the ultimate strip club list

a guy's guide to strip clubs

Tried 505 in Gresham Saturday evening. Went to the bar, got my $3 soda (they do serve alcohol), and sat at the poker machines. I didn't stay long. Only saw two girls, and both were really scary. Lots of cellulite on one. This place is never top-notch, but the girls tonite were a new low.

of all the strip clubs in Gresham, the 505 is the best....because it's the only one...the girls are all right, and the bartenders are pretty good. Pretty low key for the most part, which is nice for a change.

Club 505 in Gresham was fairly busy at 8:30, with about four dancers. Dancers were OK looking, most in the 5-7 range. Interesting club with concrete floors, smaller inside than it looks from the outside, with parking away from the road. Three small stages, with tables around the walls for patrons. There is a private dance area in one corner closed off by beaded curtains, but no-one used it while I was there. Had a nice dinner menu, with some fairly cheap prices on steak dinners.



Got a chance to visit the 505 Club while in the Portland area. This appears to be a local bar with 3 small dance areas each with a pole. I was there on a Tuesday night around 7:00PM and there were maybe 10 people in there - 2 shooting pool (2 pool tables), 5 at the bar that sat 10 people, one at a table (numerous tables around the bars), and 3 of us at the stage area where 5 girls traded off dancing to just 2 songs each. They are average in looks and talent, one quite heavy, one really skinny, yet nice, 2 others average, and one that I'd rate an 8. The bar is nude and they do give you a good close up show, but there is a sign that says NO TOUCHING, so I just sat there. They don't come around after dancing for tips, just what you give them as they are dancing. These girls were all very friendly, but danced, then sat at a side stage and smoked and drank - not interacting with the customers. There was a side area which had beads hanging to the ground for "privacy", but I didn't get asked to go there with any of the girls, so I don't know the cost or what it entails. I would have rated it higher if the girls would talk after their dance set and there was a lap dance area the girls would ask you to go to. It is in a good location off a major road and has plenty of parking. I would visit again when in the area and may just do so in the nights to come.
