I consider myself an easy going guy, typically I wouldnt say anything about a club like Society other than the now extremly overused "it is what it is". However one thing that I do absolutley detest is dishonesty especially when you are trying to take advantage of people that, well you are already taking advantage of by over charging. I was out with a large group for a 21st birthday, and as always when I go out I drink Tanqueray and tonics which happen to be $8 at the Society (I would also like to note their tonic is horrible). Anyways I had had been going to the same bartender all night paying with cash, on my 4th trip up I was quoted $10 for the same drink... Needless to say I didnt except that drink nor cause a ruckus becuase, well I am an easy going guy. I did however find a new bartender for the night.

Toolbag city! The bartenders are a joke, the girls are not classy. This place has changed hands many times for a reason. Portland has enough overpriced "clubs" and "lounges" already. They charged me $40 for a bottle of Wycliff champagne! Wycliff for $40? No way! It is $2 at Safeway. Along with the bartenders that hit on every girl with two legs, all the dudes are total doushes. save your money and go elsewhere. I'm not a difficult person. This is very real and show what you get at Society. Don't delete this just because its rough.

I went there for happy after work about a week ago. The food was amazing, although they were out of a few things on the happy hour menu. The chef even came out of the kitchen with a surprise *free* sample of his specialty (carrots). I'm not typically a huge carrot person, but these were wonderful. They reminded me a little of my father's secret yam recipe. The staff and food were great. I hope to make it back before they change their menu!

I was invited to attend a private showcase of Society's "new" restaurant located at the old home of Envy, and NV. I can assure you that if you found either of these two places to be unbearable, than save your money if thinking of a visit to Society. Same poor management, different color palette.

Upon entering the club, no one was at the door to direct me where to go so I wondered in aimlessly until I found someone who appeared to work there. He directed me to a spiky haired twenty-something who introduced himself as a manager and thanked me for coming in. He sat us at a table then swiftly disappeared into the darkness. Moments later a young tall blonde dressed like a street pro offered to take our drink order. Immediately after placing the order, she returned to inform me that the bartender did not know how to make my drink and asked me if I would tell her how. A Singapore sling isn’t that uncommon and additionally, I’ve never had a server ask me how to serve. After some aid from our table, she returned with a watered down drink and a BILL for the drinks!! I have been invited to a dozen of events like this and have never once been presented with a bill. I can assume that the invitation was extended in hopes that I would enjoy the visit and forward them future clients as that is the purpose of these events. To say the least, I paid my check, tipped well, and quickly left. Suffice to say; management here is completely lacking so expect McDonald’s quality customer service in a flashy environment laced with red light bulbs and dark curtains to hide the dirt on the walls and ceiling. The remodel looks to have cost around $4000 and you can bet on another name and colored light bulb swap in the next twelve months.

This is a cheap and dirty attempt to replicate a larger city’s nightclub style at a fraction of the cost and clearly none of the experience. They’ll make money selling drinks to brainless plastic barbies for a short while but eventually, even they’ll catch on to the shallowness that is Society.

while you line up and wait to get into the "next big thing" we'll be across the street hanging with the real people of this city at the yammy, if you ever wanna come slumming be sure and tip the bartenders and make sure your women are wearing panties... or not
