There have been recent changes. For the better. More dancers. Pretty high quality dancers for the most part. 4 on duty before 4pm. More came on at 4 and I think only one left so there were probably more than 5 between 4 and 5pm. I think some of the day shift dancers leave at 5.

Music was essentially classic rock, not hip-hop. Daytime crowd and dancers were more like other clubs rather than like the neighborhood. Not just "more like" but "like." However, one dancer told me nights are still pretty sketchy.

Private dance area has been moved into the back/upper part of the club. At least two bright dance areas with sheer curtains. I'm guessing someone in the back could see into the dance cubibles but only dancers and staff are in that part of the club. The dance areas are private to the main part of the club. Dances are the standard $20 per song but with an extra $5 total to the bartender up front. I don't know how many dances that $5 would cover but I was told at least two. I tried one and it was way above average for Portland. Given the obvious lack of privacy, anyone should assume there are reasonable limits.
