Rick's Cabaret Portland

After having visited many similar establishments up and down the East Coast, I am basing this review comparatively. I went for the first time on a Saturday night, and was greeted and welcomed by security who were some of the most genuine, caring individuals in the building. As it being my first time, they offered me tours, some different informational guides, where everything was located, etc. A+ performance on the generosity and the ability to make others feel comfortable in this space. This also includes, the waitresses and bartender, who, as well as security always came to check on customer with a thumbs up if you need anything. The performers did a fantastic job on stage, with some quality pole dancing skills, and having slight interactions with customers sitting on the edge of the stage. But... as soon as their couple of songs were over, 85% of the performers went to the raised VIP area and hid from all human interaction from customers. I never once was approached by a performer to interact with. Extremely disappointed with the business model of "get on stage perform and your done working until your back up again." I've never seen this anywhere else, as most performers work their tails off for customer interaction for more profit such as chit chatting, asking where their from, what brings you hear etc etc. If you've never been to a gentleman's club before and this place is your first time, you'll still be drooling over the sights you see on stage and you'll be fine with that. There's really something to be said about southern hospitality. It truly is a shame the lack of drive and motivation from these performers to waste away the night hiding when they could be so much more profitable just by having a friendly conversations with customers and "of course" acting like they are interested. 5 stars for the security, bartenders, and waitresses though! Performers should go on a field trip and take notes.

I don't have any complaints. The doorman is cool, very polite and chill, security is cool, very genuine decent guys. The women are for the most part gorgeous, and do their jobs well, they work hard, they try a little to hard to upsale the private dances. I was pleased. My favorite was the gorgeous blonde with the big smile. I'd spend thousands on that ass. 😉

Had a great time last night! I wanted to give a shout out to Jason the bouncer made my first time easy and comfortable and was always willing to go out of his way to please the customer! I will definitely be back with a Groomsman party at some point!

Place was not welcoming. My wife and I came in to just have some fun and they said our clothing wasn’t acceptable. I was wearing 5k in clothing but my sweatpants wasn’t okay I guess. They were very rude about it and basically were like yeah sucks to suck. Terrible place to not accept people based off what they are wearing…

Andrew the restroom attendant is top notch. Nobody, hands you a paper towel with more precision and efficiency than Andrew, the man deserves a raise!
