While we're in a low time for strip clubs it's the golden age for Asian massage parlors. At least where I live since Covid the number of parlors has more than doubled. All the new parlors are offering FS forcing the pre Covid parlors to follow or lose their customers. We've also gone from only 50+ year old women in the parlors to most being in their 20's or 30's.

Where I live in Everett Washington we used to have a couple clubs but they're all long gone. Washington is about to finally allow liquor in the clubs so I'm hoping that will lure some clubs to open. We currently have a couple restaurants and bars that closed down during Covid that would be perfect for a club.

Bad location for a Chick Fil A. There's not enough room in that parking lot for a 20+ car drive through line.

Drove by and their sign was advertising the $10 cover. If I read it correctly it looks like it's Wednesday before 11pm or something like that. I didn't get the best look since I was driving and didn't want to rear end the car in front of me

$60 for no touching is ridiculous even by Portland standards. Get out of Downtown and drive east to DV8, 205, The Venue, and/or Cabaret 2. DV8 and 205 have hot ladies who will give legal dances with touching for $40 or 3 for 100. The Venue as well but some will do more than is legal, and Cabaret 2 you can get a hot Cuban girl for 2 songs for $60....all 4 places those prices are for fully nude dances.

@ dppethinker. Mileage can be had at LCV but it's less of a sure thing and will probably cost you more than the independent clubs. It used to be the club to go to if you wanted to watch hot young hardbodies on stage but since covid they all left. Every trip I've made since reopening after covid I've found fewer hot dancers than Pandoras

Most of this review sounds about right beside the lap dance prices. $20 lap dances haven't been available anywhere in Portland since Shimmers became Trophy's and even then it was rare. $40 is pretty much the minimum.
@ Techman Fully nude on stage unless things have changed since my last visit a few years ago. There is no VIP in the club which the OP did point out at the start of the review.

DV8 is a really good club to watch the stage show if you go in a little later.

Something I've noticed is while strip clubs have been declining AMPs have exploded. Since Covid the number of dancers and customers have been cut in half while the number of AMPs have more than doubled.
The reason for this I think is pretty easy to figure out. Inflation has hit strip clubs hard. Pre covid lap dances where I live averaged $30 a song with $20 a song being possible at certain clubs. Now it's $40-50 a song. Amps on the other hand pre covid it was $200 for FS, today it's still $200 for FS.
At the same time the dancer quality in the strip clubs has gone way down. Most haven't taken off the extra weight they put on during the lockdowns. AMPs on the other hand while not universal have gotten younger and better looking ladies than they did pre covid.
I'm not paying $50 a song from a 4 when I can get a BBBJ/CFS from an 8 For $200 just down the street.
I still go but I mostly just tip the stage these days. Even that though most of the strippers these days don't motivate me to leave the bar for the rack. I really don't need a close up look at a dancer that's 50+ pounds overweight.

@ Book Guy. Most of the AMP's where I live still have grandmas working. It's just been in the last 6 months or so we've gotten 3 new places that are absolutely amazing. Under 30, spinners or at least HWP that actually look like the ladies in the ads, willing to provide BBBJCIM and CFS for the AMP standard $200 total that all the grandmas charge. The only downside is they're VERY busy. It's not uncommon for 6+ guys to walk through the door during a visit and they only have 4 ladies working. they've actually started doing BJ's in the lobby if a guy isn't concerned about being seen by another dude finishing up. With how busy they are and how open about their activities they are I can't imagine the good times will last long.

This is one of the thing I love about Portland Oregon. It's about a 3 hour drive for me to get there but I make the drive a couple times a year. There's something like 50 clubs in the city and with that many clubs some have naturally started catering to specific tastes. You've got clubs that almost exclusively attract overweight dancers, some that attract spinners, some black, some Latina, some more natural, some heavily tatted up, and so on. I don't think the clubs set out to do this themselves but word got out that if you have X look Y club will have customers who like your look.

In Washington state the fat dancers are the most popular ones. they're popular because they'll suck and fuck in the VIP for around $300. I personally don't go there but many do. I'd rather pay $200 at one of our new AMP's that have opened up with young hot spinners than pay $300 for a land whale. I go to strip clubs more to watch the show, maybe buy a couple legal dances to get me in the mood before going to one of the AMP's to cap off the night.

The only Democrat I've seen that I'd call hot is Tulsi Gabbard and she isn't even a Democrat anymore.

Did they go fully nude on stage? My last visit (the last review before yours) none took their bottoms off on stage.

Thank you for the review. I'm planning on doing a little road trip to Springfield myself in about a month. Might stop here to stretch the legs for an hour or so but there's zero chance I'll be paying $50 a dance, especially if I have to sit on my hands lol

Thanks for the amazing review. It's been a few years since I've been to this part of town and it sounds like things have changed quite a bit. Last time I was here there was a fairly large homeless camp about a block away, the dancers were more GND, and Union Jacks had the more alternative/goth dancers

I miss the days when you could get dances here for under $30 and the dancers could get away with more. I remember my first trip here around 7 years ago meeting a cute 5 foot nothing athletic 22 year old who only charged $20 a dance. She only did legal dances but being athletic her grind was good enough to get the job done in just a couple songs. Pretty sure she only worked here because they let her drink as much as she wanted and she was absolutely smashed every time I saw her lol.

Rogue is a great club if you just want to tip the stage on a Friday or Saturday night. It's not really a club worth visiting during the week, during the day, or for getting dances. At least that's my opinion.

"Dancers outside encourage people to enter the coral pink building and spend their money on a hot August night"
I'd take one look at those dancers and nope, I'm not entering that club.

The biggest threat to strip clubs atm is their lack of value. Where I live just north of Seattle the clubs all want $20+ for cover, $40+ for a regular dance, $300+ for extras if they're fat, and $500+ if they're actually decent looking
Within 5 miles from my house there's probably 50 Asian massage parlors, 80% of which an hour with FS for $200. Better yet there's even one where all the ladies are under 30, thin, and offer full GFE including BBBJCIM for the same rate.
Why would a pay $350 or more for 15 minutes with an overweight 40 year old when I can have an hour with a 24 year old spinner who will let me do a lot more?
I pretty much just go to clubs for the eye candy before stopping by my favorite AMP these days. Better service from a better looking women for half the price or less

@ArtCollege As with most dancers their stage should give you a pretty good idea of their skills. If they're young and hot you can't expect high mileage but this club isn't exactly known for that anyway. If they're sensual on stage they'll probably be the same in the back

There's far too many clubs in Portland to stick around at a club with no hot dancers and low milage. If it's not a club known for having good looking dancers I'll typically give the room a good look around before buying a drink. If I don't see anything I like I just leave and head to the next club.

Your Uber driver must get a kickback from the club or something. I've never once heard anyone say this club is high milage. Even the $700 VIP from what I hear is more just a jack shack. You could get 3 and a half 1 hour FS trips to an AMP for what they want for 15 minutes of self service here lol

Ended up stopping by Dream Girls Sat night. In short yup, it's still a joke. Wrote a review that should be posted by tomorrow.
