My best friend had his birthday party here this last Friday. He had previously come to the club to check it out and see if it would work for his party. He text me the next day saying that the drinks and food were so great and he couldnt wait to celebrate there. He had talked with the owner to set up when the party would be and what not. When we arrived my best friend told the two women outside who he was and that there is a room waiting for us. These two woman had no idea who we were and didnt have a name written down. The guy that stamps your wrist came over and asked what was wrong and if we had paid the cover yet. He treated us like we were scum. One of the girls finally went and got the owner. Then she came back and told us to go a head inside. We took over a room closest to the door and waited for our the waitresses that had said they would be helping us. It took 30 minutes to get someone to help us. Finally my friend went out and ordered from the bartender who, he said, had been very helpful and friendly the last time he was there and was this time as well. He started a tab out with the bartender and we got some drinks. About 10 minutes after that 2 waitresses came in to help us. We were then told that one waitress was brand new and the other waitress would be helping us as well. Not a good start when you have a party of 30 people coming. We finally got to order after asking a couple different people to come in and take our order as other guest started to arrive. The food took about an hour to get out to us and it tasted horrible. One of my friend got chicken alfredo and she said the pasta was completely cold. The rest of us got burgers that tasted funny. My best friend said the food was so much better last time. After that people started drinking and having a good time. Around 1am we decided to leave. We started paying our tabs. The waitress came in and told me that sense we had brought in a cake that there was a $15 charge for it. I told her we tried to pay that in the beginning but no one wanted to take it; plus after all the crap in the beginning of the evening I thought she should take it off the tab. She just shrugged at me. So I asked her to put it on my tab so my best friend didnt have to pay for it. I didnt want him more upset with how this night was going. He then got his tab but they didnt bring in his ID and debit card that he had left with the bartender. He asked the waitress to go out and pick it up for him when she brought back his tab. We got our tabs paid for and left. The next morning my best friend cant find his ID or debit card. The waitress didnt bring it over to him. I was so disappointed with this place. I cant believe the level of service that we got. It was awful.

Time and time again, Ill be at some of the usual bars in Portlands own Burnside strip. Romtoms with its great outdoor area, Plan-B with its grunge, and Doug Fir with its firepit and amazing music stage. Down the street I see this giant purple & pink blob that just never sat right. One day we all decided we were going to finally check this monster out, and boy were we absolutely on spot with our assumptions. Our friend knew the KJ and said we could probably work something out to get in for free and avoid the $10 cover. We waited outside in the rain, all huddled under the one mini-tent they had for what seemed like 30 minutes. There was nobody in line, and and the place was not that crowded. What was the deal? It turns out while the KJ was aware of our group arriving, the door person was not allowing it without all of us paying their steep cover. Screw it, we all agreed! Halfway down the street one of the promoters came out and offered us to get in. He knew that our business was appreciated and respected that we were here to have a good time, not to start a gang war or to come in and dry hump all of the ladies, we had a pretty even ratio. After a nice pat down, ID check, and photo taken of us (what is this for?) we were all in. The place is right out of Vegas. Bright, flashy screens playing random MilkDrop-esque patterns, heavy bass that prevents you with conversing with anyone, high fashion and dress codes. I went to the bar. I had a few drinks already but wanted a few more to get my Karaoke-level buzz going. A Modelo I ask for... $5.75. Okay this is high scale pricing... I get it. My second beer, a little cheaper this time... $5.25. What did I order? A Bud Lite. $5.25 for a Bud Light bottle. I stopped my drinking right there. We retreated into the karaoke room which, actually was not too bad. The KJs were on spot and we all got a turn to sing through the night. If you could somehow manage to direct-feed me into the karaoke room here and avoid the entire "Vegas Club" experience, I may come back.

Im familiar with this club since they opened and it has transformed with experience and seems to only get better depending on what you are looking for. It appears in efforts not to be the same all the time and as a very young club it has morphed and will continue to change over the years to keep it fresh. As far as I know, it is the largest club in PDX and they aim to please. Karaoke in one room and the line is usually short as most of the folks in the room are spectators. Latin music in the "White" room; labeled that merely because of the decor... The main room changes nightly... call ahead. Its always dance but the music style changes. Sometimes they have live music and they are absolutely set up for it. Prices are a little higher than average but you get what you pay for! If its not your scene one night, try a different night! Across the street from another fantastic venue, The Doug Fir

Everything was great except for the karaoke, which is every night. The bartenders, manager, food, layout, venue, dancing/seating, and drinks are all good. Im however a karaoke enthusiast and was mistreated by the two KJs, one working and one out for fun(which is even worse), on sunday night. I sat there waiting while they let a regular sing three times, including two songs in a row at the end of the night, then told me they didnt have time to put me up after I had just spent 70$ in the hour i was there on drinks/tips for a couple friends and myself (the bartenders here are some of the best ive ever had). Ive been looking for a local regular place to go since the Boiler Room downtown recently closed, after going there for years, and the karaoke DJs at Trio have unfortunately pushed me away to keep my search active. If you dont do karaoke though everyhing else about this place is awesome.

Best club in Portland!!! The main venue is dance hip-hop and it was just the right amount of people; crowded but you could shake it just fine without being elbowed. I would say about 100 people in the hop hop stage. There is another room sectioned off with Latino dance music and that was packed as well; about 70-80 people. I went on a Saturday night and it was so much fun!!!! The security was great so you also felt safe while partying. The drinks were average and you had to wait too long but the atmosphere definitely made up for it. There is also a little tiny room for karioke that can hold about 30 people. Each room is structured so the sounds is contained and the different genres dont bleed into each other and the volume is perfect; not to load where you cant even feel your own heartbeat but load enough to get your blood flowing.
