Sundays are great

aloyalheart

Like most any place you go, it is what you make it. I have a great time at Silerado, I can always run into some one I know. The bartenders make killer drinks and the dancers are fun to watch. Yes, they do have str8 strippper along with the gay fem boys, it is a good mix of male bodies, naked...I enjoy going on Sundays, no cover, drafts are a dollar and wells are two buck, the guys state dancing at five and go until midnight. It is standing room only by seven.

Silverado is a must

EddieDFW

After reading the reviews on here I was a little leery about going to Silverado's. But I went and loved it. Yes, there were females there, and they weren't obnoxious like some of the reviewers mentioned. More importantly, the dancers were incredible. There were two of the hottest men I've ever seen on stage dancing with their dicks hanging out. These aren't twinks, though there were several dancers that were. But man, I was pleasantly surprised. There was a $4 cover charge and my drinks were $6.50 each (vodka & tonic). I went alone and still had a great experience.

One of my favorite bars anywhere in the world

RuffHund

To be fair, I love Portland, anyway. It is, as a friend described it, an "odd" city. Case-in-point--the Silverado. Located right across the street from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and next door to straight strip club, Portland is the best case of live-and-let-live anywhere in the U.S. High-class meets artsy meets sleazy... and everyone gets along. The Silverado is the epitome of that mix. One of the few strip clubs in the States where guys can go fully naked (they don't do it all the time), the dancers manage to still make it work when wearing underwear or whatever. If you want it to be sleazy, there are guys there for that, if you want to just have a drink, the Silverado does that great, too. Normally, I'm not a fan of females at gay strip clubs, but here, it's just part of the amazing mix that is Portland. No boundaries in this city... everyone just does their thing and mixes at will. Show up at the Silverado however you are... you'll fit in and find a good crowd any time. Nothing high-class here... just a good bar that happens to have some of the best, most approachable strippers I've seen anywhere.

Like no place else.

Thad4Phila

I really don't like strip clubs much. But I must say that, even for me, Silverado is tolerable. The boys do show everything sometimes...there's no cover, and drinks are reasonal\bly priced and well served.

I Love Portland & the Silverado!

A friend of mine from Boise, Idaho met me at the Silverado while I was in the city of Roses. We had a great time! The people were so nice and hip!

HORRIBLE COMMENT 1abraxas

Kabbalah1976

HI, I just wanted to defend Portland, OR and how SIlverado is not a straight Cesspool! The cool thing about Portland is that straight people don't label themselves and we all get along! Our mayor is Gay and if you want fake Gay acceptance please stay in the city you came from 1abraxas! Thx! LoveUGodBless, T and J KABBALAH MATTHEWSHEPARD MADONNALICIOUS

Straight cesspool

1abraxas

A bunch of overly perfumed straight girls dragging their in the closet boyfriends to stare at what are the WORST, ugliest strippers I've ever seen. Self loathing gay people (par the course for Portland) and terrible food. Portland is by no means a gay destination, and this is just one more example of why it never will be.

Naked Boys Doing Naked Boy Things

Joshua.Rumley2011

The idea of watching scantily clad guys shake their jiggly bits sounds like a great way to spend an evening but I found myself bored with the whole equation of Silverado. The bar isnt anything special to look at; the high ceilings are nice and help make the room feel a lot larger then it actually is but their really isnt a lot of space to lounge and relax. Standing room only from what I could tell. The main focus of the bar is the stage where the boys dance and shake their goods for the audience. There are a couple stages from the main stage where other dancers are stationed. If what youre looking for in an evening is half naked/sometimes naked boys shaking their goods then youll have a great time. I would much rather be at a nightclub with a dance floor with go go boys; its not a night out unless Im dancing.

Don't waste your time

njtrek930

BORING! Too many chicks, and no dick to be seen here. Boys are somewhat cute, but if you're expecting nude dancers, you won't see them here.

Too light up not sexy enough. Good bartenders. Could be much more for the only gay strip club in town.

Soon to be str8 stripper

ProfessionalSpy

I have been gone there for year (last year). I have been enjoyed it very much (very popular gay strippers) until this year (soon to be nightmare stripper). I finally went there since for like 6 months and being shocked based I seen in there. ALL strippers are str8 which they used have balance gay and str8 strippers. But not anymore, TOO MANY str8 women that made out with str8 men... I was like what the heck they doing in there. Plus bartender are too ugly to look at... I don't understand how they hired those people. We left in 30 minutes and might wont go there again for years unless they change. It already became "str8 stripper bar"

Wasnt for us

slimrfun

We watched 3 husky men and one cutie do there stuff on the stage for about 40min. Mix crowd of some horny women, older guys and drunk younger just standing around the stage watching. Boring! This place will never be a dance club given the condition of the floor.

thanks guys!

This was my first visit to a male gogo bar. The boys were hot, and very friendly. The people were all friendly, made me feel at home, except we don't have anything like this in North Dakota.I really enjoyed myself.

Bounced Back

victorportland

I've been going to the Silverado for quite a long time. And this new location is even better! It's always busy any night I've gone in. There is always cute new staff, and a couple long time Hotties. Dancers are great, music is up-to-date and loud. I would like a glass for my cocktail, but other than that Silverado is an excellent place.

This is a tweaked out mess

dataport

Marginally attractive dancers. Only about half were really hot. Straight women kill the sexual energy.

Good combination strip-club / neighborhood bar

RichardsLifeCali

I recently traveled to Portland for a week, and ended up visiting all the gay venues in town. Silverado was busy every night of the week. There was a mix of guys - younger, older, and the kitchen served a decent menu - the nachos were huge... The only club with more people would perhaps be C.C. Slaughters, which is Portland’s dance club complex. At Silverado’s there are strippers about every night and they actually go totally nude, which surprised me since they don’t do that even in L.A. I was texting status reports to my friends back home: “… 2 cut, 1 uncut. How big? Well, it’s flopping around right now, but probably a 9”. They seemed to have nearly the same strippers each night, though. After a week I recognized familiar… um… “faces” onstage. There’s a lounge on the other side of the club – quieter, pool table, but large bar area. So unless you want to dance, Silverado’s is the place to go to be with the biggest crowd.

It is what it is...

Gr8Karma

A place to be if you are already drunk, otherwise you might think its slightly sleazy. That being said, it is what it is! Good drinks with adult entertainment of the full frontal kind. Mixed quality of "entertainers" from muscle heads to drugged out old queens! Not the type of place to start your night out but the type of place to end up if you are looking for something to gawk at....

Not impressed.

AtlLooker

I was told THIS was the bar to go to when visiting PDX. Well, not very entertaining. The strip bar is separated from the casual bar. Strippers for the most part were nice looking but nothing I had not seen before. We were the during a pretty warm period and the stripper side of the bar was unbearably hot and stagnant. Other side of bar was a bit friendlier but was pretty empty and this was a Friday night. Maybe just bad timing for me.

THE PLACE TO BE IN PORTLAND

meyoui69

If you want peace and quite this not the place but Friendly hot gays and not so hot also is the name sake. Hottest bartenders in North West. Friendly people with a big city feel. If you looking this is the place. If you brought your own be careful some one might take them away. This is not a neighborhood watering hole. But the place to find the hole.

Fun spot!

crombiejustin

I was recently in Portland for work -- this was the gay highlight of my trip. Smokin' hot bartenders who pour some of the best cocktails to be had. Strippers were incredible and no attitude from the patrons.

What a dump!

Ken

The bottom of the cesspool of gay life in Portland. Tweakers and drunk trannies galore. Steer clear.
