CC Slaughters

The CC Slaughters in Portland, Oregon, located on Northwest Davis Street in the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood, was established in 1981.

[4] The Portland Mercury has described the club as having a "shiny and modern inside with no cover charge, a big dance floor and crazy laser/light show".

[19][20] The statement issued by the company's marketing director stated: [The] majority of [CC Slaughters] patrons are prohibited under Oregon Law from entering into a marriage with the one they love.

So, when parties of bachelorettes walk through the doors of a gay nightclub, branded from head-to-toe in prenuptial garb and there to celebrate their upcoming marriage, many of our patrons were taking offense to it.

[19]In 2013, the policy was criticized by a lesbian couple who were denied entry to the bar when they arrived in their wedding dresses (they were married earlier that day).

[21] A short while later, two male patrons in matching grooms shirts and bow ties were refused entry on the ground they violated the club's policy against bachelorette party attire.

[3] CC's was a runner-up in the "Best Drag Show" and "Best LGBTQ Bar" categories of Willamette Week's "Best of Portland Readers' Poll 2020".
