BarFly's Review of The Viewpoint
The only bar in the northwest to boast male and female entertainment - for good reason, we'd imagine; need the bachelor/bachelorette parties really ride-share? - The Viewpoint's also the largest club 'round these parts and prides itself upon personal attention from dancers of either gender. There's a clean, modern-Vegas'y atmosphere with well-attended Texas Hold-em nights while microbrew taps and poorly-designed private areas add that local touch.
Happy Hours
Well, as you may or may not, be able to tell, from the subject title, I have spent an inordinate amount of time at the Viewpoint! I am friends with just about everyone there and will continue hanging out for quite sometime! I'm a huge fan of dark almost creepy places and this place fits the bill! It's replaced the Magic Garden's, as my home away from home, as it is much closer to my real one! I first came into this club a couple years ago and immediately liked it! The bartenders are fantastic and usually the prettiest women in the club! Since this is my main reason for going to clubs in the first place, drinking that is, I really appreciate having a great bartender! The dancers are fun to, but as I've said, that's not why I'm there. The new owner seems to be learning as he goes, which is a good sign, at least he can learn! Caio!
Neither I nor my wife had even been to a strip club before this one. She had a girl friend with more experience come along, just so we wouldn't feel totally lost, and her friend says it's the best one she's seen. It had both men and women, and the men especially put on an excellent show for the ladies in our group. Then she bought me a public lap dance with "maryland" who tied me to the pole and whipped me with a belt onstage for my wife's viewing pleasure. The drinks were a bit pricey, but mixed strong. Altogether, a wonderful night. Good for special occasions.

The service is slow except for one person and the dj's are rude. The strippers are wicked and out of shape(mostly). Management has their head in the clouds. No wonder this club is soooo.... dead.

Man this place is creepy. We went there on a weeknight recently and I think that I am still having weird nightmares. You know that one from twin peaks with the dancing dwarf talking backwards?
Anyway the girls were not attractive, the drinks were pretty bad (although the bartender was pretty cool), and I am pretty sure that a combination drug deal and domestic squabble was going down in one of those mid-late 80s model White Ford Econoline Vans in the parking lot next to my car.
Other than that a magical evening.
Arrive around 10PM on Wednesday night. The club has about dozen or more patrons. There club have 3 stages but only 2 dancers are dancing at a time (as expected for club of this size on a not-so-busy weekday). The six dancers in general are decent looking to kind of attractive; they range from slender to fuller figure while couples of them have cute face. There was very little "in your face" action for stage dances partly because the rack has raised edge which makes it hard for the dancers to lie on the rack and be creative. However, there are still ways to getting closer to the audience and very few of them do try to do that. The poles were also a foot in diameter so the dancers can't really climb or hang onto the pole like in other clubs. And the steaks are possibly one of the worse I’ve tried, they where extremely greasy and taste bland. The service was fairly prompt at the bar. There weren't any TV near by the stages but there are some video pokers if you're bored. I think the club is decent consider the number of dancers on the Wednesday night but the stage action is only mildly exciting.

I still say its the management. The guy with the accent especially. I think the girls are okay. I would buy a dance from sugar, although when I was there I didn't. I was so turned off by the people running it I left before I could.

This place sucks! Most of the women, or should I say girls look like anorexic pre-teens. Is that really the kind of girls portland wants? Sugar especially seemed to get all the attention with her "zero tits" and okay ass. What is up with that? If I were some dude in a relationship with this type of girl, that's a totally different story. At least I'll have made some sort of connection with the anorexic looking girl. If I'm going to pay to see a naked chick, I want something to look at other than another wall!

weak, over-priced drinks when i was there...$13.50 for a double vodka/redbull that was actually a single, i had three and didn't even get a buzz, but i did get a BIG surprise when i got the bill. i guess that's my fault for not asking, so i would suggest asking the price BEFORE you order. a couple hot girls, and only a few were truly entertaining. have the strippers ever heard of learning how to pole dance?

For a Monday maybe it was a fluke but this place was busy! Played the Texas Holdem and hung out with a "Avian"? The staff were approachable and friendly and they had well over a dozen girls on. This place is great! Thank you Alice for the great drinks.

We weren't sure what to expect when booking my best friend's Bachelorette Party here. Let's face it, there aren't many strip clubs for the ladies out there!! Having done Darcelle's before, we decided to give the Viewpoint a chance. We weren't impressed with the reservation process. It took numerous phone calls, from several different people, to get our party booked. Then booking the limo was whole other pain in the ass. However, once it was taken care of, everything else was GREAT! (Had it not been for the crappy reservation process, service would of been a '10'). We had Ectasy (Cory) drive us, and he's great!! He was so great, we selected him to give my friend her 'lap dance'. The other dancers were really good too. It happened to be a slow night, so we got LOTS of personal attention. The staff was friendly too, and drinks were great. If you're looking for a place to entertain ladies, go here BEFORE Darcelle's. You won't be disappointed!

I went to the Texas Hold Em at this place this past weekend. Lost my shorts but had a great time. The service was ok, but the place looked great! I sat next to a guy that was cracking jokes and just hanging out. Had no idea who the hell he was until someone told me he was the owner. I had no idea! He was low key and interacted with everyone and everyone seemed to like him. The girls were attractive and we had topless dealers! That was a kick! All in all I had a great afternoon. As for "The Man" comment, geriatric people are afraid of change. Seniors like "the man" disparage others that have actually accomplished something in life. The owners have fought to make this club into a safe club for you to enjoy. I wish Mark the owner luck.

I am different. Unlike the last posts, I feel the place has improved greatly. The owner has been friendly and more then generous. A owner that walks in a club wearing a baseball cap, jeans and t-shirt kind of doesnt seem cocky to me. He even serves people and openly communicates with the patrons unlike most others in the industry. Now I am a nobody but I think the one that is laughing at everyone is the owner. Watching people like you give the club free advertising as you visit his establishment and spend your money. I am sure he is laughing ALL the way to the bank.

For an afternoon, I like The Viewpoint best in Portland, and I've visited most of the strip clubs. It's worth the trip just to see MONIQUE weekday afternoons. I've been going there for quite a few years, under different owners, and the new one is making a huge improvement, but the dance prices have gone up, too. It's still a very friendly place. Good selection of beers (Alice, the bartender is great!), and I've never had a bad lunch special. All the girls are friendly and willing to visit, but not pushy. It's a great place to relax for the afternoon or kill a few hours before a flight (Holiday Inn and Ramada are very close). Check it out. Nobody told me to post this -- I really like the place (and Monique)!

Well I just recently went back into the Viewpoint and its okay. The day time dancers are the ones I love, Maria, Baby K, Monique, and that makes the Viewpoint great but......... The owner is cocky which I guess is the same as the female owner that was not all there in the head. Atleast her management was nice and she had management that worked their asses off to make sure the customers where happy. I have no clue where the Viewpoint is going but who does. That place changes owners every year or two. Thank God for the dancers that can be on the floor and the bartender Alice who can pour a great beer and hold a conversation. To the owner, take the advice from a old timer pull the stick out your ass everyone is laughing at you!

Bored with the buddies one night we decided to go slumming to Killingsworth. Wasnt the Viewpoint I remembered it to be. This place has cleaned up and the girls have gotten better looking. We ended up staying 2 more hours then we planned to. The drinks could be a little more geared towards us "blue collars" but pretty cool hangout! Didnt feel sleazy. I am going back and thanks Sugar for the dances!!!!!

Well the Viewpoint certainly feels "cleaner" than some, girl quality varies, but thankfully few of the retread trailer moms that are all too frequent in many clubs. Multiple dancers at times, and the have Dead Guy on tap! You could take yer dad here. Some of the girls will even have a real conversation. Table dances in a slightly private area. dark enough to not feel like your being watched, none of that ID photography that tell you a place has had olcc problems. dancers "KC" "monique" and "baby Kay" worth mentioning.
