I know the bars you're talking about, Mr. S. Would you believe that ladies are not permitted in the upstairs rooms? Gracious me, I thought that sort of segregation was out of style!
Seriously, hanging around those places (espeically in Portland, where people tend to let it all hang out) is a really, REALLY nasty way to put out an eye...

Those are the places where they have the urinal trough running along the bar so you don't have to leave your drink, right?

Isn't there an all-night diner in that neighborhood that sometimes fills up with drag queens after 2 AM? Fun place. I think it's right around the corner from hotel mrsmiley's staying at.
mrsmiley, gay bars are often the best places to meet women 'cause if there's a woman in a gay bar she's probably straight!

Mr. Smiley,
Sorry I didn't think to warn you about "Vaseline Alley". Jake's sits right in the middle of it.
You might want to catch a movie tonight at the Mission Theater - it's a "Theater Pub", an animal very popular in these parts and rightly so. Good grub, beer (or cocktails) and a second run movie in a cool old theater. There are tons of 'em in town, but I believe Mission is the closest.
Also, Gypsy on NW 21st has pretty cool retro atmosphere. An do try to catch happy hour at the top of the Big Pink building - it's the tallest building in town and has a great view and happy hour...

The few women there had larger Adams apples than I do....strange. Must be the Portland water.

there are so many buildings in downtown that my view is only a block at a time--where is this Big pink building you speak of?

It's the biggest, pinkest building in town - can't miss it. It's near Burnside and 4th downtown. The restaurant/lounge is called Portland City Grill.
Seeya tonight!
