Pitiful Princess

This is the best club in PDX, well worth the drive

It's a little "low-end". But you have to know that going in. With that said, they treat their customers like they're at home. I like the girls and they're very friendly. Drinks are cheap and the bartenders are good. I would easily say this is my favorite spot to wind down after a long day.

There are more strip clubs in Portland per capita than almost any other city in America.  With so many, clubs in Portland have a fairly casual nature about them. It's not uncommon for couples, groups of women and mixed groups to go to a strip club and grab a drink.

With by far the most sarcastic and fitting name of any Portland strip club, Pitiful Princess in deep deep SE is exactly what the name says.  The inside of the club is actually fairly clean. The owner who took the place over from a former strip club has put a nice layer of paint over everything added monogramed bar stools and lit the club well.

Drinks are in the $7.50 range for a shot of whisky, on par with many clubs but high for the area. We went on a Tuesday night and the dancer quality was fair to middling for Portland. One dancer seemed to embody the 'Pitiful Princess' theme perfectly and danced like she was bored out of her mind.  

The dancers though were friendly and while they aren't the creme of the crop in town, I've seen much worse.  Interestingly there are office chairs that surround the rail, not sure if that's a good thing or bad. But it's an interesting choice non the less.

Aside from checking in on Yelp or 4 Square to say you've been to Pitiful Princess, there really isn't a compelling reason to drive all the way to deep SE (if you live closer in to the city) to go to this place.  It's not a bad strip club and it has a fairly decent and friendly bar to sit at and have a drink. Aside from the name it's just fairly unremarkable.

Still if you live in that area, you could do a LOT worse.
