The most recent owner (Sassy's, Dante's, Devil's Point) has done a nice job of taking a cursed location and turning it into one of the best strip joints in Portland. (Over the last decade, it's been a strip bar catering to the brothers, a strip bar catering to our friends who've recently migrated north of the Rio Grande, and the gayest strip joint in the Northwest). As far as I'm concerned, this is pretty much everything that's good about the local strip bar scene, with no gumbas, no gangstas, and no meth/heroin addicts. Five dancers on shift at night, check their myspace blog for weekly updates.

On the fence: Most strippers have metal and ink- not a fan personally, but some people consider it a plus, If you're thinking of coming here for a lapdance, this is not the place

Stuff not to like: getting into the lot off Powell can be a real pain
