Wish I could give NEGATIVE stars. My 21 yr brother was assaulted by security while trying to give the fallen dollar bills back to the dancers when we were standing up to leave. We had been asked by the host to give any bills that had dropped on the floor by our feet to the dancers, so we were doing that all night. I’ve been a long time customer (VIP & regular front row) and that night we spent over $300 on tips before he was thrown to the ground (by his neck) for NO reason and without warning. My partner, friends and I are long time customers and never returning. Brother was assaulted while trying to give the dancers their money that had fallen to the floor. It left him with bruises and cuts.

Exceptionally talented, beautiful, and wonderful strippers on easter. Friendly and overall an amazing first experience at a strip club! The long haired blondish bartender was SO rude and condecending for no reason from the get go.

First time here and the dancer snatched my money out of my hands, probably not coming back.Additionally, the bartender took forever to take my order and served someone who came after me. Maybe it’s because I’m a woman but it was weird vibes.

Honestly one of the worst strip club on the West Coast. Some of the dancers are talented, but just a horrible experience overall. Wife and I wont be visiting here again and intend on telling our friends the same. I mean, who puts a poker game right inside the door and has to have the rudest bartender Ive ever dealt with. Also ....it would be a good idea to tell some of your dancers to lay off the weed before going out to talk customers into buying lap dances. Most people dont want to smell a skunk rubbing on them. You get a 1 star due to the fact 0 isnt an option.

The interior design makes you feel like you’re back in the old days of burlesque. Such a gorgeous place inside❗️Keep your judgements at the door as this is a place for any body side. I instantly fell in love with a stunning black girl who’s piercing eyes kept me there longer than my kidneys had hoped for.A friend bought me a lap dance and the girl couldn’t have looked more bored while doing. $40 and no touching. Great place to go but I wouldn’t bother with the lap dances.

Went in on a slow Tuesday night. Got a couples lap dance from Fantasia, she was great! Fun, down to earth and beautiful. The club itself was okay, pretty empty minus the poker game happening in the back. We went on their queer night so that was really cool to experience too; seeing different varieties of dancers. Overall good experience.

Dancers are amazing, bouncers and bartenders are rude and unprofessional.If you want a good experience, go to spyce

I came here as a part of Santacon 2023 and it was single handedly the worst strip club I have ever been too. The vibe is horrible, the music is horrible, the dancer on shift was horrible, the drinks were horrible. The entire experience with them was just awful from beginning to end. The bouncer was rude and aggressive about us using our phones, I wouldn’t have taken a picture anyways trust me, and the staff was all very creepy and unwelcoming. This place and X are both awful. If you’re looking for beautiful dancers and a good time I would go to either Spyce or Detour

My friend and I had so much fun at the Burlesque show (1130ish Friday and Saturdays)! The place was clean and the vibes were great. As two women experiencing a gentlemans club we felt safe and respectful the whole evening. Lexi was awesome 🦸‍♀️! Please bring lots of money and tip the dancers good!

The dancers are so talented and the staff is all so nice, the drinks are great, one bartender presented me with my drink my balancing it on her head it was so cool. i really wanted to rate higher but this was only our second time here and it sucks that we had an interaction that sort of ruined it. my friends and i each made sure to tip every dance, maybe we were too subtle or the dancers didnt always see us but a blonde tatted dancer came up to our table with a bucket after her set and at first i thought yeah heres another tip and i told her happy birthday, but then she just got really snarky and said something about how we arent tipping enough? as if she thought we hadnt tipped her during her set ? and it wasnt in a funny playful way it was so pointed and accusatory. we were introducing some friends to this scene for the first time and it was upsetting to be talked to like that. we left shortly afterward because that interaction made us feel so uncomfortable. i understand the dancers are paid only in tips, and by all means get that bag, but if they feel the need to approach us in that way like? idk just bump the cover charge ? better than making your patrons feel so uncomfortable.

Review №11

The dancers are wildly talented BUT the staff are super aggressive about tipping to the point that it became uncomfortable and our group left EVEN THOUGH we’d been tipping generously while there and paid for a lap dance. It felt like a shake down but it didn’t make sense because we’d been spending money.

Place is cool. Beautiful women, which is surprising given the one dollar cover! Great bar staff and beer/liquor selection as well. The bouncers can be kinda prickish but at least theyre funny.

I came here with my bf and left plenty of tips and my bf got beat down to the ground by security for absolutely no reason.

Review №14

Anti-immigrant. Security thinks they’re border patrol and wouldn’t let my POC husband in with his resident card. Have never had this happen before and we’re in Portland at least 4x a year.Update based on owner response: his card doesn’t expire for years, so I don’t know where you got that from. Every other bar and club in Portland has let us in with no problem. And the funniest thing is we actually got into this club a year ago with the EXACT SAME ID so I don’t know if it’s new ownership or a different bouncer but this is not a problem I expected to have in such a progressive city.

Kit Kat is one of the many strip clubs in Portland, right behind Voodoo Doughnuts, so easy to get to. Its a smaller one, with technically 3 stages, a bar and a poker table. Security and bartenders are super friendly, and the girls on stage are very talented and friendly as well. Prices for drinks arent too bad, and table service is really quick. There are a few employees that arent dancers or bartenders that are very aggressive, rude and condescending. Theyd probably get 4 or maybe 5 stars if these people fixed their attitudes and were friendly because it takes down the rest of the clubs rating. No reason to talk down to paying patrons, spending money on cover charges, drinks and lap dances bought for others.

Review №16

Covers not bad, atms charge is 4.5, bouncer was very direct about boundaries which I deffenitly appreciated, lots of girls during Easter, 1-3 dancers on at once made for some good times.Only reason its not a five is, the private dances are held in tiny not very well lit booths.

Review №17

I went in there yesterday and the dancers and security deserve a 5/5. However the absolute rudest bartenders I’ve ever met. We had just sat down and a song ended and they came with a trash bin saying to give them money and buy a drink. We just sat down, give us at least a few minutes. Incredibly condescending woman whose name I didn’t catch, will not be back

Review №18

I had a great time with my wife. The women were all gorgeous and cool especially, I forgot her name, the black haired Marilyn Monroe. She was the finest thing I have seen in a minute, but was a super sweet with a lovely character. The place had good vibes. We were turned off a bit, cause we left the main stage a second to late into one of the dancers show and she got turned off demanding a tip from us. But was out fault for not leaving before she started. Besides that it was a nice experience.

Review №19

Another strip club that treats you as if they are there for you, and not the other way around. My hubby and I were there a mere 30 minutes. Paid $5 each to get in. We were told that if we sat at the stage we had to tip at least $2 per dance. We felt that was reasonable and we always follow the rules and conduct ourselves appropriately. We sat at a booth and then we’re immediately kicked out because you have to pay for the privilege of enjoying a booth. Ok, whatever.We liked the first dancer we saw, so we sat at the stage and tipped her generously. The next dancer that came on really didn’t do it for us, so we left the stage. During her dance my husband used the restroom and I played a slot for a minute, and then we went and sat at a table waiting for her to finish. After her dance, she came by our table with a small garbage can kind of demanding money. We declined politely, as we had not actually watched her dance much. She decided to become rude and aggressive. She got in my face, and said that we were stealing from her by getting a free show and that she was going to have us kicked out. We just paid our tab and left. Then we went over to Mary’s and their dancers enjoyed great tips from us and we had a blast! Too bad, Kit Cat club. I wish that we had been treated like we were valued. I liked the space and the vibe until we were harassed by your dancer.

I had a horrible experience at this bar. I went to the bathroom the bathroom attendant handed me a napkin . I accidentally dropped it on the floor he grabbed me by the arm and loudly told me to picked up. I was completely in shock I meant no disrespect. I had bruise next day.

Review №21

This place is great! The bartender is always happy no matter how much stress shes under. (Witnessed first hand snobby people being rude to her) so we made her feel better by cracking jokes. The prices are great and the dancers are very talented and nice. Me and my Wife conversed with them alot and they are very nice people. I enjoyed every moment here. It was awesome! I definitely will be going back!

Review №22

The girls here are incredible - super talented and utterly gorgeous but private dances are $40 and NO TOUCH. They are not lap dances. We spent two nights there and the first night we were chastised by an untalented stripper who wasnt dancing (just laying on the back stage) for not tipping her enough. The second night we were tipping copiously and still - no lap dance. If youre looking for a lap dance, be prepared to pay for VIP. Lame.

The only one dancer knew how to dance. The drinks were over priced. The personal was rude and attempt to collect tips for every song.

Review №24

This is a great club, a big room with plenty of tables and a few booths off to one side. Dancers are all great - and great performers: they each do a themed performance a couple times each night. Full bar and a good tap selection, drinks are priced like a regular bar. (This place is most definitely not a hole in the wall - Jackson Cohen is a liar!)

This is hands down my favorite strip club. The girls are mostly alternative. The house rules and cover charges are fair. The girls seem to be cared for and treated well. I would travel to Portland specifically to visit again.

I love all the dancers incredibly talented, and the bartenders made excellent drinks, not all the bouncers are rude however 1 made me cry and got in my face i was appalled at his highly aggressive manner i felt he was a disgrace to this highly recommended club and should take anger management course or learn how to be a human being! Anyways this is a classy, n exciting place with talented dancers, super friendly!

Bartenders are fast even with a packed house. Chill environment, beautiful ladies. Im a chill drama free guy, and the couple times I witnessed drama there it was nipped in the bud and I was able to again enjoy my drink and the ladies. Hats off to the security for making feel safe. Over all 2 thumbs up.

I had a really good time at this place last night however toward the end of my time here one of the dancers accused my significant other of biting her chest. Without any explanation a bouncer came up to my girlfriend and started screaming and yelling in her face, telling her to shut the f*** up and listen up. The bouncer got so upset and wouldnt let her ask what he was talking about and he ended up punching her in the face. I tried talking to the manager to ask not only what the dancer was talking about but why is it okay for a bouncer to punch a female in the face all because she went to ask why he is screaming at her. The manager said she had to much to drink gave her water and sent her away. After all this my girlfriend has walked away with a swollen face and a huge bruise on her cheek. The performers are awesome, the bouncer we dealt with was rude, and the management is not great! That being said if you want to have a good time i definitely recommend somewhere else then here.

The shows are so good I felt like I was in a rap video. I come all the way from Seattle and while I’m in town this club is the main priority. The tenders and wonderful and the show girls are even better! I’ve got to say it’s the best in Portland. If I was a old man I’d probably have a heart attack.

Don’t put your money on the table at the main stage. A big girl with a big broom will come and sweep it off thinking that the money on the table neatly folded next to your wallet is fair game. I don’t think she knows any better.

Review №37

Came in with my Wife and we had a really good time until the end. Excellent club, all of the ladies were super hot and the stage show and lap dances were dynamite! The only ugly mar on our visit was a single bouncer. The one with the tatooed head. If I want tips on what to do if you drop out of high school, Ill come to him for advice. Otherwise he should probably just watch out for trouble rather than trying to cause it. His pushy Advice on tipping angered my wife to the point that we left much earlier and with more money than we would have. So thanks for that I guess. 5 star establishment terrible security.

We will never go back. To pricey. Got a booth and was told a price and that there is a upgrade for the bottle we chose. This would have been fine but she never disclosed the price of the bottle . Our bill was triple the cost of what the bar maid stated at the end. She ran our card with out ever saying how much. This is wrong and illegal me er never will we go back.

This is one among 100 club I have visited, they have employed kids who dont know how to deal with customers! One kid looking guy asking me to put my mobile on table and not to keep in hand, who is going to take photo and make it cover page of hustler magazine. Really silly, never faced such an issue in my years of club life. DJ is below average, grow up! Dancer Girls and waitress are good! Only one plus abt this place....

The first time I went there it was kinda like hole in the wall type of place as I suspected. The dancers were ok, the service.. I could care less because the bouncer was utterly dumb struck that he couldnt believe that I was over 21. Bouncers arent the most lively bunch in the world because there just an Ogre that dont care and most likely would rather kick your ass and throw you out in the street.

Kit Kat Club is everything you would hope to see in a strip club and more. Fun times, cute girls, awesome bar staff, great environment, and to top it all off, the club shares its name with a candy bar. Would recommend checking this place out if you want to see the best of Portlands strip clubs.

This place offers something different. It is not a Spyce or a Spearmint Rhino or a Safari. It is its own thing and it usually does its thing very well.Its an interesting offering in really quite a nice environment. Most of the girls are quite talented and creative.
