BarFly's Review of Safari Show Club
Tiger-striped dancers, goldfish fed to piranhas, jungle taxidermy - countless Women's Studies dissertations have doubtless already been written about The Safari Club, but the predatory entertainers and Vegas-stylee environs are good a showcase as any for our indie stripperland. Star's Cabaret, long the local tittie bar gold standard, purchased crumbling club Doc's a few years back and, through a singular if troubling vision, brought downtown businessmen and (ironically, of course) hipster kids alike to Powell's sad little red light district for private cabanas, gals splashing around an indoor pool, and the MGM Africana decor.
Can't recommend this place enough, I frequent this club because it is clean, well prices, great bartender, and amazing girls (the most important part right?) Cassie is unbelievable, more aggressive than the other girls there but wow, the greatest lap dance of my life and only $20!! what a deal, always will return to this place because it is just a great time with friendly people
went there tonight, again new dancers, some ones ive seen before, but damn, this girl mya or maya, just absolutely amazing. Biggest tits there, just gives the most amazing lap dances I have ever had in my life, you will not regret throwing up the $20 for a dance, just damn, will be coming back here over and over again, especially if mya is working!!
I've been there on nights and for a couple bucks had a dancer straddle me and tell me to hang on and then proceed to flap like a fish out of water. I felt compelled to throw down some more dollars after that. Other nights I've been there and the girls are neither friendly nor my cup of tea (sorry I'm into the skinny asian/black/brunette types, no offense to all of you hard working high pitched barbie doll blondes). If I'm in the area I'll check it out. Seems to be a high turnover. Did not know about the pirhanas but might have to check that out.
I heard about the Safari Club and their famous Piranha tanks and had to go there on my bachelor night. Woah, what a let down as far as strip clubs go. Shitty service, not attractive dancers and way overpriced beer (more than usual for a strip joint).
THE saving grace was that you can buy goldfish and drop them into any one of the many different Piranha tanks. That was by far the highlight of my experience there. Not that I especially get a kick out of watching creatures getting eaten/ripped to pieces, but I'd never seen Piranha fed before and those bastards are ruthless. We spent about 10 bucks on fish and then went to Mary's. THEN the night became what a bachelor night should be. Just go to Mary's.
Went to Safari for Barely Legal night, wow. Gorgeous girls, especially these 4 girls. Veronica Lee is gorgeous and does your lap dance right, great girl and funny. Got another dance from a new girl, didnt get naked but did a fair amount of grinding, im sure she will learn how it goes in the future. Definitly going back, lots of fun, no pressure and gorgeous girls.
went there last night for the first time and had a blast! Girls are hot and food was great. Talia is so beautiful and puts on an amazing show!... cant wait to go back!
such a great place inside and out... even has a pool outside for the summer time! Paris will take your breath away... will be back there soon for sure.
The New owner is bringing the Safari back to what it should have been from the begining after Doc's. Doc's with a new name. We will have band night again once a month and nothing but hot girls. The menu is new and the prices are right. the drinks are being priced back to a what normal SE strip club should be in the first place. The idea is out with old and back in with new. I hope that everyone will give this place the chance we deserve.
Thanks, Pauly Safari Manager
If you are good looking and have a job [meaning you have the cash to blow], but don't like stuck-up snob strippers, this place is where it's at!
FYI for all you dumb-asses, talk to a stripper like she's a normal person, for $20 she will make it worth you wild! It's her art let her work it out.
I tried this place a few times, then just crossed it off my list. Doc's was fun, Safari comes across like all they care about is separating me from my money while delivering as little as possible. Turn-off!.
My band played a show there... It was a hellhole, We were sprayed with a fire extinguisher, A manager walked up to me and said "turn that shit off!" while I was doing a sound check, We were harassed, called talentless, the strippers were tweakers (seriously... they were) and quite rude, and at the end of the night a fight broke out... the dj is a totally ass, the bouncers and management can't even run the place properly... and the strippers are butt ugly. I say BOYCOTT THE SAFARI! They have no respect for Portland's bands... the true talent of the show!
Avoid, cover to get in and within minutes I was ready to pay to get out. Waste of money unless your thing is grade C danners with ugly tats. The only hottie were the bartenders when I was there.
Went there on a weeknight, kinda slow biz wise. Dancers were hot for my wife so that improved the show (for me) somewhat. Overall, talent was just fair. Fish aquariums were cool. Drinks were okay, did shots so really can'y go wrong.
Went near closing on a saturday, club was empty, the remaining girls were haggard. Avoid.
The Cocktail servers at this club look better then the dancers.. especially this coctail server V...something or another.. she is a big breasted beauty and she is awesome! The Bartenders could stop talking so much and start mixing, and the D.J could lay off the alcahole a little, but over all.. I think I would come back... I'd like to see the thug clientell go away, maybe then the club could be awesome!!
The night I was there, this place totally sucked. A flat disengaged stripper on a single corner stage who was flat as a pancake and had absolutely no sizzle. Granted, it was a week night, but I expect a lot more, even on a slow night. I expect beautiful big-titted sluts dressed in stockings and heels who pull off their bottoms early, spread their legs and open their pink pussy lips to showcase their tight bare cunts. Why settle for shit?
Spread those legs!
Easlily the best strip club in town, the girls are plenty, gorgeous and down to earth unlike certain shitholes like the Acropolis. All of the staff is very friendly and it makes for an enjoyable experience.
the place has kind of a goofy theme, but so it goes with strip clubs. this girl ``debi'' works there, she's easily the hottest stripper i've ever seen. she knows how to treat a guy right =]
The women are hot and their is a nice mix of ethnic! Ashley is the Best! The women came over and sat and talked and flirted the whole evening!!! The bartender was having a hard time keeping up but mixed great drinks!! We will continue to go back!!
