About Scandals

Scandals is a Portland LGBTQ+ institution, proudly supporting the community for years. This local spot is a popular neighborhood gay bar, known for its lively atmosphere and quick service. It is a great place to grab a drink, especially during the nighttime, which is perfect for those working late shifts. The bar used to be a beautiful space with pride and care put into its design, but in recent years, it has become more of a dive bar, with exposed subfloor painted gray where Ruby Red Carpets once were. Despite these changes, the friendly bartenders make guests feel welcome, often starting drinks before customers even reach the door. During special events like pride weekend, the atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, making it a favorite spot for many in Portland's queer community.
