Let’s start off with my love for both of the rooms. The music is great and there’s no point I want to leave because I hate the music. The EDM room has a great set up with the lights. I always have fun here, but I’m always weary about the cleanliness. I went here for Halloween and I had a blast! The rest of my party can’t say the same, but heck, I had fun! Other than that, the name perfectly describes the nightclub. Dirty and filthy. I get nervous the later in the night when the floors start getting wet. Is it wet from spilt drinks or something else? The floor was so slippery once that I ended up falling and was mortified what I fell into. You best believe I went home and scrubbed myself down. I remember before I came here someone told me and I quote, «There’s a reason this place is called dirty… it’s DIRTY! There’s urine all over the bathroom!» For that, I have never gone to the restroom here. Theres no doors leading to them and you can see into them as you’re passing from the music rooms. The alcohol control people are utterly rude. I get that they’re dealing with drunk people, but seriously I don’t need to be yelled at to walk faster or pushed when there’s clearly people in front of me plugging up the walk way. I don’t understand why people are so eager to get on the poles. I’ve never seen them get wiped down and some people are just ready to touch the pole after someone puts their butt and wrap their other parts all around it. Do you remember those 18+ clubs where kids just went wild, grinding all over? This is the scene at Dirty.

The music is good, can’t complain. I’ve been going to Dirty for years. I do have to say, I’ve started going to bars and clubs in different cities and found them to be absolutely amazing. Which makes me think, maybe these places are normal. and the places I’ve been going in Portland aren’t doing a very good job? The drinks are extremely overpriced for what you get, and the flow of the crowd isn’t very controlled. The entire time on the dance floor you will be continuously shoved by people coming from the entrance to the other side of the club. Not very fun, and very uncomfortable.

Great club. It lives up to its name. I got super dirty here last night. The bouncers did their job without being forceful or intimidating even though my brother and I were pretty rowdy. The patrons seem like a nice crowd too. Make sure you buy the girls drinks otherwise they won’t talk to you. I was too busy buying myself drinks and dancing like an Coke-addled Kevin Federline to bother with that tho.

The front music is usually good. The back room that is EDM whatever music I literally hate. The drinks here are wayyy over priced & usually are made terribly to top it off. As we were walking in the bouncer told my(black) boyfriend he had to take off his cap. Literally a white guy walked in from the opposite line with a baseball cap on that he was not asked to remove. Can you say DOUBLESTANDARD?! The only good part about this place is that usually it’s fairly easy to get in free.

Don’t come here if you’re looking to be treated with dignity. The barstaff is rude and judgmental, the bouncers are insane and needlessly aggressive, and pretty much everyone who comes here is unbelievably vapid. Same situation in the spin room. The lighting is cool, sure, but that doesn’t make me want to come back after being verbally abused by a bouncer and escorted from the venue for having a conversation with a friend outside of a bathroom. These dudes act like thugs; don’t give them your patronage.

The worst place! The music was very old like back to the club in 2010… Don’t expect something fancy or fashion there, or you will get pretty disappointed. The girl check the coat was very rude! She didn’t give the coat back to my friend and ask her to wait until everyone in the club leaves — simple because of her own mistake that didn’t write an number on my friend’s wrist. Can’t believe it!

Paid 150.00 for a table… took over 30 min to get our bottle service which was additional 130.00… Not VIP to me… :(

Rued. Coat check girl told my friend to get hearing aids when he asked her to repeat herself cause he couldn’t hear her. Disrespectful to the hearing community. So rued I could not believe she said it.

It was fun, but just for an hour or so, not someplace I would want to stay all night. Drinks were ok. Not a huge crowd and the stripper poles kind of set the place up to be. well… dirty:)

pretty fun place if you’re not looking for conversation and just want to dance. The staff are always super nice and helpful and the drinks are alright. The spin room is the best part of the club.

The bouncers are incredibly rude and unprofessional at this establishment. One of the bouncers that was standing by the VIP section actually told me my head was blocking his view in a rather rude and insulting manner. Another bouncer that was on the dance floor began abruptly gesturing at us and flashing his flashlight at us to get off that side of the dance floor. There was more than enough space for us to move around in that area. Considering we paid $ 20 each to get in, the behavior of the bouncers was fairly garbage and by far the worst of any club-like establishment. This place and its staff come across more as a bunch of typical rude hood rats. That’s very unfortunate for a great town like Portland.

LOL. This place only has 2 stars but I actually had fun here with my girls when we visited from California: D There were 2 rooms and they both had a whole lotta poles. The DJ in the back room played EDM while the DJ in the front played hip-hop. I thought the music was great in both rooms! My girls and I danced like crazy and had so much fun! BIGBANG(K-pop) on the screen made for great eye candy! I think the crowd was a bit older(30’s and 40’s?) and some guys were a bit too aggressive compared to the ones in California. We literally had to push some guys away from us with both hands. kind of weird! As long as you’re with good company, you should have a great time here though :)

Yes it’s a dive. Yea it’s dirty but once the back room opens up the dancing begins. The DJ was off the chain, beats were blaring and sweat was dripping. Had a blast but probably because they waved our $ 10 cover.

Don’t pay with card, they will add insult to injury on the overpriced, watered down drinks and write themselves whatever tip they want. $ 9 for a cup of ice, sour mix and a splash of whiskey?(their«whiskey sour») Never again.

Loved this club so much we went two nights straight!!! The bouncers are actually cool, and don’t treat you like crap. They made our bachelorette party amazing! From song choices, to helping us order beverages. They sent us straight to VIP both nights. We will always come back! This is coming from a party of 12. MUSTGO!

So I hate that I kind of like this place. It really is one of the worst places, but damn, I’ve never walked out of there thinking I had a bad time. Sure, a lot of that probably has to do with who I’m with, but still, I’ve walked out of other bars and clubs with those same people and been disappointed. Yes, you will see the worst of the worst at this club. Yes, they will play some songs 3 times in the span of 3 hours. Yes, it gets hot as hell in there. But if you like to dance, let me tell you – there aren’t a lot of options here in Portland.

If you enjoy being treated like crap, definitely come here. We are a couple of professionals(I was from out of town) that came to visit for a fun evening. We were having an okay time until one of the bartenders, a short asian — american woman, was extremely rude and disrespectful to us. We asked(nicely) for one of those tiny white bar napkins, and she tried to hand us a wet bar towel. We politely declined and she then completely FLIPPED. She started screaming at us to «go get it ourselves» and to get away from her, complete with violent hand motions. Um. Okay? Aside from the possibility that she might have been on some sort of stimulant drug, I can’t fathom why any workplace would allow an employee in a customer service oriented position to treat customers like that. I asked to speak with a manager or owner but apparently they were out at the moment. Another bartender felt so bad later that they offered us complimentary drinks, but that is not what we were after. We wanted to be treated with some semblance of respect. On top of that, the stripper poles were a bit much and didn’t look to be clean. AND there was a fight at the club that night. Really? Just a tad too trashy, but not enough for the place to be called ‘hood’. Dirty could be a really fun place if the drinks were normal(definitely drink somewhere else, the drinks are EXTREMELY watered down!) and service was better, because the music is is pretty fun and the space lends itself to good dancing. Go somewhere else if you are a young professional in the area… this is NOT the place you want to be. Ever.

I know why they call this place ‘Dirty’ because there are stripper poles everywhere and I’m concerned about the amount of times they are sanitized. The music was the usual club music, and some of the ‘Alcohol Control’ staff were rude. It was way to crowded and they layout is weird so that you are like dancing right up on the people trying to get their drinks from the bar. I wouldn’t go back here.

I went to Dirty on a Monday with my friend Andy K and other friends while visiting Portland Now I’m kinda surprised to see that he gave it only one star =(I think he has to update his review. It was a fun place, party rave style, electronic music, dancers etc the whole experience in a small venue, I always had that kind of party in big places like Exchange here in LA or Raves in hangars in Bogota, but never on a more intimate kinda setting. Loved their décor between Kitch and retro, with tons of bubble mirrors and color lights That night they had different dancers, one was this girl with a hula, she was really good and my friends were hypnotised… enphasize on the HIP part… Even a «Priest» asked if I have been a good girl and wanted to confess me(no comments) My experience was good, I had a blast, good drink, great e-music and super fun crowd. Reasonable priced drinks, no variety though =( It kinda surprised me the low ratings of this place because it was pretty full Maybe I was lucky? I don’t know… Recommended on Mondays I only can vouch for Dirt on this day of the week
