Absolutely don't know why this place has such low ratings!! Came here on a Saturday night with my fiancé and stayed for almost 4 hours. Saturday is couples night so we both got in for $10. The club is impressive. The music was good. The girls were attractive and there were a variety. There was always at least 2 girls dancing at once. Sometimes as many as 5 at once. The only thing I can really complain about is the drinks. I drank 2 martinis and I'm pretty sure there was close to zero alcohol in them. Other complaint is that you have to buy a $5 wristband to go in the dance room -_- and then the dance is $25. Pretty excessive. Whyyyyy do I need a paper wristband to be able to pay for a dance. read more

Do not get a dance with Dianna/divina she will rip you off!!! I got a dance with her didn't even get half a song before she up and walked away! The club was supposed to comp me but decided not to!! read more

Came here a few weeks ago with a couple of friends because none of us have been to a club like this and wanted to have the experience! We had a great time, the staff made us feel really safe and welcome even when some of the patrons were bothering us. I didn't get the name of the bouncer who helped us on our way out of the club but one of the girls at the desk was really nice when we came in and she checked on us a couple times throughout the night, I think her name was Cassidy or Chastity. read more

Great staff, service, management and always a fun time! The dancers carry natural beauty! Toni R.

Husband & I went for a spicy date. Husband hadn't been to a strip club in decades & I had never been. We went on a Tuesday evening at about 630 pm. Cover charge was $8. There were only about 10 other patrons there & 5-6 dancers . We were told it gets busier as the night goes on & that the number of dancers increases significantly. We were greeted by Scott, the manager. He gave us a full tour explained procedures, prices & answered all my questions. I was SO happy with that as I had many questions! One of the dancers, Tasmania, came & talked with us for a few minutes before going on stage- she was very nice & gorgeous - just not my type- haha! My husband wanted me to have a lap dance & wanted me to select the dancer ( such a hot idea! )The dancer I selected was Renee- petite, sexy, fun & flirty! We purchased a 3 lap dance for $100 package. I requested one dance for me/one dance for my husband. Renee sat us across the aisle from each other, so we could each watch the other partners lap dance. Renee provided each of us a very sexy lap dance, then we "tag teamed" husband for a few seconds before running out of time. The club itself seems very clean, well maintained, upscale. There are ladies in all shapes, sizes, colors & styles. Management seems very respectful toward them- even assisting each one down from the stage at the end of their set. I would HIGHLY recommend this club. Would highly recommend Renee to any couples looking for an edgy night out. read more

Rick's Cabaret is a great place to relax, have good drinks and enjoy great entertainment. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. It is a comfortable and well maintained space that makes for an excellent experience. I always enjoy stopping in after a particularly tough day of work to unwind and treat myself. JS read more

Went a couple of weeks ago with my boyfriend. The cover was $20 per person (they need to update the website because it clearly says Saturday is couple night 2x1 thats why we went there) went to bar and they wouldn't sell us alcohol because it was going to be 1am in like 20 mins (that was a shocker considering we're not from here lol we didn't know about that rule) we just got a water bottle that was $6.00 and enjoyed the night. The girls that night were really pretty, cant complain about that. The bathrooms are a CHAOS they're unisex and everyone is inside at the same time, as a female I felt extremely uncomfortable being alone inside with like 6 dudes cat calling me. Definitely use the buddy system if u need to use the restroom. Fyi if u need to withdraw cash from their ATM theres a fee + you the minimum is $50 read more

I came to Rick's Cabaret for the first time and I was welcomed by Rome with a beautiful smile. She was my cocktail server for the night! Absolutely amazing!! The girls were beautiful and genuine! I can't wait to come back!! I absolutely would recommend asking for Rome as your server and Emily as your GO-TO dancer for the night whooo ‍ Management is great! Also can't forget about Missy! She's always a blast! LETS GOOO!!!!!! read more

I visited Rick's last night for my Birthday! It was THE best experience I had in a a long while.The Staff was extremely professional and created a fun and memorable birthday experience for me..the lady performers were top notch, very entertaining and beautiful, the DJ was awsome as well, It's a definate recomend from me to someone else looking for this kind of entertainment..signed Aaron read more

Ok, first time here and this place surprised me! Girls were a little aggressive when I first got there, I was the only guy there on an early Friday afternoon. What surprised me was the quality of the Dancers, very much above average, many being drop dead gorgeous. Topless only but still a very good time! read more

This place it great. Missy the Bartender is top notch! The inclusive nature makes for good variety among the staff. 10/10 will be back.

For purely investigative purposes, I reluctantly went undercover as a desperate thirty-something on a rainy Friday night. Using the arbitrary alias "Dan MgLaughlin," my goal was to see if PT's was still the trashy fun I remember from my early 20's, or something else entirely. First, the cover charge is $10 for both men and women, which is a fantastic method to avoid having any girls enter the club. The main room is generic. Dark with various lighting effects, a primary and satellite stage, an oversized (and completely unnecessary) VIP area, a long bar and a second room for private dances. In an act of greed rivaling only the Thompson's Point parking situation, there's an additional $5 fee just to enter the back room for private dances. While dances at every strip club on earth top out at $20, naturally at PT's they are $25. Considering it was completely dead on a Friday night, maybe it's time to re-evaluate the business model? Angel was a very kind, petite brunette, working several nights a week to support herself through medical school. Coincidentally, April also recently joined the club to help pay her med school loans. Evidently, PT's supports more doctors than Sallie Mae. Drinks are New York prices, you'll consistently be harassed by girls you'd rather not talk to, and the clientele often resembles an expelled frat. I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't frequent PT's; I just don't know your intentions. The odds are far better of getting lucky from scratch tickets. And you won't have to explain those awkward $2 bills. read more

I come from the older Days..."Mark's Place" when his standards were much much higher. He would do introductions of the ladies who were dressed to the hiltz! Im not trying to be insulting but there are "Ladies" dancing who do not belong on Stage....It has changed ownership a few times ...Each time I got to know the owners...until now...It's a real culture shock from what it use to be. Drinks are way over priced, and the Lap Dances need some "Structure Changes" The Ladies tend to hustle drinks a little too much...and When the day comes I have to wear a wrist band....because this labels you a target for the ladies ...they dont like asking constantly...25.00...plus the 5.00 is way too much....Sorry but this is just my opinion which seems to be...many agree... read more

went to RICK'S. on a whim. while the manager was very nice. and he was nice enough to say it was last call, it was loud, so maybe I didn't hear him correctly, but was not aware that we only had 15 minutes to finish the drinks that we bought at 1:55 AM. so when I went to the bar, she said it was last call so get all the drinks that you can, so I assume that was last for drinks, but didn't know that I had to finish those drinks within 15 minutes. bartender did not let me know that I had 15 minutes to finish and let me get three beers and two mixed drinks. I got distracted and forgot my card at the bar.. my friend ended up grabbing it from them. when we left, I noticed that a $85 charge was made to my card. now, I know that those drinks couldn't have added up to that so they took it upon themselves to give themselves tip on top could've not been more than a $50 drink order. I'm going back today and I will ask them why I was charged so much. I will give them a better review if they make this up and charge me the correct price for the drinks and allow me to decide to tip and cover the cover charge tonight but to charge that much not being completely upfront about the fact that I had a very little time to consume the drinks and decide to tip them selves what had to be around 20 dollars, giving themselves a 40% tip I'm pretty disappointed in the fact that they took advantage of that. I just gave them my card and charge whatever they felt like. I will give them an amazing review if they let me in and no charge as I was charged $20 at the door. also I made eye contact with a girl that I would've paid for a lap and she walked right by me and pretend I wasnt there. apparently because I had given my money to my friend to hold on to, she just assumed that I wouldn't have the money to pay for one. All in all not a great experience. I will say that they did find my friends wallet that she left in the place. That's why I'm not leaving it one star. read more

The place is very good and really the girl of attention at the entrance NIKKI she is really great and makes the atmosphere quite pleasant from the entrance! read more

Missy is the best bartender in the northeast, HANDS DOWN. I only come to this club for her bartending.

Great staff, security was amazing, bartenders were lovely, great place. Stop by, nick at the front door was great, definitely will be back for another weekend. read more

Had a really nice time up here and the club is actually not that bad for it to be in Maine, the dances are very pricey but if you got money to spend you really should not have a problem with spending especially if you enjoy the dancers company, I forgot the name of the First Lady that I got a dance from but the other dancer was Tinker she was definitely good at the dances in VIP and I really enjoyed her time. read more

I have been coming here since it was PT's. Great place Girls are all gorgeous and very easy to talk to, they want to know you and have a good time with you. They have 50-120 girls a day which is great, Missy the Bartender is awesome. Tasia and Devon are really nice too. read more

Wish I could put a zero. Went on 9/9 at about 5-5:30. This is happy hour according to the sign, I should have been charged $3 for a well rum and coke because it was happy hour, I immediately checked my bank account and saw the charge for $12.19 for the $3 rum and coke. Completely turned me off from the place, please be honest. I hate not being able to trust people, I will spread the word about this place, at least get those with integrity to boycott. read more

The only club of it's kind in Portland, and it's a fun one. Visited during daytime and it had a nice vibe.

The manager suck!!! No hospitality at all!!! A girl stole 200 bucks out my pocket!!! The music is old and not up to date!!! Three girls working on a Friday night read more

The only good thing about this place is the dancers, they're amazing, it's too bad that management doesn't do anything to support them. The Rick's buyout was a horrible idea, all the prices have gone up and they now charge an extra 33% fee if you pay with a credit card for a champagne room. What's that 33% for, especially if it doesn't exist when you pay with cash? Are the managers just pocketing it on top of the gratuity that management pushes you to give them(and why am I paying management gratuity to begin with)? read more

Been three nights in a row, first night I shelled a decent amount and then waited for a particular chick to eventually get done the two different stage dances, took a while to get it (whatever). Learned not to wait on the Second night put out more money and talked to security who agreed to help me get a dance, sadly only got 2 dances in before they kick me out, on the third night I showed up about 2 hours before they closed with a even bigger stack of 20s and for whatever reason couldn't get a dance... while there is MANY dancers standing or sitting around. I decided to take my money and leave. $10-20 cover charge, throwing some Bill's and it's a struggle to get a service they're supposed to. Taking my money else where, you decide for yourself but I personally don't like being disregarded when I am paying for a service at premier price. Maybe someday I'll give it another shot. read more

Went out with some of my friends and the Dj was amazing his name was Steven! We will be back. He mixes good, and is good at entertaining! Couldn't stop dancing!!! read more

Hottest women in Portland and their happy hour specials (4pm-6pm) are on point. Ladies night every Thursday night hosted by Hot104.7's DJ HaylStorm Couples night every Saturday. Old Port closing but it's only 1am? You're already lit, party doesn't stop go to PT's to see some ass and tits. I always leave a happier person than when I went in. From the front desk, to the bar and everywhere in between I always feel welcomed. All of the staff and girls are super friendly and experienced. I always love going to PT's. read more

Going downhill and fast!!!! I used to come in twice a week now I've just stopped coming in for the most part. The prices on everything are much higher! 40 dollars a dance, 10 bucks for a beer, and "credit card sur charges" half of the best dancers aren't even there anymore and the new ones that are don't even talk to you and when they do, I quickly realize I would have been better off at home listening to my wife nagging on me. All my favorite dancers have moved on to greener pastures seeming to be doing way better without all this CORPERATE GREED! read more

Screw safari for ruining the review I had already written but, thank you to every bouncer, all the dancers, and missy (the one person I remember) the bartender for making my experience the best night I have had in a long time. thank you all! Every one of them deserve a raise, and if your looking for a great time in Maine, come here! Saturday May 7th the night in question. give every singe god dam person who worked that night a fucking raise! read more

I heard they were trying to recreate Portland Whoregon in Maine... It is full nude, and they let you get away with touching in the Lapdances... But it's pricey, they do their best to get you to tip $2 bills! And girls with $500 and up for VIP treatment. Not for a cheap ass like me! :-P read more

I myself have been there many times, but it was all before COVID-19 and I thought it was a little pricey,but if you do have a few bucks to spend then go, it's not really that bad, you can't go there exspecting to get lucky but if you do then good for you!! I liked the place. read more

I went in during an afternoon. 3 girls working. 1 I didn't care for, who was the only one who came to my table. I tipped the other 2 on the stage twice (more than a dollar folks if that is what you are thinking), and they never came to my table to even say thanks. They sat with Club Regulars I am guessing, would go up on stage for their songs, then come down off the stage and return to the same regulars. So if you are able to became a regular, it may be ok. If you are traveling like me, then not so great. Only one in Portland though. I think however there are better in other places less than an hour away. A waste of 2 hours of my time. read more

Me and my friend came from Rhode Island and we're staying in North Conway for a snowmobiling trip and decided to go out one night. We drove and hour and fifteen minutes to get to this strip club. We were shot down at the door because my friend had a paper ID because his was getting renewed. He is 23 and I'm 22, both IDs from RI and we even showed them credit cards to prove it and we still got denied. An Hour and Fifteen minutes to come spend money with legal identification and nothing. This place smelt bad just by walking in the front door, the security was rude the manager or owner who ever it was that we talked to had absolutely no respect and all the girls seemed dull. I don't recommend this place and we didn't even get to go in. Don't waste your time. Dirty place, dirty girls, and smelly seats........that was just in the lobby. read more

My experience at PTs showcase left me unimpressed. I was having a fine time enjoying the dance show when one of the dancers approached me and asked me if I wanted to go one-on-one read more

I'm not in Portland, Oregon anymore...that much I can discern just by going to Portland, Maine's only (seriously?!?) strip club. For want of better birthday activities I paid a visit to PT's for my birthday in late April. Admission is $8, but they were nice enough to let a birthday boy get in for free. (Not a single strip club I went to in Oregon had an admission fee, sigh). That reason alone grants it a second star. I didn't know what to expect afterwards, but I figured that a strip club must be more than a topless bar (I was wrong - sometimes I forget how prudish and puritanical New England still is). I wasn't exactly expecting it to be like in the real Portland (i.e. the one in Oregon) where many a stripper will discuss queer and third (or is it now fourth?)-wave feminist theory as she sticks her goodies in your face for four minutes, but I guess I was kinda hoping that if I'm going to pay $25 for a lap dance, I should at least get my money's worth. After two (ridiculously overpriced) drinks, I quit while ahead and left unsated. Will not be back. read more

Well the club was very cool, drinks were normal for a strip club. The girls were a lot of fun, the are not hounding you to give you dances. Some of them come and chat just to hang out not to get money from you. Bartender was great! Massage girl was the best! read more

They lie to you. They'll tell you one price and time, then ultimately will double that number and cut the time in half.

I was there with a few friends we had been sitting there for 2 hours with our masks off because two of us us drinks and one did not.. after mangers coming up and speaking with all of us asking if we wanted drinks including the girl who wasn't drinking.. some dude who was not a bouncer or manger comes up and starts yelling at this girl... she couldn't her him because the music was sooo loud, she thought he was making a joke about not drinking, so when she laughed he kicked her out and threatened to call the cops on her for not wearing a mask!! But she didn't hear him, and if she could hear she gladly would have put it back on! So after she was kicked out the manger said she would let her back in, but the bouncer at the door lied and said she gave him a hard time, when all she did was ask why she was kicked out. Once she found out she said okay and walked to her car!! But was not allowed back in because she "gave the bouncer a hard time" I am so unimpressed with how this whole situation turned out, it could have been handle much better!! read more

Had the pleasure of having a dancer fart in front of four of us (2 girls, 2guys) while she was on stage and we were sitting next to it. The smell matched her face, and the rest of the girls there. Next dancer was begging for money like a child, was angry we weren't tipping like we had been but we were still recovering from having fecal dust shoved down our throats. That next dancer said to "get the fuck away from my stage" and threw a towel at us. If you have ever been to a strip club before you will be disappointed at best. If its your first and one of the girl craps her panties like what happened to us then you will probably never go back to one. read more
