Fun place! Felt really safe. But why is the music so bad? I've been to it a few times now and it's always frat boy music from the early 2000s. I get it if it's a theme but it's literally all the time. And then I saw that there is a DJ!! An actual DJ, with free will, actually deciding to do this . Every time. So many new clubby songs to play read more

Had a great time! I really think people leave fake bad reviews because the common complaints don't make any since to me. The music is a great mix, volume is not to loud and everyone seems very friendly! read more

I went for the first time last month and after my first night, I became a member. I've never been in any space where women are more desired, while also being respected and protected by the staff and most of the guests. It's the only place where I feel empowered to be completely exposed and vulnerable, but feel confident and sexy about it. There is the occasional creep who makes it in, but there's no real way to screen for them, but at least they don't stay for very long. My girlfriends and I feel very safe here, and anyone thinking of trying it should go to one of their "Newbie" nights, of which they have 2 each month. Tell them it's your first time so you can go on the tour which they will give to guests on their first time. And for any single men who are thinking of leaving a negative review because of the cost to get in, DON'T be that guy- think about it, it's simple. Women have very few many protected spaces in this world. Usually, we just have ladies rooms if we need a safe space, so places like this are very special for us. Therefore, it's reasonable and justified for single men to pay for the Privilege to be allowed to participate in such an empowering, safe, and protected space. If you're bitching about Privata's $$$, then the story I tell myself is that you didn't understand that perspective and/or respect it. Toodles! read more

So here is the deal. I have been here a few times and every single time the music is awful. They need a different DJ, literally everyone I have talked to agrees with me on this point. But even worse than the song selection is how loud it is. You can't talk to anyone without yelling and leaning in real close. My ears are still ringing from two nights ago. My friend left early because her throat hurt from yelling. They are damaging everyone's hearing and making the experience so much less enjoyable. I love dancing but the music never makes me want to dance. I love chatting with people, but it's very difficult to do so because of how loud it is. This place could be soo much better than it is. I haven't found anyone who disagrees with me either. Apparently they just don't take feedback from anyone about it. My friends volunteer there and they said the same thing. Please fix this Privata, I want to go more but my hearing can't take it anymore! read more

I went on a Threesome Thursday with my favorite couple and we had such an amazing time! I can't wait to come back to Portland so we can go again! read more

Always a great time!!!!! Love to dance and drink the night away and watch all the fun people! read more

Club Privata - Thank you for the wonderful NYE dancing !!! Great time! - Dance Clubs Near Me - Portland, Oregon

FOLLOW-UP REVIEW: Okay, so we have officially been back a third time, and we are glad we took the leap of faith to give it another chance. Here is what we've noticed since our last visit: *Preface: We are just super chill, normal people who very much enjoy meeting new friends and enjoying new experiences. In short: we're probably a lot like you! Okay, on to the follow-up review: 1. They had an actual, human DJ playing music this time, and it was music people actually KNEW. Okay, so even if they weren't all crowd-pleasing bangers one would expect from a club, at the very least we recognized most of the songs, and the sound was not thunderingly loud. We could actually hold a conversation in the seating areas. Yay! 2. They started offering their complimentary buffet again. Although perhaps not as ample as some of us may remember, it was really nice to see they offered something to satiate their patrons. And it's a good thing, as some couplings had worked up an appetite having so much fun! The food for purchase is still not all that great, and there really is not much to choose from. 3. The "clique" issue: Many reviewers here have noted the same thing we have -- cliques that just sort of keep to themselves; almost like they're at a school reunion or something. While chatting away, we discovered from a lovely, cheerful couple, who are longtime patrons, that these "cliques" are frequent guests of the Club. They surmised that the reason these groups come off as socially cold to others is because apparently, they don't socialize with those who are not friends/ also frequent patrons - fair enough... I suppose? Still, this does not fully explain away their pack mentality and perceived lack of sociability in what we, without question, consider not only a safe place, but one specifically designed to help people meet other, like-minded people. In my humble opinion, it would behoove these "cliques" to make others, especially newcomers, feel welcome. Returning patrons will help keep the lights on and the party going in, what most would agree, is quite the rare gem of a place. I would guess that some people reading this right now have never been to the Club and are doing a bit of investigating; they may be a bit shy to try out this experience. That is totally reasonable. If that's you: all I can say is, there are many wonderful, friendly, and sociable people here - it can just be a hit-or-miss situation until you find them. But they are there. 4. The overall "vibe" was back from our first visit. It felt much more joyful and relaxed in general, mostly due to the more laid-back patrons who weren't so stand-offish as the overwhelming amount of cliquey folks we encountered the second time. That, and the improved music situation made it feel more welcoming and livelier. 5. We finally felt comfortable enough to join in the fun; something we were hesitant to do the first 2 times. And we definitely enjoyed ourselves! The prompt, stealthy, attentive, professional bedside service (turning, cleaning, etc) the employees conduct made the experience feel super comfortable and intuitive. In summation: we will be back. When? Dunno. But we will definitely be back. Suffice to say, it was absolutely worth giving Club Privata another go. Be safe! Have fun! And please, talk to others you don't already know. Just relax and enjoy getting to know other human beings. You just may meet a new friend or two! Not everyone's trying to get in your pants... only those you 100% choose to. Woot! Be You! Explore your desires! Thanks, Club Privata, for restoring our faith in your venue! read more

First, let me state that the club was clean, staff seemed attentive, drinks were reasonable ($6 beers) but I did not try food. As a semi-decent looking single guy in his early 50s (6' 170, clean shaven, well-dressed and most of my hair) I was severely disappointed in the amount of play a single guy can get. I went on a newbie Thursday night so the cover while high ($50) wasn't ridiculous ($100). There were mayb 40-50 attendees. 1/2 were couples and the rest were mostly height/weight proportional single men and a few overweight females. While not a surprise to single men that use dating apps, the ability to get any type of "play" is difficult. While a weekend might produce more experimental females, I think the old adage that "Women have all the power in the sex game" is absolute truth in this venue. In short, a single guy will get more stimulation from lap dance than the cost and time of this club. Doubtful I'll return unless they offer a no-cover night! read more

Love this establishment Made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in the door Zero judgement, friendly staff read more

What's going on Privata? Are you having money troubles? This is my first time back in years and things have definitely changed. I was really disappointed last night. 1) No buffet. And the options on the individual purchase menu were uninteresting. 2) They no longer hire a DJ. The DJ booth sits empty. You're only open 3 nights a week and you can't afford to hire a DJ? Everyone I spoke to was complaining about the music. The transitions sucked, and it was "early 2000's rap." I wanted to hear dance music. Where's the Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and Pink? 3) No Porn! The tv on the 2nd floor was off. The tv in the couples lounge was off. There used to be a tv above the entrance. It's gone. The place no longer feels like a sex club. It's like they're a night club trying to hide the fact that there are bedrooms in the back. I really don't understand why they stopped showing porn. 4) No sex swing. One of the bedrooms used to have a sex swing in it and it's gone. There is just a bed in there now. All night I was wishing I was at Velvet Rope. They have a better food menu, better music, a bigger dance floor, a sex swing, hot tubs, porn screens, and just more to do. Fix these issues and I'll be back. read more

It is NOT upscale and it's reached the point that it's no longer safe. First, they do NOT enforce their dress code. On non-theme nights, we've seen everything from flip-flops to flannel shirts to t-shirts and jeans. Seriously, zero dress code enforcement. Zero. We wholeheartedly agree with the reviews here and on R_ddit, FL, SDC, and Kasidie; it's apparent that the owners are doing a cash grab and have chosen Quantity over Quality. Our last visit, likely to be our very last ever, left us feeling unsafe, too. Two things happened, and together they caused us to leave early and decide not to return until there are either new owners or some sort of public acknowledgment of changes to come. First, they say that they limit to 10 men, this is not true. We are not against single men, but when there are so many that it becomes like a dive bar, to the point that they hound you non-stop, that's too much. If the Mr. dares leaves the Mrs for a second, like to grab drinks or go to the restroom, expect the flock to her while she waits. The men that night, while not breaking any rules, were too aggressive and there were simply too many of them to not feel harassed. Even as we moved from one floor to the next, they followed us and as soon as we stopped walking, there was another one interrupting us. One right after the other. It was worse than a dive bar. This is the owner's fault; by them not adhering to their stated limit of 10, the owners created a harassing and hostile environment. The second issue was there were two men walking around the club with duffle bags and seeming to point them at the crowd. When staff was notified, the men were only asked to put the bags away. Why did staff not insist on inspecting the bags? From what we and others saw, it looked like they had cameras in them by the way that they were pointing them around. Absolutely zero accountability. This isn't the first time we've seen this either. We've seen fanny packs being worn by men and women (again, non-theme nights) and they were not only allowed through door check with these on, they were allowed to wear these throughout the night. The owners, Holly and Charles have been present during all of these nights, too. In reading other reviews, where you can see who the posters are, it is evident that Privata has a group of regulars who are fine with the status quo. They will, for whatever reasons are their own, defend Privata. However, move away from these present day regulars and you will be hard pressed to find a couple out there that will say that it's (1) upscale or (2) that they felt safe there. If they do, question the validity of their existence or look to see if they are the types who would consider Taco Bell fancy... If you do go, go during Halloween, NYE, or their anniversary party as those appear to be the only nights of the year that they care about dress code, single men, and safety. read more

Went on newbie night with my wife, spent the extra money to get a private section with bottle service and we were looking good and feeling good. Unfortunately, even for "newbie" night, it seemed like everybody already knew each other and quickly became super clique. We put out all the right vibes and never had ANYBODY try to play, talk to us, invite us for anything, etc. Also, it seemed like most people were just sitting around or standing around beds trying to catch a look at someone actually playing! Finally, we just decided to jump in, and started to play in the orgy room. Two or three couples/groups were watching us, enjoying the show, but STILL nobody else wanted to play! Definitely seems like the kind of place where you need to be meeting some people that you already know if you want to play. Definitely needs some glory holes too, and maybe fewer totally private rooms...we can have sex in private at home without making the two hour drive and paying for a hotel room for the night! read more

For anyone that's never been to Club Privata. You definitely need to go. It's an amazing high-end nightclub with a strict dress code, great drinks, amazing service, and awesome vibe. We always meet new friends when we go, never a letdown. If you've been here and didn't meet anyone!! You had to have hid in the corner or the bathroom. This place is full of super friendly people, staff and attendees. If we could rate this place higher than 5 star!!! We would all day long. You won't find a better nightclub in the PNW to meet people and have an amazing night. Our last VIP bottle service was June 14th with one vip area and June 15 with both vip areas. I recruited 16 people from the club to join our party of 12. What an amazing night!!! We definitely look forward to more amazing times at the club. read more

First time there recently with my fiancé, and we weren't sure what to expect. They were so friendly and welcoming and so were the other members we talked to in passing. The atmosphere was like a decent nightclub but without being too overcrowded. We fully intend to make it a more regular outing. Glow party was fun. read more

Had an overall great experience at a Newbie Night. Staff were very kind and answered all of my questions. The entire club was very clean and made me feel safe. I met a few regulars, and they were kind and answered questions - expressed their interest but weren't pushy when I said no. I ended up meeting a couple and going into a room with them. I had let the husband know I would only be playing with his wife and didn't want to be touched by him at all. He touched me on several occasions anyway, and I had to push him off. It was their first time too, so if you meet people, I'd suggest being insanely adamant about your limits. I know "serious" isn't sexy, but it is important in these types of settings. But will definitely come back! I had so much fun and loved getting to meet the adventurous people I met. read more

Amazing place!!! Great staff, clean, safe and lots of fun!!! My wife and I had an amazing times!

Our first visit to Privata was an outstanding experience. Super clean and fun adult environment. The owners, Charles and Holly, have hired an absolutely stellar Staff. Would like to give a shout out to Jordi, Savannah, Jerome, Chantel and Arianna who went above and beyond to provide good service and help us out. Made us feel right at home. read more

Every establishment (bar, restaurant, flower shop, grocery store, etc) in Portland has good music. Sexy music. Thoughtful, smart music. Every establishment but this place. 50 cent? Really? Is 50 cent sexy? We've tried this place several times now and each time it's the same really horrible music. Like the DJ was a DJ at a Vegas strip club like 20 years ago and he/they/whoever it is coming up with this still thinks that 20 year old Vegas strip club music is hot. I think if the club wasn't otherwise so magic the music wouldn't be so troubling...I wouldn't even take the trouble to write this review, just wouldn't return. This is a plea to management PLEASE HIRE BETTER DJ's. Like, people from Portland who can come up with a playlist that Portland people can have sex to. Because...well...your establishment is in Portland in 2024, not Las Vegas 2000. read more

Safe, secure, frisky and fun! Consent is sexy at this Club. The CP dance floor feels free and safe. With a clean environment, it has friendly and attentive staff members, delicious eats, with great ambience and a sultry vibe. wow, do they know how to have blow out parties for holidays! Such a blast. A unique one of a kind experience for your bucket list in the rose city. Making a visit to the club for an event is well worth it. read more

I had a great first time experience this past Saturday. I work with about 8 straight women, we paid $10 a piece. If you don't sign the waiver before you get there you'll have to do it outside in the pouring rain. Once you're in there it's pretty spacious. There is actually a table with the buffet as you see in the pictures. At midnight they switch over to a breakfast buffet which is definitely what you need after a night of drinking...it was delicious! The drinks were strong and not overpriced. everyone was hell a cool and friendly and open in more ways than one The owner is actually a Jamaican guy, really nice! he had a lot of black employees working the floor and they kept saying how nice it was to see women of color in the building! there was definitely someone everywhere to make sure everyone was safe and to ensure people did not have their phone out, even the bearded dude who gave us the tour was hella friendly. this place is definitely a no judgment zone..do not go unless you intend to have fun or watch without judgment or joining! Update-price was $30 single woman last Saturday and when you come with a guest the get $5-10 off their tixs read more

Fun place I watch a few couples fuck then joined another. I had a great time think it's better to go with someone but I went alone and got to play read more

Cute club, friendly people, could be really great, but oh my god the music is so bad. Hip Hop from the early 2000's wasn't hot in the early 2000's and it's not hot now either. like, music that is top 40 irritating and too old to still be around, but still too new to be ironic and cool. how can anyone get it on to this? oh wait...I don't think anyone does...not much actual action happening which I understand. the awful awful music is BLARING. it's so sad...could be a really great place. read more

Everything.. Although very expensive considering you can have just as much fun having a party that wouldn't cost nearly as much as it does at the club. Ya know door fees membership fees food drinks .. I'll go to The Sanctuary in downtown Portland and it costs almost nothing compared to Privata and we always always have so much more fun at the Sanctuary ... Don't waste your time at Club Privata go to the sanctuary or have your own swingers party! read more

Food was lukewarm the staff nice and the vibe all night was kinda OK. The rules of the place weren't really going over with anybody. And I had to move myself couple times because people were taking pictures. read more

They didn't let me in because I wasn't with someone else? Maybe because of the way I was dressed? I asked if I could buy a drink and the staff in the front said to go across the street instead. Never heard of a "friendly" bar refuse service to someone who wanted a damn drink and to check out the place read more

Visited regularly over the summer, so fun staff is great, i'm definitely going to return

Classiest club of its kind you'll find here in Portland. Some nights are great others aren't, but that's less to do with the club and more to do with the crowd. I don't recommend coming on Thursdays, it's absolutely empty. Came here with my partner yesterday and the AC wasn't on... in 100 degree weather. So you guessed it, we left within 10 minutes of arriving. Disappointed; totally disrespectful of the owners to charge $100 for an empty club and not blast the AC. Won't be coming back in the Summer. read more

Good times both times we've been. Drinks are great, staff is professional, and the three floors and multiple playrooms give all of the awesome options. read more

This place is amazing! Normally I'm pretty shy but really horny, so I decided to go and thank you God! Met the most amazing people and so many people complimented me on my cock! I didn't think it was that great but now I know it's "beautiful!" Love the sex and will be there on a weekly basis now! Hallelujah! read more

My friend and I got there a bit late and most people mingled upstairs. This was my first visit to an establishment such as this as well as my friends, she was so nervous she wasn't sure how to be. I have to say it's an extremely relaxed environment so don't be in your head about it, everyone is friendly and welcoming and ALL about Consent! It's obviously a lot about enjoying yourself and being free without feeling judged or forced to be or do anything you aren't comfortable with. Enjoy your 'first visit' drink on the club and pop a free mint from one of the many dishes around the place. Free non-alcoholic drinks for DD or non drinking people. Plenty of water stations to stay hydrated and clean linens as well as non latex condoms. Places to clean up all the way (showers) and wipes available. Absolutely loved my experience and I will be back. So glad my friend had a great time too (from out of town). Gotta compliment on the long island, absolutely superb tasting. Adios MF hit the spot too. Live out your fantasies and have a great time, bring some open minded friends, but enjoy whatever you decide when you visit, cus you only get one life to do it! read more

New to Privata, stranded at the club without wallet or phone, it was close to closing and I was facing a long walk alone in the dark and rain. Instead of a stand-offish, elitist attitude, the staff was very kind and sympathetic. The club owners especially went out of their way to ensure my safety and that I got to my destination okay. I have never EVER seen the owner of a club step in to such a degree, and take care of a patron with so much patience, and concern for their well being. I love this club! Not just for the amazing and fun atmosphere, or the yummy food and drinks, but because they really go above and beyond for their customers! Thank you Club Privata! -- Angela R., Salem, OR read more

Went to the club last night (4/9/2021) for our first night out post lockdown.  Had an absolutely amazing time.  The staff was great, music was perfect, bartenders were beyond amazing and the food was OMG!  Thank you for being a part of our first date night in a year.  Perfect sexy vibe in a sex positive atmosphere... We will be back! read more

I went to Sesso few times before it closed its doors - wasn't into the life style as much, but enjoyed the clean and chill atmosphere. Also have given privacy as there's no affordable "love hotel" like Japan. Now I'm done with college and have some spare time, and single, figured I'll give this place a revisit. What stands out about Privata is it's classy atmosphere, but able to remain laid back and inviting. Staff is very friendly and engaging, which as a new comer I appreciate. Meals are part of reason I come visit - I enjoyed plantain with bacon today. Chicken was tender and salad was freshly made. Delish! The age is varied, though I'd say 30-40's are most common. Mostly white couples, and few minorities. Seems more does private activity and voyeurism over exhibition and kink. Though there is different themed night, so it could change clientele. For the most part couples are confident and courteous, single guys.... well, they do pay most to get in, and desperate to get hitched. They do take no for NO and ask before touch, most of the time. I just haven't come across a guy who catches my fancy yet. Overall convenient location. But it's a late starter and don't pick up till 11:30 pm. And for someone like me who takes public transportation to downtown as I don't like leaving my vehicle there at night or fight for parking. So that's disappointing for those who don't wanna stay till closing. It's safer than going to regular clubs for me, and I'm able to chat and mingle carefree for most part. Hoping to meet more engaging and charismatic people in the life style, so I can expand my experiences too. Also wanna learn how to pole dance - quite an exercise! read more

Relaxed and fun times. Women feel safe and gives me reason to not worry or have to be bodyguard

I loved the entertainment part of it. It was my first time but am definitely going back soon

Absolutely not. The parties that come here are older. They charge over 80 dollars with a price list that's too confusing and far fetched that money could be better off dining at a fancy restaurant. A gigantic NO read more

We enjoyed the club environment on our first visit a few years ago and are coming back for a birthday celebration in the VIP room! Great staff, respectful patrons, body positive vibe & good times. I'd love to know more about what we can & can't bring into our suite besides the no outside alcohol & smoke/vape policy. read more

My girlfriend and I went there for the New Year's Eve party. I have to say that I am very impressed with what they've done with the place in the after math of Club Sesso. There's more room on the dance floor, more lockers to store your valuables, they added a bar on the second floor,......It was SO much better than Sesso. The people?? Wow. There were SO many beautiful, sexy women there. Honestly, I was shocked. The ONLY negative comment we have is about the music. It started off well enough, but then seemed to switch to this...aerobic like, techo....huh? It would be great if they stuck to top 100 music of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s more. Other than that, the club is great. Oh, I guess there's just one more thing. It would be nice if they had themes catering to certain age groups. Something for people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s/50s. We're in our 40s and we have a difficult time relating to people in their 20s. Plus, they tend to look at us strangely since we are probably close to their parent's age. Of course sex with a woman in her 20s isn't something I'd say no to...:)...., but other than that, there's no other connection I can have with them. read more

Went with my girl (she's a lot younger.) Both of us had the greatest time and can't wait to return. No creeps, just pleasant adults of all ages doing adult stuff. Food was good and drinks were great. This is a clean establishment that delivers what it promises, a safe environment to enjoy whatever fun you're into without fear. The third floor is the place to be after 11:30 pm with couples and groups getting off in every room. I would add more mirrors, but I'm a voyeur and like to see myself playing. My girl was nervous at first, but got right in the swing of things (three times.) Something for everyone. And we'll worth the price. read more

I echo Doug's sentiment about the reviewer who stayed for only 20 minutes and left. If that reviewer had stayed a little longer, they would've seen a variety of ages at the club. One of the reasons we stopped going to the club when it was Sesso is we felt the crowd wasn't very diverse. Who pays all that money to stay somewhere for only 20 minutes??? Even if you hate the crowd, I would've at least stayed long enough to eat the food so it's not a complete waste of money. We definitely love the new setup of the club as there is a lot more room to socialize on the first floor. We also love that you can reserve the VIP room if you want to have a dedicated room that night to play. I do wish the VIP room was a little bigger, that is my only complaint. The crowd seems to be way more diverse than it was at Sesso, which makes us love the new place even more. Hard to put our finger on it, but it just seems like a sexier crowd than before. We took a girlfriend with us when we visited and she loved it too! We can't wait to go back. read more
