Nice patio. Good service. Pricey drinks ($11 for an Absolut vodka cocktail). Glad I got to experience it while on my trip.

Neighborhood bar. Lots of locals (and gossip!). Nice staff and strong drinks! Sort of a gay 'Cheers". Fun karaoke (and I don't like karaoke) on Thursdays and Saturdays. Cheap martinis on Tuesdays.

Cheap eats! A good steak for about $7.95?!!? Yes! Most everything I have had has been very good especially considering the price. Bartenders can have attitude sometimes, but it is not widespread. Just a few bad apples. Sometimes the food can be overseasoned, but ask for none and they'll do it.

If you are a bear or are into bears then this is your place. If you are not a bear or an admirer of them then do not bother. Not very friendly from my times there and I have been about 10 times. Had one fun night when I met some folks from out of town. Food used to be pretty good, but average at best now.

Appears to be lots of regulars. Mix of people: old, young, and EVERYTHING in between. Nice staff. Terrible parking.

Friendly, neighborhood bar. Nice staff. Opens at 9am!! Sketchy neighborhood so be aware.

New bar to the scene. Very pretty but somewhat sterile. Not sure what type of bar it is going to develop into...bear? dance? she-she? No smoking indoors but you can smoke in large patio area.

Mixed crowd of mostly regulars. Small, friendly and unassuming.

Tucked away in the rear of Ansley Mall. Nice bartenders and atmosphere. Great place to meet friends and make new ones.

I was told THIS was the bar to go to when visiting PDX. Well, not very entertaining. The strip bar is separated from the casual bar. Strippers for the most part were nice looking but nothing I had not seen before. We were the during a pretty warm period and the stripper side of the bar was unbearably hot and stagnant. Other side of bar was a bit friendlier but was pretty empty and this was a Friday night. Maybe just bad timing for me.

While visiting PDX I happened upon Scandal's and it was a nice surprise. Nice mixture of people. Friendly patrons and staff. Hand muddled margarita's were super! Can't wait to visit again.

This space is large, open and beautiful. Sammy, bartender, is GREAT. Sunday days are usually busy especially on the patio when the weather is nice. Usually an OK crowd around happy hour but clears out early. Food is good. Hope it continues to grow and prosper because it is a nice place.

Went a while back for a benefit. Good crowd (not sure what it is like when there is not a special event). Bartenders were nice and attentive. Lots of lesbians. Seemed like it was mostly regulars. Would I go back, not sure.

Nice low key bar with super friendly bartender who turned out to be the owner while we were there in the off season. Good drinks. Fun times. Can't wait to go back.

Diva's show was great. Very original. Beautiful sunset overlooking the Pacific. Nice staff. Very good food also.

This may be very different on weekends, but the weeknight I was there I just found the place to be a little dull, a lounge with no real character, and it didn't even come off much like a gay bar. Suppose it would be okay to go with friends for some quiet conversation. Doesn't exactly seem like a fun, friendly bar, however. Mixed men and women the night I was there. A bit of a dive, which may be the only thing to recommend it!

With a name like Posh I expected this place to be full of piss elegant twentysomethings with their noses in the air. Actually the bartender seemed to be the youngest person there and the median age of the customers was around forty. The decor is nice but not in the least bit "posh," which I guess is the joke. Friendly, convivial bar that on my visit on a Tuesday seemed to have no pretentions or attitude. Liked it! Worth another visit to be sure.

Went here around 8 on a Tuesday and it was dead, but I've been told it picks up later in the evenings and on weekends. A pleasant, unpretentious spot with a long bar that I was told never has any stools. There are chairs and restaurant-type tables against the walls but they fill up quickly. Cheap drink prices. The few customers were quite friendly. But if you want to "sit a spell" go elsewhere!

This attracts a youngish, well-dressed, upscale crowd in an attractive setting. Except upstairs, there doesn't appear to be a bar as such; instead you get your drinks at a service area and sit on couches or along a long, thin table. The drinks were surprisingly strong and before eight PM on weeknights they're 2 for 1. Not for everyone, but a pleasant, popular spot that was busy even on a Tuesday. Your younger friends will love it.

A nice, attractive bar with mostly men of mixed ages, generally younger. Friendly bartenders. Very packed on weekends and not a bad crowd on weeknights as well. Been here a few times and I have to say that the younger guys here can sometimes be a little snooty. Mature men should probably go with a buddy.

Dropped in just for a quick one on Fat Tuesday and the place was jumping. I stayed for hours. Smallish, intimate, friendly bar with sexy bartenders and an attractive younger crowd. A few more mature men and some women go in here as well but the ambience is very gay. 2 for 1 drinks never hurt. I found it one of the livelier and friendlier bars in Chelsea. Definitely worth a visit.
