Safari

I've visited Safari in the past and was never very impressed. Recently I noticed the new management banner up and thought I would give it another shot.

There was no cover, but the bouncer working the door, I assume was having a bad night. When we walked in he was arguing with a couple younger guys and then proceeded to give me and my friend a hard time also. I don't even remember what it was about, it seemed like he just wanted to argue with someone.

The physical club doesn't seem to have changed much. There are pool tables that I don't remember, I think they are where LD's were performed in the past. The only real change I noticed was the LD area is now behind some curtains at the front of the club.

We made our way to bar to get drinks and it was very busy, we found a couple seats at the far end of the bar where we could survey the club. Seemed like most customers and dancers were hanging out at the bar or outside. Even with the bar being busy we were waited on very quick and the prices were good. After finishing the first drink we ordered more and headed to the lower area where the stages are. On this night there were 3 girls dancing at a time, 2 on big stages and one on a small stage off to the side. The 2 big stages only had 2-3 guys sitting at each stage. We sat at the stage in the middle of the room and received a lot of attention for tipping about $2-$3 a song. The dancers were mostly a good mix of ages and body type; I think all were the typical PDX dancer with piercings and tattoos. There was one dancer that I would rate a 7, a couple that would rate less than a 5, and all others were in the 5-6 range. I didn't get any dances and only saw a couple guys headed to the LD area, none stayed very long. A dancer did tell me dances were $40 or 3/$100 and another said she did 4/$100,
