BarFly's Review of Dancin' Bare

Rambling roadhouse across from Paul Bunyan. Dancers from 12pm, on three stages. DJs Thurs-Sat, jukebox rest of the week. Never a cover, unless some unique extravaganza. No credit cards, but 2 ATMs on premises.

Food till 9pm weekdays, till 11pm weekends. Megatouch and pool x2, and a unique "fusion table" (free on Sunday). Siamese-style pool, with two tables conjoined on one side, shaped like a Tetris block, is one of only two in Oregon. Fusion pool rules posted.

Hours 11:30am-2:30am everyday. 

Sunday and Monday: $3.50 Skyy Blue at all hours. Free pool on Sundays, too. Tuesday: Bud pitchers $7.25, from 7-9pm. Wednesday: Miller Lite bottles $3, all hours. Thursday: Coors Light pitchers $7.25, from 7-9pm.

Sure about that,Chris?

Do you want to date a stripper? Don't tip, having a good drug connection helps, have a car, and (sorry) treat em like crap. The worse you treat them, the more spun they get on you. It's weird, but these are weird girls. Good thing is, it's fine if you don't have a job yourself. Most strippers boyfriends don't.

fo shit's and giggles

I went to the Dancin' Bare with a friend after work...Now, I am in love with a stripper! I forgot to ask her her name. Fuck my life! In response to her question: "could you date a stripper?" The answer is YES! She was so damn beautiful! Off to take a cold shower! I wonder what it would take to date a stripper? Chris

P.S. She was from Philly!

awesome dancers

I went there with a buddy of mine during the middle of the week. The girls where awesome, very talkative, joked around alot, and really made you feel like being there. I could have spent alot more than what I spent there that night. My beer was never empty. Thanks for a good night.

nice

Never been to a strip club until coming to Portland, went to Mary's, and then I found Dancin' Bare. It's the place I go most often. Talia will take you to Heaven. And great food. and pool. The MAX station is outside.

Not so great

Went there once a year ago and thought it was awesome, was there last week and not impressed at all. Staff was very rude and would never go back

Cool Spot

This is a bar you could hang out in even if there wasn't dancers. I love the place.

great girls

i've been going to the bare off and on for ten plus years. good atmosphere and the girls are great for the most part. great personalities to go along with very hot bodies. early weeknights are truly the best, with more 'natural' talent working.

feel free to bring your girlfriend, the ladies love to perform for other females!!!

Worst Strip Club Customer

$1 to the dancers lmao. If you are that stingy maybe you should go find a lesser club. I like this Strip Club because b/f and I can go in sit at the rack watch some cool tricks on the pole. Those ladies must have a ton of patience.

Loved It

I use to work there Jan-march and it was a blast. Granted some of the bar staff is neglectful, what do you expect with one bartender on a saturday night. The girls are friendly and very talkative.

And to the gentlemen that complain about lack of instant nudity...those tips are all the dancers make, they pay the bar to work there. Getting naked for a dollar is a waste of time and energy, especially when they can dance for one song one on one and make $20.

Great and Close

Went there last few weekends, and this place seems to be coming uphill. Way hot dancers and two mins from Vancouver, so convienent. Wish they took credit cards, but I guess that's another way to keep some 1's on the racks. The girls are almost all very hot and friendly, and they all look different, which is a big bonus. Check out Jenna and Akira-they look like your kids' kindergarten teachers, only naked! HOT, HOT, HOT!

worst strip club ever

The bartenders were the most unfriendly i've ever encountered. they wouldn't give me $1s when i ran out and were confrontational. Some of the dancers were tweaked out on i dont know what, and the others worked their asses off, and i wanted to show my respect, but there were no $1s to be had. would not go here again in a million years.

The Monday after Easter is the worst day to go

Probably up there with Christmas and Thanksgiving. But, it was a friendly, down-to-earth place with five customers and seven girls. They tried having fun, but a stripper is dancing and no one's there to watch, it's painful. I'd go again, and on a weekend.

Nicest place I've been so far, which isn't too many. Friendly cute dancers. Some smoke but not too bad. Well lit. They do sell 12oz on tap beers but a little pricey at $4.00.

used to dance there...will never dance anywhere else

this club is hands down the most friendly club you'll ever go to/dance at. all the girls are completely genuine...and each one is different. the best thing about the dancin' bare, in my opinion, it's got the feelin' of walkin into cheers..everybody knows your name. in reponse to the idiot who got thrown out on his head, i was there, and you didnt get kicked out for jumpin on the stage, it was cause you slapped a girls ass, and honestly, you're lucky the girl didnt stick her 5 inch heal through your throat. the bar takes amazingly great care of their girls, and are more than willing to do the same for their customers, just remember, it's a two way street!

The one and only Dancin Bare

Well how do I explain it. After finding out about a 2 week trip to Portland, I was a bit bummed. That was until I found out about the Dacin Bare!! This place was a great place to hang out, shoot pool, see some fine women!! They were all amazing and very cool girls. The ass slapper as mentioned below "Gemini" was a girl that was worth the trip, I dont know how that ass can be slapped like that???

Head injuries and handcuffs

This is the only place I have been "officially" 86'd from. Probably cause I out drank Ireland that night and jumped on stage topless on amateur night. Then security tried to "escort" me out throwing me on my head. Paramedics cleared me and the popo clicked me up. Not after I unsuccessfully tried to hop a 3 foot fence. Thanks to my friend, Jeff, I was not alone at the Hooper center. Apparently, the popo doesn't like you to call detox "decocks". Who knew?

Dancin Bare

The burger/fries were very good and you can't beat the price. The two 20ish looking dancers were just plain boring. (whats the deal with constantly slapping your right ass cheek? What's wrong with the left one?) The only dancer worth being there to see is an awesome chick who calls herself "Desire".. she is the hottest chick I have seen in awhile.. and I love the handstands!

Another great nopo dive bar. Only this time - with breasts. The people that work there can be a little weird however - the manager flipped out when I was talking on my phone because he was afraid I would take a pic of a dancer - c'mon dude. She wasn't that hot.

I like this place

Dancin' Bare is a perfect balance between dive-bar strip club (like the Rooster and Backswing) and pretentious "we're so Vegas" smarm (like Star's Cabaret and the Dolphin.)

It's not so fun on Friday or Saturday nights, like that other guy said (hey guys put your hairy palms together for Steffie! And throw some dead presidents on the rail) but those times are usually when the most stunningly augmented dancers work.

Amateur Night

How can you not have visions of nightmares run through your head every time you see the reader board advertising an upcoming Amateur Night? Well, it's bad. From the huge monster truck parked out front the night of, to the crowded, packed house of oogling guys inside, it was the announcer that was 100% cheese factor that did it for me. The girls, the ones that work there to dance, were great. But that announcer? Ewww. As for the pit area for amateurs, most with their tops off, girls, put down the drinks and realize what you're doing! Leave it to the professionals!
