Acropolis Steakhouse

Traveled the world with the military, been to strip clubs all over. This is not my first time going and I know how one needs to act and behave. However, seems the staff here doesn’t.

I’ve been coming to Acropolis for years but last night might have been my last visit. Took my fiancé and two of our friends there (who have never been) and wanted to have a great time enjoying food and drinks.

The waitress immediately got irritated because we ordered our drinks at the bar and not through her. Once our food did arrive though it seemed like maybe things were back on track.

A dancer we were hoping to see showed up and so we all went to the stage to enjoy the show…maybe 3 feet away from our seat. Well the waitress decided it was time to take away our food that we were still eating (one plate had maybe about a quarter of it left and one was over half full of food still)

Once we arrived back to our spots I asked here what happened to our food and she retorted that she thought we had left. I told her that wasn’t possible considering I saw her see us at the stage. She then mustered up all the rage of a child who had been caught in a lie and snapped “you only had crumbs left what’s the matter?!”. Told her we obviously weren’t finished with our meal and she then said “I’ll get the manager if you want” and I happily accepted.

Manager apparently equated to bouncer and I had security come up to me. I explained the situation and he agreed that the waitress was handling this incorrectly.

She smugly came back and thinking she had accomplished something and I told her I wanted a manager. As her face briefly dropped in a moment of failure she told me the bartender was the manager. Perfect. Went to speak to the bartender and once I finally made it up to her she came up with the same childish behavior and started accusing me of being aggressive. Told her no, the waitress doesn’t want to own up to her mistake and is being abrasive and the bartender walked away without letting me say anything else.

I closed out my tab and and then she demanded a tip. I told her no and she started to argue about wanting a tip.

While this is going on my fiancé and friends had been sitting at the table we had been at all night and noticed something moving around their feet. Lo and behold there was a mouse just running around inside the club.

We made our departure from the club and I checked with security again and found out the bartender wasn’t a manager either. The waitress had lied to me twice with such brazen dismissal of the respect to the customers. I’ll be advising my other local groups of the experience and advising them that acropolis might be on the decent if this is how they are choosing to staff and operate

Known this place for a while for its entertainment and food. Went on a week day and the place was relatively quiet. The food is very reasonably price but the house special steak is always badly cooked. The men's bathroom needs urgent repairs!

My friend told me we were going to go eat at a steakhouse so he was not lying. But upon entering the building, I quickly realized this is not a regular steakhouse haha. That being said, the food here was pretty damn good. I had the steak bites and my buddy had the ribeye and we were both pretty happy with what we ordered. It did take a bit long to come out though, I don't know if they have only one cook in the back or something but it felt like we waited an eternity. I get it though, there were other people in there who also ordered food and we all know how long it takes to cook steak. I would definitely come back though just to try some of the other stuff on the menu. I get the feeling it is probably all really good.

Dancers are not making the best decisions if they are trying to make money. I found their general approach counterintuitive.

I love this place. I popped in for a casual Sunday afternoon lunch / lap dance and enjoyed the food, the company, the conversation, and the music thoroughly. The Acropolis is such a unique and beautiful place and they hire the most wonderful people.

Acropolis is there when you need them. After a bender week of partying from Sunday to Sunday, I did not feel like cooking and wanted a greasy burger (or gyro in my case), this place hits the spot. Decent size, cooked well, but fries are additional

I ubered here so stoked to experience THE Acropolis, and your hours are wrong on Google. Yall owe me a dance for this wasted money on uber ride 😭😭😭 (still five stars because I’m an empath)

The food was good but charging $5 cover on a Sunday when there is only 1 other person there is ridiculous. The food was definitely good and entertainers were 2. The service took forever and was long drawn out I was tipping 2 bucks a song but was scolded by the bartender for not tipping. I don't think I ll be coming back. There are so many other clubs where this is not a problem.

The Acropolis is regarded as one of the 7 wonders of the world, which is correct. This place rules.

It's been years since i've been there because we left oregon I wish they would bottle their dipping sauce for their steak Bites and sale it I used to would get and pay for an extra cup of it. Because it's so good. Just an idea cause then I'll have my son. Pick me up some and mail it to me. Or I'll buy a bunch when I come up to visit next time to Oregon.

With the closure of Riverside Corral back in June 2023, Acropolis became the only strip club and the Sellwood area. So naturally, I sought them out as a new Riverside.

I first visited back in October 2024, on a Sunday before going to the haunted house attraction at Oaks park. The $5 admission was a good deal, and I had no problem making myself at home and watching a chick with snake tattoos perform. Plus, the bartender was attentive with my soda water needs.

I went back a couple more times that following november. During my second visit, I ordered the chicken steak. It came with two pieces of Texas toast, some large cut french fries, and a roll. The food was surprisingly tasty, though I was put off by how the roll was slightly burned.

During my third visit, I bought a one song lap dance from Ricki, who was a sweetheart.

My most recent visit was back in February for Valentine's Day weekend. There was a different bartender, Michelle, who was tending to the bar. She was friendly and helpful, and made me feel at home. It was during this visit that I ordered the turkey club sandwich, which I found to be much better than the chicken steak.

I noticed that dancers will sometimes perform to considerably long songs, which compels me to tip them more than the usual club rate. Not only that, but I've noticed, at least during my fourth visit, that dancers perform to a mix of '70s,'80s, and/or '90s songs. That is a prominent plus in my book.

I am confident that Acropolis is like a new Riverside Corral for me. My only complaint was the restroom. During all my visits, it was a disaster zone and needed some major renovation. Or at the very least, some major cleaning plus repairing the broken urinal. Hence the four-star rating instead of five.

Whenever I go to Sellwood, I will have two attractions in mind: Oaks Park and Acropolis.
