Raise a Toast to Bartenders With Tequila Cocktails at These Portland Bars | Eater

"Cocktails usually aren’t the biggest draw at Stag PDX, an Old Town bar that features strippers, drag brunch, and other events geared towards the LGBTQ+ community. While those all add to the raucous atmosphere, there is a full bar for patrons seeking out something to sip on. The Stag Margarita doesn’t deviate from a traditional rendition with orange liqueur, simple syrup, and fresh-squeezed lime, which can be mixed with Teremana. It just proves that sometimes it’s best to not mess with a classic." - Vox Creative

Went to the Royal Drag Brunch for bachelorette party and WOW we were all very surprised. The food was outstanding which we didn't fully expect from a buffet at club (honey chicken, mac, sausage, brisket, waffles, eggs, FRESH fruit, etc!). The drag dancers were incredibly entertaining and fun. SO much crowd interaction. The show was several hours and we really felt like we got our moneys worth with the mimosa as well. Would absolutely recommend!!

I went here for a bachelorette party. The staff were welcoming. VIP table and drinks were reasonably priced. Dancers were hot, talented, and friendly. Our group had such a fun night here and I would definitely go back and recommend it to friends! You guys know how to party! 🎉

How to conduct yourself at Drag Brunch: 1. Be happy to be there. 2. Enjoy the brunch (great cooking, could use more seasoning in the sausage gravy, but also I have a spicy palette). 3. Bring $$$ to tip the drag dancers, exchange cash for $1 bills at the bar if you need to. This is drag performance etiquette. 4. Drag is bawdy. Get in the spirit. This is drag perfomance etiquette. Regardless of your gender or sexual orientation, you will have a good time at the Drag Brunch if drag and brunch are your thing. I can't speak to how the bar is during non-Drag Brunch hours. Never been. There is fat-friendly seating, you may have to ask for it. The miser in me needs to say $1 mimosas to $3 mimosas is a big price jump. That's all.

The amount of twinks I have found here is unreal. Love the atmosphere and all my bois. From a small coastal town good to get out party and unwind with my fellow twinks in peace and harmony

ALL the staff here is SO rude. Security at the door had a bad attitude (despite me showing up w one of the dancer’s partners), the bartender kept calling me “Hollywood” in some kind of derogatory way (even though I was wearing a flannel & a beanie???) & the dancers were very dismissive (I assume this is because I’m AFAB.) Never got to try the food, as I didn’t stay long due to everyone’s collectively horrible attitude. Also, I’ve heard SO many bad things about dancer’s experiences here, but that’s neither here nor there. Have fun w the roofies & terrible etiquette!

I love this club! It has a real pole setup for the dancers to be able to properly perform as strippers. The clientele has class. This is definitely the hottest male strip club of Portland. Also wow I think Bayside is my favorite dancer so hot and talented!

The bartender was great, super friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area. We were there before the dancers so we can’t speak to the quality in that aspect.

Bizarre staff. I was 1 of 2 clients; she was a sweet but lost drug addict. 7 staff wondering around, mostly rude presumably hetero street kids. Bartender friendly albeit confused making a mediocre $10 gin & juice

10/10 would recommend! We decided to do their drag brunch on a Saturday and it did not disappoint. For $35, we got an all-you-can-eat buffet that had delicious food on top of a three-hour show. From cookies n cream waffles, with fresh fruit and sides, to drag queens dancing on roller skates, we would absolutely come back. Please note this wasn't a regular drag show, it was so much more. Yes they did have queens lip singing and dancing, but they also had a comedy portion, a live singer with original songs, the cook on a stripper pole and a roller skating queen. It was non stop entertainment. Make sure you come with plenty of ones (and they will break 20s if needed), and an empty stomach!

Had fun with a friend, like a mother, for Mother's Day Drag Brunch. You can feel that morning ga aren't for all the performers, but props to even the hung over ones for putting on a surprisingly good show. They also added a bit of male stripping, which made for some interesting reactions among some. The food was ok. Not bad. The mimosa was good. You need to bring cash. I mean, there's an ATM but fees! Bring cash and the bartender will have you covered with one dollar bills!

All I can say is.....This place is in need of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! You never get a second chance to make a First Impression. My First Impression Left me feeling very Welcomed therefor I'm adding this place to my Top 3 bars in Portland! Now in saying that....I have only been in here Once and that was last Sunday at around 3ish P.M. The Bar itself is Stunning in Decor. It's Clean & the Staff at that time was 100% Hospitable & very Friendly to me & My sub who was in Gear with his Hood & Leashed! (It's how we travel in and around Portland Downtown!) We were not snickered at or looked down upon as we are in other places. They just let us be ourselves and were not into our lives.....Like they were at the PDX Eagle when we went there once awhile back...(We won't be Going to PDX Eagle anytime soon that's for sure!) Anyways.......It wasn't very busy at that time we went, they had just opened and were preparing for the Evening....In saying that..... I've walked by this place numerous times on a Sunday around 11am-1:30pm and never stopped in but I could hear the Crowd inside cheering away at the Drag Performers inside as they do their Job of Entertaining for Sunday Drag Brunch, (A necessity for all Gay Bars on Sundays!) Back to my visit.....We stopped by and had a couple of Sunday Beers from the tap....It was Happy Hour & the Draft Beer was half off. That would be half off of 5.00 dollars ($2.50 for a true High Pint) If I may say.....The Main Bar Tender at this time was an Anatomically Superior male in Looks & Service! All was Great at this Place! All staff I encountered had a welcoming Attitude with welcoming smiles! If you have not had a Chance to make it in this Bar put it on your list of places to go. I have learned over the years that a Place does not have to be Packed with people to be a Good Bar it's the people you go with and the Bar Staff themselves that make the Experience worth trying!

Awesome drag brunch!!! Strippers, drag, great food, and makes you feel included in the whole experience!! Only recommendation would be to play music in between performers for less silence

Disgraceful. Either scammy bartender, or management asking the staff to do illegal things. Pride 6/18/22 I joined clients at Stag for drinks. I ordered drinks for all of us, my card was swiped. Because I had joined CLIENTS for an event, I needed a receipt for tax purposes, but I wasn't offered one. I asked if the outside bar also had access to my card, and the bartender with the Mayan tattoo shoulder piece had maybe assumed I would make my way to both. He VERBALLY CONFIRMED that was the case, which made sense because it's illegal for a bar to have two different POS systems. So I went outside with my card, ordered more drinks for me and clients, only to be offered a receipt by the bartenders at the "block party." I was suspicious, but didn't want to assume one of the few queer bars in town would be so stupid. However, I still needed my first receipt to be able to write it off, and I wasn't able to tip the first bartender. I head back inside, wait, and when I'm finally helped , I order one more drink, and ask to close my tab, to which I'm told I don't have a tab. I inquire what that means, and am told I have to wait. I wait, but while I'm waiting, another gentleman tells me his partner also wasn't offered a receipt, and he was curious why. I catch the bartender again, and tell him I need a receipt so I can write it off and tip him, to which he tells me the outside bar iPad is where I need to close my receipt? And, there is an automatic charge of 20% for gratuity, which I absolutely did not consent to, and, I'm attaching a screen shot of the event description where they absolutely do not mention a additional 20% added to all tabs. I told him that is fraudulent if he can't provide me with my receipt, which is harsh, but true. During this time I watch at least 7 other patrons get their cards swiped, and the iPad turned to them so they can add gratuity. This is beyond taking advantage of patrons on a weekend that's suppose to celebrate lgbtq+, it's shameful and disgusting.

Came on a Thursday night to meet a friend, I will say I don't think I knew what I was getting myself into when I showed up. I got here early and there were a couple people hanging around drinking and socializing. After a couple hours it got pretty poppin, especially when the dancers started, it seemed to me that this place mostly attracts locals and most of the people there seemed to know each other. There was a mixed bag of talent among the dancers (body types, outfits, dance style, pronouns etc..) so if you're looking for a rock hard star studded cast you might go somewhere else. Compared to other strip clubs this place had a very down to earth/homey vibe. I'd be curious to come on a Fri/Sat night or even the drag brunch to get a more well rounded idea of how they operate during busy hours since people commented mostly on the service. Didn't have any issues getting drinks at the bar since it wasn't crazy busy.

Had the unfortunate experience of attending Stag last night for New Year's Eve. What a mistake! Where to start? We bought tickets for the "drag show" but no drag show ever happened just a drag MC (who was one of the only highlights of the night). The shirtless bartenders and most of the dancers looked like they never set foot in the gym a day in their life. The deejay was so horrible that not one single person danced once all night...on New Year's Eve! Less than basic. YAWN! I'll never go back.

I've really only been to bars where everyone sits and minds their own business and drinks, never been to a place so... exciting! With dancers! (Who were all just. Visions. Absolutely gorgeous people, and very kind. Jasper and Alex? My god) It had two clean gender neutral bathrooms, and a urinal My only complaint was that the line for the bar was constantly super long, and super slow. They only had one person making drinks (and they were very nice) but god, they need a second bartender or something to help move things along when things are busy

Remodeled several times since opening several years back, it's a fairly interesting wall. Drinks are good and well priced. Music is always ear shattering especially when the exotic dancers come out at 9 pm...cheers

This is an amazing atmosphere if you are looking for a fun drag brunch! I have gone to two shows and I have never been disappointed. The performers are BADASS and putting on a show of a lifetime. They never disappoint and you can never go wrong with $1 mimosas The performers really know how to make the crowd go wild! I highly recommend getting tickets early because they do sell out fast! It is also first come first serve on food. The food isn't be best but I really went to see the performers sooo it won't stop me from showing up!

What fun! Went out to their Sunday Drag Brunch hosted by Angel Phoenix and it was such a blast! The performances were spectacular, the Angel was hilarious, and my god did those queens work it!! Enjoyed the morning so much and felt like it was a great way to spend the Sunday. I reserved and prepaid online for a table, and sure enough when we got there, there was a table with my name on it! The doors opened at 11am but the show didn't start until 12:30. The brunch buffet was open around 12 and was full of brunch staples like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage links, biscuits, gravy, fruit, and more. The food was honestly pretty tasty and when you think about the fact that the show + brunch was only $15 a person, it's super worth it! Drinks were $3 bottles of mini champagne plus a mixer like orange juice, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice. Stag PDX is located in an easy to find and lively area and in the morning parking was not hard to find in front. The place was quite small, but it was a great vibe inside and out everyone there was a lot of fun. The jokes can get quite inappropriate, so be prepared and this may not be the place for you if you aren't a fan of dirty jokes. There also were some interactive parts of the show which were fun too. Overall, this place was awesome and all of us who went loved it - we are even thinking of making it a tradition for ringing in the new year! Can't recommend enough if you want a drag brunch in Portland. Great for anyone over 21! Can't speak to the night time happenings, but for at least one Sunday morning, it's a must. Also, bring LOTS of $1 bills ($5 ones if you're feeling spendy). These queens work hard for those tips!

I went to the first evening brunch tonight and what a wonderful surprise The food was top-notch the entertainment was extremely lively and entertaining. It had the most welcoming vibe, I had a chance to talk with the cook and some of his recipes were that of his grandmas and I thought that is special there was passion and love in his food. The cover at the door was $25, I don't think you can have that good of a meal and entertainment for $25. I can't wait to bring more friends there to enjoy a funny evening of lively drag queens

It's important for me to support queer businesses so it takes a lot for me to leave a negative review. I went in alone, visiting from out of state. Ordered a beer at the bar. Took a 4 second video of a gogo dancer on the stage, he was wearing full length pants and no shirt and was doing some dance moves with ropes from the ceiling. I thought it looked cool so I wanted to post it in an Instagram story. But as soon as I took the video, I got confronted by another dancer who got in my face and started yelling at me that I did not ask permission personally from the dancer on stage to take the video. I was truly confused as I never heard of this at any gay bar (or any bar in general). Usually when someone performs on a stage the expectation is that some people will take pictures or videos. I looked around to double check and there were no signs about photography. The two security people at the door who collected the cover charge didn't tell me anything about this policy when I arrived. The bartender didn't say anything either as I ordered my drink. I responded calmly that I will delete the video, but the angry staff person was still going, he yelled back "You SHOULD delete it! That's not cool!" Still confused, I deleted the video and decided to chug the rest of my beer and leave the place. I step outside and I realize that I am being followed by the dancer who was on stage. He got off the stage and ran after me to also confront me outside about the video. I was stunned by how comfortable they were being this aggressive with me but at the same time I never want to take a picture of anyone without their consent so I told myself that maybe I am missing something here and I stayed calm. To his credit the dancer was angry but not as demeaning as the other one. He asked me in a confrontational manner why I took the video, I felt stumped by the question. Why did I take a 4 second video of a gogo dancer on stage at a gay bar? In my home state, people are encouraged to take pics and videos of performers, selfies etc, and tag the bar on social media, I really wanted to ask him what their problem was but I simply said "You were performing, I took a short video, but I already deleted it, and there were no signs anywhere about photography." The dancer then says that at some point they announced it over the microphone. I told him I missed the announcement as I had just gotten there. I thought to myself, the bar was still accepting new patrons after this earlier announcement (even while I was talking to him some more people arrived to the bar), so what's the plan for everyone who arrived after this one announcement about the no video policy, were they gonna scream in those customers' faces as well if any of them took out their phone to take a picture of a show at a bar? I could see he was really angry so, without him asking, I pulled out my phone for him, opened the picture and video gallery and he looked at my pictures and when he saw there were none of him he went back inside. Maybe they are just disorganized, but I doubt it. A simple "I'm sorry sir you can't take videos here" or any type of warning would have been enough without the hostility and the drama of chasing me out the bar. If you are a person of color I do not recommend this bar for you.

I'm not happy about updating this review to one star as I was one of the biggest cheerleaders for this business from the day it opened its doors. However, because I was told to leave last Sunday because they deemed me "visibly intoxicated" when I wasn't, I have to wonder, what was their real motivation for getting me out of there. See, it just wouldn't be possible for me to be visibly intoxicated as they say I was after only having 3 (mediocre) drinks over a span of 2 hours. I can handle my liquor y'all. At any rate the owner was very responsive and promptly replied to my emails however his evaluation of my behavior and assessment was just him backing his boys and writing me platitudes. I'm not cheering for team Stag anymore. 2016 - Review # 58

I have gone to Stag multiple times and have to say Kimberly is one of the best drag queen host they have. Very personable, humorous and entertaining. I always try to make it out on Saturdays when she hosts. The only thing I would suggest is giving male customers the same amount of attention the female customers receive by the bartenders.

I first visited Stag at the beginning of Quarantine and let me tell you!! It was totally worth it! I love this place so much I am having my 40th bday party next month! It's so alive the vibe is everything and the people are even more! I met my closest friend here and the connection was magical! Def a place everyone needs to experience at least once!

I've been a customer of The Stag for years and it's one of my favorite places to go when I go out. There have been a few times where I felt like I was being ignored by some of the dancers, but for the most part the dancers, the bartenders, and the staff are super friendly. The drinks are nice and the dancers are hot. Right now I would say it's better than it's ever been. My only complaint is that I wish that there was more seating or at least more standing room so I don't feel like I'm always on top of someone. Danny Boy and Felix are great, so go meet them if you can

MIXED EMOTIONS 1. Atmosphere: Stag is split into 2 sections; the dance area/main bar, and the lounge. Aside from playing pool, the lounge area is pretty mellow. Conversely, the main bar/stage area is packed like sardines. On a club night, you'll find yourself crammed into a tight space with little breathing room. At other times, it is a pretty casual place to kick back and relax on a cozy chair. 2. Staff: My biggest complaint is when you sit at the stage. The staff immediately let you know that those are $2 seats, meaning you must tip the stippers at least $2 to sit there. Not $1, but $2. It comes across as petty and overbearing. Silverado could care less who is up by the stage and they've been doing fine for years. If you have such an issue then why not just remove the chairs? They're empty most of the time anyways. Outside of this annoyance, the staff are not an issue. 3. Drinks: I've had more heavy handed bartenders at other bars, like CC Slaughters and Scandals. Drink prices seem to be normal on club nights. Don't expect a lot for a little. 4. Dancing: There is not really any dedicated dance floor at Stag. I feel like they would get more business turning the lounge side into a dance floor with a dedicated DJ and lighting. CC Slaughters is turning into a lesbian bar, and is getting boring. People are looking for other places to dance. 5. Food: Stag serves pretty good food, which is a highlight. They're known for having a good brunch on Sundays. It's a great place to kick back, have a bite, and relax during the daytime. OVERALL: Stag does a good job competing with everyone else. There are other gay bars that out-compete them in a couple categories, but not by much. Since Silverado moved closer to the entertainment district, they will be in much closer competition with them. Stag's strong suits are daytime food, hot strippers, and convenience of being in the entertainment district. Weaknesses would include being hounded by staff of their $2 seats, no dedicated dance floor (which could bring in a lot more business), and perhaps more evening drink specials.

Had a great first male stripper and stripclub experience here at this gay bar for batchlorette party here before moving on to Darcels, it was SO packed and took forever to get drinks so come early! Cover was $5 a person. Private dances are $20 for a song, is a fun experience, and omg the talent of the dancers on the poles! If you could find a comfy seat with a view- which don't exist unless you get the one or two seating areas near stage- it's a fun time. Don't recommend it for those with crowd anxiety or who despise bars where they have to squeeze past other patrons like it's Mardis Gras in NOLA.

A group of friends and I were visiting Portland for the weekend and trying to celebrate 2 of their birthdays. We had a large group of friends visiting so it was hard to accommodate with Covid precautions. We went out to a couple places and had an Ok time, but we tried out Stag on Saturday and we had the most fun that you can imagine!!! The dancers were friendly, the bartenders were friendly, the bar backs quickly clear your table and make sure you are ok, and the owner is PHENOMENAL!!!!! He is on site and actually walked up to our table and made sure that we were having a good time, along with making sure that his staff was treating us right. He didn't know that we were from out of town until we told him and even checked on us and other tables throughout the night. He also makes sure that his employees feel comfortable and have the necessities that they need to have a smooth/ fun night. If you want a bar with a great atmosphere and AMAZING staff, make sure you check Stag out!!! Yes it does have a capacity during COVID, but they try to accommodate as much as they can! You will not regret visiting here and their dancers are great...especially Bailey...he is super friendly, will interact with your party, and will not pressure you to tip. The owner even took the time to get a picture with us. Come check it out on a Friday or a Saturday...you will not be disappointed!!!!!

The atmosphere here is so fun the decorations are great and the men here are beautiful! One star because we are in the middle of a pandemic with a contagious virus And NO one was wearing a mask! The law states that any place of business that is open to the public must be wearing them OR maintaining 6 feet... At least if you're offering lap dances at least wear them since you're violating the 6 feet rule?? I don't want the previous persons germs risking my life because you go from person to person, no cleaning, no mask. Damn.

There's really no contest, whatsoever, in the which-Portland-gay-strip-club-is-better contest: it's STAG. Friendly staff, acceptable drink selection, intimate environment (without being too claustrophobic or creepy) and a multi-culti roster of athletic, appealing strippers. There's basically a flavor for every taste, and the shorter, dual strip sets provide an ample amount of ongoing eye candy. While it is legal in Portland for strippers to truly let-it-all-hang-out, it's my experience that, at least in the earlier part of the evening, the performers keep the tube steak in their pouches and leave the particulars up to the dirty minds of the patrons--which is as it should be. The art of striptease--particularly the art of male go-go dancing--has seemed on the decline in the last couple of decades, but the men of STAG are doing a pretty damn good job of keeping the tease alive; thank god. As another Yelper has remarked, the presence of bachelorette parties is a buzzkill and yeah, I wish they'd go back to their straight pub crawls and stay outta the few bars we have remaining...but that's the way of the world. If we insist on the homophobes baking our wedding cakes, I guess we gotta let the drunk brides-to-be into our strip clubs. Special shout-out to strippers Ira & Pine (applauding those hipster names!) and Brody, who kept it all friendly, professional and very, very entertaining. Also thumbs up to whoever is programming STAG; the inclusion of trans- strip nights sounds very progressive and very, very Portland.

OMG, yes. Full disclosure: I'm a straight female, but my boyfriend knows how much I love to see well dressed, well toned men with no pressure of being the piece of meat in the room. We went here to dance and drink, and it was a great experience. The men dance on stage and on poles, so bring your singles! People were friendly, well dressed, and the DJ played great music! Will definitely be back!

Going to a strip club? This was not a first but it was my first gay strip club. While visiting Portland from San Diego last October (2015) for my birthday weekend, the first thing I heard on the ride from the airport was, "oh we are taking you to Stag!" It was my birthday so I was up for anything. During my 5 day trip we went there 4 times (twice on Sunday for Testify! and again that evening to meet other friends). Loads of hot, darn near nekkid men doing things on to a pole, the bar around the stage, and to suspecting and unsuspecting patrons who sit at the stage...what's not to love?! Gyrating hips and well-endowed nether regions for the hungry eyes to feast on; I am a fan! Testify! is a must as well. I'm a good Christian girl who loves her gospel music and those queens do not disappoint. Came out for another trip in March 2016 and of course another visit was made. Really like the transformation. It was tiny before the well needed expansion. Only criticism is there wasn't a TV monitor or even a cut out to allow you to watch the show from the other bar. I've not been back for a visit since I moved to PDX but that is impending.

First of all, Magic Mike lied to me. That is not what male strip clubs are like. At least not the two in Portland. We went to both Silverado and Stag. They're different, so the question of which one is better depends on your preference. I prefer Stag. The cute bartender may or may not have bribed me to say Stag is better with free shots. But that doesn't matter, he could have done nothing but stand there looking pretty and I would still say Stag is more fun. It's more of bar where naked guys happen to be dancing around, rather than the strippers taking center stage. And we got to hang out with the owner and friends of the bartender all night... doesn't get more welcoming than that!

Now this is the place to be if you want to have a great time. I stepped in here after a quick, and disappointing, visit to Silverado. I immediately feel in love with Stag. The bartenders are nice and cute, but the dancers.. so hot, hot, HOT! I was vacationing for Labor Day weekend, and I came every night I was in town. I simply loved the atmosphere. Good music, cheap drinks and gorgeous boys, especially Ezra. He welcomed me everytime almost immediately when I walked through the door. He was adorable. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town

I've been here multiple times. It's fun. The people and staff at friendly. The dancers genuinely are also. It gives a community vibe. The drinks are strong, the dancing is good. They also have drag brunch on Sunday mornings- afternoon. I'm glad this place is in my community. Thank you to the owner for being diligent in keeping safely open for your community during these times.

I like this place a lot better than Silverado. They have good looking strippers and the layout of the bar is a lot more engaging. You have to walk by them to get to the other side of the bar, so you can't hide in the back like you can at other strip clubs. They're a lot of fun and keep you interested. I'm a gal, so I didn't get as much attention as my gay boy friends, but I still had a great time.

As a gay woman with a gay male friend visiting and a bisexual wife we all had a great time here!! Good drinks. Nice decor. Feels comfortable, and when the typical bachelorette party showed up no one treated them any different except for making sure they showed respect. The announcer kindly told them no screaming as this is a gentleman's club. I think this place is very inclusionary. I felt very welcome and comfortable. MUCH better dancer than Silverado, but then the guys there don't actually do any dancing. Better looking guys here too (yes a gay woman can appreciate male artwork..lol)

We showed up for a bachelorette party, the security guard acted as if our small party of 6 was an inconvenience. He made the manager come out and tell us to take off all our party gear and took it behind the bar, the men (no offense you do your thing) we're mediocre, the very hot and polite bartender Neil was really our only win at this place. I'd rather stick to silverados, their customer service is far superior to stag. The space is small, cramped and awkward. There's just better places in walking distance then this place. Save your money ladies and go else where
