Portland’s Indoor Dining Return Leaves Restaurant Workers Uneasy - Eater Portland

"“I haven’t been able to pay my rent since last June, I haven’t been able to go to my gym, to take the kids anywhere fun besides the park. I’m really ready to open up a little bit,” says bartender Amy Snyder. A single mother of two, Snyder works as a bartender at strip clubs Lucky Devil Lounge and Kit Kat Club, both of which plan to reopen on Friday after being completely closed since November." - Alex Frane

Honestly one of the worst strip club on the West Coast. Some of the dancers are talented, but just a horrible experience overall. Wife and I won't be visiting here again and intend on telling our friends the same. I mean, who puts a poker game right inside the door and has to have the rudest bartender I've ever dealt with. Also ....it would be a good idea to tell some of your dancers to lay off the weed before going out to talk customers into buying lap dances. Most people don't want to smell a skunk rubbing on them. You get a 1 star due to the fact 0 isn't an option.

Exceptionally talented, beautiful, and wonderful strippers on easter. Friendly and overall an amazing first experience at a strip club! The long haired blondish bartender was SO rude and condecending for no reason from the get go.

I came here as a part of Santacon 2023 and it was single handedly the worst strip club I have ever been too. The vibe is horrible, the music is horrible, the dancer on shift was horrible, the drinks were horrible. The entire experience with them was just awful from beginning to end. The bouncer was rude and aggressive about us using our phones, I wouldn’t have taken a picture anyways trust me, and the staff was all very creepy and unwelcoming. This place and X are both awful. If you’re looking for beautiful dancers and a good time I would go to either Spyce or Detour

The interior design makes you feel like you’re back in the old days of burlesque. Such a gorgeous place inside❗️Keep your judgements at the door as this is a place for any body side. I instantly fell in love with a stunning black girl who’s piercing eyes kept me there longer than my kidneys had hoped for. A friend bought me a lap dance and the girl couldn’t have looked more bored while doing. $40 and no touching. Great place to go but I wouldn’t bother with the lap dances.

Went in on a slow Tuesday night. Got a couples lap dance from Fantasia, she was great! Fun, down to earth and beautiful. The club itself was okay, pretty empty minus the poker game happening in the back. We went on their queer night so that was really cool to experience too; seeing different varieties of dancers. Overall good experience.

Anti-immigrant. Security thinks they’re border patrol and wouldn’t let my POC husband in with his resident card. Have never had this happen before and we’re in Portland at least 4x a year. Update based on owner response: his card doesn’t expire for years, so I don’t know where you got that from. Every other bar and club in Portland has let us in with no problem. And the funniest thing is we actually got into this club a year ago with the EXACT SAME ID so I don’t know if it’s new ownership or a different bouncer but this is not a problem I expected to have in such a progressive city.

My friend and I had so much fun at the Burlesque show (1130ish Friday and Saturdays)! The place was clean and the vibes were great. As two women experiencing a gentleman's club we felt safe and respectful the whole evening. Lexi was awesome 🦸‍♀️! Please bring lots of money and tip the dancers good!

The dancers are wildly talented BUT the staff are super aggressive about tipping to the point that it became uncomfortable and our group left EVEN THOUGH we’d been tipping generously while there and paid for a lap dance. It felt like a shake down but it didn’t make sense because we’d been spending money.

The 2 cats at the bar talk if you drink enough! :0 Great place, grab some donuts and coffee, and throw some ones around

One of the most unique and creative clubs I've ever been to. Kit Kat has super talented dancers, great bartenders, a very cool dim lit vintage ambiance and the featured sets are incredible. Feels almost more like a burlesque show. This is the strip club I would bring friends visiting town to. Make sure you stay for the features sets later in the night.

Women are friendly and really work for their tips. Quality stage setup for women to interact. A fun and chill vibe and a good energy to the place. Dancers definitely pick their own songs and each brings their personality into the mix. I went into a few others while in Portland Mary's Club-low energy, not worth going Club Detour-Had too much of that Miami type vibe, wasn't feeling that. So ya definitely worth checking out!

Bad dancing combined with rude people - not a great combo. The dancers were definitely amateurs at best (being generous here)

Fun club! Music is good and the girls are sweethearts. I would recommend for a date night or girls night out for sure. No creeps and no harassment from anyone. Upscale and classy

Best strip club in Portland! You won't see anything like this anywhere! Burlesque, pole wizardry and all around entertainers with the most beautiful ladies in town. The bartenders are great as well; Morgan, Charlie, Amy, Izzie and Krystal are all friendly and fast with service. This crew always make me feel at home whenever I'm in town. Love this place and I always recommend it to people visiting g Portland.

This was amazing! My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this club while bar hoping in Portland. We were just visiting for the night and had no idea where to go. We thought it was just a bar until going inside and seeing the dancers. There was a $5 cover fee to go in which is super cheap. This was my first time in a strip club and I had a blast! The dancers were beautiful and so talented, and really sweet and personable too :) One of them complimented my tattoo and I complimented her heels. How they dance in heels that high I'll never know but they sure look amazing!!! It was really fun and the drinks were really good. If you go to the bar they can give you ones for twenties really easily so you can tip the dancers. If you go please support them and TIP! They work hard and deserve it. I had a lot of fun and highly recommend this club!

Came to Portland for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. So we decided to come to this strip club last min with a few of our friends. Heard it's really different from the strip clubs in Orange County. and it definitely was. it was a good vibe, a lot of female customers not just males. it wasn't just raunchy girls shaking their asses & perverted guys watching vibe. All the strippers were really talented!! having the body power to hold that pole & do the moves that they did, it's pretty damn amazing. definitely put a different perspective into stripping. it made it seem more of a sport, an art. like really sexy acrobats/aerial dancer Lol. There's also a host & they put on a show. the girls are corky & have a lot of personality & pretty too. would definitely come back again when in Portland. P.S if you're in portland this is a great area to hang out too. there's bars and performers & food trucks around here. it's pretty active at night.

Hands down one of my favorite adult entertainment establishments in Portland. Baxter makes you feel like you're at home. You're in safe hands as a femme. Baxter had our back when we were being harassed by someone off the street. He also had our backs and waited for our uber with us. I'd call this the highest quality of customer service. I'll be back to see the amazing performances at KKL, and I'll be back ready to have a good time because I know Baxter has our backs. That's what makes a night life experience. Safety is number fucking one.

Kit Kat is not only the first strip club I have ever been to, but it has become my most favorite spot in all of the Portland area. Been coming to this club on-and-off for five years now and it never gets old. It has a long lineup of dancers (all of whom have colorful and fun personalities), a very elegant ambiance (not sleazy like a stereotypical strip club), and even the bar staff is absolutely dynamite. Barmaids Izzy, Morgan, and Izabelle are really nice and have been there to fulfill my drinking and conservation needs. Even though I've been dry for two years and going strong, I'm happy to say that Kit Kat's bar is a surprisingly good spot for a nice cup of tea. If you are visiting Portland for its strip clubs, then Kit Kat Club is an absolute must. Plus who can resist a strip club that shares its name with a well-known candy bar?

Bartender was great, very personable, accommodating, and had a good memory (remembered everyone's drinks that we ordered) However everything else was a bad experience 1. Immediately after sitting down (did not even allow us to settle down) the bouncer came up to our group and insisted we immediately bought drinks (we did, and as previously mentioned the bartender was great) 2. As we are getting our drinks the bouncer approaches and us and asks for our I.D. (Just felt this was weird as he JUST checked our identifications at the door less than 5 mins ago, even the bartender acknowledged that this was strange) 3. A group of my girlfriend's friends were sitting and another bouncer approaches them and claims they were acting inappropriately by "mocking" the dancers In conclusion, the bar is not welcoming, no other guests there, dancers aren't that great Night prior (Wednesday night) we went to Lucky Devil Lounge and I would HIGHLY recommend going there instead!

10/10 would recommend - Ruby Fontaine's nipples are on point and Jason plays some tunes that'll keep your toe tappin. Some of the finest boobs I've ever seen, besides my own. A good "value" when you throw a few dollars down if ya know what I mean.

I've lived in this city for over a year and a half now and for whatever reason I hadn't been to a strip club in all that time. I've been to my share over the years and most cost you an arm, leg and quite possibly a testicle. Some of the places down in Texas will charge $20 just to get in the door so that you can come home covered in glitter and smelling like sickly sweet cotton candy. So that's most likely why I haven't graced the doors of the establishments. But it was a Saturday night, I was with a group of Yelpers that I'm fast becoming friends with and it was KKCs second anniversary. So why not? $1 cover? Ok, this may or may not be good. Beer reasonably priced with little wait time? This can't be a good strip club, right? Beautiful and talented women, that actually play and are playful to the crowd and not look bored while on stage? Does a place like this truly exist? Why yes, yes it does. The dancing/ singing (yes, I said singing) and pole skills of the lovely ladies at the Kit Kat Club were amazing. This place is a throwback to when people actually cared about the product they were putting out. I did find the one dancer with the "1920's style hairdo to be quite striking. Tattoos, a dancer with a mohawk and contortionist skills were all things that are completely normal here, and appreciated. KKC had a great stage show and the two announcers were keeping the crowd happy and announcing all the dancers. The ladies even did a routine with 13-14 of them on all the stages at once in honor of the second anniversary. Just watch where you walk or stand, the employees are quick to steer you in the right direction. Can't wait to return soon.

This place has a lot of interesting people and they make the drinks either strong or very tasty-one or the other, that being said it's a little bit expensive to get drinks but very cheap to get in. Usually 1$. They have someone in the bathroom to give you toiletries or conversation like in fancy clubs although the experience lacks the fancy aspect. The kitchen makes delicious food for a good price! And they accept bitcoin which is very cool to me, and seems to think forward.

I shoulda known, but a fool is soon separated from his money. This is really no more than a bar with poles. Mixed variety of size, shape and talent of the "girls" That is the point. This is sex work. Real women in an everything has a price job. Guard your wallet. At least watch your tab. When you order one beer and you are billed for two... never mind the posted "charges". Consider them a low estimate

Went here with my boyfriend and male friend. It was early Halloween weekend, and the entry fee was way cheaper than spyce and the atmosphere was inviting. I had a lot of fun, and their drinks aren't super spendy. The dancers have some mad skills!!!

You know how when celebrities are on game-shows they always give this little spiel about which charity they're playing for? I feel that way every time I step up to a craps table with a rum and coke in hand. "My name is Jack Florence I'll be playing for the lovely the ladies of Portland's Kit Kat Club. It's a home for wayward girls conveniently located in the heart of downtown. The Kit-Kat Club helps encourage the ladies to take pride in their work with themed outfits and choreographed dances (the same way your grandfather enjoyed during his stint in navy.) All with the full nudity you know and love. And they give back to the community with reasonably priced lap dances at $20 each. It's really a wonderful organization and I'm proud to be here for them. They have flexible visiting hours, a full bar, and even some classy booths on the side you could use to convince yourself you're not here for one thing only. Or better yet, convince the missus (whatever that is) that this is an appropriate spot for date night." Awkward pause. Some guy who looks like Rick Ross at the other end of the table is starting to get annoyed, next to some frowning, elderly tourists. "A-YO! You gon shake 'em up or what son? I got the PASS LINE stacked up to heaven on your scrawny lily..." Luck, don't fail me now. I'm tryna come back on this point number the hard way and pay Clementine Darling's rent ASAP. Keep the ladies of Kit Kat over-employed until I get home, won't you?

Had a Fantastic time last night at the Kit Kat Club! The ladies are top notch performers. The ambiance is fun. The food looked almost as good as the dancers. Though we spent all our money in the talented ladies. Ask Baxter for a spot up front and heed his Warnings about not touching the ladies. You don't want to get thrown out! This place is lady-friendly. Bring your singles and get ready to see a phenomenal Burlesque/striptease/Acrobatic Pole-dancing show. It made our first night in Portland truly memorable.

Yeah I'm giving this place five stars and YES I am the GD duchess of here too! Damn skippy. First off, no cover. NO stupid cover. I hate covers. So no cover is very welcome. Second, the bartenders are super nice and pour a stiff drink for not too much. They even tolerate drunk morons much better than I would (ie tossing them out on their butts). It's fairly big with plenty of tables & booths to sit at as well as a lot of space at the rack. But the most important? The dancers are really freaking good. They have amazing pole skills - and isn't that what y'all are there for (and I suppose nakedness). I almost didn't want to review this place so it stays under the radar but hey, you're welcome.

Don't go here!!! There's a door fee (yep...even on a Tuesday) and the sandwiches are $15 a piece. It took 15min for the bartender (short dark hair and dimple piercings) to even acknowledge us. Finally we put our drink order in. 2 well vodka drinks mixed with red bull and orange juice came to $28!? I cancelled the food order chugged the drink and we left. We were out in Portland for the DMX concert at the Roseland. We got the same drinks for $12....at a concert! LOL! I told the guy who charged the door fee about the price of the drinks and how unhappy we were and he didn't seem surprised. On top of all of this, the only dancer we saw came out in street worn out sneakers with literally NO swx appeal. We ended up grabbing food from

Happened in here after a night of solid drinking on the Eastside - I don't even remember how we agreed to go to a strip club but lo and behold, here we were at midnight on a Saturday, sidling on in. We had no idea, but it just happened to be their one-year anniversary (birthday-versary?) and the club was packed. I'm hardly a strip club virgin, but not quite a pro, either - I've been to the requisite Portland institutions (Mary's, Devil's Point) and this was my first time at the Kit Kat. I had no idea what to expect, but being tipsy and easygoing I went in with an open mind and let myself be swept along. I was very pleasantly surprised! The space is large, with a main stage with a circular rail and a smaller side stage in the corner. The space was clean, not divey. The boys went to the side stage to get a little more, ahem, personal time with the dancers there but we girls stayed at the main stage/tables. As we'd been drinking all evening, we didn't order anything from the bar, but the servers came by frequently and checked in with us to make sure we weren't wanting for anything. The dancers were superb! I understand that it was their birthday-versary party so perhaps not every weekend is like this, but the performances were great. The girl dressed in Victoriana who dances on roller skates was incredible, as was Eve - she brought a live snake out to dance with her, and even the snake was super chill. The girls are gorgeous, have inventive routines and know how to work the pole. I'd definitely be back to try the bartenders' offerings and maybe get a bite from the dumpling window next door! The Kit Kat seems to be a solid addition to the PDX strip scene and I hope it sticks around.

Went here on a Saturday night with a group. I had a wonderful experience here. The dancers were beautiful and graceful working the poles. The bouncers were fair and friendly. The waitress was very friendly and helpful as well. I did not mind the $5 cover charge. I paid $6 for a Heineken. It was okay. The club is close to Voodoo Donut. Make sure you have your ID and $5 ready at the door. Like any strip joint, you cannot take pictures or use your phone inside. You are only allowed to check the time on your phone pretty much. Touching the dancers is a no no. If you sit close to the pole dancing stage, you are encouraged to give the dancers at least a dollar tip. There is also a lady walking around collecting tips for those who are shy to sit close to the stage. It got pretty crowded later on that night. It definitely was festive to be here that night. Definitely come for the shows because the performers are not only beautiful, but also very talented.

I had a great time. The dancers were good, the drinks were good, seating is okay. The lighting is typical, the bouncers are pretty laid back until you pull out a camera or touch the dancers. The rule seems to be at least 2 dollars a song from the beginning and each dancer has like 2 songs. They have everything from biker chick stuffs and cosplay (rogue from xmen or Queen of hearts) to the usual acrobatic stuff. What I feel they're missing is women that aren't white. I saw MAYBE 2 that weren't of the Caucasian persuasion. But they all did good. One of the dancers did the school girl thing, not feeling it but okay. Didn't try food, had to leave a beer that a dancer deep throated. I mean it was cool if you like that sort of thing. But let's be honest, I really waned my beer and eating a peach might be a little more dramatic for a chick there to see the dancers. Js

It is a decent bar, interesting and different, the girls all did decent stage dances. But security and management is a nightmare. They are aggressive, rude, and have no sense of customer service at all. I was not drinking that night (I was DD) but I was tipping the girls. I was changing a $5 for $1's with my friend sitting next to me, so I could keep tipping and suddenly the bouncer threw me out, saying that I had put he $5 down and picked it back up and that was against policy. He physically lifted me out of my seat and man-handled me out the door, like I had groped one of the girls or started a fight. Amateur hour, man. Looking at other reviews, this seems to be a common theme for the low star ratings.

Is this my favorite place to get a beer ever? Yes! They have a solid beer selection and very fast service. I can't say enough about how awesome this place is. The door guys are always kind and crack jokes. Door charge is I think a buck, but when I used my military ID before my husband's retirement, he thanked me and my family for our service and told me I could go in as there was no charge. To sit at the stage, it is $1 per song... But seriously... The performers here can just have all the cash I have on hand anytime. They're amazing. So talented, so nice and let's be honest, some of the best tattoos you'll ever see. The girls are just awesome. The MC's are always a kick and make you laugh. If you visit any of the clubs in Portland, this is #1 on my list.

Went with my wife to check out this club. The guy that waited outside the door asked for our IDs. My wife promptly handed hers over. After a few seconds reviewing it with a scrutiny that required a flashlight he handed it back croaking " I can't take this. Goodnight". I asked what the problem might be with our state issued IDs and he repeated himself. He completely shut us down and wouldn't respond to our queries. I can't really review the establishment because I was never allowed inside. I just thought that this bizarre experience should be written somewhere for people to read and consider.

The best entertainers and the classiest club in the city. Its not just a strip club, its a SHOWCLUB - With two themed cabaret performances nightly. This place is an exotic paradise! The girls behind the bar are amazing, (and sexier than most dancers in other clubs). Make sure you check this place out. Its the crown jewel of Portland strip clubs.

First time here, for a bachelorette and I was having the absolute time of my life with my friends (at least ten of us) BEFORE my bf and I decided to go back to the main stage, there was a girl there FULLY covered in tattoos with ombré black to blonde hair who was dancing and my bf was right in front of her so I GAVE HER A ONE DOLLAR BILL WITH MY KNITTED BEANIE in my hand and she SAID I TOUCHED HER BREAST. First of all I'm a mother. I'm respectful and I wouldn't have broken the rules when I'm with a party and I'm extremely sketched about breaking any rules!! She said to me after I told her that I definitely didn't touch her, "we can fight about it" and I was like "no I don't wanna fight" and she believed I truly touched her when I wouldn't do that to anyone ever. Im sad that this is the outcome of such an amazing club, she ruined it all. Thanks for the amazing women who earned my ones!!!!!

Walked into this club feeling a bit jaded because the interior was NOT what I expected. Upon first approach, Kit Kat gives up a 'hole in the wall' appearance since it's located in a somewhat sketchy plaza. But, lo and behold, walk in to view a spacious and swanky club with low lighting that gives off a sultry and sexy appeal. We purchased our drinks at the bar and sat at a round table a little ways away from the racks. This is no ordinary strip club because the girls here possess extraordinary talent and come into work with the ultimate goal of providing the best entertainment possible. There were three girls on the night I went and I can say I was easily WOW-ed and mesmerized by them all. Each dancer had their own personality and flair. They also put so much effort into each of their routines and made sure to work that pole like the true dancers they were. My goodness, I was completely captivated by the asian girls' performance to Banks' 'Waiting Game'. I have flash backs to this day. ;) All in all, classy strip club with beyond talented ladies. If I'm ever in Portland again, I'll be sure to hit this club up again, but hopefully on a weekend (since it was dead on a Monday night).

I've been a busy beaver and haven't reviewed in a while. And yes, I used the word beaver in this review. Setting out with 8 or 9 friends to celebrate Nat'l Stripper Appreciation Day, we went first to the Acropolis for dinner then headed to the famous Kit Kat Club. This place is awesome! The entrance fee is $1. The staff are proffesional and friendly. The girls are talented as shit! There is some serious balancing, contortioning, and even an amazing act where the MC dude was throwing and catching one girl as took on amazing poses. There are supposedly two side stages, but I only saw one in addtion to the main stage. Bathrooms are odd, not bad, not dirty, just kind of odd. Drinks are $5 which aint bad. We had a superb time. Everyone was seriously entertained, and often rather tittilated. Mostly smaller and tattooed girls but so very lovely and not at all the sort of tacky thing (strangers' junk directly in my face) that makes me run the other direction. This is what a strip club ought to be!

Kit Kat Club is what strip clubs used to be, and what they should be again. It's not just about some girl strutting on stage, rude demanding bouncers, stupid $2 bill policies, and constant hectoring from the ladies to get a dance. It should be about an overall experience, and they definitely nail that here. First off, no cover. Cover at strip clubs is a stupid thing. Second, the bartenders are fast and the drinks are reasonably priced. That should also be standard everywhere, but sadly it's not. Third, the layout is great, with a main stage, a side stage and then a platform above the booths in the back that opens up every once and a while with two poles. No rack. Just for show. Love it. On Friday and Saturday nights, they put on actual shows with an emcee who hops on stage every 30 minutes or so and introduces an actual themed act - from a girl singing (then stripping) to various costumes and performance pieces. It's entertaining. It harkens back to a pre-gonzo age, and it's kind of refreshing. Also the regular dancers have some serious pole skills. Talk about core strength! Ladies aren't pushy, dances aren't overpriced, and all in all, it's a solid damn experience. It's much more appropriate for a group of friends (like I usually travel in) that includes ladies. Because it's almost as much about the performance as it is about the nudity. And that's where it should be.

Entertaining for sure! The girls here really put thought into their routines. Didn't like how they came around with a bucket when I first sat down though. I spend lots of money on girls when I sit at the rack so that seemed pushy to me. Awesome atmosphere and swanky set up.

Am I really writing a review for this? Yes. Did I have a wonderful birthday weekend-you bet I did and this joint really kicked it off to a whole new level for me. First timer here and I don't know if my face gave it all away that night or what but I will say that the clown made my night and will leave an imprint with me for the rest of my life so thank you for that. I wish I knew who you were so I could thank you but for now I will just say that I appreciate you and am happy to have crossed your path haha. Maybe I'll visit you again one day Kit Kat Club hopefully soon :)

This review is mainly for Midwesterners, Southerners, etc., visiting the Pacific Northwest: So this is your typical Portland strip club. Which in Portland is basically the same as saying "typical club" since, in Portland (said to be home to more strip clubs per capita than any other city in America), the main thing that distinguishes a strip club from any old mainstream dance club is simply the presence of naked ladies accepting dollar bills. I visited here on my first full day visiting PDX, stopped in with a buddy and his lady friend after having some drinks at the nearby Shanghai Tunnel, in the city's downtown nightlife district. Co-ed excursions to strip clubs are famously commonplace in Portland, and treated as casually as a suggestion to stop by Kuma's would be in Chicago (nb: strippers in PDX are aesthetically indistinguishable from bartenders at Kuma's --being tattooed and heavily pierced is almost the norm here, not the exception). There was no cover to enter, the girls are fully nude, universally hot/toned/athletic, and they serve alcohol. Not just MGD and Bud Lite, or whatever generic crap the clouted up distributor forces on such places in the Midwest, but quality craft microbrews on several taps, with full shelves of hard liquor behind them. In fact, I didn't see a single person holding a Budweiser product the entire time we were there. Also, strip clubs are so mainstream in Portland that the clientele is split almost evenly between guys and girls. I'd say when we visited it was probably closer to 60/40, but still, very unlike most such places in the Midwest, where it's 75/25 on a good night (hell, as of this writing, the majority of the 20 reviews for this place are from women). There were two stages going, and at one of them the eight or so patrons at the rail were *all* women (perhaps a bachelorette party or workplace outing of some sort, as they all seemed to know each other). The dancers were all personable and fun, and all seemed to be enjoying their jobs. No one seemed surly, dopesick, etc. The most unique thing about the Kit Kat Club, by Portland standards anyhow, was the presence of a heavily tattooed little pixie of a dancer with the body of an Olympic gymnast who, as part of her floor routine, picked up a box of Marlboro Reds with her toes, opened it, pulled out a cigarette, stuck it in her mouth -all with her toes!! -then, again with the feet, picked up a Bic lighter, lit it, and continued to puff on it while doing her show. (I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to smoke indoors in PDX, but who was gonna complain?). That is, obviously, an impossible act to follow up and the girl who was up next said as much, and then proceeded to try anyhow. She was extremely enthusiastic in her attempt, and by the time she was done the three of us had basically taken all the cash we had and just dumped it onto the stage. So, if you're visiting Portland, Kit Kat Club is a pretty good exemplar of the many wonderful, laid back and entirely non-creepy strip clubs the city has to offer. There are many (countless) others, too many to try in one visit, but you will not go wrong in starting your explorations here. EDIT: Forgot to mention that they take BitCoin. I have no idea how tipping a stripper in BitCoinage would work, but if you have some, this would be the place to find out.

I came here with my fiancé and my parents in the afternoon around 5-6pm and there was a reasonable group of patrons at the bar even for a Sunday afternoon. There were about 4 girls on the rotation at that time and they were awesome, some great pole work and acrobatics. One of the girls was lackluster and boring but 3/4 dancers being awesome is great for a strip club. Yeah it costs money to tip all the girls but they're hard working entertainers and deserve to be paid well for their performances. If you are going to complain about tipping dancers then don't go to a strip club

Okay, so I've seen a lot of Cirque du Soleil, and while I'm not saying nude dancers are the same as world-traveling acrobats ... let's just say I would be the same level of entertained and amazed sitting at the stage here as sitting under that stripey tent. ALL of the ladies were fabulous, which is unusual enough in itself, but they were also athletic, graceful, and humorous, as well! I love that they have so much freedom in how they want to perform. My favorite was probably the Spirited Away monster. The ONLY downside is that now all the clubs where I live are not even worth going to. Seriously, it's been months and anytime the boyfriend and I think of going to watch some dancing, we end up saying 'Nope, no point. Everything is a disappointment after that.' If there were a place like the Kit Kat Club near my house, I would be begging for a job there. Keep it up!

Wanted to suprise my husband and take him to a fun strip club, but this was definitely not the place! Girls were poor quality and to top it off the bartender was extremely rude and the drinks were awful!! Will NOT be returning.

Bouncers are assholes. Girls shove tip buckets in your face every five minutes and make you feel like shit if you don't tip every time. Bar tender was rude and clearly hates her life. The vibe of this place sucks. There are soooo many better clubs in Portland. DO NOT COME HERE.

A group of us were here Friday night... Seamed "ok" friendly bouncers, fast bar service, and fair priced drinks. In the video poker area a few of us were congregated and a friend bumped one of the drinks that had been left next to the video poker machine spilling a full beer and the glass it was in broke. Complete accident and wouldn't happen if the video poker area had been cleaned up. Promptly a bartender /waitress comes over infuriated! Tells me not to stand or walk through the spill... Mind you, I was spilled on my foot was completely soaked. This employee was screaming at us to get out shit together and demand to know who dropped their drink because they needed to leave. We repeated to her we all had our drinks in our hand that it had been bumped she proceeded to tell us we were about to be physically removed from the club. When asked why she said she would personally remove us! My friend had choice words for her and the bouncer escorted her out. Very politely even sided with my friend the waitress was having a bad night. She definitely should not work with people or in a bar... Shit like this happens all the time. We paid a cover to be treated like complete shit by a bitch on a power trip. We'll never be back

After my friend invited me to hang out at Dante's across the street with his friends, a few of them worked at Kit Kat club so we dropped by to check it out. Beautiful talented dancers, great music, very friendly bar staff. A must if you are looking for a gentlemen's club.

I like to think I'm open-minded and adventurous, but when it came to a last minute decision to head inside The Kit Kat Club I got a little apprehensive. I'd be lying if I said I'd never been to a strip club before, but it usually takes some drinks and time to get used to the idea. The Kit Kat club is no standard Portland strip club though. In fact I actually hate calling it a strip club at all considering it's more entertainment than I've had at many other places. These girls are not simply dancers; they're performers. They're bright eyed and have a personalities. Even the door guy was pleasant. Don't be fooled by the "hole in the wall" look of the front door. The place opens up to a large room with lots of tables and a long bar. The decor is classy and clean and the clientele wasn't creepy. While it wasn't very busy for a late Wednesday night adventure I can imagine that this place is packed on weekends. We WILL return and we WILL bring friends

I don't drink and I've never been to a strip club before, but a friend of mine was visiting from out of town and dragged me here. As I said before, I had never been to a strip club, so I had no idea what they were like. My only experience with them is what I've seen in movies and TV shows like The Sopranos. Needless to say, I kinda expected them to be somewhat shady and possibly filled with nefarious mobster-types. Yet after spending 5 minutes in the Kit Kat Club, I quickly began to realize all those negative stereotypes I had conjured in my head were completely false. The dancers were all great (and extremely beautiful), the building was actually a lot cleaner and nicer than most bars I've been to, and there was a diverse selection of people in the crowd. I didn't see anyone who looked like Tony Soprano, but I did meet a young guy on the verge of graduating med school, as well as a lot of open-minded couples where both the guys and their girlfriends were enjoying the performers. I got my first-ever lapdance from a super-cute girl wearing glasses named Sasha. She was absolutely adorable and the lapdance was totally worth it. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm usually broke, I would definitely come here more often. The only reason why I gave this place four stars instead of five is because it's the only strip club I've ever been to and I have nothing else to compare it to. I can't really give it the "as good as it gets" 5 star rating until I've experienced what else is out there. But let me just say that I have a hard time believing any other place could stack up as well as this one.
