Although some of the most popular of Portland's gay bars are along the Southwest Stark Street strip, a 10-minute walk east toward the waterfront will lead you to Old Town, which has another cluster of fun Portland gay bars, including Darcelle XV, C.C. Slaughter's, Hobo's (also a very good restaurant), the Dirty Duck, and Fox & Hounds. Also in the vicinity is the fabulously quirky Voodoo Doughnuts, which is open 24/7.
