After reading reviews on this place,...

After reading reviews on this place, I decided to drop in while on a recent business trip to Portland. I got there at 4pm (opening time) on a Tuesday, so my expectations were not high. I walked in looking for a beer and noticed the size of the place. The stage is probably about 20-feet long ringed with chairs and located in the center of the place. No cover charge. The place was well lit because one side of the building is all windows. Because of the lighting there was very little left to the imagination. The first dancer was probably a very nice looking woman in her day, and still had an attractive figure for her age. Unfortunately she had some major dental problems, I suspect from using too much meth. She was very nice and an energetic dancer.

The next gal up was much younger with a nice figure but the 6-inch pair of black widows tattooed above her breasts was a little dark and a little distracting. (As you can read from other reviews tattoos and piercings are the norm here). I sat at the tipping rail, with the daylight blazing away over my shoulder and she provided an explicit show about four-inches from my face (close enough to make me go cross-eyed for a minute). She asked if I wanted to go for the private dance, which I accepted. The private dance area, is full nude. 1 dance for $35 or 3 for $100. Contact was one way. I made one big mistake. I came in with a dark suit on. After four or five minutes of her rubbing herself on me it was clear the suit was going to have to go to the cleaners when this was all over.

There were several other dancers lined up ready to go. The bartender was very nice. After one private dance it was time for me to get cleaned up and get back on the road. Overall, this was an interesting place and a nice diversion for a few minutes but not my cup of tea.
