Portland's first topless bar. The place where Courtney
Love once graced the stage. As every write-up about the joint will
remind you, Mary's is part of the city's history. But history isn't the
only reason to visit this grungy dive. In fact, it isn't even a
particularly good one. Mary's offers something you don't find in many
strip joints: It's a laid-back place to have a beer. (Perhaps a pint of
Mary's Topless Blonde from Cascade Brewing.) The dancers pick a wide
range of songs from the antique-looking jukebox onstage. The all-female
serving staff weaves around the tightly packed tables and chairs. The
crowd typically includes more women than your average titty bar. No,
there isn't a pool table—this is still a strip club, mind you—but the
vibe is more Magic Garden than Spyce. With the former's recent closing,
the westside has never needed Mary's more.
Happy hour: You ain't happy enough?
Entertainment: You ain't entertained?
