about

Sanctuary is a 3,000 square foot LGBTQ+ event space on the second floor of a building in Portland's Pearl District, above Cultura. In its own words it "provides a gathering space for a large and diverse sex-positive community", welcoming "LGBTQ+, poly, swing, kink, POC, all gender identities and relationship configurations".

The space runs from a foyer with a staircase and lift to a main room, a dance floor built by two local contractors out of parts from other clubs, and the pink door the club uses as its own landmark — "behind the pink door… another world".

It works as a calendar of dated nights rather than a club with fixed opening hours, with recent listings running from a Sapphic Sunday and a karaoke night to explicitly kink and orgy events.

Consent is the house rule and the club is blunt about it: its FAQ states that attendees "must understand consent, respect, and be able to interact in the real world", and that anyone unwilling to read the posted rules is unlikely to be a fit.

★☆☆☆☆ (1 out of 5) My experience at Century Club was extremely disappointing. I showed up excited for a night out wearing a mermaid outfit that I’d put a lot of time and effort into, but I was turned away at the door. What made the experience especially upsetting was the interaction with the woman at the entrance. I left feeling like she had something against me personally. Whether that was actually the case or not, that’s how the interaction made me feel. Instead of being treated with courtesy or respect, I felt judged and unwelcome. I understand that businesses can have dress codes or admission policies, but the way I was treated left me embarrassed and discouraged. It completely ruined what was supposed to be a fun evening. Based on my experience, I won’t be returning, and I can’t recommend this place to others.

If it had food I'm sure it would be amazing but I've always been hungry for a different type of Taco because I mean ... y'know 😉 . . . and the staff, as well as the guests, really make an effort to facilitate an enjoyable experience. Edit: They have a Vegan Menu which I will have to try next time I'm there, because If they are even half as dedicated to their food service as they are their drinks and hospitality, I am more than certain it's great.

I went to Sanctuary for the very first time this weekend for The Missing Kink event. Worst cherry popping ever. I want a do over. We were a group of 5 non binary trans people that came to the club together. We were excited to kick off our Pride month with some sexy fun. I don't know why the staff even admitted us, it was so crowded we got yelled at to move 3 times within 10 minutes of being there. There was no couch seating or play areas left, and everywhere we tried to stand together was "in the way". Pricing was not equal and the door staff seemed distracted. For the cover, some of us were charged $0, some of us were charged $10, and some $20, even though we all arrived together. The dress code was "Dress To Impress" but a lot of people were admitted in jeans and a T-shirt which added to the crowding problem. Some other friends we met up with there came at around 9:00 and it was already overcrowded. By the time we arrived, all the cubbies were also full. It feels like Sanctuary values making capital over making community, which is disappointing considering its brand as an inclusive and welcoming space. I would rather have been turned away than spent $10 to be crowded in for 20 minutes then having to leave because there was nowhere comfortable to be.

My first visit on a FemDom night, and I had a blast!!! The performances were incredible, everyone was amazingly friendly, and even though I am much older than most of the other patrons, I never once felt out of place. Looking forward to my next night out at The Sanctuary. #pdxsanctuary @pdxsanctuary #buzzybooth

I just want to say how safe I feel here. Last night the DJ was amazing and the screwdrivers were strong. Everyone was cool. As a chick, I am more on edge about pushy dudes at dance clubs. Sanctuary feels like a really safe place to explore. Not one negative experience. Thank you.
