I have been here a handful of times and each experience is worse than the last. Ive had one good night here. When promoters dont deliver tension is understood but for those that do show up to celebrate or vibe appreciate their service dont be ungrateful. It seems like some staff changes have taken place.

A little crowded! But I loved the atmosphere and the music was awesome!!

Great service. Well made drinks. A spot to enjoy yourself and get your get on!

We reserved the VIP hip/hop room put $300 down. When we arrived they walked us to a table. I asked what table that was they stated the fireplace. Price difference between fireplace and hip hot is $200. They had no intention of telling me they downgraded us. Luckily melissa a girl who works there gave us a different table and two bottles plus champagne for the $300 I put down originally. She informed me that someone put $600 down on the hip/hop room. I think class goes a long way regardless of establishment and this act was not classy.On another note their dance floor is so incredibly small. And not enough seating so people are quite literally milling around the dance floor space.*security was awesome.. super respectful!*melissa tried but to be fair if I put a security deposit down that should be considered law.*seven in bend Oregon can definitely give you pointers. Still our top club.*will try dirty next time we are in portland.

Went there with a couple of friends and they wouldn’t let me in because I had a j in my pocket which I completely understand so we decided to go somewhere else but my two friends had already paid the cover charge and didn’t even go in and they refused to give their money back even though WE DIDNT EVEN GO IN.... crooked bouncers.

They charged $50 to my card for $22 worth of drinks. Ive been trying to call Shake to get a refund since mid-January, but they have not answered-- no matter the day or time.

Great staff and location, reccomended. Really appreciated the help hosting a meetup group. Thank you!

Dont want to get shot. Will never go again.

I was in this club for my friends birthday. Our bar tender not only noticed when i finished my drink, but came over right away and asked if i wanted another one, but remembered what i was drinking. Not only that but noticed that on my first drink i asked for more juice ( was a vodka orange) and made it to my likeing without me saying anything. Will defiantly comming back!!!

Im just not into EDM, so that is my fault. But I wish the house lights went dimmer so that it can be a little more intimate. The R&B side was popping when we would go to the other side of the curtain, wish the part was bigger. A dude and my friend had a break dancing battle, very happy that no one tried to stop them.

I am shocked that this place has so many stars. My husband and I attended a birthday party for one of my girlfriends there last night and it was hands down one of the most awful experiences I have ever had at a nightclub. My girlfriend paid over $1000 dollars for her VIP table and wasnt even able to get inside for a good 30 min. The staff was rude and completely unaccomadating. Once we finally got to the table we couldnt even enjoy the bottle she bought for the table (it was locked and there was no one in sight to serve it to us almost the entire time). We had strange men that came and sat at our table and refuse to leave and when we had security come to ask them to leave the table the guys straight up said no we arent going to leave and security just walked away!! It was crowded and when I left the table to go to the bathroom I wasnt allowed back in to the VIP area where our table was for another 30 min. At that point I just wanted to get my stuff and leave but the security refused to even allow me to go to the table to do that!! I was forced to wait in that stupid line just so I could get my things to leave! DO NOT GO TO SHAKE. DO NOT spend your money here. These people have no idea how to run a club and take care of their high paying customers. Worst experience ever.

Our bartender (Tara) was awesome, bottle service was great..however at 10pm on a Friday my friends and I were the only people in the club. We were celebrating a bday and reserved a table and the DJ was incredibly rude to us and refused to play 1 r&b song for her (birthday sex)...AND WE WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THE CLUB...I asked if its only hip hop played there or if they ever play any dance music, like Odesza, and he tells me uh yea I dont even know why that is.. youre a nightclub DJ and you dont know who Odesza is!? The DJs attitude pretty much threw a wet blanket on the experience so we left; and then at 11pm the club was literally empty. Kind of a bummer experience and I used to bartend years ago in some of Portlands hottest clubs(2007-2010; Barracuda, Aura, Gypsy, Lotus...) and currently work summers at Las Vegas biggest pool parties. Your bar staff is great; but your DJ needs improvement. :/

Love this place! One of my favorite venues to DJ in Portland!

The place is overpriced and overrated. You can hardly dance and getting a drink is a pain, considering you have to pay $10-20 to get inside. Though it wasnt their fault that someone had a bowel accident on the dance floor, they were quick to react and were professional.

Favorite club downtown! They play the best music, the oldies that you can actually dance to!

Pretty popular, long wait to get in. Strong drinks nice bar tenders. Good security. Great DJ!

Some friends and I were here on New Years Eve and will not be returning due to the bad experience. Rude bouncers. Weak drinks. Not a lot of room to dance. There are way better clubs in Portland and I would never go back to Shake.

Venue lacks any professionalism. Kicking off and not paying booked DJs (in a packed room?!?) when management decides they would rather a different type of music. Not to mention screwing over customers left and right. Giving away reserved and paid for ViP tables when somebody with more money comes through. As well as security that would rather be on their phones than letting guests into the venue.

Had a fantastic time there, DJ was amazing, staff excellent and friendly, danced until I was half blind with sweat then danced some more! Dropped one star because the music was WAY too loud for the small space (I usually enjoy loud music but this was insane), it was uncomfortable to be there and my ears hurt for hours after leaving. Adjust the volume and you shall have all my stars and much repeat business, Shake! :)

Love the hip hop room of this club but sucks how you have to pay to get into it. I think that should change!

Great place for dancing, without judgement, and drinks!! Definitely wear waterproof shoes and/or slip proof shoes, lots of spills and party fouls happening on the dance floor (when the good songs come on).

My friend and I had a good time dancing. The new ownership did a good job of making a cool new layout with two different dancing areas. However, we got really bad, pretentious vibes from people populating the club.

Lit asf. Hip hop room is a must here. Can order tables and bottles

Despite my cool pics posted below, this place blows to anyone that knows the bureaucracy associated with how they treat djs

Modern dance music and younger crowd. One room was playing EDM and the other was playing rap. Cute Bartenders occasionally.

Worst place in Portland, no space and pathetic staff

Good atmosphere. The VIP lounge was a little too loud. And that is saying something since I listen to my music loud. Entrance fee was $10 for girls and $20 for men.

Dress well and come for dj dubstep. Not a bad venue but your crowd can change the experience drastically. If you bring your own entourage, youll have a good time. If you are bringing a date, have a backup plan because you may get a pretentious crew.

Awesome place usually packed has good music good host VIP seating ladies free

Fun, good music, good vives and nice people.

Staff are quick about getting drinks to you, but the people that go here are rude and very often nasty towards others

Always have such a great time here! Definitely my favorite club to go to in Portland!

Had so much fun there good music

Went for my 21st and had so much fun️️️

I guess Im not much of a night club guy... this place is the favorite of some friends, but I found it a liiiiittle too far on the Seizure-inducing strobe lights/bass so loud you cant actually hear the music end of the spectrum.$10 cover wasnt heinous on a Saturday night, and a lot of pretty ladies doing their thing, but ultimately, I prefer places where you can dance when you want to, and talk/drink when you dont. This place, you have to touch your mouth to someones ear and shout to be heard, and that was in the quiet half... the VIP area was physically painful.If you want to dance and not talk to anyone, this place will do the trick I guess. Just know youre going to have tinnitus for a couple days afterwards...

Had a blast here during the Pokemon pub crawl.

Beautiful venue and the music on Wednesday is amazing

We had a table here. My friend was jet lagged and fell off the couch, but got two large Xs on both hands and was told he was cut off. He wasnt really told why or how they came to that conclusion. Also, no asian women here.

Bartender “Melissa” was extremely rude to our “vip” group lmao

Well one of my friends couldnt come in because he hadnt dressed high class and didnt look hype enough

Great local DJs!

Great drinks and electrically funkstalicious!

Not that cool. Below average.

Great Club, good music, lots of fun!

Too much pricey...cover charges are very high, still you cant go to dance floor on weekends...extra charge for dance floor...also very congested place...people stand on corridor and dance?...if you ready to spend 100+, go there...

Spent over $900 in table and bottles. Cant even get to my own table after using bathroom, because they over sold the room.

That club Go

Ok club, friendly staff

Favorite nightclub!

This place gets nothing, but you cant post without giving 1 star. Bartender charged $28 for 4 beers. Enough said. Dirty rats.

Chill spot

Cool place

$10 cover?!

Poo

6 bucks for a bud light. Like what?

Nice ambiance.

Lame and too crowded

Great spot

My favorite ultra lounge in portland
