Devils Point — Restaurant in Portland

I have mixed feeling about this place. The concept as a whole is entertaining. The dancers and staff are SUPER nice, HOWEVER one bartender in particular is keeping me from giving Devil's Point 5 stars: Lisa. She started out super nice and friendly, then she suddenly turned into to drink Nazi. I don't know if she was having a bad day or she was on her period or whatever, but she had a full on power trip just randomly cutting people off from drinking. There were lots of complaints about her at the end of the night with other customers I made friends with at the bar. I was not being belligerent or out of control or anything, she just refused to serve me anymore drinks at some point. This was fine. I was still enjoying myself. I continued to mingle and make new friends and as I did, they offered to buy me a drink. Then she suddenly gave them the 3rd degree asking who they are buying drinks for...🙄🙄🙄

At the end of the night she pulled me aside telling me I was being kicked out because other people bought me drinks...Again I was not excessively drunk or being inappropriate or anything. She was just on a power trip. The bouncer that she forced to kick me out felt so badly for me. He also agreed that I was totally good and pleasant and wasn't sure why she asked him to kick me out, but he had to do what she said. Maybe it was racially motivated??? I'm not sure. All I know is that I will NOT be returning. As much as I LOVED this place, Lisa's attitude and actions toward the end of the night completely ruined it for me. She is not my babysitter and whole experience left me feeling extremely disrespected. I'm sure plenty of other Portland bars will be happy to take my money the next...

My friend and I had a good time here last night, overall. The music was great – very versatile genres–, and it was fun watching the DJ singing songs aloud with one of the dancers. Jamison, a gorgeous dancer who joined us at the bar, was a gem – really funny and sweet. The worst part was the ghastly bartendress who was completely disrespectful and strangely standoffish for no discernible reason. My friend, who doesn't go out to bars that often, politely asked her what kind of shots they serve, to which she irritably responded "it's a bar; we serve all kinds of shots", or something of the sort. He had also been wondering how beer comes up from the keg to the tap, so I took it upon myself to ask her when I ordered another drink, prefacing my question with "I work in a bar too, so I should know this, ...". Her snarky response was "you work in a bar and you don't know how kegs work"? She then confirmed my initial (tentative) response to my friend that it was CO2, after I defensively mentioned I was a barBACK. Just nasty, rude, and vile, when we weren't being obstreperous or anything. I know all too well that customer service can be a pain, but her untoward impertinence stuck with me. I know I'm not the only one whose experienced was worsened by her. Otherwise a pleasant laid-back locale with a...

I was a first time visitor on a Stripparoake night, what a blast! It's great to find a club where the girls dance and the customers appreciate it with tips. I am just so exhausted by the typical club now in the US where girls push push push for lap dances and private but half-heartedly stage dance. Devil's Point doesn't book girls who aren't top notch entertainers so you wont be disappointed in that regard. Otherwise, every employee was engaging and friendly. Yes, there are rules at the door, the bouncer is just doing his job. Understand there is a little bit of vetting going on at the door to weed out the potential troublemakers, expect it and be patient. The DJ is kool even joining in on Kareroke when there isnt a waitlist, the dancers may sign as well. Lisa is friendly at the bar. Kareroke is what it is, it attracts a variety of people, lots of music that I hadnt heard before and without exception everyone was better than me, literally sing what you want, no restrictions. It was just light-hearted fun Kareroke, not a competition. People were free to do different takes on songs, exagerrate emotion, and be funny. One of the best nights in my life! Only negative is the size of the club, weekend nights it might be...
