Mary's Club

I was near downtown on a Thursday evening around 9pm and decided to visit Mary's. Parking lots are about 1-2 blocks away from the club, $13 to park. The club is on…

Trigger warnings: this PL made dumb decisions and this place provides a terrible value. This place is Portland's version of a Cheers replica bar--right down to the crappy price/value proposition. It…

I was in Portland for work, and didn't want to go bed after dinner. Noticing that Mary's was only a few blocks away from some excellent Thai food, I decided to…

After departing Seattle and leaving Kittens Cabaret and Kayla in the rearview I continued my roadtrip south to Portland. Arrived late, got myself a nice hotel downtown (except that the A/C was…

Portland, OR. Saturday night. I heard a lot about this place but I guess they moved locations so that ruins the history/magic really. It looks like it goes back to the 30's…

I was recently staying in downtown Portland a few blocks away from W. Burnside St. I decided to stop into Mary's club because it was a few blocks from my lodging. Mary's is…

Had an “appointment” downtown and was early so I decided to find a club to kill time at. Problem is downtown clubs open at 7 (even Union Jacks on the near east…

There are over 100 reviews of Mary’s here already. I’m submitting a new one anyway because they just moved to a new location nearby, at 503 W. Burnside, so I stopped in…

I was walking around downtown Portland with some friends fairly late at night. We saw the marquee for Mary’s and decided to pop in. There was a bouncer outside checking IDs. He…

Stopped into Mary's Club on a Saturday afternoon, maybe 1-2pm. It's the classic dive, and traditionally the quality of dancers varies quite a bit by day/time here, so expectations were low. Got a…

For those on foot in downtown, I would say don’t bother. Arrive sometime after 5pm and the last of the afternoon girls were finishing up. Brunette with a pension for 70’s agog-go…

Dropped by Mary's Club on a Friday night a couple weeks ago; they're open at theoretically partial capacity. Last time I was there, there was maybe 1 other guy in. This night,…

Hi people, This is my first time here ever. I decided to bike it because it was duch a nice day. The neighborhood is downtown so i was in…

Walking around Portland and it was starting to snow. I was tired and cold, and happened across Mary's Club. Went in basically just for warmth. Bartender was friendly enough, and a coke…

Went to Mary's after a long day in Portlandia. I had not been to this place in a long long time, but I was staying downtown and it was close.…

Mary's is my favorite club in Portland. There are other clubs with hotter girls and higher mileage dances but the laid back vibe at Mary's makes it a fun place to have…

This club is mostly known as a tourist attraction because I guess it's the oldest in the city? A friend took me here for a "Portland experience". Neither of us ended up…

We decided to visit this place because it is pretty close by to our hotel in downtown. Upon visiting, we were hustled by the bouncer, asking us to buy 1 drink minimum. Since…

I was in Portland on business, and drove by Mary's on my way to the hotel. I noted the location, and headed over there after I checked in. I walked in, and…

I've been to most of the PDX clubs, but surprisingly I had never been to Mary's. I always pass it on my way to work every day. It's certainly got tradition, it…

This is an interesting strip club to say the least. It is very "Portland" in vibe. There is definitely a goth, old school, alternative atmosphere in the club. There were only five…

I have never been to a Portland strip club so I wasn't sure what to expect but this didn't even come close to meeting expectations. Right outside the entrance I saw a…

I go to Mary's a lot. It has a chill atmosphere to grab a beer and not feel pressured for a dance. 2 - 4 dancers at any time, often…

What makes Mary's the best is just how casual and friendly it is while also having some really hot and talented dancers. They're not all top quality but there's always someone worth…

Never been to a Portland strip club, no I'm not sure how much is unique to this place. It was refreshing to find a place that is fully nude and serves…

Mary's club is one of the quintessential dive bars that double as a strip club in portland. The girls are very talented and the performance are nearly to the level of an…

I hadn't been in Mary's for many years, but walking back to my car I thought I'd stop in for a quick beer. The first thing I noticed was the security…

Dancers were friendly , not the hottest but their personalities made up for it. Bartender was extremely rude. She literally threw my change back at me even though I was nice and tipped…

So I had seen this place on "America's Best Bar's" show on the Esquire network.. so since it was my first time in Portland and I walked by this place, I had…

I just finished a stellar gig at the local arena in Portland, and my wife Jeannie had a headache from taking care of our 5 children while we're on tour. My father…

This is like an old-school burlesque place -- with full nudity. Don't expect extras. In fact don't expect to make physical contact with anything more erotic than a hand. However, if your expectations…

This was my second visit to Mary's, my first being several years ago. As in my previous visit, there were about 5 ladies in the club at the time I was there.…

Visited on a weeknight while in town for work. Had heard about the legacy of this place, and was right next to a bar I was at, so I figured I'd…

I visited this club purely for curiosity's sake. I know that Oregon doesn't have the most friendly laws regarding lap dances, and to me, those are generally one of the best parts…

I've been here several times before, but all on weekdays but there were only a few people there. Went here on a Saturday finally, it was packed, but not too packed,…

This is not a typical club anywhere, but it feels right at home in downtown Portland. It's been here forever and is just a part of the city's landscape. It's a chill…

This is a good place to go if you just want to stop in for a second and eat some food with a beer while watching some naked dancers and throwing down…

This club is too small to have fun in. I suppose you can do alright if you just wanna drink and be ignored. Or tip a lot at the front…

I always go past Mary's when I work downtown so when I was there a couple days ago I decided to go there for lunch. It is a pretty small place with…

Went with friends in the middle of the day. The sun was still up, that's how you know I've got a problem. This place is unique. I have been…

I visited this club on a Monday afternoon in September 2014 while in Portland on business. It is more like a neighborhood dive bar than a strip club, but I liked…

I like this club. It's not the newest, it doesn't have the best menu, doesn't have the best dancers (although some are very talented), doesn't have a DJ and only has one…

If you're coming for a wild club with drunk dancers everywhere and dancing bugging you for a dance, then this is not your spot. If you're looking to eat some good…

Solid, historic strip club. Not luxurious, not well decorated, but you can feel it's an institution the second you walk in. Girls are alternative types, tats, etc., but skilled on the pole.…

This was my first visit to a strip club so I cannot compare with other places. My SO and I wanted to visit such an establishment for some time, and the oldest…

Wow! My first Portland experience. So take it into consideration. This place was by our hotel so my buddies an I went to check it out. We had to go by some…

Visited Portland recently and thought I would combine a meal with some eye candy so stopped in Mary's as it said something like Dinning and dancers. The club is small, long…

I loves me some Mary's Club! Whenever I am in Portland, I stop in for a beer, some pleasant conversation, and an eyeful of some lovely local ladies doing what they…

Stopped here on a Monday evening around 7:30. Mary's is pretty small inside, with one raised stage. The dancers pick their own music off of a jukebox. This means…

You have to be in the right mood to visit this place and preferably with a group. It's an old-fashioned club and more like a cabaret nude dance club than a…

Was in Portland with a buddy and decided to try clubs we had never heard of. Mary's jumped out at us so it was the first…

Being in PDX, strip clubs are just another bar, there just happen to be (usually) beautiful women dancing. This is one of my top 3, mostly because I just feel at home…

So lets start with the dancers. There were 3 on rotation on a Saturday night which was disappointing to our group. We like to see a little variety. While…

Classic, yes. Chill, yes. Dive-y, yes. Tons of ladies there - and not I'm not talking about the dancers. Just in the audience. Which contributes to the mellow vibe. Dancing is fine.…

We had heard that Mary's was an iconic establishment and it might be but I don't see why. It really is just a dive bar with reasonable prices for beers.…

Mary's is a classic Portland dive bar that just happens to have some naked ladies in the corner. Often, people aren't even paying attention to them. Dancers tend to be the tattooed…

So I actually don't understand why this club gets as much attention as it does. I've been here. Always with some friends. It's a very small hole in the wall place in…

This club had a friendly atmosphere, a good place to hang our and chat with friends. There were only 2 dancers on shift and they were not the most attractive dancers imaginable,…

I walked in, and immediately felt uncomfortable. Place seemed dirty, one C List dancer on the stage just chatting with a patron(not dancing). Did not seem to care about anyone watching.…

not much of a club, apparently the origin of this club is the big draw, average prices beer, a taco sotre connected in the back for food, and heavily tattooed women on…

Sometimes change is a good thing but other things should always remain the same. Mary's is just such a place. A dark dank old dive where nothing has changed for millennia, including…

This club is right downtown in Portland. Must be one of the oldest clubs around. It's not much to look at inside. A bar, the rack along a small…

First time I've ever gone to the same club two nights in a row, but Mary's Club is unique, so I walked over for a while. Just like Friday night, two…

Heard Mary's Club was a classic. It was interesting. Two dancers, a stage right next to the bar. The jukebox provided the music and it was mounted up high…

This place is a classic and it is nice to stop in every now and again for a visit to a basic strip club without all the glitz; he'll, they even have…

Went to Mary's on a Monday night to start the tour of Portland strip clubs. Mary's is your typical dive bar. Small dirty space with limited dancers and a fullbar. The drinks…

Came here as the first stop on a bachelor party, around 8:00. I don't think we paid cover. The club is the size of a small cafe, and there is…

Mary's is a small club with a dive bar feel and cramped seating. There's never more than a few girls working at a time (of course, if there were more, where would…

I've been to Mary's a couple of more times since my original review (06/22/12). Both visits were on an early Friday, afternoon, between 12-2. In terms of the club itself, nothing's…

The Grandmother of PDX strip clubs, located right downtown on Broadway. The dancer quality isn't much, not sure any of these girls could get a job at the top flight clubs around…

Stopped in to Mary's Club after a meeting on a Thursday evening. Not the greatest part of town even though it is fairly close to the downtown sector. What was…

This is a cool place that does not feel like a strip club. There is a stage, with a dancer, she does eventually end up nude, but it's not the same.…

I guess you would say Mary's is a classic. Very small place with one, small stage for the dancers, and just a few chairs by the stage. It's up close and personal…

Apparently this is a historic strip club in downtown Portland, but I don't see how that matters to what you get from a visit. It's a small club with a small…

Went to Mary's today for the first time. I know it's supposed to be a classic/historic club, but somehow it just was never really on my 'must go' list. But…

This place is always going to spur debate because on one hand, it's the oldest and most historic club in Portland and on the other, it's tiny, dark, and divey. The latter…
