CC Slaughters Nightclub and Lounge

Dancing · Portland, OR

About

What sets CC Slaughters apart is its Rainbow Room Lounge and a martini menu that draws regulars from across Portland. The huge dance floor (well, maybe not huge, but the bartenders aren't assholes) gets busy on weekends with a mixed gay-straight crowd. Drag shows run regularly, and the Superstar Divas show on Sunday nights is a local favorite.

Happy hour brings good deals on those signature cocktails. The lighting equipment doesn't always get used, so don't count on a full light show. It's a lively spot where you'll find strong drinks and a friendly vibe overall.

Located in downtown Portland, steps from other nightlife spots like Darcelle XV.

“Great music and martinis!”

I adore C.C.'s! There are events every day of the week, and the Sunday night Superstar Divas drag show is Portland's best. The dance floor is the weekend hotspot with consistently good dance music. Their dirty vodka martinis are among the top in Portland, strong and properly dirty—just how I prefer them.

“Mixed response here...”

There are a couple of excellent bartenders here along with a couple who are less so. The crowd is generally friendly. I didn't see it get too crowded, which might change the atmosphere.

“Fun MIXED Crowd”

Okay, the dance floor isn't "huge," but the bartenders are not rude either. Oh, and smoking is no longer allowed in Portland bars. Drinks are strong, service is excellent, but the crowd is too mixed for my taste...the straight drunk women from Darcell's can be unbearable some nights. Big downside: great music but the light show is usually not used...what's the point of having excellent lighting equipment?

“loved it”

I'm from Palm Springs and it's rare to find a club with the atmosphere that C.C.'s offers.
