Mary's Club Reviews

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 is why I like it and why pretty-boy white collar stiffs hate it. They have decent craft beers...

During the Holiday season I visited Mary's club while I was in Portland. The locals all raved about this place, but I really don't see why. It is a dark, dinky, depressing little dive bar in a lousy part of downtown. The bar can only about thirty...

Was in Portland for the weekend and we went to Mary's around 10 p.m. before hitting up some bars - it was on the way from our hotel. $2 cover. The place is pretty small and there were only 3 girls. It's basically a dive bar with naked girls dancing...

This is a dingy little bar in downtown Portland. It is such a life-sucking place, I don't know how the girls work there and why anyone goes there! The first thing that cheapens the experience is having to pay a $2 (or maybe it was $3) door charge....

While in Portland on vacation we opted to try out a few of the local strip clubs. With so many options available, where to start? We decided on the "historic" Mary's and found that moniker should be "seedy". The club itself is not just in an old...

Mary's Club is more of a historical landmark. The dancers put on very high quality stage shows. More burlesque than Vegas-style. A couple girls are ripped and look like they can be gymnasts. Atmosphere is friendly and more of a dive. Good place to go to hang with a buddy,...

Tuesday I found my self early for a meeting, and just down the street from Mary's Club, and decided to kill the time there. The club is small, with a single narrow stage along the wall that is almost an extension of the bar. This results in limited seating...

Mary's is somewhat of an institution (at least to people from the Portland area) as its reportedly the oldest currently operating place in town. Let me be clear: This is a classic dive bar...except they have live naked ladies! I don't mean this in a derogatory way,...

I was in downtown the other night with some business friends. We stopped in to Mary's club for a few hours at the end of the night. There was a $2 cover charge at the door. Overall seemed like a pretty cramped place. Seemed more like a bar with a...

This club has been around forever. It has the feel of an old dive bar that added dancers. Its saving grace is that the dancers know how to dance and they dance like they are having fun. Dancers choose their own music from the juke box and they dance to...

Was in town for business. Got into town ahead of some others from my company so I decided to hit the streets early and scope out the locations for our evening enjoyment. I stopped in to Mary's place. There were only 2 girls dancing in the just...

I found this place rather depressing and the staff very unwelcoming. Firstly there is an immediate demand for a cover charge, which is small at $2 but persued vigorously even at 9pm. There were few seats near the stage and the view from other seats wasn't great. ...

Tiny little club right downtown with three girls dancing each shift. Bar service can be slow. Dancers dance three songs on the little stage, which has a misplaced pole, ceiling mirrors, and a padded wall at the back. Girls are all over the place in terms of...

Was staying at a hotel a block away and happened across this nice little dive. Very small club which is essentially a small bar and seating area coupled with a small stage.
Beers were cheap and sat around for a few dancers while waiting for a friend. Nothing to write...

A very portland-y club. It's more of a neighborhood dive bar that happens to have strippers. If you're looking for lap dances from playboy bunnies, this definitely isn't the place for you. If you're looking for a place to grab a PBR, maybe have a conversation with...

Mary's Club is an alight joint. Admission is cheap, the bar staff is friendly, and I think there are no bouncers (who often ruin club experiences). But, the dancers I have seen there are generally not the most attractive or energetic. I don't expect every dancer to...

This place is very typical of most of the experience I have encountered downtown Portland. The club itself is on the small side. It feels kind of like an old run down neighborhood bar with naked girls walking around. The talent isn't top notch, but there is...

I stopped in here last week while on a trip during the day shift. Not much going on. Two dancers present that dance on a small stage and pick their on music from a jukebox that is located on the stage. The day I was there, it...

I went here during the day on a recent trip to Portland. In daylight at least, the neighborhood didn't seem as bad as indicated in some other reviews. The club itself was dingy and dark, without a lot of class, but certainly with character. Only about 4 other customers...

This place is a dump. It is located downtown in a seedy area. Which accounts for the clientele. Looked like most of them walked in off the street to get out of the rain. The girls didn't look much better. There was one cute brunette, but she only performed once...

This club is so Portland. It's really a parody of itself, at this point. There are unattractive girls dancing (some exceptions, of course), it's small and dark and smoky, and overall has a very blue-collar feel to it. Last night there were two girls dancing when I...

I don't really get this club, I have several friends that rave about this club. Been there several times. Other than the fact that there is a naked girl squeezed onto a very small stage in a very small bar, this place is like any other small dive...

Small place. Girls have to pay for the songs on the jukebox, no DJ. Drinks are reasonable. Lots of girls in the crowd. Seems like a place to go and drink after work as the bar was busy and a lot of people were hanging out...

Mary's first opened in 1965, and is Portland's oldest strip club. The customers range from street nuts to lesbians gone wild to men in suits.

The dancers tend to be on their last legs of their careers (if you can call being a stripper a career), but for the most...

Wow, this place has changed a lot. Not the actual look of the club, but the patrons. Instead of crusty old guys, it's now groups of frat-type guys and their girlfriends. There were almost as many women customers as men. I guess this is a place...
