I think this has become my go-to-club. Other posters here have said this is more of a neighborhood bar than strip joint. I agree. And I love that it is more of a neighborhood bar than a club full of 8,9, and 10s - young girls, who while thin and good looking, do not know how to carry a conversation when not on their cell phone or Facebook. Everyone here knows where to find those types of clubs in Portland.

I go to this club because 1) I don't feel like I'll be shot like in some other clubs on the east side 2) I don't feel like I'm getting hustled 3) I generally can have good to great conversations and 4) yes, I like more mature dancers in their 30s or even 40s - and this club has more of this type of lady than others - who don't have hang ups about being touched.

I'm not the best looking guy, but I take a shower, wear nice clothes and wear some cologne when I go here. And I love that the ladies here some sweet and can talk. Why does this all matter? Because I've rarely been disappointed with the lap dances here from different gals. While not getting into a lot of details and identifying who exactly they are, the ladies I've received lap dances from have left me quite happy and relieved from the stress of work. The ladies appreciate a clean cut guy who smells nice like me, and because I can talk to them, I build some trust and rapport that I get really great lap dances. I've been told I get a little more than other customers but who knows. I'm happy at the end of the dances. And at $25 for the first dance, and then $20 for the rest of the dances, the value is great compared to other clubs in Portland.

What have I gotten for my money? Mutual touching and light French kissing are the baseline. YMMV, but my experiences have been on the higher end. I didn't get a GFE, but... I don't need that either to get off and I've gotten more here than other clubs.

Somehow, I've connected with the ladies here, and I very much intend to be back this holiday weekend to blow some steam.
