X Exotic Lounge, Portland OR

Allegedly there was a DJ but a random Spotify playlist would have been better. Expensive drinks for the environment. One of the most costly door fees. Do not recommend, better venues walking distance.

Came on vacation, checked the reviews and decided on this place. Bouncer & Bartender were fine, no complaints there. The DJ was mediocre and didn't really supplement the atmosphere this place is trying to have. Saw a couple dancers, fave was the first one, went downhill from there honestly. One almost fell and barely tried from there, very pretty though. The last one that danced is why we left. You can see the crusty piercings and you could tell they didn't want to be there.

The best thing about this place was getting our drinks fast. If you want a Vegas club, just go to Vegas.

I had the worst time last night. Me and my friend gets in the club we order drinks and we are talking and security stops and stares at us like a hawk. Then we tipped a 1$ each and then he comes to harass us father treating to kick us out because we are not throwing money. When explained I did he called me a lier and suggested I should leave. We were the only black customers in there and and harrassed the entire time. I never experienced anything like this at this club in particular. I would highly suggest you not going this could happen to you

Love love love this place, I came by during a slower day on the week and the staff and dancers were extremely nice, drinks were standard downtown prices but the cover fee was not that bad. Even got a lap dance from one of the girls. Will be back for girls night out

Everyone “reminds” you to tip even when you have been tipping. Mediocre dj. Bartender doesn’t follow a line (just kind of serves whoever). No ID check at the door. Oh, and strippers and security will tell you to tip if your sitting there for more than 2 minutes. Go around the corner to the other strip club. You won’t be pressured to tip and you will actually be able to relax and enjoy yourself with good service. This place is not it.

I've been going to X Exotic Lounge since I arrived in Portland. It used to be called Bar 15 and they had a bartender named Mo who was amazing. The dancers are friendly, the DJs are awesome, and the music is always on point. But what really blew me away was the food - it was delicious! I want to give a special shout-out to FlightClubPdxVip for serving me some amazing Smoked Mac n Cheese and a Pineapple bowl with jerk chicken and mixed veggies that was out of this world. I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a fun night out with great music and delicious food.
