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.
Wed. DJs 9-close

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.
