Latest reviews from every source
This establishment has demonstrated an extreme failure in basic duty of care, operational safety, and crowd control. Our group has frequented this establishment numerous times, but a recent catastrophic failure by management and security has ensured we will never return. First, there is a severe deficit in patron safety and security oversight. The venue fails to monitor the space effectively, creating an environment…
Great environment Safe Friendly Good music Good Karaoke
I enjoyed the theme party. It was fun time.
I (F37)think I went too late at night. There weren't very many people. But I feel like the setup has a really good potential. The smoking area with the hot tub and just having a hot tubs in general might be a good way for someone who's really shy like me to start socializing in a place like that the restaurant looking area with the pool tables was a great idea to also include a more casual area to meet people. I thin…
You got to go in and try it out fun place to relax and unwind or let loose just not to loose place has rules and respect other people boundaries. Other then that please have some fun you will like it
My wife and I go here a few times a year. It has helped to keep our relationship sexually alive. It is super clean, it is super safe and not absurdly expensive.
I always have a fun time here. Lots of cool people to meet.
I ADORE this place; great staff, owner, bartenders, and fun themes. It’s the dive bar of sex clubs, which is 💯 Portland; I am as happy to land here for a drink and hang as I am for crazy sexcapades, because all are welcome and anything goes. Alas, had to take another star after seeing their latest audience grab themes…are you a club or game room? 👎🏼
