Casa Diablo Vegan Strip Club

This place was fantastic! I went with my wife for her birthday and they were great, the dancers were friendly and not pushy. They asked consent which I usually don't care about but in that setting when they touch or put themselves on you it is very respectful of them to ask. Very sexy talented dancers that sat with us for casual conversation. We highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have the experience.

First time at a strip club and couldn't have chosen a better spot. Arrived with about a 12 guy bachelor's party group and we all enjoyed our time. All of the dancers were talented and beautiful and all brought they're unique look and vibe to the stage. They were all extremely kind to our groom-to-be and as a first timer, I felt completely comfortable and left spending about 150 total for the 1-2 hours which I thought was fair. Will always be a stop for me anytime I'm in Portland! Gonna try the food next time!

This is one of my favorite strip clubs in Portland. They have delicious, reasonably-priced vegan food. The drink selection is wonderful. The women are beautiful and friendly. The vibe is very chill. I used to come here a lot and I plan on coming here much more in the future. There is a spacious cozy patio out back where you can smoke if you want.

A dancer came up to me demanding that I pay her because I looked at her. She threatened to kick me out even though i was laying down money in the front of the floor. She walked away saying she was getting security only to walk to the other side of the floor to stand there looking for other patrons. Definitely ruined my vibe that night.

So I went to Portland for my bachelor party and this place was my first stop and it did not disappoint. Over all the cover was not bad especially compared to over clubs. I don't exactly remember the amount but I believe it was 6-8 dollars. The average cover I found throughout the rest of Portland was about 5 to 10 and a few places that charged 20. As for the prices for private lab dances I found them to be clearly started on the wall so there was no surprises. The place reminds me of a mix between a dive bar and lounge. The music was a little loud and the songs where not exactly my speed but that's not exactly a problem. There was I believe a 2 drink minimum but lets be honest here that's not hard to achieve if you plan to spend a few hours here. From what I could tell the lady's were ethnically diverse and all had their own style going for them. So I would be surprised if you couldn't find the thing you are looking for. Now about the girls I meet there. I got a private dance fro a wonderful lady named Grace and she was an absolute treat. I mean this whole heartedly this was the best person I have ever meet that worked at a strip club. We had a loved chat. She talked me through all the rules and what to expect as well as what I was comfortable with. Personality 20 /10 Skills 10/10 Attitude 20/10 Eyes 100/10 100% would come back again just to speak to her.

It's a no for me. I've been here a few times and overall...... NO. 1. 18USD for a shot of vodka and redbull, that's crazy! NO 2. Security tapping me off the stage, I JUST sat down ( 130sec Max) and the security is already on my a** about tipping. How embarrassing. NO 3. I'm with my partner and a dancer charges 400 EACH for 15 mins. NO 4. Ordered Tater Tots, a dancer came over and made conversation for about 5 mins before she was reaching for my tots! She put her nasty fingers and long nails all in my tots. How RUDE. You don't mess with a woman's food!!! NO. NO. NO. NO. This place is a straight up MONEY GRAB. I've been to plenty of Portland clubs. This is by far the worst. Girls have no manners. They all think they're the creme de la creme. Security essentially hustles you to tip before your jacket is even off. Dont ruin your night by going here. Union Jack's, Kit Kat, Sassys, Spyce... Anywhere but here.

Nice girls Alexis really stood out, beautiful smile and everything else too. Very diverse group. I felt like the 2 dollars per song to sit at the stage was stiff for a couple who wants to hang out a few hours. These are short songs people. Lol. We sat mostly back at the table area but still tried to go up and drop each girl a 2-4 dollar tip. We were just looking for a night out and actually enjoyed watching the girls dance. Our budget was 100 cash for tips and we managed to tip out about 90 dollars and left. Food and drinks went on the card. As a vegan, the food wasn't as great as I had hoped considering it use to be a restaurant. I am sure most people don't care about the food. We had the quesadilla, taquito & chimichanga.

This monday was third time being there. Security, dancers are awesome bartenders are usually awesome too. Beautiful and various dancers. But some dancers are pushy about lap dance and then ask for tips when you are sitting on table saying no to lap dance. Like i literally said “i appreciate your offer but i am good” then dancer said “if you are thanking me where is my tips?” 😂

Portland is consider the Mecca of strip clubs and recognized to be rather pioneer of quite some variety options for clubbing and adult entertainment .. However if you like the authentic experience , I will call it old school spot , with polite and seriously hot dancers , would be my recommendation.. I often go watch dancers on a pole nude some not so nude , finally this spot was relaxed.,sincerely friendly , and not having girls breathing down on your neck if you want a private dance or not . No e of that nasty looks up and down if you want a moment to be by yourself ... It wasn't like my lucky day , I think that's how they roll and thats their style .. Thats how I see it ..... Cheers

This place is very inviting, a friend and I went together for our first strip club! Women were beautiful and talented. We only had beer, next time we'll try the food. Everyone was very nice

Zorro is the best baker I've ever seen in a strip club. The tasty treats he provides at the table, always complements the lady who is dancing on it. He pairs his desserts with the strippers like a experienced Sommeliar does with wine and food. This place is outstanding inside and out. I highly recommend it because everyone who works there treats you like family. A very close family!

This is where the party is at lots of girls in all shapes and sizes love the open concept of the stage DJ was great! There is even a fun girl there with a rc car with a dildo attached to it she was super sweet we love you girl! Waitress was on it kept our drinks filled always! Egg rolls were delicious thank you casa Diablo you didn't disappoint!

We came here for our first strip club experience with my partner and their friends, we had a great time and I appreciate that the place is vegan. The atm's dispense 50's and the change at the bar is 2's. No cover charge when we went on Sunday and the dancers were all skilled on the pole and dazzled us on a fairly empty night. I had a lap dance from Blossom who was lovely, fun, and nice. I didn't try any of the food, the drinks were good from what I heard from friends, I only had PBR to drink that night. No stall door in the men's room.

Place is amazing from the moment you pull up to the door. Great service and great atmoshphere. Love it!!!

Checked this place out after a couple of locals recommended it while in town. We showed up a few minutes before the cover charge was in place, but after the night that we had, the cover charge is fully welcome at our future visits. We grabbed a couple of drinks and sat at the stage fully prepared to pay for each and every dance each dancer graced the staged with. We were amazed at all of the lovely ladies and talent that they brought to the poles. We both bought a dance for each other and once we spent all of our cash we headed out - we actually had a strict no card rule, only spent the cash we brought so that we didn't run into any weird charge issues :) Definitely going back when we make it back to Portland!

It was our last night in Portland and I wanted to keep the party going. After rallying 3 of the guys in my group, we decided to head to Casa Diablo. We arrived on Friday, December 30th around 12:15am. There was no cover. After scoping the place out, we found a table along the wall. I wasn't in much of a drinking mood, so one of the boys got a pitcher of Bud Light (or some kind of light beer), and I sipped on a glass for the two hours we were here. Obviously, since I'm a girl, I normally go to strip clubs just to hang out and drink. There's a lot of eye candy here as the club is pretty big. It looks like the girls start at a small stage closer to the bar and then do two dances on the main stage. One on each pole. The girls here were amazing on the pole. Each one doing tricks, climbing up to the top, etc. I was definitely impressed. For the guys, I believe they only give change in two dollar bills, so if you want ones, I guess you gotta bring them yourself. There's also a patio off to the side where you can go smoke and get some fresh air. It was a rainy night, so no one was really hanging out there, but it's a decent sized patio. One of the better clubs I've been to. It's kinda in the middle of nowhere, but it's really just a short car ride away.

Best. Place. Ever. Vegan. Don't Care. Heaven Hottest girls They even showed me attention, so go get 'em boys Another great time!! Friendly staff, and gorgeous women. Only complaint is that they aren't open 24/7 Thinking of buying property in the area

I came here with a group of girls for a bachelorette party. We showed up around 1 or 2PM on a Sunday & it was almost completely empty, but the girls were quick to entertain us and serve us drinks. The place is really room & comfortable and there's a nice sized patio outside. The girls were amazing on the pole, their tricks and acrobatics were impressive. We didn't try any food, but the drinks were well-poured and inexpensive. It was interesting that they only give $2 bills to you for tips, but I love that they are unique like that. Overall, I had a lot of fun here & would return.

My vegan friend was visiting from SoCal and wants to see Portland's finest, Casa Diablo is not your typical strip club offering vegan food with carnivorous exotic dancing and pole aerobatics, watch as gravity and vivacious female artist work their skills, what you will view through the flying two dollar bills is nothing short of tiny cotton candy scented miracles taking place. Fun time had by all will return! I recommend taking an Uber hitting 3 clubs and not overstaying at any one place, in that way you get the full spectrum of the entertainment quality in the region.

Terrible. We were there less than 5 minutes. First red flag was the overweight cashier who, after we paid a cover charge, flashed us her saggy tits and took our change as her tip. Bitch, we just paid a cover to see dancers and their breasts. We do not need to tip you to see yours. We went in as a couple to drop quite a bit of cash, but the whole place looked and felt shady. We noped outta there really quick and spent our money at Spyce. I was irritated the cashier just took our change without permission. Very sketchy, very dirty club.

I went to this place as a casual curiosity and for the interesting fact that they serve vegan food. The ladies were very nice and I had a lovely conversation with many of them. The atmosphere was relaxed to excitement as the hour ticked by. I ordered the vegan quesadilla as per what one of the girls said and it was fantastic. Very flavorful and a great price for what you get. My partner got the Diablo burger and it was pretty good. A simple classic vegan burger however, it doesn't come with fries. Please dont pass up this place. Come hungry with friends!

Step back, step back, you don't know me like that. The only thing that sucks in here are the entertainers and it's on each other mostly or a big black dildo,either way it's fun to watch. The food is stellar and the spirits are invoked.the devil knows how to party, invite horned bunnies!

The best dances hands down. Best cruelty free food. Cant loose.

Not much else I can say that hasn't been said. They're vegan (booze too), they have kombucha at the bar, and I can get down with seitan and Satan at the same time. I went here twice in 36 hours.

Three stars.... I would have given them 5 for the show alone. The girls are nice, sweet and the debauchery is my favorite part! Three stars for the fact that if you are getting served at your table, your waitress will never tell you that a tab over 100 incurres an automatic gratuity. I was also tipping my waitress every time she brought me a drink. So she easily got an 80 tip out of me that night with the automatic gratuity. I'm annoyed I wasn't told so my bill was insane including the cash I tipped her. Should probably tell people when serving them. If I had known that, I wouldn't have tipped her cash. There are signs at the bar stating that, but if you never go to the bar, how the hell are you supposed to know????

I wrote my initial review 10 years ago when I was abusing drugs and alcohol big time. I feel like an asshole. I hope I didn't cause too much harm to the business with my review but maybe I'm giving myself too much credit. Again, my apologies. Especially that, "not too bad for 40 comment."

My friend took me here years ago when he first moved to Portland. We went here, then tried another strip club, and both agreed we wanted to go back to Casa Diablo. The girls were adorable, sexy, and welcoming. They were neither too aggressive nor too unapproachable. I got a lap dance from a really hot girl, and it was a great time. But the FOOD. Omg this was hands down the BEST vegan burger I've ever had, and I'm not even vegan. Even now, years later, I talk about how good this burger was. When I next go to Portland, Casa Diablo is first on my list of places to visit.

My first ever strip club experience, go big or go home as they say. We waited to get in for 20-30 minutes, I don't know if this is the usual for a Saturday night, but this was my assumption. The dancers were pretty good, although a lot of them didn't have much technical ability, they made up for it in customer engagement. I've been told it isn't exactly legal, but most of the girls touched customers and a few did lesbian acts, which is about as close to legal porn as you can get. I've heard the food is good, it was one of the original reasons I wanted to check it out, but we didn't try food this time as we were busy checking out the ladies. Next time we have a random strip club kinda night, I'll be back!

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and was very pleasantly surprised. I have no idea, but we ended up staying from like 4-9PM. The staff here was very down-to-earth and welcoming. Even the bouncer with face tattoos was super friendly and was asking me about my arm tattoos. Really great vibes. Now on to the dancers. During the time we were there, the "evening" dancers had not arrived, but I'm glad we came the time we did. It was a a lot more mellow, and the women there were so personable and funny. I really enjoyed meeting Peaches and Nova. All the dancers do a fantastic job on the stage with a lot of "tricks" that made the entire experience so entertaining. Off stage, every woman has such a fun and down-to-earth personality. There's some people complaining about only being given $2 as small bills. What's the problem?! Just a minor financial readjustment. The set up was very comfortable: big parking lot in the front, great drinking and stage area, a couple different private dance areas, and a large smoking patio. Lots of places to mingle or just chill out. My only gripe is that I went on a beer tour before coming here, and I got pretty intoxicated on multiple levels. Thanks, Casa Diablo. And thank you to all the amazing women there!

I was as Mary's Club downtown when I overhead some other patron's talking about Casa Diablo. Based on what they were saying about the place I knew I wanted to head over to Casa Diablo after leaving Mary's. The Casa seemed a bit out of the way and didn't really have much around it so keep that in mind when driving, ubering, or catching a cab. My friend and I enjoyed our time here and would recommend it to fellow travelers. Some things to note, 1) The bar only breaks larger bills into $2 increments, which I think is a great way to make sure the girls get more money. 2) The girls on stage are aggressive with people sitting on the rail. I don't mean this in a bad way, but they where getting off the stage and into people's laps during their dance and are much more physical than I'm used to seeing girls be so just be prepared. 3) You need to leave $2 on the stage at the start of each song to sit the rail.

It's pretty ironic that I went to great lengths to financially glorify this place, and then I go in a couple days ago (for a friend's birthday), and ask for my change in ones. "no problem!" I get the change...they are all...$2 bills. Uhhh...what? Seriously? These are still printed? I go to the bartender "'scuse me, these are 2's, I asked for ones, can I get some 1's please?" "Awwww, honey, 2's are twice the party and twice the fun!" "I asked for ones and you gave me twos." "Don't you want to party twice as hard?" "No, I want one's." "Well, we don't have ANY ones" "Not in this whole place, there are no ones?" "No, we have fives and tens though" Thanks for giving me the wrong units of money and hoping I wouldn't notice. Thanks for talking down to me like a child, I just love it The only thing I love more is being lied to my face. I'm sure you've never been tipped in one's, must never happen, no ones in the entire joint, totally believable. Nothing gold can stay, see previous review for what this place once was. Oh and here's some food for thought: if you've ever touched a $2 bill in Portland odds are it has also been touched by someone in the exotic dancing industry.

Disclaimer: I came here solely for the food, I swear... *fingers crossed behind my back* There's a lot of strip clubs that offer food such as "legs n' eggs" at ol' Uncle Larry's Hustler Club in SF, but I wouldn't be caught dead eating in those places. Not even for the $2.99 buffet or whatever deal they might be offering. I may not frequent gentleman's clubs much anymore but any establishment that features the motto, "We the put the meat on the pole, not on the plate" is a place I don't mind spending my hard(ly) earned two dollars at. I had been wanting to visit Casa Diablo for years, ever since I first heard of it. Combining two of my favorite things, Vegan food and nekkid girls, this has long been my dream destination. Being located all the way in Portland, it was a bit of a hike just to see some boobies. So naturally, I needed some better excus... err reasons to make the trek all the way to the Pacific Northwest. My babygirl made all my dreams come true with a Portland dream vacation, to include a birthday visit to the Diablo. I got the feeling we were walking into a dive once we parked, but actually this place is really not too bad looking on the inside for a titty bar. Not dirty or gritty like most places, yet not artificially fancy like some Vegas wannabe club either. Nope, just a clean dive bar atmosphere that just happens to feature a stage in the middle with a few brass poles. And what about those dos dollar bills @ Casa Diablo? As most everyone mentions it's a marketing gimmick in which they give you change for whatever you may purchase here, food, beer, lap dances, etc. in the form of a $2 bill. It seems like they're slyly forcing you to tip more at once but these ladies give you more bang for your two bucks on center stage than you will get at many places from a private lap dance. Especially if you happen to be female as well. Those dancers seem to get VERY handsy when they go over the rail. In fact, I appreciate the way the dance rotation works out. The night we visited, there were two girls dancing on the same stage but at opposite ends with their own pole. The first girl does her thing fully clothed. Well, as fully clothed as it gets 'round here... Once that song ends, she moves to the other end of the stage as the other girl exits, then a new dancer follows behind her. It seems to flow more smoothly than the usual rotation where each girl gets three songs as folks get lazy with their tips on the first two since they know they're not gonna get much of a show out of it until her final song. All the women dancing are beautiful in their own way. Before we came here, I was afraid it would be all Suicide Girls and nothing else. While there are more tattooed chicks than your average place, there's really something for everyone's preference. No matter which flavor you prefer your eye candy, you'll find something that appeals to you at Casa Diablo. Oh yea, and the food? It's actually pretty good. It's simple food that you could easily prepare at home. But unless you're Nelly, you don't have a brass pole in your basement, let alone your dining room. The foodstuffs were actually really good and reasonably priced. I would have been happy to order it from any restaurant. I was amazed that the craft beers were only $6 for a pint from the topless bartendress! I seriously have paid more for a bottle of Bud at worse places than this. Johnny Diablo must be doing something right as I'm sure the majority of his clientele (& entertainers) aren't even Vegan yet they were successful enough to open up another club recently, called Black Cauldron the week after we visited on Halloween night. 34th bday party at The Cauldron? Hell YEAAAH!!! http://www.yelp.com/biz/casa-diablo-vegan-strip-club-portland#hrid:sKG1TeYUP1fbuKs6eTil5g

This was or is THE BEST strip club in Portland, for some reason I thought it was closed down. The girls will go down on each other on stage and dance with a princess plug in. If you don't know what that is, google it. :-) As far as I have heard, it is the only two way touching club out there. This makes every other strip club ever boring.

Nice girls, a good variety of talent, all shapes sizes and colours Champagne room to dark to see the parts you want to see, a little disappointing for $ 500.00 plus tip Sit at the stage and enjoy No cover, on a Thursday Wife and I had a great time

Ok, I went in my 'professional capacity' to experience and review the vegan menu. No such luck. Although the club's owner is coddling up to social media these days, offering specials and discounts for various check-ins, woe to those who try and redeem said specials - or for that matter, order any food at all. (And hey, what's with having your web presence on My Space, didn't you get the memo?) For you see, there is no wait staff at the club. Nor any distribution of menus. Nor anybody that cares to offer assistance in same, or for that matter, in ordering drinks, which are obtained on a bar order basis exclusively. As clubs of this nature go, Casa keeps pace with the best of them, as far as drink prices. Skimpy cocktails and big prices. But Burgerdogboy, what of the entertainment, how was that? If you go for this aspect, it appears, tho I cannot testify under oath, you will receive more than your money's worth compared to other clubs. The entertainers seem eager to push the laws (if there are specific ones, I don't know) of human contact on a regular basis. They are moderately attractive, in a Portland sort of way. Oh, lightbulb! Just figured out why you can't get any food at this place. Upon reflection, it seems the dancers already ate it all. P.S. Mr Casa, whatever the DJ is saying of merit is completely lost by the poor quality of your sound system. Just FYI.

If you're looking for a strip club that looks like a high school boy's fantasy of a dorm room at a community college than this is the place for you!! I don't think there was one girl over 22 and OMG were they HUNGRY!!! I went with my girl and we were one of three other people there but I kid you not there were at least 20 girls walking around if not more. Overall whoever runs this place has a very strange idea of what a strip club experience should be. Weak drinks, short songs, weak talent and no organization at all. I actually had a girl start whining at me because I wouldn't leave my wife and go get a private dance.

This doesn't get any better. Haven't been in 2 years but always a great time. Talent level is high and the girls look to be having a good time. Bouncer, like most in his profession, kind of a napoleon complex dickhead. P*ssy top notch though.

I have to chime in. Oh, for all that is holy this might as well be my new religion. Being from Vegas, I thought I'd seen everything. Well, I'm not in Vegas anymore. Sorry, dudes. It's not like they can service you on the spot. Your lady friends are having all the fun. That's all I'm saying...

Probably the best club I've been to so far. The girls were beautiful & friendly & they give good dances too! I never thought I'd care about the food at a club but we tried some & that ended up being better than expected also. Would definitely return :)

As a woman, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here! Most of the ladies here were very attractive, not artificial looking, and extremely nice/friendly. There was no pressure to spend money if you just stood against the wall and watched the performances on stage. Cover was only $6 and the entertainment that our group got out of it was well worth the money. You can buy someone a special "treatment/lap dance" given by two ladies on stage for $50. The building looked a little scary outside, but it's actually decently clean inside. The customers were a healthy mix of bachelor parties, couples, and groups of friends just looking to have a good time/laugh. The tricks that these ladies were doing on the pole had us gaping. I'm no expert at strip clubs, but I've been to ones in other cities, and these ladies were advanced! If you're a girl, be warned, do NOT sit at the stage unless you are prepared to be groped, touched inappropriately, or more. If you do decide to sit at the stage, be prepared to tip at least $2 per song.

There was a fair amount of women crush Wednesday. Non the less, I was there for the food. I was not expecting the Eggless egg rolls to be so good. My thought (from an "asian") was why would it be good but why not try it! It was fresh from the fryer, the wrap was pretty and had great crunch to it. The sauce is the typical sweet chilly sauce u can get from the bottle. What I was expecting to be good was their chimichanga. Looked really pretty but wasn't so tasteful. I tried asking for extra hotsauce but waitress didn't seem too helpful... Even at the bar. The guy who brought out the food was nice. Google maps took it through the back road which was very sketchy. The road was wet and hidden towards the back... I don't know why it didn't take it through the front side. So when it tells u to turn on that small street, DONT... Just go straight on the last main road and it'll be on your left hand side. Overall... I'd only go back for the Eggless egg rolls. Happy Oinking!

As a lone visitor, this joint was great for my situation. I just needed a place to chill and smoke cigarettes and have one more beer before I called it a night during my first night in Portland. The place is pricier than the other joints I've been to but I wasn't seeking that anyway. I'll have to come back with a larger wad and so I can't rate this place on the dances, just my experience. It could be 5 stars if had a larger wad with me at the time.

We came here on a Saturday night, cover charge was 8 bucks which wasn't bad at all. This was my first experience in a strip club so I cannot compare it to others, but my friend said out of the 3 he's been to, this was the best. There are a wide variety of the girls, with different personalities, body shapes, and overall physical appearance. Skinny white girls, to tatted short buzzed cut girls, to thick black girls, but nonetheless they are all very talented and beautiful. I am a girl and did not sit at the main table, but watching the girls dance is purely entertaining. Drinks were fairly priced as well. I would highly recommend this place, only 8 bucks for some of the best entertainment in town!

I was told that this place had the best vegan food, so we wanted to try. Somehow, we didn't get a chance to, as it was a jammed packed Saturday night. My first thought of these girls were "OMG look at that core strength", as they were doing a lot acrobatic twists and spins. The second was that they were very attractive. There were a lot of variety too, which was nice (for some people). The girls at the stage were very interactive with the audience, and overall, looked like they were enjoying themselves too. It was honestly one of the best strip clubs I've been to, although, I'd probably have to come again to really try the vegan. Some things to know before going: -The cover is $6-$7, and they only take $2 tip, so make sure you change your bills (they do let you change here as well). - If you sit at the stage, make sure you tip the girls $2 at the beginning of each song. And money will fly quick because it's that crazy.

Thumbs up to a place that actually promotes positive ways to help the earth yet still enjoy and have fun living here. Cheers!

Basically..live porn. Disgusting and beautiful. 2$ bills are crispy. Pretty sure I got AIDS just by walking in. Great experience, would recommend to a friend, and have.

Not the casa Diablo I once knew and loved. This place used to be awesome. Laid back atmosphere, friendly staff, and incredible entertainers. Now it's a money hungry cesspool. The $2 bill movement is genius, but now they exposed it to a point that this place isn't worth it anymore. The strippers are entitled, and the staff expects you to tip them just to turn a $100 into 50 $2's. Literally had a server demand a tip from me when I asked for 80 in $2's. I'd rather go down town, or better yet, spend my hard earned cash on the best strip club in town... Acropolis. #fuckcasadiablo

Johnny Diablo, you sly genius bastard. This place has about as much to do with Vegan food as Batman has to do with gelato. Seriously, the biggest ruse to tourists and Pacific Northwest newbies is that this place is actually trading on the novelty of being a Vegan Strip Club. I was at this place during nearly max-capacity Friday night and there was not a single person eating. Well. Not food anyway... Heyooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. That being said, ol' Johnny Diablo knows what he is doing. This place has an excellent dancer-to-patron ratio, SMOKING HOT FINE DIME BROADS (as my grandpa and Snoop Dogg would say together), and a great atmosphere where aforementioned dames actually work the poles. I've always said that strippers are like pizza: when they're good they're GOOD, when they're bad, they're still pretty good. That in mind, this place does have some legitimately talented strippers. Many strip clubs in the PNW seem to encourage both dancer and patron to accept the nudity like background music to your drinking...that is to say, yawn-inducing performances in most cases. Not at Casa. A+ to their stable for looks, variety, and effort on the pole. Now, given this, I don't mind tipping or making it rain in 2's (another clever gimmick from Portland's most famous pimp) especially if this is what I'm getting in return. The math works out anyway you cut it. I'd rather spend 500 at Casa Diablo's than 250 at Mary's. The problem is they've gone too far in some respects. Between the signs on the stage requiring a tip every song to sit there, the designated waiting area for a private dance, and the ludicrous advertised private dance prices...they lose a star. Casa has a good thing going, so why shoot themselves in the foot by trying to be so mechanical and gouging? Two pretty big turn-offs. That being said, I'd still rather party at Casa because the competition is Dancin' Bear and Sassy's. Which is why they can get away with it. It's a vicious cycle. If they made a few small changes they could be one of the best strip clubs in the nation. (imagine this said like Ronald Reagan) Mr. Diablo...TEAR DOWN THOSE SIGNS. And RAISE UP THOSE ASSES! Seriously, if he did, I'd back him for Mayor.

Meh. The food menu was meh. I still liked the music,decor/atmosphere and my fries. The service was good.

Tried to get in for my buddy's bachelor party but there were 50 people waiting in line. Kind of sucks when you spend $30 for a cab ride not to be able to even get into a place. I would rate it higher if I could have gotten in. From the outside its pretty stupid when you have to look at the back of 50 dudes. Other than that is was kind of butt! Too bad we couldn't get in.

Okay this is in a female's perspective... -Girls are pretty hot. If you're going to go you might as well be looking at attractive girls right? A lot of them have tattoos but really nice artistic ones. I wanted to ask a lot of them who their tattoo artists were. Also they had the pin-up girls as well as the more rocker looking girls, what's not to like? -Fairly clean for a strip club, not that I'm a frequenter. -Mix of girls and guys and couples so it didn't feel too awkward. (Maybe guys feel differently?) -You can tell some of the people are there because of Yelp lol. There were the awkward couples there :) -The $2 dances are crazy. Money flys quickly. -The girls get quite into it/racey? It was fun for the experience :)

Valentine's Day was fast approaching. We no longer live in Las Vegas, NV where nightlife activities are endless, and our new home of Tricities, WA is pretty limited in terms of 'things to do'. Shortly after Casa Diablo opened several years ago, my former boyfriend had sent me an article on it. Being vegan myself, I was so incredibly excited to hear of the existence of a strip club that served delicious vegan food! Since that time, while I had visited Portland on a few occasions over the years, I was unfortunately never able to make it to Casa Diablo. Fast forward to last week. My beau and I began having a serious discussion about what we should do to celebrate Valentine's Day. Being so close to the day itself, we learned quickly that we had waited far too long to make a reservation for dinner, pretty much anywhere. Speaking more on what an ideal V-Day would look like in a big city, that was all that was needed for the idea to come to light. We would go to Portland on the 14th and spend our evening enjoying dinner and entertainment at Casa Diablo! Our experience there was wonderful -- Food The food was tasty (nachos for an appetizer; fettuccine alfredo for an entree that was big enough to split). The price was far below what we expected to pay for both the quality of the food AND for it being served in a strip club. Drinks The mixed drinks were made well and were fairly priced, again, especially for this particular environment! Atmosphere Awesome layout of the club, great way that the lineup is handled (two girls on stage at a time -- one being 'on deck' and the other on the 'main stage'; after 3-5 minutes, the girl on deck moves over to the main stage for the next song). Lots of seating room, which I was very happy about due to it being quite busy for Valentine's Day. We had more trouble finding parking than we did finding a table for ourselves! Girls Beautiful, young, mostly happy, & not strung out. They had talent on the pole, and almost all of them were fun to watch. Some had no tattoos, some had a few, and others had a ton. Some had fake boobs, and others were au natural. It really kept the experience visually interesting. Further, a couple of girls featured penetration with toys in their time on stage, which is something I had never seen before -- even in Las Vegas! A few weak points, though: While almost all of the strippers were Caucasian, slim or slightly curvy, and in shape, suddenly, an obese black stripper came out. I had to avert my eyes during her few performances. She really killed the mood and the general vibe when she was on stage. Come on, now; especially at a place that serves vegan food (vegan being a 'healthy' lifestyle), even if your strippers don't have to be vegan, they should at least look the part: HEALTHY. Also, two of the four women waitresses walking around, filling drinks & taking orders were rude. In addition to ignoring us consistently (but not ignoring any of our neighboring tables....), one Caucasian girl was quite heavy with a large belly hanging over her underwear. Again, not something very visually appealing. And, when I flagged her down at one point because I needed change in $2 bills along with a fresh drink, she brought out the drink made completely wrong. Even though she had repeated it correctly to me before walking back to the bar... The other rude waitress, a young black girl, also had a belly going, and her looks just didn't quite fit in with someone that A. you want to see partially naked, and B. you want to tip. Thankfully, I never had to tip her, because she never even asked us if we needed anything during the multiple hours we were there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All in all, even with my minor complaints, we will DEFINITELY be returning to Casa Diablo. Those three women mentioned above are the only reason I couldn't give this spot 5 stars, but our experience was still incredible! Other than its sister club, we have no reason to visit another strip club when in PDX. Casa Diablo is our place!

Reviewing strip clubs can pose a bit of a conundrum... especially for a guy. How do you write about a place dedicated to taking money in exchange for sexually-themed interactions without sounding like a total creeper? The answer: Very carefully. This dilemma is twofold at a place like Casa Diablo. You see, everyone knows that stripping is a spectator sport. But at a select few places it rises to the level of full-contact. Note I didn't put that last hyphenated word in parenthesis. I don't want anyone to think that I mean anything, well, illegal. Suffice to say that if you're the kind of person that prefers a "put me in the game, coach!" attitude to sitting on the sidelines, then Casa Diablo is the place for you. The ladies here are not shy about crawling over the rail and in to your lap. There's a good chance that if you're sitting up front and tipping for a while, you may walk out of Casa Diablo smelling like Stripper Axe*, spray-on-tan and cooch. While there are some ladies that stick to prancing around on stage and doing pole work, the méthode du guerre here is more shock and awe - a full frontal assault. Even the bartender was topless. So if that's what you want - by all means, you'll have a beyond-5-star experience here. However if you're the kind of person that prefers to keep the ladies at a distance, or if you want something closer to a burlesque tease than a filthy romp, then (and as I am sure you can tell from some of the other reviews on this page - mostly from the ladies), you may want to skip the drive out to the deep NW industrial area. Personally, I find that there are plenty of clubs in town where the dancers will prance around on stage or do the burlesque thing, and when that's what I'm looking for, I go there. However if I have a bachelor that needs to enjoy his last night of freedom before being locked into monotony, well, I think you get where I'm going. As far as the club itself goes, this casa looks more like a random seedy nudie bar from the outside... oh wait, it is a seedy nudie bar. but it's much less divier inside than it appears from out front. And the ladies are, at least on average, hotter than you'd expect at your run-of-the-mill sketchy windowless joint (like Glimmers, for example). No, they're not all as hot as, say, at Sassy's or Club 205 (keep in mind I was here on a Wednesday night), but again, I think the gist of this review leads you to understand what you're going to be coming here for. I also hear rumor that the vegan fare is good here, but really, food would be at least 3rd down the line on my priorities for making the trip out to the hinterlands. Casa Diablo is definitely now on the top of my list for events like bachelor parties. However I'm not sure I would take the wife here for a sexy evening out with some demure teasing girls on stage. Yeah not so much. ______________________ *Stripper-Axe is what we have affectionately come to call whatever that scented stuff is that strippers everywhere spray all over their body before they dance. I think it comes from Victoria's Secret or something, but it seems like the strippers all have the same scent: Stripper. Of course sometimes that scent is mixed with cigarettes and booze.

Um, ok. This vegan strip club truly lives up to it's motto..."the meat's on the stage, not on the plate". I am a former vegan, and have wanted to check this place out for a while. Yes, I'm a girl who likes the occasional trip to see some beautiful naked ladies performing dances on stage and around poles. This Friday, I was able to talk one of my other sassy gal-pals into attending with me (FYI gentlemen - strippers LOVE girls, so make sure and take your lady next time, you'll see what I mean). Apparently Friday night is when the real show happens...I'll get to that later. First the location is a bit surreal. This place is located out in the industrial area of NW Portland...not your average "stop" for an evening out. Walking in you feel like you are on the set from "From Dusk 'til Dawn 4" We got there pretty early (around 9pm) so it was still a bit quiet. We were fortunate enough to see the tail end of a drunken bachelor party walking out right as we came in, so we didn't have to deal with a bunch of wasted frat guys yelling "woo-hoo" all night. The drinks were stiff and the music was awesome. Apparently this club only plays rock music, but Q-roy (DJ on Fridays) did a great job mixing it up for the ladies. Of course, I had to have some vegan chili-cheese nachos for nostalgia, they were mediocre. Beware - this club only takes cash and the ATM fee is $3.95! The ladies we're sexy, beautiful, skinny, strong, voluptuous and more. Most of them were good dancers, all of them one-by-one got naked. As my friend and I sat at a table off to the back of the stage we chatted with the hottest girl of the night (Gina) who is an awesome belly dancer and a total sweet-heart (and she happens to be a friend of mine). We weren't paying much attention to the stage until the DJ started announcing the next girl...I mean girls. This time 2 ladies would be entertaining us. OK. They both came onto the stage and immediately every guy in the place ran up to vie for a seat at the rack. The ladies called to my table "come join us girls", ok, this must be good if they have such a following. The ladies then proceeded to spread out a blanket in the middle of the stage...hmmm...what was this show going to be? Water tricks, fire, naked ladies slipping & sliding? Well, it was none of that. In fact, I can't even tell you what went on without blushing from my desk chair, but needless to say, if you are a man who likes chicks...you need to visit this club on Friday nights. If you are a woman who likes chicks, you need to visit this club on Friday nights. If you are like me, a hetero married woman who likes the occasional boobies in her face, be warned...this is not your average night on the town. I'll leave it at that.

Ah, Johnny Diablo. Here we are at last. Pistols at ten paces. I want to love Casa Diablo. I want to motorboat in Casa Diablo's breasts and buy her a thousand lap dances. I want Casa to be my bestest vegan girlfriend ever. I want Casa to be "Mi Casa." But I just can't love Casa the way I want. I have to give Casa three measly stars, because, alas, I can only project upon Casa what she will just never be. So I have to look squarely in the eyes of the Home That Johnny Built and tell her she can't have me the way I know she wants me. I've been here enough times to know what's up. So let's be honest. Good things: * Bartenders are topless, and look great. You wouldn't think this would be anything significant, given the fact ravenous girls by the score are running around everywhere completely nude. However, it is an entirely different and altogether more intoxicating experience watching "Lady Slings The Booze" minus underwire support. Unfortunately the floor behind the bar is about a foot lower than the floor in front of it, so instead of perkiness at eye level, you kinda have to look down at "things" from above. Hmm. * Girls go over the rail and into your lap on the regular (basically every song), and some are quite friendly about it. On this trip, one inebriated rail-scaler was even mighty grabby on me ol' (fully-panted) prized possessions. And by grabby, I mean holdy and rubby. Me rub you long time. That's not something you get every day for a 2-dollah tippa. Casa Diablo is a fully-nude, contact-friendly establishment, which for my money, is the *only kind* of establishment that should exist. Note: by contact-friendly, I mean her on you, not you on her. Ask what's okay before YOU get grabby, fella. * Lena is the most genuine, pleasant girl I've met in a club in about, oh, 23 years? Couldn't pitch a sale if she tried, and I love her for it. * The girls without regs are better than the girls with regs, even with whales. That's unusual. If you don't speak dancer-lingo, ask one what I mean the next time you're with one. No matter where she works now, she will probably instantly know you're talking about Casa Diablo because metric tons of dancers churn and burn through this joint. I'll tell you why in a moment. * Food. I'm no vegan, but these cow-less burgers are as advertised: fantastic. You won't pay a lot for the surprisingly tasty all-vegebetarian trough at Casa. * The main stage. This is a vast, roomy 2-pole stage. Girls rotate in and out from one pole, to another, one pole per song. A second, smaller stage near the bar opens up when the joint packs in. What this means is that it takes a heaping boatload of dancers on rotation to get Casa bumping. On some nights, up to 25 dancers will be on rotation, PER SHIFT. It's a giant mass of nakedness, strewn out everywhere. But it also means churn and burn. PDX clubs throughout the area are littered with the confetti of ex-Casa dancers. * It's cleaner now. Care has been taken to make-over the interior the right way. The ambiance is pleasant now. It feels a little like a (cleaner) McMenamin's joint with boobs and attitude, and I like that. One "just okay" thing: * DJ booth is well-manned (props to Corduroy), but the sound quality in the club is sub-par. The equipment is fine. It's the building design. Casa wasn't built to be a club; it doesn't sound like one. So why 3 stars? First of all, as I understand it, infamous Johnny Diablo was the first in PDX to bring out the 2-dollar bill action. I remember when it happened, too. If it's true: damn you, Johnny D! The 2-dollar tipping trip is spreading around PDX clubs like wildfire now. Hey, I'm always, always generous at the rack. Get off my back, Jack. It just makes me twitchy when someone else decides for me what my experience is supposed to be worth. Two dollars is the lowest common denominator. You can't GET a George Washington as change at Casa. Remove 1 star. Dancers are overly chummy and clique-ish with regs and BFs during biz hours, ignoring all others. This is a universal problem in PDX, though. No star removal. Private dances are $40. Yeah. $40. Buy two, and get the third for half price. That's just a fancy way of saying 3 for $100. I want you to realize, this is twice what dances cost at 90%+ of other PDX clubs. This would be okay if your experience was twice as awesome. And it's definitely good. But it's not twice as good. Remove another star. The private dance booths are lush and comfy, though. In short: Casa's a beauty queen with a death grip on your wallet. So there it is, 3 stars. I will come back to Casa on occasion. I will give Johnny D more money, 2 dollars at a time. But I don't love Casa. I won't be faithful to Casa. Sometimes, whenever the mood's just right and I'm drunk enough, I'll take Casa by the hand down the hall and give her a good shaggin'. But, I'll sneak out of bed before the sun rises and snag HER wallet on the way out the window. Call me Shawny Diablo, thief in the night.

Curiosity killed the cat, eh? Well not this cat...it did nothing but get me to purr, meow and love all the other kitties just a little bit more. The girls had me taken aback by their beauty and dance skills. Every single one of them perfect 10s in looks and moves. When you walk in the crispness of fresh clean air hits your nozzles immediately followed by the glow of neon red lights at the bar on the other end of the room. Can't believe how fresh the air is in this place, what the heck? Aren't places like this supposed to be somewhere you want to get out of soon, not linger longer? The wooden floors looked and smelled like they had just been polished, in fact the entire interior was impressively immaculate from ceiling to floor. Most of the seating were tables, a few booths and bench seats surrounding the stage. If you wanted to sit up for a closer view of the performance, you had to fork out $2 per song. Yes, $2.00, not $1; when you turn in your big bills for change, they give you $2 bills. The stage was a good size, holding enough space for two entertainers at a time, each with their own poles that extended into the high ceilings. If you're wondering what all the vegan nonsense is about, it pertains to their ethics here at the club. They actually believe in animal rights and prefer their patrons and employees both to not partake in the indulgence of animal products (well at least not while you're there). Their extensive four page menu offers nothing, but vegan delights (in which we didn't get a chance to try this round...perhaps the next). They also kindly ask their entertainers to not bring in any meaty items during their shift, to keep up with the cause. Casa Diablo was rockin it even on a Monday night. I would most certainly say this is one of the cleanest and nicest gentleman's clubs I've ever visited! The DJ kept rolling out one good track after another (mainly dub -step) and the staff was sooo sweet! Why does everyone in Oregon just seem so darn sweet?! There are a couple minor things, well once again, one. The drinks here are super, super weak and a little on the expensive side, Pick one, make it weak and cheap, or charge me more and fill 'er up! I know this is a standard ordeal that goes on for this scene... but come on, I ordered a vodka and tonic, not a tonic with a splash of vodka?! We ordered sides of shots just to make our drinks taste okay. Boo hoo!. Otherwise, would have thrown this place five stars in a heartbeat!

When I was a waitress, I collected, traded and saved $2 bills with my coworkers like they were precious commodities. They're only precious because of Casa Diablo. As someone in another review pointed out, the $2 bills I was hoarding up in Seattle probably passed through the hands of one of the gorgeous Casa Diablo girls at one point or another. Most of my friends and people who know me will be surprised to find out -- but at this point, I don't care -- I *like* going to strip clubs. They're fun. Maybe it's because I'm not cool enough to make a ton of friends with my personality alone so other females need cash incentive to chat with me, but strippers are like waitresses, skilled in the art of conversation, entertainment and scathing wit. They may be scantily clad and beautiful to look at, but the best strippers are the best entertainers -- clothes on or clothes off. For my boyfriend's birthday I took him to Mary's Club. Upon talking to some of the other patrons there, another man from WA told me he usually hung out at Casa Diablo, that it was a bit pricier than Mary's, but worth it. So I took his suggestion and we ended up heading over to Casa. For $2 a song, you can sit next to the stage -- which during the early evening hours was shockingly empty -- and get all the attention. While the cheaper guys hung back, I saddled up to the rail [usually one of only 2-4 people], and ended up chatting with all the girls. If you're a lady, you'll probably end up with special attention. My boyfriend and I ended up with a loooot of attention because I guess I giggle and make awkward faces even more when I'm drunk than I do when I'm sober... go figure. So lots of girls made it their mission to make me blush, whether I was sitting at the rail or not. My boyfriend and I both ended up with crazy crushes on one girl in particular -- if you have the opportunity to see Harlo perform, do it! *fans self* Next time I'm in Portland, a stop at Casa Diablo is pretty much mandatory. And now you all think I'm a perv... you're probably not wrong.

TWO'S! $$$$$ Cha-Ching! Casa Diablo is one of my favs. I have only been a couple of times but whenever I leave, I'm always thinking to myself "WTF just happened?". I brought a guy friend here that was visiting from California and the poor guy got NO attention. It was all about me. I'm not complaining but it is a bit odd when were both "makin' it rain" for the ladies. I've been to better clubs around Portland, but there is nothing that compares to Casa Diablo for me. It's dark, hidden off the side of a road in an industrial part of town. It reminds me of a place you'd see in a Rob Zombie movie. HA! Not sure if that's a good or bad thing but I'm going with it. I usually end up leaving here with lots of two dolla bills in my purse. Every time.
