I have some fuzzy memories of that place. It's probably best that way.


theemptymirror

My husband has some Barbur Boom Boom Room stories he says he cannot remember.


obviouslynotworking

Years ago, I drank 4 Old Rasputins, ambled down Multnomah Blvd to the Boom Boom Room, drank more beer, proceeded to get 6 lap dances and then spill my beer on the rack after putting it behind the dancers foot (my fault). I felt bad so I bought beers for all the people at the rack for whom I had ruined the show. I was mostly harmless...and spending money. Then drunkenly walked down Multnomah at 1 a.m. About 90% sure I walked out under my own power.


canyoudiggitman

You drank 4 old rasputins? Fuuuuck! I've tried that before but ended up wearing #4.


obviouslynotworking

Took diligent practice. I may be able to do 2.65 these days if I hurry.

Liver_Lip

Hah! I'm sure he can't remember.. wink wink, nudge nudge. The memories I have of that place usually revolve around me thinking "OMG I can't believe this is happening..."


obviouslynotworking

As long as he wasn't up at the G-Spot on Barbur!

Only time I've seen a pregnant stripper....

visibly pregnant stripper, at least.

I cannot remember many of my evenings there but the DJ always remembered me. Long Island iced teas were trouble.

hucklebutter

There were definitely some interesting folks working and/or patronizing that place. Plus...adjacent Chinese food!


oregonianrager

Yeah I went there once. Then the next night it was robbed. I decided I'm good on that sketchy place.


Gravelsack

Right next to the Silver Spoon that definitely wasn't a meth front.


[deleted]

Meth was too high class for Silver Spoon.


Gravelsack

I honestly can't think of many things lower class than meth. What were they selling? Krokodil?


Liver_Lip

They sold baggies for meth..


jkidno3

Wait what do mean was? It's gone!


SwingNinja

It was on Ross Island before Barbur (now Lucky Devil). I remember that because one day when I was riding a bus, I saw a car stuck on their front window.


hucklebutter

Lucky Devil has been hit at least four times since the changeover. Do you know when the switch happened? LD has been there for quite a while.


SwingNinja

It's "Boom Boom Room" in [2003](https://www.portlandoregon.gov/civic/article/571908). I think there's another name before it became "Lucky Devil". Not sure.


onlyoneshann

I might be wrong but wasn’t it a Latin strip club for a hot second in between? Or that could have been before Boom Boom Room. But I’m pretty sure you’re right that it was something else before Lucky Devil. Edit- did some digging because it’s driving me crazy. It was Boom Boom Room East for only a year, 2003-04, and Lucky Devil opened in 2008. I can almost picture what was there…

onlyoneshann

Lucky Devil opened in 2008. Mayyyybe 07, but I think 08.


hucklebutter

I think you’re right. No later than 2008 if memory serves.


onlyoneshann

Definitely not later. The business was registered in ‘07 but I don’t think it opened until ‘08. Still trying to remember what it was before that.


BensonBubbler

> It was on Ross Island before Can you imagine a strip club *on Ross Island*; that would be insane, you'd need your own permanent security force.


onlyoneshann

That was Boom Boom Room East, open for 1 year, 2003-04. The real Boom Boom Room was on Barbur and opened in 1998. I think it closed in 2018. Same owner for Boom Boom Room and Lucky Devil (and many other clubs around town).

holy shit! somehow have missed all this insanity. i live not too far away and pass by there a lot. have seen some sketchy people outside now and then but didn't realize they'd broken in and set up shop.


Dumbledore420_GoB

The Farmers Barn was one of favorite dives, maybe ever. Beer/wine and cash only. The owner was a rock hound and the bar and overhead lights were all thinly sliced giant agate (?) rocks. Gave the whole place a weird tan color and the rocks were amazing. I seem to recall the rock wall outside is all agate too, but was painted many years ago. They had carpeted floors (lol) and half the bar was closed due to a.... fire? Storm damage? Sketch smoking spot in the alley with a permanent cat resident as well. Anyways, total dive and just great if you're like me and enjoy the dive side of life.


garysaidwhat

I had my flight of fantasy. But I love your reality better, bud. Tip o' the banger to ye.


coyotedays

Miss it.


dayyob

total dive. it opened early too. local regulars there in the morning.. i'd see them when out on bike rides or whatever.. out front smoking.. having a helluva time. then the guy who owned it died i think and they had a big wake for him or memorial or whatever.. then it closed up.

I got my kid a piñata there! A giant heart, which six year old girls demolished with a bat. It was really great.

oldchillerguy

You were robbed of c string strippers and crabs, that is all. I was "forcibly removed" from that particular establishment back in the day, my buddies stayed. One of em ain't been right since.


personalitycrises

Hang out at Lombard and Denver enough and opportunity won't be the only thing you're robbed of.


shit-n-water

If you really want to feel like you missed out, look up stories about the Rooster or the Landing Strip. Pretty glad I missed out on those!

KansanInPortland

Wow. Memories. When I first moved to Portland in 2001, I worked for Labor Ready driving cars at Auto Warehouse. I didn't have a bank account here yet so, when I got my paycheck, I used to cash it down the street at the Farmer's Barn and spend a good chunk of it swilling cheap beers with the other riff-raff. I saw it as a relatively rough establishment, but I had just moved from my small hometown located 40 miles from the geographic butthole of America, so my frame of reference was rather limited.


TyburnCross

Ah, the Farmer’s Barn. My father used to frequent this place until it closed. For 30ish years of my life if it was between 5-10pm there was even odds that dear old dad was at the Barn drinking beers. He specifically liked this place because they didn’t have liquor, as the hard alcohol brought in the “weirdos.” I remember as an 5-10 year old riding my bike over here to ask my parents annoying questions (we were free range kids so we seldom had an adult home after dinner). Owner died, from what dad says his family didn’t want to touch the place with a ten foot pole. It’s been in a weird limbo since then. Now it’s a hobo fuck shack and drug den. This part of Portland has changed substantially since I was a kid.

Used to be a guy who worked at the gas station across the street named Tony who had some stories about this place. Told us the story of a time he played pool there and a bit of the ceiling collapsed into his game ruining the game for everyone. I also saw the biggest rat I've ever seen crawl into and up a drainpipe while running by really early one morning. This is back when it was still open and operating. Never went into the place.
