Will never go back. After paying $20 a piece to get in, I ordered 1 drink and a shot and was interrogated about how much I had already had to drink. After explaining that this was my 1st drink of the night, I was granted permission to have an alcoholic beverage in a bar. Thank you for your generosity! We then proceeded to mingle a bit and made our way to the 2nd bar near the dance floor. Apparently the pansy behind the bar was overwhelmed with his job that he was being paid to be there for because as we were waiting for a drink, I was laughing at my friend who was standing beside me and mildly hit my hand on the bar because I was laughing hysterically. The fragile bartender took it as a sign of aggression or something even though I wasnt even looking at him and said he wouldnt serve us. He let me know that we were also being kicked out as well lol. I explained over and over what happened but it didnt matter. He got his overly sensitive feelings hurt and had us escorted out. We had time to go to 1 bar when we arrived downtown and got harassed and kicked out. AFTER paying a Las Vegas priced cover charge. I will make sure that everyone I know never spends a penny at this overrated joke of an establishment.

It would be a shame for me to not write a quick note about how much fun CC Slaughters is. Two summers ago, my girlfriends and I were here every Wednesday night for their 5 for $5 drink bracelet special. You can only imagine how much fun we had. I will admit, you do get treated a bit differently as a girl, weve had our share of watered down drinks, but hey, we still have a blast every single time. They play some absolutely amazing music (and girl anthems) every night of the week. Its pretty sweet that they have the place split up pretty nicely. Three full bars in different areas of the club, a big dance-floor and mini balcony area, a lounge corner, and the Rainbow Room, which is through a couple doors and on the other corner. Perfect if you want to grab a table and chill for a bit. CCs definitely has it all, and Ill always be sure to stop by with my friends when were in the area.

Trendy LGBTQ+ club with a wide variety of dancers, bartenders, and patrons. Good drinks, okay price. The dancers rotated pretty regularly and the show was fun. Lots of patrons dancing. Friendly environment. The bartender doesnt make drinks for people if theyre not at the bar, which is great for preventing someone from screwing with your screwdriver! Clever trick to keep people safe. The announcer was a drag queen with the sexiest high heels I saw all night! Downside is that there arent toilets in the restroom designsted for "men and women who like to stand". So if your gender identified with that bathroom, and you *needed* to sit, you had to use the other restroom. Not a huge deal, just a point of confusion. Otherwise great place!

Had the worst experience here last night. I came here 2 weeks ago and got in using the same I.D. (Valid Permit) the same lady with the beanie that let me in the last time with no problem because I was with WHITE friends refused to let me in this time around. I made my friend (Caucasian with the same kind of identification I had) go and try to get in and they let him in in 3 seconds. I cant believe this. I like going to gay clubs because I feel safe and never feel discriminated against, but this time i definitely did. I guess they dont want young Latin men that spend a lot of money to be there. Went to a different bar told them about the situation and they laughed and gave me a free drink and then i spent about 150 on drinks after that.

My friends and I are visiting from Wisconsin, and we tried to go to this bar with two valid state-issued IDs and a valid US passport. We were turned away because they "were uncomfortable with our IDs." They stated that they didnt seem to be made of the right material. I reiterate, these were valid IDs. We asked to speak to the manager that instructed the bouncer to turn us away, and were told he was too busy to deal with us. Further, theyre a host bar for an international event, so they should have been prepared to identify valid identification from the states participating in the event which they sponsored. Severely disappointed in this bar and the way they handled this situation.

Seemed like a fun bar, has a nice dance floor and lounge area. I am giving it 1 star because the bar tender, intentionally or unintentionally, tried to steal my debit card. I asked to cash out and he proceeded to tell me he didnt have my card, and that I had opened a tab at the other bar. I knew I hadnt, so after 5 minutes of me telling him he had my card, he eventually said "let me check something", went to the register 5 feet to his side, picked up my card and said "oh here it is". Bullsh*t if you ask me, and I had only had 2 beers. Needless to say I dont trust the bartenders, and wont be coming back.

I would give this bar zero stars if I could. First of all a bouncer came up to me and told me I could not have anything else to drink after one beer. I asked why and he said that he was just following the bartenders orders. I seriously did not understand, he probably mistook me for someone else, still I did not deserve to be treated like a criminal. I called the business to get a hold of the manager and of course they were not available. I love portland but this place treated me horribly. I know I wont be spending money here again.

Three stars for this gay bar that doesnt have a dance floor. They instead have a "dance floor" which is just a continuation of the bathroom if you ask me without any tables. Its a sorry state. The lines at the bar always take five minutes too long and the floor is sticky. If this place was in a bigger "better" gay city Im not sure itd still be around. I also think one side (The Rainbow Room) is too bright while the other side is too dark. Great place to dance when youre already drunk at 1am.

Thurs-Sat: If youre in the mood to dance the night away in gay friendly atmosphere, look no further! CCs is always a fun, affordable night w/ $0 cover and many drink specials to help the wealth impaired like myself! These drinks are always strong! The dance floor can get a bit crowded, but dont be a drag, be a queen and stake your claim on that floor with your moves like jagger! For PDX newcomers, this is a great place to meet/make new friends.

$1 drinks on Wednesdays until 10, I could probably start and end with that. Its a great place to go dance, they have fun silly pop music and its an exciting environment. Not for the faint of heart, the bartenders and patrons alike are often underdressed and looking fabulous, albeit cold. There are two sides to the place, the club side and the more casual lounge side, makes for a good break from dancing to have a seat on the comfy couches.
