We took our company out to Darcelle's for the show. It was so much fun. The entertainers were incredible, the show had so much energy and Stephanie took great care of us with drinks! If you are noise sensitive, I would bring some earplugs because it was pretty loud, but take a chance... I'm pretty confident you'll leave with a smile on your face! We need to keep supporting this business that has been around for nearly 60 years. read more

Darcelle's is iconic and such a fun place! I hadn't been to the brunch show before so we had to go for our monthly girls get together. It was a great show; I loved every performance, service was excellent and the food was good! They serve everyone the same plate & you can get brunch cocktails. Seats are first come, first serve so show up before the doors open. read more

I've been a few times, and it is always so much fun! They really try to connect with the audience and just leave you laughing your head off. My friend and I went for brunch today and had a really good time. The food was decent enough, and the performers were fantastic. I look forward to coming back again sometime soon! read more

Ok, first off I arrived quite intoxicated, having just been out with friends, and this place was right next to the hotel that I was staying at so I just walked over and the people who let me in knew I was drunk and asked if I would just not drink anymore... I agreed. Went to the bar and the wonderful bartender was so sweet and kept supplying me with water. So I hung out for maybe an hour or so and met some great people and whoever this person was that allowed me to cuddle and have my picture taken with was just a dream. I love this place. read more

This place was so much fun. The food on the other hand was not very good as you can see as pictured. The drinks were so good. The service was amazing, very attentive. This was a very nice experience. They even hung out with us after the show and had time to take pictures with us. We had a blast. read more

Best drag bar in the Pacific Northwest. Darcelle's is iconic - and for good reason. You will be transported to old school Portland with a twist of old school Las Vegas. I also highly suggest visiting on a Tuesday for their $5 cover Catch a Rising Star show - 90 minutes of fun entertainment with a mixture of veterans and new-school drag and affordable food and drink. Poison Waters is naturally the funniest drag queen in Portland and will make you laugh hands down. Great to visit for a special occasion, random Tuesday night, or just when you need a fun night out. If you have never been, you are missing out. read more

I would give this 10 stars for how much fun we had but sadly the one negative is the sound - these talented performers deserve to have better sound and it was to the point of almost painful for us - so loud and distorted. We are two 68 years olds who were there with our daughter and son-in-law. We laughed so much and had such a good time. The MC, Poison Waters is absolutely incredible. Her interaction with the audience and various groups of bride-to-be's, and birthday celebrants was hysterical. We plan to go back the end of August to celebrate my son-in-law and his aunt's birthdays. Truly a memorable evening. Thank you! read more

This venue is part of Portland history and I hope they make it out of their rough patch. It would be sad to see them close. Here's a few thoughts, good and bad... 1. How they do their reservation/booking process is probably losing many potential guests. You have to fill out a form and wait for someone to text or call you two days before the date you asked for. I was trying to book several weeks out for when a friend was visiting, I almost gave up when I never heard back. 2.. They are not in the best part of town and are right next to a homeless shelter where a lot of the shelters patrons are standing and loitering outside. Not something they can fix but it's good to know before going. 3. The entire staff is helpful and friendly. You do feel very welcomed when you walk thru the door. 4. The entertainers are beautiful and they really put a lot of effort into their look. 5. Most of the entertainers just lip synced while just standing on stage. I found myself daydreaming most of the show. There were a few performers who actually had some choreography and that was fun. But more than half of the show was someone just standing and lip syncing maybe doing a few hand gestures. 6.I think what really carried the show during the lip synching acts was the participation of the crowd to the music. 7. The host was really really funny. 8. At the start of the show they played show tunes for an ungodly length of time. You're just sitting there expecting the show to start for 10 minutes. 9. Drinks were weak. Even the wine tasted off. At the end of the day I think ppl should check the show out. It's does feel like you're walking into a time capsule. Would just love to see more choreography and energy on the stage. read more

Few Portlanders are as dazzling as the internationally acclaimed Darcelle XV. The storied performer's life is one made for the movies; rags to riches, rejection to acceptance, personal reinvention during a period of radical social change. Her life story has Oscar-worthy buzz, and it continues to build as the 92-year-old delights audiences night after night in her old town club. When the glitzy new sign was hoisted up in the late 1960's, it's safe to say no one expected what a legacy both the performer and venue would create. Celebrating a recent designation on the National Register of Historic Places, Darcelle XV Showplace has achieved renown for operating the longest-running drag show on the west coast. And Darcelle holds a Guinness World Record for being the oldest performing drag queen. Here are some tips about visiting Darcelle XV: 1. The club is a small venue in a traditional cabaret-style setup. There are excellent seats up-close and personal next to the stage, but also comfortable booths and tables throughout the room. There really isn't a bad seat in the house. 2. Be forewarned if you are a wallflower. The performers love interacting with the audience, so be prepared to either be on the receiving end of a gag or to be flirted with mercilessly. Anything goes at Darcelle XV. 3. The drinks are strong, so pace yourself! But you should definitely imbibe if that's your thing because they have a great selection, as well as friendly servers. 4. The venue is practically a museum with framed photos, autographs and decor that tell a story of Darcelle's life and her involvement in the community. Make sure you arrive with enough time to check the place out. If you haven't had the opportunity to take in a show at Darcelle's XV, please do so while you can. At 92 years of age, every performance Darcelle gives us is a gift; the cherry on top of an extraordinary career. You won't regret the experience of witnessing a true legend doing what she does best. read more

Darcelle XV is a drag bar in Portland, Oregon, and it's also the stage name of its former owner, Walter Willard Cole, the Guinness World Records holder for being the oldest drag queen performer. He recently died in March 2023. There are still drag shows being performed on weekends, and tickets start at $28. As far as the quality of these shows, they are just okay. You will find majority of the performances as low-energy lip syncs with no emotion. It's understandable as this place is known to celebrate older performers. From a performance aspect, the shows are kind of weak. It may be interesting as a one-time experience, but you can absolutely live a happy life without seeing this. Now that Darcelle XV passed away this year, who knows the future of this place. read more

Greeted kindly at the door. Loved the welcome from all the staff My name was accidentally left off the reservations for brunch but that is expected for all companies to happen once in a while Food was good loved the chicken strips fat and juicy Great entertainment from all on stage Will return read more

What an incredible gem this place truly is! For the first time in years, I was finally able to have the opportunity to visit Darcelles and enjoy a Friday night show. Our group arrived ridiculously early, and felt pretty uncomfortable waiting outside. One of the staff noticed we were out waiting, and invited us in. Although we were super early, staff were incredibly courteous and welcoming while they were prepping for the show. We were cared for and served within minutes of finding our seats. I was just so impressed by this stellar customer service, I knew we'd be in for a treat. Be warned, the drinks are very strong. They are also delicious. If you are seated at the end of the row, you may struggle in finding a good place to rest your drinks during the show, consider sitting next to a small table if possible. Also be warned that you should for sure have single bills to tip the performers. There was a staff member who did this at the beginning of the show, but it's always nice to have single bells handy before coming in. This 90 minute show was a blast and one of the highlights of my fall adventures already. Consider going with friends, family, or even a significant other! read more

We visited Darcelles when we were in Portland and it was an experience. As others have mentioned, it is an old school drag show. Most of the queens are older and have a sense of old school vibe to their performances. Coming from California and having been to drag performances before at places like Hamburger Mary's, this is not that. The place is small. So much so they squeeze as many seats as possible, but not in a comfortable way, so much so you are inches from others. We had a good time, but know what to expect. It was a cool experience. read more

My sister turned the big 50, or oops was it 21? Yeah, so anyhoo... she wanted to stop at this joint and so we made the trip. The show was good, the drinks not strong and actually not that great, but heck we're here for the entertainment. If you're celebrating a birthday or special event come and visit Darcelle and the entertainment. Good fun! read more

Classic old school drag Darcelle was an amazing person and preformer, and her family here is ready to carry the torch. This is old school drag, this isn't rupaul's drag race. Everyone who works here has always been kind and pleasant. The food is average fried bar fare, reasonably priced. Drinks are good and not too pricey. I love Tuesday nights, features some newer preformers, only $5 cover One of the best drag spaces in the US, especially because they celebrate preformers of a certain age Always have a great time here read more

Made a reservation for myself and 4 girlfriends for the early Saturday show and had the best time! We were greeted at the door by Michael; when he learned it was my bday he said "Come See me after the show and I'll tell you where to go next!" (We did, and danced our toes off at the Rainbow Room around the corner.) We were then escorted to our seats by Mitchell, who performed a "Your Song" lip synch that made me cry... in a good way! I love that song, and I love drag- what can I say? Our seats were FRONT ROW. Technically we were tucked in at the foot of the stage, so that was a unique perspective! Our servers were quick and friendly- we just had cocktails, no food. The show itself was legendary! Seeing 90 year old Darcelle do her thang was epic, and so important. Think about her time, and what it was like for her when she started doing drag- not the fun bday parties and bachelorettes of today... and without people like her, things would be a lot less fun, funny and fabulous! It's HERSTORY people. Get into it! read more

Unexpectedly delightful! This hidden gem was the highlight of my most recent trip to Portland. From the moment we arrived, staff and performers made our group feel at home. The drinks and snack were wonderful (and strong). The show was so fun... the performers were very interactive with the audience. At the conclusion of the show, they spent a generous amount of time chatting with guests and taking photos. I loved it! 5-stars across the board! I can't wait to return! read more

Darcelle XV - The incredible cast!! - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My grandmother and I finished a two week road trip with an over-night in Portland and we were really surprised and excited to see that Darcelle's was still offering shows. I was a little nervous at first, but as soon as I walked inside It was obvious this was going to be amazing! We were greeted and treated respectfully and had our own socially distanced table. We wore masks the entire time unless to sip our drinks. The show itself was incredible and wow, Darcelle is so witty and had everyone laughing until they cried. The queens here have talent and I can't thank them enough for shedding some glittery light during this time. Highly recommend! read more

Darcelle XV - Gorgeous!!!! - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great time in the evening or for Sunday brunch. The brunch is awesome, the food is mediocre, but you don't go for the food. It's only $25 per person for the meal and show, and there are many drink specials for only $5 each. A real bargain these days. It's a great deal. One suggestion, get rid of the pre-made McDonald's style hash brown and crisp the bacon. Floppy bacon is just nasty. But the show never disappoints and the staff is fantastic! I love this place and the queens. It's a guaranteed great time. read more

With a few rare exceptions, this is a below average drag show. Lasting about 90 minutes, I would have walked out of the show if I wasn't there with friends. If you could imagine a drag show in the 1980s and 1990s, this would be it. The drag style, a lot of the songs, and overall ambience are definitely a throwback of that period. I respect that Darcelle is a community icon, but she needs to make room for younger performers and more updated performances. With a $20 cover, plus paying for food, drinks, and tips, I don't think this place is worth it. read more

I had been told by everyone that we had to go when we were in Portland. I am so happy we did. Darcelle and the show have made me so proud to be part of the LGBTQIA+ community. It'a dynamic seeing the show and watching these amazing queens who represent such a cool art form. I will come back whenever I'm in town and continue to tell people to go there. Also, the drinks and great and strong! read more

I visited with a group of girls for a friends bachelorette party and was super excited as I'd been wanting to go to a drag show for years. We were seated in the first two rows which was awesome! They had a menu with drink and food options. I started off with a nonalcoholic strawberry piña colada which was DELICIOUS. A few others in my group chose their alcoholic piña coladas and omg, they were strong. Unfortunately our server didn't return until over halfway through the show which was a huge bummer because my group was hungry and hoping to order a few appetizers and another round of drinks. He was present, just not with our group which was pretty disappointing. The show, on the other hand, was great. They have an ATM available to take cash out to tip the queens should you so desire. I think everyone in our group had a ton of fun and loved the song selections. They did pick on people in the audience for birthdays and other special occasions (like bachelorette parties) which I thought made it even more special. I'd highly recommend. I think it's awesome that we got to witness a little piece of history, being that Darcell XV is the world's oldest performing drag queen! Make sure to make reservations and take cash out before the show to avoid the $3 ATM fee read more

Had an amazing and memorable night. The staff were all friendly and attentive. The security at the door was very nice and have a sense of humour. We had a nice chat and it was very kind of him to tell was where not to go during the night. Nice decor and cute space. Women's restroom on the left and men's on the right. The restroom are generally clean and no funky smell. Small but intimate space and stage. Fills up a good amount of people, not too much but not too little. They have some food and drinks, and they were delicious. The chef came up to say hello when Darcelle Xv introduced all the staff. Lovely and considerate, and everyone were very open-minded. Very reasonable entrance fee and spectacular show. All the drag queens were gorgeous. Darcelle Xv is sweet and hilarious! He roasted a couple of people, I was put on the spotlight for a bit, we all sang happy birthday to the birthday people, and congratulation the married ones and the ones who are engage and soon to be married. Darcelle is 91 years one and the oldest working drag in the world (Guinness World record), and this place have been opened for 55 years now. My favourites would have to be Bebe Ray and Syra St. James. Highly recommend and would definitely come back some day. If you haven't been, this is a sign. You're missing out! read more

What an experience! My friend and I came here one night this past week and had so much fun! Darcelle and company were very friendly and welcoming. The show was very charming. We didn't eat here but the drinks were good. When the show ends, you are quickly ushered out. We were having so much fun that we would have stayed and had more drinks if we had had the option. We absolutely look forward to returning to Darcelle's again in the future. read more

First I'd like to say that I completely respect the historic value of this place. And I speak from my experience of attending the drag brunch recently. I was really hoping for a much better show honestly. The food was good. The service and staff were very friendly. But the show overall was lacking. The host and Miss Gay Oregon outshined the others by a long shot. The cast could definitely use a show director perhaps? read more

My mother wanted to come to Darcelle's for her 71st birthday. She had been to see him 30-some years ago, and wanted to go again because she loved it so much. I wanted to see it because Darcelle is 86 years old, in the Guiness World Records for being the oldest drag queen, and simply a chance to experience history, not to mention one hell of a show. If you've never been, I highly recommend you go! You won't be disappointed. It's something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. My brother and I took her last night. We missed the 8pm show, thinking it started at 8:30. Once you go in, you can't go back out. It's an all or nothing kind of thing, which is fine. It simply meant we had to wait for the show at 10:30pm. While we were waiting, Darcelle came out and took pictures with the crowd. They wouldn't take any with phones because they sold the ones they took for you for $15. Of course, we bought one. It was actually a really good pic. I was very happy we did this and purchased it. My brother went and talked to the security guy (I didn't get his name, but he was an older guy) about my mom. She's dying of cancer, not steady on her feet, and really needed to go in first so that she wasn't on her feet long enough to fall and wouldn't be tripped by others walking in. They said they couldn't make any promises to be accommodating, but to line up at the front door around 10, and they would do their best. So basically we were told to cut in line. Lol. From everything I had read in previous reviews, I wasn't expecting much in terms of being accommodating to my mother. Well, I was certainly wrong! They proved me wrong ALL night! They got her in first, and we were seated exactly where we wanted to be. We had Leo as our server. My brother recognized him from the last time him and his better half were there, and Leo actually recognized him as well. So that was kind of nice. I knew about the two drink minimum, but I was also the one designated to drive. This was made clear to Leo from the start. I'm not drinking and driving. I had wine with dinner, but that was where I drew the line. He was more than fine with that. I had read in previous reviews that the servers can be super rude about stuff like that. Which wasn't the case with us. Leo offers me water, soda, virgin drinks, anything I wanted, basically. They have this hilarious leg cup thing, as a souvenir. Of course, we got that for my mother with the drink of her choice. We watched the show, and it was absolutely wonderful! I loved it. Darcelle talks to the audience, asking about birthdays, brides to be, and if anyone is from out of town. Mom stood up for the birthday portion. It was entertaining and hilarious. The apparent big thing in the show is Darcelle's rendition of Rhinestone Cowboy, where he comes out in the chaps with his ass hanging out. It was full of surprises! I loved the ones who played Liza and Adele. Those were my favorites. Mom's favorite was the guy who did Prince and the transvestite from Rocky Horror Picture Show. After the second show on Friday and Saturday nights, they have the Men of Darcelle. They come around in the crowd and dance with you. I had one come up to me as I was coming back from the bathroom and chat with me about mom. He wanted to take her up on stage and dance for her. I was initially hesitant because she's so unsteady on her feet and prone to falling. He listened to my concerns and said they would be gentle with her. So I decided to ask my brother his opinion, and we ended up doing that and paying for her to do it. As promised, they were more than accommodating to her. I walked her around to the stage, with one of the strippers behind, holding on to mom with me. I watched multiple women before mom go up, and they got one single dancer and it lasted for one single song. Mom got 3 songs, and every single dancer up there with her! I mean, they went all out. I don't know if my brother told Nick a little of the backstory about mom and why we were there, but they went so far above and beyond to make it perfect for her. I can't say enough good things about it. By the time it was over, there wasn't a dry eye in the building. It was that special. As we were walking out, I stopped to chat with the security guy again, and I told him that this was very likely the last birthday my brother and I would have with mom, and they made it beyond special, and how much I appreciated that. The group we were sitting with in our row and in front of us at the stage joined in, handing mom dollar bills for the strippers, cheering her on when she went up, and they took a bunch of pics for us too. We exchanged info so we could share them when it was over, and I got a bunch of pics myself. The entire thing made for one hell of a night. Which is what it's all about. Memories. Would I return? Absolutely! It's definitely worth taking the time to go and see. I can't say enough good things about my experience here. Review 66 of 2017. read more

If you're into drag culture and you're visiting Portland, you have to make a trip to Darcelle XV! She is the oldest (known) drag queen and has been doing this show since the late 50's. Being in the queer community, it feels like such a sacred space to be in, because Darcelle has remained a constant in the drag community through all the monumental moments in gay history. The show is crowded, there's a lot of bachelorette party types there as with most drag shows these days, but it's still fun! The queens are all incredible, the drinks are boozy and affordable, and the seats are not too uncomfortable. It is a different seat layout than many drag bars, it's more theater style with small table situated throughout the rows. I'm big bodied and it was perfectly comfortable. Don't forget your $ones$!!!! read more

Darcelle XV - Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

REVIEWER # 92 I love me a great Drag show and Darcelle XV totally met my expectations! When planning my trip to Portland I definitely planned to see a drag show and have me a good laugh. I did my research and found this place. The reviews during the time weren't the best but I still went for the experience. I made reservations by phone with no problem. There was a lovely person on the phone that gave me the details on what to do and what to expect. I got the whole run down on dinner and drinks and especially the tip to: arrive early. Quick fact: Did you know that Darcelle is the oldest drag queen around and even though her age really shows she puts on a good show for a good cause. 87 and still performing. The show itself lasted about 1.5 hours with a special surprise after midnight that I recommend sticking around for.Once I arrived on Saturday night the line was SUPER long outside. I got out of my Uber and approached the front and seen that Darcelle was walking the line giving people the option to take photos with her before they walked in! I took my picture with Darcelle, if you want a copy its $5, no pressure to buy though and began to walk in. Seats are, "first come first serve" so get there early if you want a good seat. I planned to sit in the middle but on the last seat in the row as I read from reviews that you get more attention if you either sit at the bar or on the outer seats (definitely follow the tip, you would have a way better time). The performers here put on a fabulous show! Full of great laughs and sexy men! What more could you ask for? I truly enjoyed the male strippers!...(HUH?) Yess! You heard me right, they have male strippers that perform on the weeks at Midnight so if you are into that sort of thing, make sure to get to the door early to ensure seating. I actually did the 10PM show and then stayed till Midnight to get the whole, "Adult only" experience. There is a cover fee to get in but they do accept debit/credit and cash. Drinks are decently priced and delicious. If you get seated next to the stage or runway, I recommend having some $1 bills ready :) They love getting tipped for their performances. There is a 2 drink minimum per person, but go with the flow, it's not expensive to get in, $15 on a Thursday night. There is some parking next door $5, may get busy on weekends though. The ladies do an amazing job putting on a great show! The show was great and entertaining and I will certainly recommend everyone to watch this show when they come to Portland. They will also let you take all the still pics you want but no video. Because as Darcelle says, show your friends because they won't believe you were here. read more

Came here with some friends for an evening out, the staff was super friendly and accommodating. I was late and my friends had pre-paid for me, as I showed up they remembered me and sat me down with them right away. The server was quick to get my drink order. The actual performance was a ton on fun and they were all very interactive with the audience and had great humor. This was a great show for a ladies night out. The show itself and food/drinks were all reasonable priced and I felt I had gotten a good value. I would for sure attend again. read more

Darcelle XV in Portland, Oregon, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. Darcelle XV Showplace is one of only two known drag clubs open prior to 1970 in the United States with an owner who performed (and is still performing!) as part of the company. This is a MUST SEE SHOW in Portland! Darcelle is still doing her thing and can still make a crowd laugh. Not to be outdone, Poison Waters (the co-hostess) will leave you with a sore face (from smiling!) She knows how to work a crowd for sure. Food is elevated bar food and drinks are strong and worth every penny. Don't miss out, call and make a reservation today! read more

As a Portland native, I've gone many times to the evening shows that happen on Tues/Fri/Sat and enjoyed myself. But Sunday was the first time I've done their brunch. The food plate was good, the staff incredible, and a show with multiple performers and costume changes. Glad I made reservations, since this usually sells out. read more

Had a fantastic time at Darcelle's with my family!!! If your gonna go then just put your attitude and pre-conceived notions aside. Mitchel is the very best personality in the place and puts on a great show, the crowd really gets into the fun and you simply won't stop having a great time from start to stop. And what can be said about Darcelle except for what an Icon and Diva!!! read more

A few friends and I went on Tuesday night for their Rising Star performance (basically an open mic). The cover was only $5 and the show was a little over 2 hours. It was a great time!

I think everyone should go to Darcelle's at least once. It's one of those Portland things you just have to do. I dragged hubby there with several of my girlfriend's for someone's birthday party, and he really really did not want to go. But he laughed his ass off. We all did. Yes, it's expensive, yes people are annoying, and yes the line is long, etc. etc. All the complaints are valid. But really, there is no one like Darcelle and he is a pillar of Portland. I think you should get your butt in there while he's still able to do what he does. It made me blush, which made husband laugh even harder, but it was super fun. read more

This place is friggin' AMAZING. I took my adult (duhhh) daughter here and we had the most amazing time. Darcelle is LEGEND and she surrounds herself with legends in the making. If you enjoy good entertainment (notice I didn't say wholesome ;) haha) please do yourself a favor and check this place out. Even my chicken sandwich was delicious - which was a very pleasant surprise. SO MUCH FUN!! read more

Three stars for Darcelle, zero stars for everyone else. It's not bad, not really, and definitely a Portland staple that you should experience once. But once is enough. A group of us (7 girls) went for a friend's birthday. We made a reservation and were one of the last ones to be sat, so we were in a booth at the back of the house. The view was fine from there, although we had to move to the rows of chairs up front when the male 'strippers' came out. The service was atrocious. We'd asked for waters and instead of bringing us complementary glasses of water, we were brought bottles and charged $2 a pop for them. Rude! Our server messed up our bill at the end as well - after we'd collected cash from everyone for our one round of drinks, he brought the bill back with a balance of $53. What?! I think someone just ended up paying it because they didn't want to deal with the hassle of sorting it out. The drag show was fun. Darcelle is what - 83 now? And still sassy as ever. It was high energy and funny, and we had a good time dancing around in our seats. The male "stripper" show left something to be desired, though. (I know, I'm criticizing male strippers on Yelp - oh where oh where has my class gone?!) It was... just okay. Maybe I'm a little resentful that I didn't get someone to shake their tailfeather in my face - after all, if I'm doing this I might as well do it right, right? Well, no such luck. Overall, not worth the $20 cover charge plus overpriced drinks and mandatory water charge. Bring a flask! read more

I've been several times & always enjoy the show! The only thing I would encourage would be some updated music. The crowds coming in aren't all over 40/50, & some more upbeat - up to date - music would serve the ladies well! They've got talent, they can totally pull it off!! read more

We went here last Friday night. The group we were with made reservations, so there was minimal waiting, etc. The only thing I didn't know is our group contained two birthday girls in it. So, where do the birthday girls want to sit you might ask, right on the edge of the stage. Well, as you might have guessed from my last review, loud noise, etc., not for me. I forgot my ear plugs and you are right up front so it's not good on your ears and since I have to hear for a living, a great deal of the time was spent putting napkins (not from the aforementioned dinner place) in my ears to avoid long term damage. The show was great and entertaining. A small amount of being picked on because you were in the front row, but they eased up on me when they could see it was becoming irritating. They will sell you pictures that you take as you enter for $5 a piece. It might be worth it to commemorate the event. They will also let you take all the still pics you want but no video.
