Used to be great, still not bad, but there are better places in Portland now.

I come to this club about once or twice a year when I am in town for business and stay part of the weekend, and have been coming to this club here since it opened years ago. I most recently went there on a Friday night. The club is medium small, and is usually packed on a Friday night, but it was less packed this last Friday than any Friday I had been there before. There are typically 20 to 30 dancers. Historically this has been about 70 % white, about 25 % Latina or Asian and abut 5 % AA.

There is a big stage with two ends for two dancers in the club center that you see immediately as you walk in. There is a bar at the back of the club. Drinks are expensive and there is always a long line. Waitresses (always hot) will eventually get to you, but don’t expect immediate service. No one will hassle you if you do not order a drink, which I never do, so I do not know the drink prices. As you come in, there are a couple of very small stages against the wall that are not really stages but places where the girls under 21 hang out because they are not allowed to roam around the club, only between the small stages, the big stage, and the back room where lap dances take place. If you want dances from the under 21 girls, you either half to make arrangements while they are on the main stage or approach them on the mini stages. On my last visit, I got one lame dance from one of the under 21 girls, and approached another under 21 girl and she refused to give me a dance. In all of the strip clubs I have been to over many years, this is one of the few times where a dancer has actually said no they will not give me a dance at all. Other girls did give me excellent dances.

Dances here are more expensive than most strip clubs in Portland, $40 or $50 for one dance, or three for $120, or half hour for $360 to $400. Most girls will insist on a tip after, and I usually give $20 after a three song lap dance set. In the past, they have been able to charge a little more for lap dances than most other clubs in Portland because the dancers have been hotter than average at most other clubs. They are no longer hotter than the other large clubs in town, and maybe even a little less hot. The waist sizes of the girls have slowly gotten larger over the last few years, and is now rather large. I think less than half of the current lineup would have been able to make the lineup at all three years ago. There are still some hot fit girls, but only 20 or 25%, which is about the same as all the other big clubs in the Portland area. I will not be going there in future visits to Portland because there is no reason to pay the upscale prices without the upscale girls.
