It's enough! I've heard it to many time's and it's fuckin driving me CRAZY!!! I think Casey's is o.k., But the homeless people and the horrible drunks have to GO!!! This bar could be nice if they put a stop to those freaks!!! That's it I'm done.

Was cool for a while. Okay on Friday or Saturday. Great space but most the clientele are a bit scuzzy or wasted. Seriously the owner is a frightmare and pours half shots. $11.00 for a Jameson and a Blue Moon pint is steep but really if I am going to pay that then I'd like a normal size shot. Plus he acts like you are bothering him and never smiles or says thanks. I have no clue why I tipped him.

Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else but here. Gezus, even Silverado is a step up from this place.

I've been in here 4 or five times with friends and my boyfriend and until the last time when a guy offered to buy my boy a drink did we realize it was a gay bar. There are just as many straight as gay people here usually and we had no idea we were invading the gay scene. Oops. But seriously, either it should be obvious by the crowd or there should be something that gives it away hanging from the ceiling..

Its really nice that the owner comes out and meets his guests. Very friendly and generous. The place is clean and I love having a private bathroom. The bartenders and all very friendly and very attentive. Its also nice not to feel like your not trying to hide from people walking by in a basement with no windows. The wrap around window is nice if you like to go in and just people watch. Its very easy to walk in and out of. I hate going in a bar and spending 100.00 on myself and leaving with no buzz. Caseys has the best free pour drinks in the city. I spent the entire gay pride weekend there. All these other reviews are outdated and the place has done a 180. I have nothing bad to say about this place at all

So much politics and outright non-committal of it's owner to the gay community has made Casey's of Portland the place to AVOID. Good place for meth heads and drunks who can walk home. choice of beers rotates and fluctuates as the owner decides to pay his distributor bills. Blowpony left the scene a year ago. Eagle underground closed due to lack of business. Owner being sued (supposedely) but numerous news articles written on his lack of ability to pay his own employees. This bar is probably the worst place in the city you can think of going to.

I've been here several times since moving to Portland recently. I like the layout and general vibe, the bartenders are real friendly, they have a jukebox, dartboard. Seems like it should be a great place to meet some down to earth MEN but not really the case. Happy hour crowd is abysmal. I did get hit on by a homeless women here one late afternoon....sweet. Also, calling it a gay bar seems almost a stretch with the mixed crowd and giggling groups of girls. Not really blaming the bar though. This is what happens when gay men stay at home and diddle away on the computer as opposed to going out for some human interaction. the bars suffer and then when they go out once a year they bitch cause the bars have started catering to other crowds so they can pay their rent.

Anyways, if you go here I suggest maybe after 9 when the homeless people have reported to their shelters for the night and the trolls are too drunk by then to walk over and slur sweet nothings in your ear. Blowpony is always a fun night.

With the exception of NYC, which to it's credit does at least have gay clicks, I really think Portland has the most boring gay scene of anywhere in the USA with which I'm familiar. I'm wondering if it's because we're so liberal that we homo's don't need to bond with each other. There really is no sexual edge, conversation, or even competition in any of the bars here. This one included, but the guy at the bar was nice.

I've lived/been to gay bars in many US cities. Portland's scene is bad and gets worse. Casey's tried, but the guys/scene in Portland is lame. During the week and most nights Casey's is empty, BUT then on random Saturday's like this past weekend it is overflowing - WITH YOUNG WOMEN. I went down and used a urinal downstairs and a young fat woman backed her a$$ up to a urinal, dropped trou and took a leak! Enuf said. Portland sucks.

such a chill atmosphere - the dancers are really attentive and have lots of personality. Never had to wait long for a bartender or a drink - lots of dancing, strong drinks and hott guys

i thought i'd give this bar a couple of months after its opening to find its style, but after 10 or so visits, it continues to be a boring gay cliche hole of bad music and expensive drinks - $3 PBRs!!! out-fucking-rageous for such a shitty bar. cheap drinks would be the only thing that would get me in there again.

03/09/08: Been here in Portland for a lil over a week. Kinda taken a liking to Casey's. It's a nice neighborhood gay bar that you don't know is gay til you see the men kissing and notice the rather low f : m ratio. The owner is quite friendly, as well as the staff. The drinks can be strong, and nicely priced. It can be slow during the week, but weekends are great. Casey's is a place you can make your own... you just gotta get there and do it.

ahhh blah.... they didn't have bud light, they open the eagle too late and it's pretty dead...

its pretty big, that makes it feel even more odd when there are only 4 people there. it also feels really unfinished, some walls are just drywall and the one next too it will be all fancy with paint and Ikea like fixtures. HOWEVER drinks are strong, and the staff is pretty nice. you can carry a conversation, there isn't a lot of competition for the pool table and its nice to be in a gay bar and not have drunk queens all up in your grill pawing and drooling. also kareoke is somehow more hillarious when you are singing to a room of 5, 3 of womb are really drunk older women with no teeth. but i'm not giving it enough credit, its not that bad just always feels empty.

I haven't been to Casey's at night which is when, I suspect, all the action happens. However, I did spend a pleasant hour and a half drinking and reading in the afternoon. The waiter was very nice. The drinks were good. It's a great place to people watch so get a seat by the window.
