I almost feel embarrassed by my previous review after receiving a very thoughtful response from the owner. It was obvious in his response that he was genuinely bothered by the fact that we had less than a good time. He even offered to meet with us to better understand what went wrong so he could address it. We left after our last visit feeling like they didn't appreciate our business, clearly we were wrong. Other than the problem we had with our food order we have really enjoyed

FIRST TIME EVER COMING TO THIS PLACE AND I WAS PAINFULLY BIT BY A DANCER. I talked to management to get the woman reprimanded for what happened and the management avoided my calls, and were VERY RUDE!!! DO NOT GO HERE! Follow the URL to see a photo: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg…

Casa Diablo is a little too raunchy for my taste, but I do like the vegan menu and I'm always down to check out a new strip club...which led me into Black Cauldron. Surprisingly loved the theme of this strip club and really got a kick out of the actual cauldron in the middle of the dance floor, but the place was so dark and it seemed almost unfinished. There were at least a dozen heat lamps set up around the floor and the place was almost vacant. We ordered the burgers and tacos (pretty yum) and watched strippers fight, more than they danced. It was mostly an awkward experience, but I was glad, if anything, to check out the witchy theme of this place and say that I had been.

Stopped by Sat March 14, 2015 and immediately greeted by a cranky female bartender who's first words were "I need to see your ID" and I thought - What no "Welcome to the Black Cauldron, what can I get for you?". Nope, and it all went down hill from there. One other customer at the bar and - well me. Bar service was slow. WHY? Guess she can not handle TWO people. Dancers were fun and I spent too much money and realize I won't come back since the bartender continued being a really sour person. Good luck but I think they are all but out of business.

The stage has lots of seating but the place was pretty empty on a Saturday night after 11pm. There were more people sitting at the bar in the other room. The dancers were pretty boring to watch minus two girls who did some pole tricks. Maybe it was an off night at the club but the highlight of my visit was eating their vegan noodles!

cooler fixed and beers are cold now. Had some surprisingly delicious nachos and staff was great as usual. DJ played a variety of music for everyone. Still I like the concept of this place and layout. Worth checking out

Topless bartender is a must for any strip club in my opinion. But that's just me. They have some very sexy women here putting on a good show. Most dancers here will be up close and personal. Lap dances are expensive though (even though you can touch ass and titties) but sitting at the stage will almost be as good. Well drinks are $4, and $2 for refills. Beers start at $4 as well. In the evening you pay a$2 cover, but you'll receive a raffle ticket to win a free lap dance with any girl you want. The decor is very interesting, I like it when they pay attention to the interior. The rest rooms are very clean and nice. All with all, I enjoy this club.

I have ran clubs and strip clubs before so trust me when I say to skip this place. It looks the an old amusement part haunted house (and not a good one). The girls are nothing special, but for $2 they climb all over you at the stage, oh and the shag carpeted center stage (eeh, can you say yeast infection) the bathrooms are "moist" and smell funny. I suppose it's ok if you want to stay close to home and enjoy high priced drinks, but I wouldn't travel far to go here.

So we thought we would have a good option of a place to go nearer where we stay when in PDX but no. You walk in and everyone sits in a circle facing the two stages in the middle with a fur/carpeted round surface between (is that thing sanitary?!). Then there's a bouncer that stands at a podium on the other side of this stage. Talk about awkward. It's completely uncomfortable and after about 10 minutes we decide to ditch our cover and head to the more friendly Club 205. We really like Casa, but this is no Casa.

Mediocre at best, hostesses with marginal communication, dance skills. tasteless outfits

I walked in and was greeted by a very nice bouncer. Showed my ID, and paid the $2 cover charge to a woman behind a glass window like at the bank. She then pulled up her shirt and slapped her breasts against the glass. Wow. We entered the bar and ordered a Corona and a soda water. $6 for the beer was pretty steep for 160th and Stark, but $4 for plain soda water was outrageous. Wow. Then we went into the showroom with the dancers. Toxic green lighting surrounds the ceiling from backlit plexiglass, with a weird carpet covered cupcake in the middle of 2 stages in the center of the room. Not sure what the shag carpet thing is for. Weird churchy seating borders the room. I will not be going back.

This is Johnny Diablo's second club, the first being Casa Diablo - after visiting Casa last summer I had to stop by Black Cauldron when in town. Needless to say Tuesday night isn't the hottest night but its still better than Saturday in Seattle (seriously, no booze!). Great selection of girls, fun environment, and they still work hard for those twos. Black Cauldron's space is a huge improvement on Casa - much better bar, I like the lower dance floor, and finally a decent bathroom. I have no idea if the Saturday night show is quite as wild, but still is still a great place to hang out, grab a drink, and maybe a nibble.

This was the worst mistake I've ever made at a strip club. Not knowing what this place was going to be like I went in expecting not to pay too much for a private dance. $40 was extremely expensive for three minutes of a dance. Will never be back again.

Went here to celebrate one of my buddy's birthdays and had an amazing experience. Johnny and the staff are super friendly and the girls are all great. Definitely recommend coming out here. The only issue I had was drink service was a little slow. Seems the bartender on one side is making all the drink orders from the tables and the other is taking the orders at the bar but this wasn't apparent. Still had an amazing time here though. Keep it up Johnny

Went in for the first time on their 1st anniversary, the night before Halloween. Best time I've had at a strip club, despite having to leave less than halfway through their topless sock-em bobbers/twister/pugil stick/spelling bee tournament. Special props to Melody, a wonderful and beautiful dancer who took some time to chat with me about A Song of Ice and Fire, and Gurren Lagann.

Eww. Much rather go a block up to the cab instead... charged $16 for a double vodka and soda.. wtf? Girls weren't that wonderful either. Can't believe this place isv owned by the same person as casa diablo, it's so terrible!
