Riverside Sports Bar & Lounge

Always a good time, good looking girls actually too; and they're cool about celebrating all sorts of events!
Drinks, lap dances, and naked women, although the weekends can get packed quick.

This wasn't planned. Is it ever really? Save for the typical celebratory events.

Riverside is indeed a legend in the area. At least most of the lady staff hold up their end of this standard. i must say, Trinity is a pretty talented performer and there were no buttah faces...or bodies.  

For a bonus, this joint sits right next to the Tillicum Inn-no joke jack ;)

Riverside is a legend.  I'd heard of this across-the-border/river-establishment for years.  I'd heard both scary and lustful stories.  I was always hesitant of making the 1hr trip down south, but as luck would have it, I recently made a trip to this venue with a female friend.  It was sort of a quick trip, but it was interesting to say the least.

So, I'd heard that Portland was the strip club capitol of the world, and I think I can vouch for that after hosting my bro's bachelor party:  Summer 2010.  With that experience, I was intrigued to make a trip across the border.

There were rumors of smiles, scars, and shadiness, but what I found was normalcy.

On a Saturday night, we approached the Riverside building.  There is a restaurant attached, and we thought the place was closed because there was no one in the restaurant, but patrons outside said, "nope, just walk on in."

So, there is a cover to get in (atleast on the night we were there);  it was something like $5-8.  That's a bit weak (there's no cover in Portland), but we're in Umatilla, so it wasn't a shock.

I was surprised by a few things when we walked in:  the place was packed, and the dancers were pretty good.  

Yeah, this place was hoppin' on a Saturday night.  Because of it's location, I'm sure this venue gets guests from all over eastern Washington (since there is nothing like this on this eastside...and probably including the west side as well.  That's just how Washington is).  

As for the dancers, they definitely had skills.  The pole work was above average, and the Saturday night shift included some definite lookers.  Because of this, I wondered where they came from.  Maybe they were from PDX?  Or were they from the Tri-Cities (ummm....nuh huh.)  Or could they be from Umatilla (definitely not).  

Anyway, Riverside was a surprise.
