Whoa! That's not an upgrade. Same skeeze, new prices

Things have changed somewhat since I wrote a review a couple of months ago, and some of the points other reviewers have made are accurate. Entertainer quality in clubs goes up and down in clubs all…

Stars Cabaret Bridgeport

Portland, OR

Light On Fun, Heavy On Upsell

★★★★★★★3.0/10

I'm used to pushy dancers, lousy service, and weak drinks, but they have to be over the top for it to actually ruin a visit at a strip club. Congratulations, Stars, you've hit it out…

Skin and Games

Portland, OR

Decent food, club layout, and service. The entertainment... not so much.

★★★★★★★★4.3/10

The title sums everything up, but here are more words to make it wordy: I think I might have arrived at the start of the closing shift, and either most the entertainers were late, or just…

Heat

Portland, OR

Ugh, scratch that off my bucket list

★★★★★★★2.7/10

This is a summary of a few visits over the last month. Heat is a sister bar to Club 205, with some of the same service staff working both clubs. The emphasis here is on…

★★★★★★★★5.0/10

While it's still small, the new venue for the club is an improvement over the cramped space the owners (same as Devil's Point, Sassy's, etc) took over on Hawthorne when it was Dino's, The exterior…

Casa Diablo II: Dusk til Dawn

Portland, OR

Not great, might be better in a couple of months

★★★★★★★3.0/10

After enjoying the usual food and boobs next door, my friends and I decided to check out "Johnny Diablo's" latest attempt to print money. The club is somewhat over-air-conditioned, unexpectedly brightly lit, clean, and arranged…

★★★★★★★★★7.0/10

Executive Summary: This is sometimes a great club, probably the best in Portland for what it attempts to do. However, you have to time your visit properly and should limit your expectations to burlesque entertainment.…

Executive Summary: If you're in Oregon City and don't feel like driving the extra twelve miles into Portland, this may be an attractive option for you, but not for me. As far as I could…

My man Huggy Bear done gave me word that the place had been sold, so I've been down on the street to dig the scene. Here's what's changed: - Drink Prices are slightly lower - No cover on…

It's the last week of existence for this Portland institution, so I thought I'd stop in and pay my respects. I haven't been in here for almost ten years, and not much has changed- it's…

Executive summary: All new ownership, management, employees, and contractors. What used to be a filthy, dimly lit underage club is now a filthy, brightly lit underage club. Whereas there used to be a couple of…

After a few years away, I've stopped in a few times over the last month and here's my summary: The place is still in passable shape. The sound system and rest of the venue are what…

Executive Summary: It's pretty clear no one working here gives a damn about my business, or probably yours for that matter. Fortunately for Portland Perverts, there are at least four dozen venues of similar nature…

★★★★★★★2.7/10

Other people have covered prices and service, so I'll focus on my impressions of other aspects of the club: From the outside, the Black Cauldron looks like a scandinavian barn, with the interior resembling a haunted…

★★★★★★★★5.3/10

Like others have said, it's a small neighborhood bar type of venue, just off Interstate 205 in Powellhurst. It also happens to be one of the half dozen east side clubs that's had at least…

The Boom Boom Room has two things going for it- the bouncers are still great and the people behind the bar mix a well poured drink. I wish I could say the same about the dancers…

I've been in here once every so often since it's opened, and nothing much has changed since the late 90's. I know some people love this place, but I've always found it boring and expensive.…

Stuff to like: I've had some of the best private dances I've ever had in Portland, and at a reasonable price no less. Even on weekday evenings, there's usually a couple of dozen contractors between 12…

While there are still a lot of great dancers here, the line up for the most part has gotten stale and hasn't been refreshed in a couple of years. I think the owner has stopped…

What a difference a couple of years makes. As it stands now, this is probably one of the best clubs in the entire city, and certainly the best one in downtown Portland. Service has improved from…
