I Love this bar...

by GetALifePDX

I love this bar. I always have a great time and the staff from the door, coat check, bartenders and bar helpers all have wonderful attitudes and are fun to be around. I read some of these reviews below and have to wonder what is wrong with these people. I think they are probably loosers in the community and it shows. CC's has some of the best priced drinks in town. They have a drink special it seems like every night I've ever been there. I know that they haven't charged a cover in 08. Not once have I ever looked up to see dirty movies (I've only been going for the last 2 years). The DJ's have always played good music and take my requests when I have one (can't say that for the other bars). Last but not least I love going to a bar that has the age group young pretty boys to old men and everything in between to me that gives me every option you fool...

• Pros: Fun bartenders, pretty staff, best lighting, dance floor, rainbow room is cool
• Cons: Hard pressed to find one...

GO SOME PLACE ELSE...

by PORTLANDJOHN

YOU WOULD DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING THERE. STARTING WITH THE DOOR MAN TO THE BARTENDERS. VERY VERY DUDE. IF THEY DONT LIKE YOU, YOU WILL RECEIVE SHI_TY DRINKS OVER PRICE DRINKS TO NOT BEING WAITED ON.. EVERYTHING THAT THE OTHERS HAVE WROTE ABOUT CC'S IS VERY TRUE.. THERE ARE MANY MORE OTHER CLUBS TO GO TO TO HAVE FUNN.

• Pros: TWO THUMBS DOWN

Listen To Your Customers And You Will Always Be A Success Story.

I have been a valued patron at CC Slaughters since it's days on Stark Street when it had a pink door with a round hole for a window. It had an upstairs, wonderful crowd, dance floor and areas to sit, dine and chat. In the mid-90's, Slaughter's featured an all you can eat breakfast buffet for $2.99. It was amazing and so filling. Gay guys and the girls who love them would pile into the bar, eat until you pop and meet new people who sat at your table. People left other bars early to get to CC's for seating. It was the most popular single item that drew crowds Friday and Saturday and now...it's gone. So is the fun, the crowds, the money they made and left behind is bitter-sweet memories. John Jr. and John Senior (founders) knew how to add flare while helping customers feel welcome.

Then, CC's moved to a new home. For nearly 10 years, I visited every Saturday only missing a few. I danced with friends, met new people and had too much fun. Once the new owners began making changes, it changed the friendliness we had all known, cover prices at the door made us feel unwelcome, not cared about. Suddenly we paid for enjoyments we'd received FREE prior. It snubbed us regulars. A bad business choice. The music of DJ Frankie J no longer played, several DJ's came and went. All that remained is long, boring dance tracks and tired Madonna songs. The dining area was remodeled several times and removed was it's dimly lighted charms. In the end the place simply needs to return to a relaxed, non-noisy, brightly lighted dance area. Turn the music down a bit to talk. Your drink prices need to be lowered a dollar or so and how about a special or two Friday and Saturdays? Show us we mean something to you. Be thankful we're at CC's we can go anywhere. Money and decorations are wonderful but treat ME (your customer) right by listening to what we have to say. There are no long lines to enter the club today but there always were from 1999 and beyond. Lose the rated X vids too. It's cheap

• Pros: Good sound system, nice lighting, ample seating
• Cons: Too dark , music too loud too often, can't talk without shouting, annoying rated X vids, smokey till 2009
