Reviews

It has been a few months since my visit but still wanted to put this review up to give an idea what this club is like in a covid world. I had heard this place had been redone the past couple years but did not see what it was like before the remodel. The decor of this place definitely shows they are trying to be a more upscale club as opposed to the typical dive bar atmosphere. Stage at the center of the club as you walk in with bar on your left. All seating had been removed around the stage due to covid. But still plenty of seating in the club, including seating not at the bar. A couple pockets of chairs and tables towards the back of the club by the lap dance area where you could talk to a girl without being right on top of everyone else in the club. Overall the club itself was clean and had a good atmosphere. Patrons and dancers generally kept their masks on except when at the bar with a drink. Now to the not amazing part, while I went on a Saturday afternoon there were only two dancers working there. Once I saw this I immediately knew I likely would not be staying very long, as I like to be able to see a decent lineup of girls. Of the two girls one was a chubby white girl, cute but not my speed. The other dancer was a very attractive black girl and worth coming back for at least in the looks department. The two were taking turns on stage despite there being no seating at the rack. After a bit I struck up a conversation with the attractive girl and at first was waited $350 for a half hour in the VIP. At that point I thought for sure it would be a short visit. But then was told 3 for $100 muse dances and 2 for $40 topless dances. I took the 2 for 40 dances and we headed back to the lap dance area. Lap dance area was very dark with curtains separating the booths but curtains did not go all the way to the floor to where you could see the shoes of someone at the other end. Was not a big deal on this day but could be an issue on a busier day. Overall I would be back due to the atmosphere of the club itself and the tal ticket low prices of the topless dances. But not worth it we’re it not for the one dancer, so could be a hit or miss location depending on how many girls they have working at a time.

I’ve been to this club twice now in the past month, mainly looking for a particular dancer, K. She was there the second visit, so that Is what this review will cover. Oasis is located right on Division Street, with easy access to free parking behind the building. Exterior of the building is bland, you’d hardly know there was a club there. In the evening you will be met by a bouncer at the door, but he was quite friendly and there was no entrance fee. The interior of the club was quite clean, with a fairly long bar and a long stage. There was a lap dance area at the far end of the club, but I couldn’t tell you how private they are. I had a diet cola for $3. There were at least 5 dancers on duty, all but one slim and white. The other was a slim AA. The dancer I came for was there and we discussed dance prices. I was quoted $30 each, 3 for $100 in a more private area, and $250 for a 1/2 hour in the very private Champagne room behind the stage. I was told the Champagne room was the only one without cameras, but I have a feeling that was part of the sales pitch. I chose that option and the dance was very, very fun with no interruptions. Overall, I would come back here, but it wasn’t so spectacular that I’d make it a regular stop, especially since I think my dancer has since moved on.

The former Spearmint Rhino club is now named Grind. It's definitely one of the best looking clubs in the Portland area with a sleek bar, nice chairs & tables, high quality stages, but it feels completely out of place in this neighborhood. The dancers on my first visit this afternoon were just average or maybe a bit above average, but there were few customers so the overall mood was not energetic. Perhaps it would be better at night or on a weekend. I did not try any private dances on this visit, but might give them a try on my next visit if any girls catch my eye.

My wife and I had heard that Portland was the Strip Club Capital of the world, so we decided to give it a try. We decided to go with the Rhino, not based on reviews but more on familiarity. Figured at the very least it would have the same decor and vibe as the other Spearmint Rhinos we've been to. And this was true. Same leather couches and pictures on the wall. With that being said, it's a pretty big stretch to get out there. We took an uber from downtown which took about 40 minutes. I can't say that it was worth it compared to the other clubs in the area. Only because we didn't visit many others. But it definitely was a trip. We arrived and the club was crowded. Lots of dancers. The music wasn't eh, but hey. It's Portland. We were approached by a few different dancers. All friendly. Got a couples dance from a very sweet stripper. Unfortunately can't remember her name (too many drinks) but she treated us right and my wife liked her. Chatted us up in the beginning and made the night fun during the dance itself. All in all, I'd recommend. But do your research on Portland as a whole.

Stopped in at Spearmint Rhino late one Sunday night with a friend who wanted to check out the club. Previous experience had taught me that there wouldn't be much going on, and there wasn't. The club itself is very nice inside, one of the nicest east of I-205. There's a bar (natch), lottery machines, one stage and two lap dance areas. One of lap areas is supposed to be nude and one topless, but I've seen girls get nude in the topless only area and girls leave the panties on in the nude area. Your best bet is probably to try to find a girl who will bend the rules in the topless area. That shouldn't be difficult because this place is consistently among the most dead clubs I've been to in Portland. On the other hand, if you're a visual sort of guy you should know that the topless dance area is so dark you won't see much of anything. When I arrived there were five or six girls on shift. All of them appeared to be bored out of their skulls and being ignored by the few customers in the club. Most were typical for Portland: thin and white. There was also one chunky white girl and one cute AA spinner. Since customers were mostly ignoring the stage, the girls spent a lot of time teaching each other pole tricks. The DJ was bored too. He spent most of the time I was there going around to customers asking for song requests. I have seen this club busy and jumping on Friday and Saturday nights, but I don't think I've ever seen it lively at any other time. Drink and dance prices are typical for Portland, so if there happens to be a dancer here that you like you can get a lot of attention at a reasonable price. On the other hand if you like a party atmosphere, this club is probably not for you (except on weekend evenings....maybe).

I was out on the town and decided it was finally time to see if the Rhino in Portland lived up to it's LA counterpart. Turns out no...only the name is the same. This location used to be Wild Orchid. It looked familiar right when I walked in. They hadn't changed a thing besides the name on the door. There is one stage in the middle of the small place. A lot of hot women for sure but not the Rhino I know and love. I had been there 2min before a dancer sat next to me. I knew she just wanted a dance so I cut to the chase. She tells me it's 25 for topless and 35 for nude. We head to the lap dance area which is just a wall of stiff seats that leave barely any room for her to dance. Honestly paying for nude is pointless because there is no angle she can show you her pussy even if she wanted to. She had mentioned another area for dances but the only difference was you paid more upfront for more dances. If you know other Rhinos, they have a decently semi-private nude lap dance area and then you can upgrade to VIP for 60/song. That has full beds and you are left 100% alone...to do whatever you wish. Tons of high mileage. The bouncer dude watching over the rooms just yells at the dancer to ask if we plan to continue...he never comes inside. All in all this place is no different from any other Portland strip club. Unless you live 5min from it, there is zero reason to drive to this remote location.

Beautiful club with beautiful dancers! Great variety as well. Staff was top notch all around, from bar staff to bouncers. Everyone was on top of their game. Dancers seemed friendly and engaged. A little disappointed that they don't offer much as far as food goes, bare minimum required for Oregon laws it seems, and the bartender has to cook it, which takes away from the bar. Had to wait a few times as they were back in kitchen cooking. Not a huge deal as it was a pretty short wait, but still a small annoyance nonetheless. Luckily I had a pretty girl to keep me distracted! Will definitely be back.

I decided to head east on this evening to try a few clubs I rarely visit. First stop was Spearmint Rhino. Looks like a dive from the outside but is really nice on the inside. Patted down at the door for weapons. Ordered a drink, went to the stage. I suppose it was sort of early so I was the only guy at the rack for much of my time there. 5 or 6 dancers, all nice & friendly, all flirty during their set, all body types. A couple asked about privates but I felt like hanging out at the stage. Eventually started chatting with a very pretty woman named Melody. She gave me the scoop on dances there; $25 per song topless, $40 nude and some other time oriented arrangement that probably works out to 3 for $100. If I had more time I might have gone back for a few PDs but not this evening. I finished up my drink and headed to the next far east side club. Rhino was good, not sure I'd drive out there unless I am meeting a dancer I know. No cover, 5-6 video poker machines.

A good mix of white, black and latino girls. One stunner who unfortunately went off shift right after I got there Decent looking place with video poker on the side, a long bar and center stage. Fast girl rotation so they are each dancing on the main stage for about 3 songs then they chat up the tippers or offer private per song dances, or a 15 minute "VIP" dance in a darker more secluded area. Got a couple of dances and they were both nothing to write home about. One girl was pretty hands off and pushy about additional dances. It was pretty dead when I was there at about 1030pm or so and I wish I hadn't gone for that first private dance as that was a waste. Missed a incredibly hot young black girl with an amazing body and face. Would have considered a VIP dance with her if she had stuck around. Probably much better on the weekend I would think.

Back in Portland for a week! Time to try one of the new places that's opened since I used to live there. Looks like the Spearmint Rhino came to Portland trying to build off their Vegas name. It seems like a good idea on paper, but the location they chose leaves a lot to be desired. This isn't the worst part of Portland, but it isn't the best either. I was there in the evening, from about 7-8:30, and I'm not sure I'd want to be out there around midnight. The interior is a lot better than the old place that used to be there, whatever it was (I drove by it every day for years and now I can't recall the name!). There were about 6 dancers working, most of which were at least a 6, with the usual Portland tattoos and piercings. I spoke with a tall blond for a while at the rack who gave me a decent lap dance, but overall seemed uninterested. It was getting dark so I decided to get out before it got too sketchy around there. An okay club at best, but a better location would have made it a lot better.

The Spearmint Rhino chain always wants to be upscale which leads me to wonder why they would open one not only in Portland but in a rough area of Portland. It seems completely out of place. This is a club with a full bar and fully nude like the rest of Portland OR. After a certain hour the DJ mainly plays rap which again, seemed out of place for Portland. There was a mixed crowd and seemed to be a lot of couples. I got the impression it was more of a "hang out" for some people than a strip club. The girls can charge their own prices for private dances but you're mainly looking at anywhere from 20-30 dollars for a single dance. They have a private VIP area for time slots but I didn't partake so I'm not sure what the prices are for those or the rules but I believe it's the same deal, the girls pick their own prices so you're looking at a variety of different rules and prices. The stage is kind of small with a tall but too thick pole in the center of it. The girls were pretty for the most part. There were some girls with the typical tatted up alternative Portland look but for the most part there were a wider variety. There were mostly white girls though with a couple of black girls thrown in. This club is okay for the most part but seems a little out of place for "Portland' like it belongs somewhere else. I'm not sure how long it will be open.

I had to visit the Pacific NW for work, so I opted to visit the closest club to my hotel. Yes, I rolled the dice and figured I might as well try the Spearmint Rhino. On the drive in, I knew this would be different. The Rhino is in a basic warehouse like building. When I walked in, I noticed the bar on the left and the stage right in the middle of the room. In the back, you had some private areas for private dances. There were two, maybe three girls working when I got there. I grabbed a beer and decided to tip a tall blonde from AL named Jenna. I gave her a few $, and she was very handsy. Since I was the only one paying her attention, she rubbed on me. After she wrapped up her dances, she came over and asked if I would like some private dances. The dance prices are ridiculous. She offered $40 per dance out on the floor, or 3 for $100 in the back. Going against my better judgement, I decided to head towards the back. She gave average dances with low mileage. I thought to myself, "I'm really spoiled in Atlanta. Why would I ever cheat on Follies?" After the three dances, I thanked her and decided to call it a night. Frankly, I'm not sure clubbing near Portland is worth it. If I come back, I'll definitely think twice about whether or not I hit up a club.
