About
Don't expect just another cocktail lounge. Crush Bar is a gay-owned spot in Southeast Portland where plush couches and granite coffee tables set the stage for burlesque, drag shows, and themed nights like their popular Crave parties.
The vibe shifts throughout the week. Tuesdays bring a relaxed happy hour that runs all night, while weekends get busy with a mixed crowd that includes baby dykes, gay men, and straight friends. The full dinner menu means you can eat here too, and the outdoor seating offers a quieter escape when it gets packed.
Located in Southeast Portland, Crush Bar is part of a lively area with other queer-friendly venues nearby.

“Freddy”
I discovered Crush last November and ended up there on a Freddy Mercury tribute night. My friends and I had an amazing time. Great food, great vibe!

“They're changing for the better”
I wasn't really into this place until about a year ago. A few times the dance floor was enjoyable, the drinks were excellent, and the themed nights attracted a diverse crowd. Recently they've been putting on Crave parties that are full of attractive young queer women, but they still welcome the guys too. My straight friends can come with me and not feel out of place. However, on very busy nights, they could use more bartenders. Getting a drink can be really annoying.
