BarFly's Review of Dugo's (CLOSED)

Portlan's most wretched hive of scum and villiany has closed it's doors. Sigh. Burnside will never be the same.

Will be missed--

A true relic of skid row squalor, authenticity if you will, now dissappered. I'll miss it, but hey it's not the eighties any more. You can always re-read Mala Noche, right?

Another one bites the dust

I walked by yesterday and there was a sign on the door that said Closed Permanently. Shanghai Steakery's gone permanently too. Now I'm wondering where those bar's classy clientele is going to hang out at next. Ash Street?

Dugo's vs the Shanghai

i am pretty tolerant of dirt but i turned around after about 10 seconds in Dugo's because i couldn't bring myself to sit down on the "furniture".

Heads up Pamela

Has your business increased now that OLCC has shut down Shanghai Steakery for now? Bet you did a happy dance when you found that out. OLCC is gunning for you too, so walk soft. As in, it's probably not a good idea to let in dealers or hookers who may proposition an undercover agent. Just sayin'.

Be afraid...be very afraid,,,

Met the famous dentally challenged eskimo....yes thats a prostitute...who overcharges! Guess i looked like a patsy i wonder who actually pays for her services. This place is way scary i wonder how it stays open. How would one go about cleaning up a place that's that far gone??

You admit to owning that place?

I stand by my review, I didn't make any of that up. I wear the bracelet all the time. If we are thinking about the same toothless eskimo, I watched her proposition some timid old man who wanted nothing to do with her while I waited to cross the street. Right in front of your fine establishment. Which could cause you legal trouble, BTW, so I wouldn't defend her if I were you. For someone who has all that land she sure spends a lot of time here rollin' withthe crackheads. As for your customers having jobs, maybe 1 in 10 of them do. But you enjoy the boost in sales around the 1st of the month when the government checks come in, don't 'cha? I used to work at the Shanghai Steakery (and I had the balls to work there even though I'm not a guy) so I know what I'm talking about, too bad. I don't care how down on my luck I was, I would never peddle my ass. Are you saying you might if you were down on your luck?

Owner

This place in not that bad at all. You can find dealers anywhere if ou are long as you are looking for them. Not all the customers are on welfare or disability but actually have a thing called jobs. Amazing. And that toothless eskimo hooker isnt a real hooker but (Patty) is a real eskimo from Alaska and she also owns quite a bit of land there. Sometimes people arn't whom they seem, maybe this guy needs a set of real balls himself. Maybe he should hope that he is never down on his luck.

Real taste of the locals!

I enjoy Dugo's which is located in the heart of down town across from Dante’s. One of the best quotes ever came from a fellow Dugo’s patron "tell your friend she’s a beautiful creature”. It’s dirty cheap… literally but worth the laugh if you can withstand the intimidation from the locals whom can get rather rowdy. Not suggested for a first date without a sense of humor.

Alriiight!!

This is THE place to meet your next dealer after your old one gets shipped off to rehab. You can also get great christmas presents from the boosters who sell their car-prowl treasures there. (Genuine Tiffany bracelet, $1.50! No, really! Sorry if that was yours.) They cash welfare and disability checks, so the clientele is a real treat. In the market for a toothless eskimo hooker who hasn't bathed in a year? This place will be your best friend. It may be known around town as Du-NOT-go's, but sometimes you gotta say, "What the fuck?" So grow a pair, buy some hand sanitizer, and give this place a go. Dare ya.
