Great for Bachelorette Parties!

by jster82

I made reservations for Darcelle's for my sister's bachelorette party and I am sure glad I did! Such a fun show and so entertaining. Very much worth the money and a fantastic place to go to for parties and a girls night out. The servers were excellent, very attentive to our drink orders. I will definitely come here again!

• Pros: Awesome performers, excellent service, entertaining show!
• Cons: Parking

Funnest time in a long time

by auntdeb56

My neices and I spent the weekend of the 7th of Feb. right downtown in the pretty city of Portland. One neice lives there and one flew in from Virginia. Having heard about Darcelle's for several years I have always wanted to see the show. What a great time we had!!!! After walking most of the day, my back was killing me. When Darcelle came out to take pictures with everybody, I was sitting on a windowledge to ease the pain. When she found out about this, she took me inside and put me and my group right in the front row at the end of the runway!! What a lovely thing for her to do. Thank you so much Darcelle.The girls were just amazing. Extremely beautiful and classy and funny too. They really made everybody feel right at home and made sure everybody had fun.The strippers weren't bad either. At one point, I looked at my neices and they fighting over the last dollar bill!!One thing I learned was not to touch the girls! I simply lost my head and smacked Darcelle on his bare butt (we were that close!) and immediately got told that was not acceptable. Sorry Darcelle. Please forgive me.

I highly recommend this experience and when I get enough ones saved up, I will get my girls together and we will be back!!

Thank you Darcelle & Co.!

Bigger Lashes Mean Bigger Laughter

by parkerveruski

Quite simply said, Darcelle's is a Portland landmark. Without a doubt Darcelle XV and Roxie and the talents of their staff, it couldn't be done. I have seen Broadway shows, Las Vegas impersonator shows and hung out with drag queens, impersonators and so on and no where else will you find such wonderful dresses, makeup, hair and music.

I took my family there (who are straight) several times and they did not feel comfortable at first because they did not know what to expect. After the show starts, they relaxed, enjoyed the fun and have been twice a year since 1996. The jokes are campy, naughty and filled with a bit of crude humor and wording. I like that. Dinner is good before the show, seating can be tight if you get there late and when you let your hair down, they let theirs down too. Darcelle seemed like a nice person on stage and off and get the keepsake photo, you start to collect them year after year. The only thing I have to say is they need a better Web site.

• Pros: Good sound system, nice lighting, wonderful and creative shows, good food, nice staff
• Cons: Seating is a bit tight, expensive drinks, waiting in line a bit long in the out doors but worth it
