Mary's Club, Portland OR

This is my first time at this place. I’m from out of town. Anyway, I ordered a beer and gave the bar tender a $50 bill. The bar tender returns and states that she may have dropped some money, but she picked it up and I should have all of the change. She wants me to show her the last bill. Then I get a weird feeling that she really didn’t give me most of my change back. I count it and of course it’s not all there and most of it is missing. She gave me $7 back from the $50. I told her about it she goes to the register and comes back again and still doesn’t have the correct change. I had wait for over 5 minutes to get the correct change and there were barely any people at the bar. Then this happened. The dancer came on stage and after her several customers that were in a large group came in. I threw some money on stage and then the song ended and another song began and I threw some money on stage for her. Then the large group of customers that came in started throwing money on stage, so guess what that dancer did. She turned completely away from me and focused most of her dancing on the group of guys. How rude? I had tipped her and purchased beer with money that I worked hard for and just wanted to go out and have a good time, but yet all I got was a bunch of disrespect and bad service. Seriously only go here if you don’t care about having good service or watching a dancer that doesn’t really care about her customers.

We didn't eat anything this time. But every time we come to PDX, we make a point of stopping at Mary's club.
The new place is beautiful yet feels like the old place.
Wish we could have stayed longer, maybe next time

Some A$$hat (opinions, fun!) called the ladies there "Pole Workers" in some magazine. The Dancers (and mixologist? +) are amazing. I've been lucky to catch some great shows!

The dancers pick their own music too, which I love. (No into/hype person) May be an insight into their personality, persona, and/or mood on that night.

Food is bomb diggity too. Can't go wrong with most anything.

Every time I've been, security on site for everyone's safety.

I've been to the old location and miss the history behind the original but the new location is pretty cool too.

Just my 2 cents. Go and find out for yourself.

Horrible experience! First the bouncer looks homeless and asking for 2.00 cover charge makes you seem all that more bogus! Then when we were into the establishment! I call it an establishment only because it was a building with a business.
We were allowed to buy a drink but once our female companion tried to tip the dancer $21 dollars we were kicked out because the other three people were at the bar instead of sniffers row! And the ladies were sniffable from way further than front row if you know what I'm saying! Save your money and go to Dontes! Way better atmosphere! Not a strip club but you won't get an STD just from walking in the place! The only good reviews are from before the move or by strippers trying to keep the reviews good. Just a horrible experience!

Sascha (with the blue hair) was sooo amazing. My wife and I had so much fun there this weekend!

Best club around! Kind and friendly staff, great food, and great drinks! Recommend to everyone!

We were hanging out in Portland and saw this place on the way to meet up with three other friends.who ended up joining us. We're all from Texas. My husband and I moved to Oregon 10 months ago. We drove from Springfield to Portland just to hang out with them. Five of our friends were on tour with their band, and we hadn't seen them in a while. Their show was canceled due to a horrible accident. So, we decided to spice some things up and turn the night around. We thought we would give this place a try. There were 10 in our party and the answer is YES.we had fun. The beers were cold. The service was AMAZING.and the dancers were SUPER COOL & SUPER FREAKING GORGEOUS! I have ZERO complaints about this place. My husband and I will definitely be back.oh.and if you could.tell the bouncer. THANKS for being super cool at the end of the night. Trying to get 7 musicians out of a bar is complicated.you really had your work cut out for you. Hahaha.
I definitely will recommend this place to everyone we know, and we will be visiting again. Our buddy got a photo with the bartenders and bouncer before we left. Wish we would have thought about getting one with you guys! Cheers!

I gave this place another chance and once again was disappointed. The staff is so rude. The “dancers” are dull, boring, and pretentious. I thought this place was world famous, why?
Also, the area of town that this place is in is incredibly dangerous. The bar staff doesn’t seem to realize. They act like they are the fanciest thing ever but there’s someone doing d*ug on the sidewalk outside and someone across the street just got stabbed so why are we acting holier than thou?

It was a nice, quiet atmosphere with a very chill vibe. The dancers were spicy and extremely pleasant to be around and talk to. Especially Jade.

Girls are spicy hot. And cute. And very nice. And the music doesn’t suck. Ahh a lil piece of heaven.

(UPDATE: bartenders from this establishment are sending me bullying messages saying really horrible things about a friend of mine that passed away) -I’ve been putting off writing an accurate review of Mary’s because the manager likes to argue with negative reviewers. Which in my opinion, is incredibly unprofessional. So when Virginia puts a response under this, take it with a huge grain of salt. I worked here for 6.5 years and was very loyal. I participated in almost every charity show they threw for dancers in need. In the past few years I’ve been unmasking and coming out about my chronic illnesses. 2022 was an especially bad year and the environment in downtown Portland has changed drastically into something kinda dangerous. These changes caused me to experience symptoms to a dibilitating degree for 6 months. I lost countless amounts of money and many things in my life collapsed. These people never tried to help me, or even give their support. I was accused of lying about tip outs after shifts, and my symptoms were chocked up to “eradic behavior”. Virginia fired me and had everyone cut off contact. As a previously closeted disabled person, this destroyed my life as I knew it. I still haven’t been able to pay rent since this happened. So, when you support this place, you aren’t supporting a community, you’re supporting a group of mean girls packaged to look like a “family”. They charge customers 8$ for fake drinks for dancers that don’t want to drink that night, and they’re just in it for themselves. I’ve danced in Portland for 11 years and I know that there are better and more genuine entertainers and staff elsewhere. Remember, take the argument that will most definitely appear under this review, with a whole shaker of salt.

I just want to give this place stars since my love goes here! I would love to come and show my support the next time I’m in town.

The new location is weird and uses the space poorly.the bar staff blatantly ignored me and my group for a solid 15min while we were standing at the bar waiting to get ones and drinks.there was only one dancer who was friendly to us, even though we were the only people sitting at the rack and we were all tipping at least 5$ per song.the friendly dancer was also the only one who wasn't incredibly emaciated.i've never been more turned off in a strip club.
