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.
