I have been to so many gay clubs while traveling around the united states and I can promise you I have never seen anything as bad as the Silverado. The guy at the front door was so rude to some of the people coming in the door in front of us. We were watching the whole scene and the two guys coming in were nice guys visiting from out of town also (we talked to them on the way in). If this is how Portland caters to visitors, I have no desire to return. Another bar, called CC's was not that crowded, but the staff were super sweet and they had good priced drinks. Honestly, if you are coming to Portland and you are gay, you should just change your flight and find another locale. This place is terrible and I wouldn't come back for the gay community.
Pros: None that I could find
Cons: Terrible staff
