Stag has hosted drag performances, including weekly drag-hosted brunches called 'Testify'. Crush offers a foodie-friendly menu, crafted cocktails.

Crush (1400 SE Morrison) Crush is among Portland’s coziest, most queer-friendly bars, and is presently Southeast Portland’s only LGBTQ+ bar.

These places are best for gay clubs & bars in Portland: Eagle PDX. Willamette Week said the Christopher David-designed club 'looks like the private rooms where today's grandpas once held stag parties, with brown leather couches, Victorian wallpapered sitting rooms, Edison bulbs hanging from nautical rope, and dark, aqua walls covered in snowshoes and ancient oars and framed kitsch-plus a taxidermal white buck behind the bar.' Vendors used to design the interior were 'part of the community', according to owner Jerrick Hope-Lang, who said, 'They wanted to have a very masculine, Pacific Northwest feel - a gentleman's club-meets-hunting lodge-meets-hot boys dancing in thongs.' The gay-owned bar at 317 Northwest Broadway in downtown Portland has been described as 'more gentlemen's club than night club' and 'Northwest lounge-meets-library-meets-executive locker room'.
