What People Are Saying About The Silverado Bar

In Short – Located in the center of Portland's gay bar scene, this spot welcomes everyone from businessmen and college students to drag queens and leather enthusiasts sipping on domestic and microbrews, martinis and specialty cocktails--as long as they're over 21. Young, fit dancers shake everything they've got as entertainment, while happening club-goers take to the mini dance floor and groove to techno, house and '80s beats spun by a DJ.

Great strip club, but need better security!
by Jay1212
The new downtown location is a great place to party and see
hot male strippers. But it draws in some rougher types.
They need professional security instead of the former go-go
boy who wanders the floor.
Good crowds on weekends, with a good beer bash late
Sunday afternoons. Upstairs balcony, outdoor patio
and quieter pool room give you some options to move
around. Enjoy!
- Pros: Stylish, large club
- Cons: Security, parking

Typical gay bar with good stippers
by computerweasel
Great strippers. Lots of eye candy. It's definately the "meat market" of the Portland Gay Bars. 3 bars, an outer area for smoking, a cat walk, strippers, pool, video poker and some grease food.
Not in a good location, despite the move to a new building. Brings in a lot of the transients off the street and sub-standard clientele.
Good place for flirting and dropping singles in strippers thongs though!
- Pros: Great Macho Nachos!!! Average drinks, atmosphere with eye candy strippers and a great place to flirt
- Cons: NO DANCE FLOOR, Sub-standard clients, a little trashy

Fun club, some rude, burned out staff
by Magician07
The new club downtown is great! Large stage with video screens, and plenty of room
to move around to a balcony, back patio, and quieter pool room and lounge. Much better
floorplan. However, they kept the same staff, many who have " cold " personalities. The
African American " floor manager " pushes customers around, throws attitude and jumps
onstage to mess up the shows. The doorman seems more like a jail warden, no warm
welcome here. Even if you've been coming here for years, many staff will look right thru
you, like they don't know you. Some have burned out, and they need to refresh the staff.
They have brought in new dancers which is great, but still need to replace a few of
the same, tired dancers. Great crowd on weekends, probably your best bet, if you are
from out of town. Maybe some creative events during the week, like stand up comics
would bring in a weekday crowd. Limited parking, you may just want to pay in the lot
nearby.
