What People Are Saying About Scandals Restaurant

In Short – Long a comfortable neighborhood gay bar, this gathering moved up the street and was renovated into a scene-y hotspot. Located near ground zero for gay culture in Portland--this bar still serves up great people watching and a stylish vibe for the diverse mix of people that frequents it--everyone from leather daddies to office workers. Part of the bar is reserved for pool, darts and lottery games.

Poker machines and keno if you can get waited on.
by Upullit
Rude nasty bartender won't even notice you if you are not on his " to do in the toilet" list. I won't go back again even though I work really close. I warn everyone new to Portland about this bar. I would not even give it one star if I had the choice. I am glad Portland has many more choices for gay people. I did send an email about a month ago before I wrote this review. Ofcourse I got no response from them.
- Pros: Pool, lottery, keno
- Cons: Bad bartender(s)

Good drinks
by Dartthrower101
These days that I have been going here, its either busy, or not, really just depends. The bartenders for the most part are just there to serve there favorite people, the waiters are very nice and friendly. There seems to be a mix of young to older guys there, so you should be able to find someone to chat with if you go there alone for a drink. Me being a smoker, I will be sad when we all have to go outside just because these bars could put better ventalation in the building so we all can enjoy a good time.
- Pros: Smoke bar, good music, pool

Cold Coffee From A Warm Staff
by parkerveruski
I have visited four times since it's opening. Each time I find it to be filled beyond capacity not with patrons but with SMOKE. The staff is friendly, the music is nice and the decor fairly modern with exposed brick wall, raised flooring on both sides of the bar and creative coloring, I would have to say that the idea was to allow gay men to meet, chat and relax. That being said, the music is too loud to talk over without shouting. The coffee is almost always cold or luke warm, the drinks could be a bit lower in price and the restrooms being open for 'viewing' by anyone pissing is tasteless and insulting in my opinion. Make those changes and you have a good quality local gay-hot-spot.
- Pros: Warm decor, friendly staff, good music/DJ
- Cons: Cold coffee, open bathroom stalls, smoke filled until 2009.
