BarFly's Review of Scooter McQuade's
Despite the name (and location), Scooter McQuade’s isn’t a gay bar. Weekend nights, depending upon one’s suspicion of bromances, it’s about the direct opposite - popped collars and imported blondes overwhelming the constrained shotgun-dive floorplan to party as the beer ads would want them to. Waste of a decent bar, you’d think - excellent kitchen, charming staff and Old Portland memorabilia-stuffed wooden interiors all deserving notice - but let’s give the fratboys credit for their greatest invention: the $1 Jello shot. Scooter’s serves Portland’s finest liquored Jello in any number of flavors well worth squeezing through the teeming louts ever packed against the bar. There’s always room. Open 10am-2:30am everyday. 50 cents off everything 4-7pm M-F.
Happy Hours
If you drop your wallet dont bend over in this place to pick it up. Boatloads of old cheap bastards and gay guys. Now I have never used the bathroom but there's gotta be a glory hole there.
The bartender was ok. The cook looked like a recovering meth addict and my nachos were disgusting. You really cant fuck up a beer on draft so at least that tasted good.
I dont know why anybody would go here except to pre-funk for the fish grotto and panorama, sad to say that would not be me, but those guys are welcome to have a gay ol' time here.

I'd like to say I lost my virginity at this bar, but that's not exactly true. However, in a way, I did experience a few firsts. My first Jello shot, my first Mai Tai, and my first Lemon Drop. A convenient little bar within walking distance of me. Friendly staff and service, and nice strong drinks.

Good drinks. Good food, now served until midnight. During the day regulars and local wackos. At night full of 20 somethings having a great time. Love the bartenders

great stop on your way downtown. drinks are cheap and strong - don't forget the jello shot! Usually pretty crowded with only 2 servers so service can sometimes be tough to get. Fun oollege like bar crowd.
