Good time

Was visiting Portland and stopped in, was very busy (Saturday) around midnight, lots of hot dancers and attractive crowd as well . Strong drinks for around $6.00

Sundays are great

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

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

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.

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.
