Blackstones

Blackstones used to be Portland's dark, default leather bar, a thing of mystery and a joint many guys would avoid even 5 years ago. Like many of its ilk throughout the country, though, Blackstones has unwittingly become the city's most inviting gay bar, and it's not uncommon to see a bachelorette party co-mingling with the Harbor Masters, the city's official leather set. Note: Blackstones' buff bartenders are known for their generous pour, but don't forget cash. They don't take credit cards and there isn't an ATM anywhere in sight.
