      <![CDATA[I like the inclusion of the Pirate's Cove bartender. Live down the street, generally never go to strip-bars, but have had two very notable experiences there.<br>
<br>
1. Went in on a hot afternoon a few years ago. The first dancer, a scraggly-ass specimen if there ever was one, shouted after her dance at the 3 folks at the bar:<br>
<br>
"Hey! Heyyyyyyyyy! Naked woman here! Fucking tip meeeeeeeeeeeee! Very funny. <br>
<br>
After that, the next dancer, this time dressed head to toe as if she was about to go skiing on Mt. Hood---hat, gloves, goggles and all--jumped up on the stage an proceeded to boogie in an amazing fashion and take off one garment at a time. Fucking hilarious.<br>
<br>
2. Went in late one night, completely frying on acid. Sat at the stage and just looked past the dancer at the mural on the wall. Tipped well, but she seemed disturbed that I hadn't really looked at her and high-tailed it out after her last song. Then again, maybe I'm just a creep.<br>
<br>
Lots of atmosphere there though---very cool and unique-looking place.

      <![CDATA[@Amazonfemme.....exactly. That is who the publication caters too. You  also could say hipsters/artists (and ppl who think they are)/, etc. Anyway, there are few surprises (the bike route thing was good) except how  did Chin Yen make the list? It appears way more young people are going there, why I don't know. Really average Chinese food (quality is questionable) of which I have heard a few gastronomic misadventures. Maybe if you order in the lounge, in which case you are probably hammered and it won't matter

      <![CDATA[Meh.  While I anticipated it, I'm a little disheartened at how reader demographic-centric the picks were.  I often wish papers who do guides like this would do a little outreach outside of their comfort zones to gain a little perspective and have a little more well-rounded a "city" guide.<br>
<br>
That said, it's a good where-to-go-what-to-do guide for anyone in inner pdx who is young, white, and has some money.
