Lucky Devil Lounge

When the COVID-19 pandemic forced restaurants and clubs across Portland and the world to close, Lucky Devil Lounge moved their strip club outside. “Food to go-go,” the owner dubbed the viral pivot. Customers were drawn to the early-pandemic spectacle from across Northwest, lining up around the block for the chance to drive through a tent surrounded by four masked pole-dancers, with tip buckets and prize toilet paper rolls, while their food was prepared.
