Friendliest Dive Bar in Town
The place is a dive - but in this case, that's actually a compliment. Welcome to DV8, the friendliest dive bar in town.

The bartender was great, the bouncers friendly, and the girls - engaging and mostly hot. I'd been in the place for mere minutes before one of them walked up to me at the bar and began to flirt. And she wasn't the only one to do so.

Over the course of the evening, I actually had more "face time" with the dancers at DV8 than I've experienced at any other bar in town.

DV8 is nothing special to look at - in fact, a single dedicated person could vastly improve the place during the hours the club is closed with nothing more than some new lighting and a can of paint. But that's not why we go to strip clubs, right? The beer is good (prices about average), the employees professional and friendly, and the dancers? Hell, they're usually pretty hot. On the whole, the place is kind of fun to hang out in.

Thumbs up!
Portland strip clubs have gone downhill in the last few years, so much so that as much as I love naked women, I hardly ever go to the clubs any more. The vegas wannabe clubs like stars and dolphins: pay a cover charge to drink expensive small beers and be sneered at by plastic-titted stuck up Barbies. Boring! And they had the gall to raise the cover to 10 bucks when they had the girls put on boxing gloves and duke it out in a blow-up boxing ring instead of doing their dances onstage! Totally NOT sexy! The pinky-ring car salesmen in the area seemed to be eating it up, but that was the last straw for me.
Now I go DV8. No cover, happy hour pricing with free food (donation jar), and silicone-free good-looking girls. Hats off to whoever is hiring the talent there. Other clubs offer ghetto-looking fatties while DV8 consistently fills the schedule with young hotties who manage to look like they're having fun onstage. Right on!
I'll be back over and over for that.
Cons: Smoke. Lighting in lap dance area. It's lighted by a spot on the outside of the sheer white curtain enclosure. It looks inviting to the casual eye, then you get in there and realize you can't see the girl very well 'cause she's silhouetted against the bright curtain. You get a much better show at the rack. No wonder the girls there don't try to sell private dances! Once is enough, now I change the twenties and use the singles to get an extra wink or two at the rack.

Yuck
The bar was cool...wait...the prices at the bar were cool. The bartender was a 56 year old whale of a woman, but nice enough I suppose. Now on to the creepy shit...

There is a Bettie Page looking girl there, very cute and looks way better with her clothes on! My buddy and I were sitting at the stage and she decides to tell us that she has 2 kids, and one of them was just born 2 months ago...then she did it...she shot milk out of her tit. She is lucky I didn't throw up all over her.

Why in the hell would a stripper even tell you that she has kids?!?!?!? It's obvious when i stare at your stretch marks, or C-Section scar and blown out nipples that you have kids. But come on, Im here to see hot naked chicks and indulge in a fantasy.....not watch you lactate. GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Happened?
We hit the DV8 last weekend during a short tour of strip clubs. I'd been here maybe 3-4 times before, but not in about 4-5 months or so. It seems to be better... the bartender was very cool and made a great drink (and was courteous enough to ask how the drink was when I went up for a second). There were definitely a few very good looking dancers, and a few that...well... you might expect more on a saturday nite!

All in all it made the rotation again, although my guess is that the weekends are better overall.

"Hangout" and "Neighborhood" joint; I know
But Blanka from Streetfighter was the only one dancing, and for whatever reason, was doing really complicated twirls--not the stripper variety, but the Flashdance sort--with a bathrobe on no less. Nobody there, save for a game of pool. Goose and soda, then bounced. Slow Monday indeed.

Close encounter on a quiet Sunday night
Arrived on Sunday around 10PM. There were about 5-6 customers in the whole bar and only 2-3 customer were sitting by the stage or near it and rest are playing around the game and billiards. I saw 3 dancers working that time but this doesn't make the experience bad because 2 of them are very forward. Well, given there were only 2 customers around the stage it is actually is in dancer’s best interest to be engaging and personable as possible to get a table dance. Two of them were close enough to make the stage show a small private dance session. One of the dancers had her legs wrapped around me through out the 3 songs but still manage to keep enough distance to make the show legal. Being there before on a Saturday night several months ago but it was more crowded and the dancers weren't as close to the customers but still give a nice show. I do recall there were two dancers that were into teasing & being playful with each other on that night which make this bar stand out from others. There were 2 billiards, several video games, a pin ball machine, and a large screen TV with several smaller one scatters throughout the bar. The private dance too is given privately at the room in the back although I didn't get one this time.

utterly depressing
This place made me want to join a Buddhist monastery and never look at a naked woman again. Utterly depressing, the stripper begged that I tip her cause I was the only one watching there (I was there a total of five minutes). Depressing, but I'm getting therapy and things are getting brighter, I think I'll survive...

Fuck yeah!
Cheap whiskey, cheap pool and cheap food (that tastes good!). Hot strippers who seem to be having a fun time, real flirty and fun. The DJ was kind of a dick trying to get us to tip on girls we weren't even fully watching while we were playing pool but I'll let that slide because the server at the bar was real attentive and even brought us our many drinks on the floor while we were playing pool and came back multiple times to check on us and take more drink orders. She was hot, friendly, and topless to boot so that was nice. I'd definitely go back.

Great bar
I work here and think it's the best place ever to work. The Bar ROCKS! Total friendly dancers and staff, great prices and awesome food and drinks ;O)

hottest chics
your all gay.. dv8 has the hottest chics.. charlie is the hottest women on the planet.. and olivia is the best bartender ive ever encountered.. period

This place Sucks!
A buncha busted naked chicks (put the clothes back on!), ugly horny clientel, and methed out bartenders that think they're hot(put on a bar, gramma, or at least learn to make a drink!). I'm ashamed this thing belongs to the town I call home.
The guys there must have an E.T. or Gollum fettish.

Best Dancer
BB is the best dancer in Portland...there is no other...
