Originally a male strip club, it appears that is gearing more toward drag through the press and photos presented with Friday nights dedicated to male strippers.

Per https://queerintheworld.com/gay-portland-oregon-travel-guide/ Stag PDX – Portland’s premier male strip club offering Portland’s LGBT community a safe space to enjoy a fabulous combination of dancers, drag and strong cocktails in a stylish, rustic-chic setting! Check out their website for a jam-packed event line up including EDM nights, hip-hop, amateur nights and more. The sexy dancers are on stage every night at 9.30 pm, but most were straight in our experience and draw in a crowd of women. While they are hot, hot, hot – we prefer Stag for its dance parties. On Sundays Stag PDX also presents one of Portland’s longest-running drag brunch series which a different diva hosts each week alongside a cast of sickening entertainers.

Decked out like your favorite Instagram model's leather-clad bachelor pad, Stag could double as an aspiring lifestyle icon's dream hang. The deep textures of exposed brick walls, tufted leather couches, Victorian wallpaper and vintage filament bulbs aren't what one would expect to encounter upon entering one of the West Coast's only gay strip clubs, but Stag is equally as popular with the locals for Testify!, its Sunday drag brunch extravaganza that includes a buffet and up to 5 mimosas or bloody marys for $20. Wednesday is the popular amateur night if you want to show off your best Channing Tatum impression, and Throwback Thursday brings even more drag, drawing inspiration from the '80s to the aughts. Keep your energy up, your buzz going and your tips flowing with Stag's Red Bull-infused slushy cocktails—one of which is a dangerously close dupe of an Orange Julius. For those looking for little less of a show, you can always escape to the Stag Annex in the back for a quieter cocktail.
