure about that. They seem pretty friendly with girl patrons…

So i have only visited this club a couple of other times back in the day when they were a newer establishment! My buddy and i hit up this club on a…

I had a Sunday evening to kill and ever decided to try Mystic again. I've been here a couple of times before, and although the place has usually been a little slow,…

I arrived at mystic a few hours after hey opened for the day (around 1pm). There were a number of cars in three parking lot but I have no idea where their…

Stopped in around 7pm on a Thursday. Door guy scanned my ID, so if you don't like that you've been warned. I got a well drink at the bar for $3 and…

I was in the neighborhood so I decided to stop by Mystic for a beer and some fun. I've been there a few times before and there's always several girls on…

Stopped by around lunchtime. Good crowd for a weekday lunch hour; maybe 12 or 14 customers, 6 dancers (I think). Girls were 6 through 8; the 8 was a blond who was…

So I stopped by Mystic in the afternoon on a Saturday because there was a dancer I saw on xoticspot that I knew was going to be working until 4:00. Having never…

Mystic is one of Portland's newer clubs (unlike the venerable Acropolis and Mary's which are historic establishments) and straddles the fine line between dive bar and decent "gentleman's club". It's not…

First time visiting this club. After the doorman checked my ID, I walked over to the bar and ordered an old fashioned with Maker's Mark for $10.75. Took my drink to a…

First time visiting this establishment. Went there to visit with a dancer I recently did a photo shoot with so I could show her some of the work. The website said she was…

My first visit to Mystic. Nice local bar. Looked to me like most of the customers were regulars. Girls were 6s and 7s. Everyone was friendly; girls were appreciative of rack tips…

I've been searching for Portland clubs with good dayshifts. Next up I tried Mystic. I went on the Tuesday before Christmas. One thing I notice is that there are always a lot…

Well, I came over to this place after hitting Club 205. I expected a bit more based on reviews on other sites. There were about 8-10 dancers on a Tuesday…

1st time back in the city for several years. Mystic was new to me, across the St from Club 205 which I used to visit regularly. Girls were ok, nothing…

Visited Mystic for lunch today, greeted by security at the door. There are several stages here, two of them were being used while I was here.<br> The bartender was fairly fast & friendly,…

This is a compilation of multiple visits scattered over a few months in between murder investigations and other police activity:<br> <br> Physically,it's a decent club. Parking, sound, seating, and other things like lighting don't…

I just visited Mystic tonight. As I entered I was greeted by security, but there was no cover charge. Some of the Portland clubs on a Saturday night will break…

Sad to report that there was a shooting at Mystic last weekend: http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2014/01/alleged_gunman_in_mystic_strip.html Hearing this news made me think of a trip I had to Mystic back in October that I never reported on.…

Stopped in with a friend to have some dinner and enjoy the scenery for a while. I usually don't come to a club to eat but this one has impressed me as…

Nice club if you want to just chill and grab a beer or two. Draft beer here is relatively cheep. I was able to get a pitcher of blue moon for $12.…

Went twice, had such a great time went back the next day; a couple absolutely fine dancers, kinda made my night. Wasn't able to get one separated for the dance, so…

I've been here several times in the past six months, mostly in the afternoon or early evening. I like to stop a on my way home from work because it is a…

I'm gonna combine this review into two visits I've had recently at Mystic. One was on a Friday night, and the other one was on a Thursday afternoon/evening. 1st visit: Friday night.…

Second visit to Mystic. I came again looking for a specific dancer, and by lucky coincidence found her at the end of her shift. The club isn't any different from…
