Stag was fine, but the dancers weren’t all that hot. A couple of otters approached me and asked if I’d like a private $20 dance, but I demurred. Some of the patrons were hotter than the dancers. I had a pleasant chat with two lipstick lesbians and the little bartender was cute and very polite. Never made it to Silverado, but there’s always a next time. That’s said, Portland is a clean, lovely city and it’s only a 3.5 hour drive, so I’ll definitely be back.
On a sartorial note, a visit to Orox on NW Couch is worth a visit. They make great leather goods, including belts. I bought another black 1.5 in. wide black belt with a nickel buckle. The owner’s son just received some English medium brown bridle leather and said he’d make me a belt with a burnished brass buckle in 20 minutes. I went out for a cortado, and when I returned it was finished. He monogrammed both for me gratis. They have an online presence. Highly recommended.
