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.
