After spending 10 years avoiding strip clubs, I decided to try Casa. Boy was I glad I did. The girls are great. No flabby, fakes. 100% Hot, friendly, and they really give an amazing show. Free Pool, chess, and a heated smoking area add to a great time. Johny is very gracious and welcoming.

When I look around, I think that the devil would be as comfortable and welcome as we are here. He would love the theme, the red lights, the great artwork, and the amazing girls.

BTW, there is one there that has a tat of a red heart with black wings. When she dances under the red lights, her heart disapears. Its amazing the transformation.

If you dont enjoy casa diablo, pull the stick out of your ass or give up on women.

2nd time i been to this place.and Its the bestest one i been so far.Everyone has been nothing but friendly since i been there.The dancers are a really friendly,not your typical hustler.Some are but Hey, they are just doing their Job.The Food is good I had one Burger there so far,i never ate at any Bar,Pub before and yeah they are Vegans but the Burger still tasted like any normal one ha.Totally recomended it to everyone.

Stopped in here with a couple of friends, ended up practically staying the night! We all fell in love with the place, great girls, super sexy! I have never been to a strip club like this ever, and will definitely be returning. . . perhaps this time I'll even bring the boyfriend!

This place is often slow businesswise because it's out of the way. This means strippers will talk to you. They really want you to buy a $35 lapdance but considering there's a place called Carnaval downtown that gives you a $10 topless couch dance or $20 full nude couch dance, it doesn't seem worth it. Sorry people. But there's a lot of other things I can do with $35. But for a couple of bucks on the stage the dancers might grab your head and beat it with her boobs. That always gets points in my book. And the topless bartender is a total bonus.

The owner is good at chess s if you're out of practice don't bother. There's a pool table and free wifi. I don't eat a lot at strip clubs but the food is all vegan. I'm not even vegetarian so this doesn't do much for me. Though I appreciate those who do live that way, it's better for the earth and such. I just am a picky eater and like my meat. the owner does give a little bit of that used car salesman scumbag vibe but all in all I think he's just a guy makin' a buck who has no more and no less respect for women then I do. Okay, maybe a little less as going to strip clubs is a guilty pleasure and not a full time occupation, but none-the-less, he makes himself available in a way to be judged along with his establishment so I give him props for that. I will be back, just not sure when because it is way out there if you're biking. If you're driving it's just a few minutes away.

WOW. The girls here are amazing. They come down off the stage and give lapdances during their show, the most attention you can get in town without getting a private dance. Well worth the drive. Best dancers in town.

After hearing the rave reviews about this place, I was pretty excited to stop by in here to check it out. I was hoping that it was a lot better than the Pirate's Tavern that used to be here before.

This place wasn't horrible but it wasn't impressive either.

Lets start with bad: -The super short bar just felt awkward when ordering drinks. -The lighting is just horrible... seriously there are enough strip clubs in this town to learn from on how to light your place. -No credit cards? Really? What are we in 1980? I bring cash for the girls, not for my drinks. -The walk to the patio to smoke was kind of pointless to me. I can see the patio, I can see people drinking and smoking on the patio, but yet I have to walk all the way to the entrance to get to the patio. It's easier to walk to the parking lot. -Vegan? I doubt it. The bar menu consisted of Cheeseburgers, Chili, and Sloppy Joes. I know that you can have vegan burgers but cheese is not vegan. Also, I know there is vegan Chili but how the hell do you make sloppy joes vegan? Isn't that just a ketchup sandwich?

The good: -I really like the stage. Much better than most strip clubs where it is just a circle with a pole. I can see that if this place got busy, you could easily get 2 girl shows going on. -The drinks were fairly stiff after tipping the bartender. -The girls really work for there tips. They really try to work there customers and do pole tricks which seems to be less and less common these days.

Overall, I think this place is going to go down the road of the Pirate's Tavern. I went in on a Fri night and the place was less than 25% filled. It's too far out to go for a mediocre club. This town has too many clubs that are actually in decent locations for me to go back again.

Girls with great attitude. Some flabby, some slim but look for the beauties. They will show you a good time, including the manager who is probably the most customer friendly I have ever seen in a strip joint. Beer is OK. I would rather have a plain salad than the vegan here.

Casa Diablo rocks, plain and simple. My friends and I went there for our last stop on the bachelor party tour, and it was great because we did save the best for last. Bianca Boru and Miss Love put on the sexist two-girl set one could ask for... very hot! I definitely recommend asking them to do a two-girl private dance set, well worth the money and you will leave very satisfied with the experience... both girls were extremely sexy, very accomodating, and very nice to boot! The staff is great, very courteous and professional to their clients. We will be back, even without the excuse of a bachelor party... we're from Seattle, and this club and their dancers is better than what we have around here, no doubt.

i think casa is one of the cleanest clubs in Portland, its a great place to dance and johnny is awesome. the music is always good and the food is very good...even if your not vegan. i love this place and i cant wait to go back.

From a dancer's perspective, Casa Diablo is a great place to work and a nice addition to the Portland strip club scene. I've been dancing in the Portland area for several years, and I've worked in nearly every strip bar, large and small, in this great city! Here's my impression of the plusses and minuses of Casa:

Here are the Plusses: 1.) Non-smoking, yet it has a fabulous smoking patio, so smokers and non-smokers can both have a good time.

2.) Genuine, pleasant, and professional bar staff and owner. Everyone that works there has treated me with fairness and respect for what I do and how hard my job is sometimes. I'm pretty comfortable just being myself here, which in stripper talk speaks volumes about the place.

3.) Unlike nearly all other Portland clubs, no seedy drug scene, skanky prostitutes, or high drama dancers (and believe me, I've seen it all in my dancing career, so this is really a triump).

4.) Vegan. While I'm not vegan myself, I'm also not offended by people and businesses that are vegan (it's a free country, after all). Everyone there knows I'm not vegan, and its never been an issue. (However, I do refrain from wearing silk.) I've become addicted to the Diablo burgers!! Additionally, Casa has generated a lot of hype because of its unique business format, and people come to Casa who otherwise might not visit a strip club at all. I've met quite a few travelers who came just to visit the world's first vegan strip club!

5.) The money. Being that I'm on the receiving end of the cash flow there. . .the money has to be good for me to keep coming back. Yes, the dances are more that the PDX norm of $20, but they're couch dances (versus table dances), and trust me, worth every extra penny. . .

And here are the minuses: 1.) Its a strip club in Portland. Casa, like all the other clubs around, has the unfortunate task of trying to earn a profit in a city where the money is just spread too thin. And like all the other clubs around, Casa can be prone to things like slow periods. I recently worked a shift at another club which stood completely empty for three hours, and I've found that there are no strip clubs around that are consistently busy. In addition to uneven business flow, Casa sometimes has to deal with things like flakey dancers, cheap customers, and other typical strip club issues. This is not an easy industry!!

2.) Not everyone likes the vegan aspect. For some reason, sometimes customers are insulted by the vegan menu. Why in the world they take this personally, especially when there are ten million other clubs in town and Portland is supposed to be "alternative friendly," is beyond me, but they do complain sometimes. I've long since given up trying to understand men, I just make my money off of them. . .

3.) It's in an industrial neighborhood, of which most Portlanders are not familiar. It's actually quite close to downtown and the NW neighborhoods, but it can be hard to find if you don't have good directions or a map.

Casa Diablo is a little out of the way, but I've grown to quite like it. The food is better than I expected for being vegan and most is $5 or less. Alcohol prices are average, and the bartender Jessica is quite good (and hot). She makes a wicked Tuaca Sidecar.

The owner Johnny is friendly yet unobtrusive, generally offering to shoot pool with you or even go a round of chess. He spends a lot of time getting to know his customers, which is admirable.

The DJs play a good selection and hip-hop seems to be excluded from the playlists. Also noteworthy is that the DJ doesn't beg the audience to pay the strippers, every 30 seconds. More clubs would do well to follow suit.

My only real complaint is that lap dances are $35 (!!!) and the lap dance room is so dark that you can't see the girl that's right in front of you.

Overall, I recommend it.

I really like this place! The location is out of the mainstream, but easy to get to. It's less than a mile and a half from the Fremont Bridge, so if I'm somewhere on 23rd, casa Diablo is my next stop. Johnny welcomes me like family, the girls are hot, and they have a really nice pool table, which is free. I LOVE that I can enjoy pool, beer, and hot naked girls without stinking of cigarette smoke.

Well, I guess I'm in the minority, as usual! I rather like the place! The two bartenders, day and night, have been great! The owner, Johhny, also has been really cool with me! I never was in here, when it was the Pirates Cove, so I don't have any correlation to offer, but as I've stated, he's been good to me! Maybe, if you naysayers learned to tip, a little better, you might start having better experiences, wherever you go! Lighting does suck and the food, well, I like meat, so I can't comment. My drinks are always good, but it's hard to mess up a shot of Maker's Mark and a beer, no matter where I go! Anyway I will be going back and did just last night! Happy 420, to Karla, Jesse, Johnny and several of the dancer's!

Horrible food, the owner was an ass, the lighting terrible & drinks were to much $$$. The only things the place had going for it were the girls and the smoke free atmosphere.

Buy a drink, get a free 'lunch' served all day, The food was perfectly fine, the fries were slightly salty, but were nicely crisp and not your soggy type.

Johnny came up to us and talked to us when we first came in there and explained things.

The women were hot, but several of them seemed a bit concentrated on chit chatting to get a lap dance from the customers. For awhile, we were concerned the women weren't going to take all of their clothes off, but that turned out to be just a couple of them.

Yes, the women like to place their legs on your shoulders and so on...I would have never thought a person would complain about that, at a strip club.

Another smoke-free club just opened up — Lucky Devil Lounge. They do have a patio where you can smoke. The girls are hot and the staff seems cool.

I've been a vegan for 14 years, but what drew me to this place was that is the only smoke-free strip club I've ever heard of in Portland.

Places like the Magic Garden and Mary's have great girls, but I can't deal with the blue-cloud of death.

Casa Diablo has terrible lighting. There's a huge neon beer sign on the far wall, so if you're at an of the tables that flow along the long dance floor, all you're going to see are silhouettes.

The food was decent. I didn't get any free food for buying a drink, as was advertised on their website and tv news interview.

One stripper with huge fake knockers would put her legs over the shoulders of guys sitting up at the stage, with her ass or crotch centimeters from their face, and then wiggle around. This is with half her weight on their shoulders.

I ordered a Hennessy, which was underpoured into a regular glass, and charged $6 for the small sip.

The owner came out, leaning on my friends' chair, with some unwanted chatter. I mentioned having been to the pirate's tavern, though I didn't mention I had gotten burned so bad there I had vowed never to return (that would have been paying $10 for a meal which I think the chef accidentally poured a half-shaker of salt into my "pirate burger").

I had been to the Pirate's Tavern four or five times while I worked at Montgomery Park, for lack of vegan options. Each time the service was absolutely terrible, the food was way overpriced, and the area is the pits.

While he was hanging over our table, I mentioned to the owner of Casa Diablo that the Pirate's Tavern likely went out of business due to the location, to which he replied that people made a 3 hour drive from Seattle to eat there. Well, if it was so great, it would still be around, wouldn't it? Evidently, this guy owned that, too.

The girls were not worth it, the food was not worth it, and the drive out to the boonies was not worth it.
