This place hasn't been reviewed in...

This place hasn't been reviewed in a while and it needs some love. Full disclosure: this probably one of the most boring clubs to be in I've seen in Portland. It's not bad by any means, just "meh" for most everything. There are good times to be had here though, because most of the rest of what 505 has to offer is at least slightly above average, and in a certain case, a hidden gem.

So, the place is pretty much a dive bar with stripper poles, like a lot of places. Here however is at least clean. The bar staff is one of the friendliest and least intimidating I've ever seen. The bar is fully lit, and has stools with a single tv playing whatever sport is deemed important for the day. The rest of the club is two stages surrounded by chairs and a pool table where you might expect a third stage. I've never seen more than five guys in here at once, but I've also never been at night or during the evening. It's the farthest east club in the Portland area, so if you're not in the area you'd never make a trip out to see it, except for maybe one reason, which I'll get to in a moment.

Now, for why you come here. The girls are all the friendliest, down to earth in Portland. You'd have trouble figuring out they're strippers if they weren't half-naked. The management is apparently wonderfully helpful to the dancers, so they like it there despite it not being too fantastic a place. They all definitely provide a good experience at the rack too, probably due to lack of customers. The private dance area is one of the most pitiful I've ever seen in a strip club. A corner of the room is curtained off with beads and it has a sofa chair. It's the most ridiculous dance area possibly ever, but I've been to it a few times because you take what you can get.
