Porthole Pub

So this was my dive bar strip club for years when I lived in Miami. I always liked the staff. They always had at least 4 to 6 non Cuban Latina women there a decade ago. Also had a few hot Caribbean girls. Definitely not like that now went from 2 to 3 to 1 or 2 to none now. They were the diamonds in the rough along with a few Caribbean women. Always liked the people that went there. It was always a good vibe. I go this past Saturday for the first time in awhile and what a…

In continuing my recent kick of hitting up the lower end clubs in the area, I made a few trips to Porthole. I had to pick a day, so I picked Saturday but this review covers a couple of visits in the mid to late afternoon, arriving around 3-6 and leaving 4-8 or so. The location is easy to find, in a shopping center. There is a large parking lot but it can be packed and people are kinda haphazard to assholeish in their parking and driving. No charge to park during the day, no valet available much…

This review is for Sunday afternoon in April. I believe place opens at 1130 or 12 and I arrived at 1230 and stayed for about an hour or so. Will not go over layout or location as that has been done. Briefly - it is in a strip mall, with a parking lot, parking can be tough at night as the lot fills up, but during the day and on a Sunday there was ample parking on hand. I have been here several times before, but not for a few months and not much has changed. Walked in and…

It's been over a year since I've been in the Porthole. I try to make it whenever I'm in town, which is usually every winter/early spring. Last year when I visited, they were in the midst of a renovation, with port-a-john's located outside, and it was difficult to determine exactly what the end result would look like. This year, I was pleasantly surprised to see the result. Initially upon entry, a patron's eyes must adjust to the darkness inside, making it easy to stumble and become slightly disoriented for 30 seconds. Alas, this hasn't changed, but it…

My first visit to Porthole Pub. I left Cheetah's just before they close at 2AM and saw that the Pub is open till 3AM so decided to see what I'm missing. Found an open spot in the stripmall parking lot (no charge). Quick check by the bouncer outside and $20 at the door. The space inside is fairly small. A large rectangular bar right as you walk in with some high tops at the far end and a 2-pole stage to the left with low seats around it including a few couches that could be put to good use as…

I have read a few reviews that described it as dark and smokey and know there are a few Pompano bars that still do smoking inside. Thanks

Went to Port hole on Wednesday,7/20, arrived 7:05 PM, they're collecting entrance fee from 7PM now it's $10 entry, talent sucked, and I've never had an issue here before, but finally after seeing a dancer that wasn't totally ugly, maybe a 6, but she was a fun conversationalist, the dancer in cahoots with the chunky floor guy tried to rip me off for $20, after we did 4 dances I gave her $100 chunky floor guy tried to rip me off after doing 4 dances gave her $100 dollars and as I left they started in that I owed them…

Porthole Club Update: ------------------------------ Post my 2nd-Pfizer-shot in late April and waiting the recommended 2-weeks post-vax, I made the rounds to some of the dives that used to be in my club-rotation after not having clubbed in over a year – prior to Covid I had been kinda burned-out w/ SCing but was curious to see the state of my old clubs after a year+ away – as w/ many clubs, the clubs on my rotation were not quite up to pre-Covid levels but some were better than others – after having done the rounds of my old clubs for a few…
