7 reviews for The Dolphin II
I think that Randal never made into the Dolphin. Food? Come on.
This place is the one with the helicopter out front isn't it?
Oh yeah, and the live entertainment is STELLAR. There are the kinds of girls that you'd take home to Mom if they had their clothes on. Very pretty, conventional, and um, pretty. Contrast with Acropolis...
The original Dolphin is on McLaughlin about a mile from the Acropolis, but this stupid Yelp thing won't let me add it. I prefer the original to the II, mainly because there are more dancers and it is closer to the Acrop.
the Dolphin II does not for a good time make really.
First let me say this - pretty much any strip club in America can be redeemed at least for a few songs by a good and pretty girl. It can be a stnky dive, or an overpriced glamour hole but if you are sitting at the rack and a girl comes out who hits all the right buttons of what you think is hot well, the rest of the place goes by by for a few minutes. And DII has a few girls who fit that bill for me... But... if they aren't dancing then I look around and...
I see overpriced drinks, an unnecessary cover every night, overpriced food menu, food is just OK not that great. Dancers stuck in corners where they can't leave those corners unless they are performing. Why is this? It is because those particular dancers are under 21!
2 song sets where the songs are often cut off before they are really over (norm is 3-4 at other places depending on night). Girls sometimes don't get fully nude (which is standard at other clubs) and the few times I've gotten private dances they haven't been fully nude and I've heard one stripper tattling on another stripper for being too touchy feely in the PD area.
For a "fancy" VIP room type club, also known as "Vegas style" I prefer Stars - girls there are more into it. I won't go back to D2 after the last few visits.
I hate these places.
The best part about any strip club is people-watching the hordes of retarded guys who eat up every line the girls (who are obviously BS'ing) throw out. Funnier is when these idiots try to exchange phone numbers and get the "Oh, yeah sure! Write it on this napkin!" response. Sure she's gonna call you dude, sure she is. Sure she's only worked here a week, sure she's a nanny on the side, sure this is her last night dancing, sure she's got an interview to be a receptionist tomorrow morning at 9am. sure, sure sure.
The drinks are hilarious as well. Some sap bought a girl a $13 "Cherry vodka w/7-up" which came to the table promptly, ....sans carbonation of course. Hmm... looked a lot like ice water to me.
I swear on my life I will never be desperate enough to take a strip club seriously. And for the daily, pathetic crowd, let's be totally real for a second. If it's skanks you're after, you're in the wrong place, AND you're paying too much. There are plenty of people out there willing to give it up for free (or VERY little). But if you haven't figured that out by now, maybe you're better off being bled dry in a gentlemen's club. Stripper's gotta eat too I spoze'.
When I was living in California, I tended to think of strip clubs as a place where you went to drop a ridiculous amount of money, but this was mostly because I lived in or near the San Fernando Valley, known as the porn capital of the world, and most strip clubs practically served as auditions for wannabe porn stars there. As a result, a good portion of these clubs were "lap factories", where the girls did short and sometimes fairly meaningless stage dances and went around the club making the majority of their money through hustling guys for lap dances- $20 for topless and $40 for fully nude was the norm.
Moving to Portland has been a real treat as far as strip clubs go, as they've changed my perception to being more of a place that you go to, to have a drink, maybe watch a game, and then hey look, boobs. I have a better time justifying going out to a strip club that gets the fun part of it all right. This is not one of those clubs.
I came in around 1:40am or so after an excellent meal at Du Kuh Bee just up B-H Highway (review forthcoming) since I was in the mood to grab a drink and it was simple curiosity after having seen it so many times across the street from the Target I go to every now and then. Even with about 45 minutes left of their being open, they were still charging a $5 cover. Cheap for L.A. or Miami, but certainly not for Portland where we're used to not paying for covers at all- and pretty ridiculous when you're coming in that late. My urge for alcohol and scantily-clad bouncy ladies overcame my initial frugal twitch and I paid the $5. The ATM nearby also had a $5 charge. Fuck. There were two girls dancing near the entrance in a bit of a weird stage- no chairs or anything and it was super high so you had to stand where you'd normally see them. I noticed no one was tipping and then when I went over, realized why- these girls are lap dance hustlers, so I said no thanks and walked over to the bar which only had Jack Daniel's at a pricey $6 to get that with a coke kickback- and of course no free pours, carefully measuring the shot to make sure they'd rip me off well enough.
Looking around the club, I became more and more sour on it.. Fake blondes with fake tits and a total lack of enthusiasm on stage. The DJ was a dick to everybody, but especially the girls who he yelled at and hurried on to the stage to dance for ONE song. Most strip clubs make them dance for at least 2-3 songs, but it became apparent this was a hustle factory after a bit. I was all ready to huff and leave, but then the possibly most gorgeous dancer I'd seen in the city came out and danced and then I noticed a group of guys in the corner of the stage, one of whom was pretty tall and vaguely familiar, but I didn't recognize it.
It took me a second, but then I was like OH SHIT THAT'S DARIUS MILES. Seeing that the Grizzlies were in town for a game Saturday night at the Rose Garden confirmed my suspicions. This made me laugh, but then of course I had to go since dude obviously is going to get a lot more attention in this sort of setting and the club, well, if it's good enough for Darius Miles, it sure as hell isn't good enough for me. Shame he didn't trip over a chair and blow out his knee.
ahahahhahah! I just cannot stop laughing when I getinto this club! yes, I see boobs..... big boobie..... BIG FAKE BOOBIE. They are attached to creature whose face has been under the surgery knife so many times that they can hardly smile naturally!
I am not a frequent strip club visitor and I have a beautiful wife with natural though not basketball looking boobies. so I cannot say I am a good expert in reviewing strip club! I went there just to hang with one of my friend who happen spend a lot of time there.
Becasue I have been a good boy all my life and never got a dirty lap dance. My friend sent one to me. She is blonde. I had a lap dance with her. But I regretted spending $20 on that dance since I am not really attracted to her and it is set up by my friend. She was fake on every part of her body. When she tried to talk to me, we felt so disconnected since she cannot talk about anything intelligent beside suffocating me with her pair of "water filled baloon".
In the end, I had a great time. But I honestly prefer girls who have less fake meat on their body and more natural smile. I dont think you need to be intelligent to be stripper but at least be able to talke like normal person.
Club Dolphin II is for people who have miserable and sexless social life. Not really a place that has good looking girl to flirt with.
"Mom, can I marry her?"
It's a strip club. Never eaten there, but most strip clubs have decent food.
