My friend got really drunk one time and we were trying to carry her out of the club and got stopped by an alcohol monitor. Thought we were going to get in trouble but the guy was so sweet and helped us to a quiet room where he brought us all water and pizza to help our friend sober up and waited with us until our ride came. This place takes care of there women to make it a safe club for them!

This is reeseypiecey. Im the black dude with red dreads. I go to this club often and I have a blast everytime. It is crowded but thats a good thing because we could meet more people. The service is great and the bar tenders is on point. Great club to go and have fun.

I had the best night of my life last Friday. The poles are super fun if you behave yourself the bouncers will let you play to your hearts content. I went and got to dance dirty till 2 in the morning it was so fun.I felt safe with those guys and appreciate what they do.

Went here with some friends while on vacation, when one of my friends got sick, they took good care of him. Giving him free pizza and water before sending us on our way. Never had such a compassionate experience at a bar. Sean the bouncer was so nice.

I don’t know about all these bad reviews BUT on Friday night I left my brand new phone AND wallet at this bar. Both were kept safe and I had no problems when arriving to pick them up on TUESDAY EVENING. a nice man that worked there even took his time to show me how to use the find my phone app. I’m really impressed. My card wasn’t even charged for a single drink. My best friend and I will go back , for sure!

I wish I can give them zero stars. Cost us $10 per person to get in, and they didn’t even charge other people in line. I guess that’s what you get when you wear full clothing. Drinks we’re expensive and didn’t even taste good. Bartender was rude, and would serve the guys when I was in line first. We ended up renting a booth and paid for bottle service but never got a bottle. All in all, I think Dixies a crossed the street would be more worth your time.

Zero stars is the appropriate rating. I paid for a $24 and a $28 transaction at this bar. I noticed today that they ran my card for $30 and another $30. Since when did fraud and stealing money from customers become cool? I advise to only spend CASH if you go here.

Review №10

I thought that the atmosphere was pretty decent, we got in for free due to connections we had but the drink prices are absolutely absurd! I could not believe how much they charge for drinks! I would suggest pregaming HARD before setting foot in this establishment because its hard to afford to drink here, youd probably have gotten more money out of me with lower drink prices!

Review №11

Loved this club until this weekend, they charged me 26 dollars for 2 drinks and recently checked my account and they added their OWN 10 dollar tip. Ive read the reviews and it seems like I am not the only one. Please be careful when using your card, I would NOT suggest going here unless you have cash.

Too small, expensive. There should be a limit on people.. I been here twice. We reserve a table which made it more fun. Two time we show up and crowded.

Review №13

I have worked in the bar industry for nearly 7 years and this was one of my worst experiences, not only were the tables over priced for a VIP that let everyone else in for free (bouncers friends) the bouncer who monitors the VIP area told me Hey bro, because you got a good deal on the table, if you pay me, I will take good care of youFirst of all, why is a bouncer openly asking for a tip after I just spent $400 for a table to assure me he would take care of me?This is extortion to its finest, one member of the group I was with, was not let back into the bar when he went out to smoke, the door guy said he would let him back in if he gave him $20.This is by far one of the worst security staffs in the entire city of Portland, the Security crew are a bunch of extortionists, who not only do NOT by any means make you feel safe, but have the exact opposite affect.

Review №14

Went there with a group of my friends for my birthday this past Saturday and they wanted to charge us $300 for vip. A person in my party stepped outside for a few minutes and had to pay to re enter although we had already spend a lot in the beginning. Also just found out my friends card was charged multiple times. Without them knowing. Over crowded and the staff wasn’t the friendliest.

Review №15

Horrible! We were suppose to get into the club with the DJ of the night. Giving 5 stars so this will be shown. The security takes their job way too serious. I get it the place was really packed but we had been talking to the DJ all night and we were suppose to get in. Ryan told us to wait on the STREET mind you it was raining(?) we wait in the street, then get told to get in line. We get in line and then get told we have to pay! Until my friend pulled out her PRIVATE messages between her and the DJ, and then they still didn’t care. Until the security who told us to wait in the street and to get in line showed up. Then they recanted us having to pay. I will never come back here again. This is crazy. Security thinks they make the rules, stop you get paid by the NIGHT! Just stop.

I threw my bestfriends bachlorett party here and it was amazing. The music was great and the staff was outstanding. They gave us an extra bottle of champagne just because that was awesome. Also my friend left her phone there and didnt realize until we were out of town. When I asked Ryan to look he did right away found ut and mailed it the next day!! Thank you so much for a fantastic night out and great service, Dirty you Rock!

I went to Dirty Nightlife on a solid Saturday Night with free cover thanks to Ryan Scott who is the assistant manager over there. I immediately ordered an AMF upon arriving which is my signature favorite. After doing my usual dancing, I realized that I lost my iPhone XS Max. I went to talk to the security about it and they told me they will help me and will keep a look out for it. Even though I just chilled for most of the night until closing worried about my phone they made sure I was taken care of. Ryan even ordered a lyft back for me to get my car in Beaverton.The next day, they were able to discovered that my phone was picked up from the waitress that works there and it was kept at Dirty until I was able to pick it up. I will definitely be coming back to Dirty Nightlife due to their amazing service in a fast-pace environment.

Review №21

Boisterous nightclub & dancing destination with floor-to-ceiling colored lights & a full bar.Thats how they get you. However, this bar is a huge shamThought Id follow my group in and give them the benefit of doubt but after tonight, Im sticking to my intuition. Itll never be about the customers.Customer service is the last think to think when this bar comes to mind. Dirty has the most emotionless robotic staff Ive ever seen. Not a single one smiled or had a how may I help you vibe.If that isnt bad enough, it seems as though they only care about ripping people off and over pricing for everything. For instance, with my head turned, i asked my friend what she wanted for a drink, and the bartender snatched my card from my hand. Then proceeded to come back with a receipt of $40 for 3 drinks. They were 3 glasses of Cola.The ATM there is just for looks, so even if you wanted to use cash you couldnt, which seems even more like a scam. Dont got here unless you expect to get ripped off.

Anti queer and shamed and felt like I had to leave. When leaving with my friends they offered us free drinks. Still even then when we were outside they were extremely unwelcoming. We left with staff at the door arguing with me.

My Boyfriend wasn’t let in because of his colors he was wearing.. he was literally wearing a navy blue outfit with a thin red and white line on the sides (made in America) from Holister. Maybe something more to do with the color of his skin? Very disappointing. Further action? Yes.

Review №24

I removed cups dropped on the dance floor to less populated areas and some dude thought I was throwing garbage at him so security told me. This guy is a regular, I know you didnt do anything but please go to the other side so if you spend a lot of money rules dont apply to you. In addition this place makes Skid Row look like the Ritz.

Review №26

Great night club. Im not sure about the negative reviews. I guess they just arent use to cities and night clubs. I felt perfectly safe. I was looking for good EDM and found it here. It doesnt start until midnight, but its worth the wait. I also felt safe on the streets around the night club. There are so many people out and lots of security. Drinks are a little pricey. Pregame somewhere else.

I ordered two double whiskey gingers and the bartender poured them with crown royal without asking. Then she stuck her hand out and asked for $36. It was ridiculous. And normal drinks are super expensive as well. $7 singles and $14 doubles. Only positive is music in the back room is good.

I have never bothered to write a review because I think they are a waste of time. I chose to do it for dirty because this is a business that I feel just needs to stop. I had no jaw dropping experience, and no beef with anyone working there. I can tell you that I felt the staff are incredibly rude, the place is homophobic, sexist, discrimatory to people with disabilities, and cheats. I’ve seen girls get drugged there by creepy men, and when I approached a staff member they just laughed. They don’t cut any drunk people off, and they expect the women in there to dance on the poles. This place is not a safe place. They steal money from you, and write in there own tips that are way too much than what they deserve. Do not waste your money here. P.S. you can’t wear hats inside.

Review №35

If there was a way to put negative stars I would. This place let two different bartenders charge two different prices for the same drink. Overheard him say serve the hot girls first and then just skipped myself and a friend in line. They wrote in their own tips on our receipts and to top the whole night off, I was being assaulted by a man I refused a drink from and the bouncer kicked my friend and I out after the man repeatedly grabbed me and pushed me. THIS PLACE IS GARBAGE AND THE PEOPLE ARE GARBAGE.. REPORTING THEM FOR STEALING FROM ME FOR WRITING IN THEIR OWN TIPS!!!!!!!!

I wish to God I could give this raggedy club no stars!!!! This club is not a good place. My son was attacked by another customer, suffered a concussion and were not sure if anything else is wrong as of yet. But then after letting him get repeatedly punched in the back of the head, they didnt do anything nor did they call the police. Now my son is 86th for getting jumped on. I believe he was 86th because he is transgender. So this isnt the last you will hear from me. I wont stop until your club is shut down!!!

Literally the worst night club Ive ever been too. The bouncers are incredibly rude. I even asked to talk to the manager and the manager walked away without even an apology for the way the bouncers were acting. The worst night club Ive ever been too and I would not pay money to ever go there again. Theres a reason this nightclub has almost as many negative reviews as it does positive. This place should be shut down because its awful.

Review №41

I like how it is like 2 clubs in one. The main area is devoted to top 40 hits and then there is the back area with a light up floor and techno music playing. There are usually too many people in here and I almost dont like going there when Im constantly touching strangers. There is a VIP area and the boucers are really nice - they look out for you.

So I went here with a few friends on a Friday and the experience was very unsatisfying. Cover was $10. All the drink prices are ridiculous, $20 for a double shot red bull and vodka?? Made with well vodka at that. The main entrance room plays mainstream club hits that are absolute garbage to the ears. No wonder people drink excessively here. The second room which they open late night is a little better, they actually have some people DJing, mostly playing housey music which while its still EDM they really should mix up the sounds a bit. I will not be coming back here. There are way better clubs that actually have some talent up there spinning without the crazy drink costs and cover. Thanks for wasting my time Dirty.

The bartenders pour water in your drink cleverly disguised as vodka bottles (I even watched them cleaning up one night pouring water into a vodka bottle!) I cant believe people still even go to this trash dump.

Review №55

Way way over crowded. Getting pushed around constantly not even enough room to dance at all. Cant get drinks because you cant get close enough to the bar. Cant stand in certain areas because your blocking another area. Absolutely awful I mean I was literally rubbing up against every person as I was shoved around. Waste of money and time waiting in that rediculous line.

THIS PLACE DISCRIMINATES AGAINST PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES!!!!!!Im 22 years old and have had cerebral palsy since birth. Like any 22-year-old I enjoy going to clubs downtown with my friends.Last Thursday I went out to this club with a few friends. When we got to the front of the line, a man interrupted us and insisted that loud music was bad for my certified assistance dog, who always goes everywhere with me. My friend assured him that she has been to many clubs and that this would not be a problem. My friend was responding for me because the man would not speak to me directly. He then went on to say that they werent liable if she ate something off the floor or if anything bad happened to her. My friend told him that my service dog was our total responsibility. What really upset me is that he next said that she needed a muzzle to enter the club. My friend, who is also a caregiver of mine, told him that a service dog needs to to have his mouth free to do his job. At this point he asked for proof that my dog was indeed certified. (She has a card on her vest to prove it.) He continued to argue with my friend even after I went into the club. Later on I found out that he had asked if I had seizures, because, he said, the flashing lights would bring them on. I doubt very much if he would have asked anyone else in that line such an intrusive question.I feel like this man targeted me because I am in a wheelchair and did everything he could to prevent my entering the club. If this isnt discrimination, I dont know what is!Published by her friend.

This place is okay when youre drunk and want to get in for free before ten as a lady. I do love when they open the techno room around 12am.

Im going to have to give 1 star. This was the first time Ive ever been to this bar. Little taken aback by the stripper poles but to each his own, i was mainly in the back room with my girlfriend dancing.Now why i like this bar: bc you can dance to fun music in the backroom.Why i will never go back: i dont know how many times i had a stranger try to put their hands down my pants. Not only when i tried to push their hands away they were there again.Disgusting.I was with my girlfriend and we wanted to have a fun time, this place made me so uncomfortable.

Dirtys dance floor is tiny! An they put up poles for laies to dance on with only a 4 inch dance surface. It really is a set up for disaster and falling. The spinroom next door has a more decent sized dance floor with light up colors. Its pretty cool in there. Id stay in the Spinroom side.

Review №62

Lemme just start out by saying this club is one of the most ratchet/ghetto clubs in Portland if you can even call it a club... You would think that customer service would be on the for front of ones mind when charging hundreds of dollars for a table to sit at. I was sitting at a table around 10 Pm and the lady at 11 rudley said we had to buy the table or move. I gave her a few hundreds and said bring me my change. After an hour of sitting at this table I went outside to grab something from my car. Their door is broken and is slammed a little bit when I went outside. The security all looked at me like I had killed someone, I came back to get in and they wouldnt let me back in, 1) they wanted my ID which I had left with my party at the table 2) they said since I slammed the door that I wasnt allowed back in anyway. I CAN NOT BELIEVE I PAID MONEY FOR A TABLE JUST TO NOT BE LET IN AN HOUR AFTER I FELT LIKE I WAS FORCED TO BUY THE TABLE. Lets just say I wouldnt ever go to or recommend this club for a night out or any special occasion unless you want to be treated like a second class citizen.

I DJ at this club I can assure you the Djs that play here are bar none the top of the food chain. The spin room is every Local DJs favorite place to play. Is it like all the people below described it. Emphatically yes THIS IS WHERE YOU COME TO RAGE! If your a whinny boring person go party on the eastside at a hipster bar. Other wise get your sexy on and know what your getting into! Drinks pricey? yes if you buy a double redbull vodka Meat market yes (your coming here to get laid) Great security yes (so some retard doesnt punch you). Will you have a great time and regret every minute of it in the morning yes! Prefer the weekday crowd weekends can get crazy!

Oh, Dirty, Dirty Dirty....Well placed in the heart of the Old Town Entertainment District it is on everyones bar crawl list, and shouldnt be.Dirty is for the suburban my life in Beaverton/Hillsboro/Gresham/Camas is hell crowd. If you are a guy, youll want to check your dates id to make sure you arent inadvertently breaking any statutes, and if youre a lady, guard your drinks well.Dirty wants to be a party place, and for sure, the music is loud, and the overpriced drinks flow. The line and velvet rope are managed to keep a line outside in anticipation. And everyone dresses more or less to impress.But really, with a dozen or so bars in a stones throw, theres no reason at all to go here. None.

Meh. The only reason I went in was because I was with a group of friends and one asked to get in free. We brought the average age down to about 32 (when most of us are 25). Watching the older women having fun was great, live and let live ladies! That was until the bouncer got onto the bar with one of the cougars and got a swing down. Then I look over and see a few of her friends dancing on the various stripper poles around the club. Most ridiculous. Then I went to the bar to get a cheap beer, and when I asked for a PBR the bartender looked at me, and was flabbergasted by my request we dont have PBR was his snooty reply and grabbed a Coors Light for me. Bartender gets a negative on that - Dont judge me... you work at a place called Dirty. Honestly, that name fits... it is just that, Dirty. Like actually dirty. Poor Christina Aguilera, they bit your great song for a terrible night club. But good music there!
