Only Club In Town - Bend...
Only Club In Town - Bend is a Great Town, and Stars is Worthy of a Stop while Passing Through or on Vacation - Not a Place I'd be Stoked on to be a Regular Custy Though I get to Bend about once a year to see friends (Bend is a great town, tons of breweries, cool people, the mountain biking is amazing-this place is Disneyland for mountain bikes if you know where to ride, and the snowboarding is great when Mt. Bachelor has powder). The friends I stay with don't club and I sneak away for an 11 PM to 2 AM shift once per trip, usually on a Saturday or Sunday, so this review is for the occasional weekend night experience. The girls are 6's to 8's. I'm pleasantly surprised with the quality of the talent in light of Bend being a small town - 75,000 people, and entire county's population is only 175.,000. (I club in SF Bay Area and occasionally in SoCal, and there's always hot girls at the right places because the talent derives from such populated areas.) It must be weird to be a dancer in an area where the opportunity for anonymity can't be great. There's a lap dance room to the right of the front door that has several chairs - there's no real privacy and the bouncers cruise by more frequently than anyone would like. The mileage here is low. Most reviewers will say it's all air dances all the time and that can be true, but if the girl takes a liking to you, decent touching is achievable in the private dances (it helps to be fun or at least act like it). The right girl will watch for the bouncers, shield you from sight, and say OK go for it. Can't remember her name, but she is the 5'7" voluptuous blonde with large spectacular naturals - if she were at a club in SF I'd seek her out. The one to not get suckered by is the hot, short skinny blonde who will sidle up next to you at the rail and through vigorous flirtation encourage you mightily to spray the stage with your handful $1 bills. She is management - don't be suckered. Side entertainment of the evening was the dude at stage gesturing with hands throughout the songs like he's a rap star. Sorry pal, you're not OG and the silly display was not increasing the level of female attention.

Stars, Bend 4-21-17 visit.
I've visited this club many times over the years, primarily because there is no other choice in Central Oregon. Older building with run down exterior and dated interior. It is kept very clean indoors. Hours start at 11:00a.m. Mon-Sat and 4:00p.m. Sun. Video gaming is available. Two different areas for private dances, one more private than the other, but cameras everywhere. Shower show area, but I've never seen anyone use it. Numerous TV screens around the main area of the club, usually running various sports shows. Pretty good liquor, tap and bottle beer selection at reasonable prices. Food in the evening is outstanding. They have a chef, who just completed culinary school, and he is amazing. Cover charge starting early evening is a bit stiff. I want to say it was $6-$8 maybe based on the day, but would have to confirm. Bar staff and cocktail waitresses are very friendly and talkative. Music is combination auto DJ and live DJ and usually very good selection of songs that aren't abbreviated. Now for the entertainment. I normally go early afternoons. This is where this club is severely lacking. Frequently have been greeted with an empty club and the bartender with not a single dancer to be found. Sometimes one girl at 2:00p.m. and maybe one or two more showing up at 4:00p.m. It's pretty remarkable how few new faces ever appear in the afternoon. Same faces for years, with a couple in there forties and fifties, nice and friendly, but come on, this is supposed to be a strip club. Private dances run $25 in the area near the DJ booth and $45 in the back. I've asked about mileage a couple of times and the dancers admit there is really not much of a difference with the exception of maybe a little boob rubbing on your face. Touching is not permitted except for arms and thighs down. As mentioned before, cameras everywhere and in the evening, bouncers hover over the private dance area. Depending on the dancer, maybe a brush of the leg against your lap, but that's about it. I remember talking to a guy visiting from PDX, who has a lot of club experience, and he said the Stars in Bend is the most conservative club in Oregon. Evenings offer more dancers and the quality goes up, but the mileage doesn't change. Also, confirm the price of a private dance as I've personally been upsold on more than one occasion. I'm not exactly sure why, I believe Bend is pretty conservative in a lot of ways and they have to be careful for fear of LE repercussions. The Fan in Redmond, when it was open, was a lot more liberal. For that matter, the Salem Stars has more contact, but still not as much as some of the Portland clubs have to over. Would love to see another club come to Central Oregon, but outside of Deschutes County. All you guys on the west side of the Cascades, thank your lucky Stars!
Meh. Umatilla has a better club.
The club has a sign on the road and shares a building with an Adult Store. The club entrance is on the south side of the building and not well marked. Once inside, you walk right to the restrooms, or left to the stage and bar. No girls were dancing when I entered, so I pulled up a stool to the bar. The bartender (blonde, thick, but not fat) asked me what I wanted and I told her I was hungry. She gave me a menu and I ordered the $5 chicken strips and fries as well as a tap. They had a small selection of bourbon, so I ordered a beer. I noticed she was also the DJ and the cook. There were two dancers: an older, thin lady with bolt-ons and a younger, all-natural AA. Neither was dancing and they said they were waiting for customers. After a few minutes, the crowd grew from two to five and the AA got up to dance. They had constant problems getting the electronic DJ to work, but everyone seemed to understand that they weren't going to make any money at the stage anyway. I ate my chicken and fries, which were hot and excellent for $5. When the AA finished her two songs, she disappeared to the dressing room. I wanted to talk to her and waited till she came out about 10 minutes later. I hoped she would talk to me, but instead she pulled out one of those cat-hair removal rollers and began to roll her whole wardrobe. Since the bartender wasn't much for conversation (the patrons were trying!), I left. I noticed one man came, ordered a beer, took a sip and left a dollar before leaving within 2 minutes. I would not come unless I were in Bend. If Portland is within an hour or two of Bend, I would take the extra time and visit one of the Portland clubs.
