Scandals (gay bar)


Scandals, or sometimes Scandals PDX, is a gay bar in Portland, Oregon, in the United States.

Description and history

Scandals was established in 1979. In 2015, Willamette Week said of the bar:
In his 2019 "overview of Portland's LGBTQ+ nightlife for the newcomer", Andrew Jankowski of the Portland Mercury wrote: "At 40 years young, Scandals is among Portland's longest-running LGBTQ+ bars and is the last vestige of downtown's long-gone Vaseline Alley gay district. Scandals features pool tables, a sidewalk patio, trivia, viewing parties, karaoke, and monthly live jazz. You can order food from neighboring dive restaurant the Roxy and bring it over. Every June during Pride, Scandals shuts down their section of street for an epic block party."
