Stag PDX

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

The service was great. The ambiance was incredible. They had male dancers and they were great and really nice. Most cute too. I highly recommend it to have fun at.

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.

I broke a 192 day reading streak to hang out with the dancers and respectfully line their waistbands with my money. Im not even mad about the reading streak

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.

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!

Great space to enjoy a drink and some great looking dancers. Atticus was particularly fun and welcoming!

Good variety of dancers, but I'd warn customers to avoid Peter (real name Dennis). He's a hustler who'll randomly take your hand and walk you to the $40 'lap dance' area. If I wanted a lap dance, I'd let him know.

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!
