The building that housed both businesses is now part of McMenamins Crystal Hotel. Silverado has been around for 35 years and was previously housed under gay male bathhouse Club Portland. “I have been through Silverado’s in my time,” commented Facebook user Stephen Regian on Silverado’s post. However, some of Silverado’s fans seem to be optimistic. Some long-running gay clubs, including The Escape, have permanently closed following announcements saying they would relocate. The post added Silverado is finalizing the contract for a new space, but an employee who did not want their name published said the club is still deciding between locations. However, the club’s Facebook page described Silverado’s difficulty in finding a new space, writing, “We even had one space ask us not to have dancers! I mean, come on.” Silverado hopes to open again in time for Pride Season in June. The club is currently seeking space in Northwest Portland and Old Town-Chinatown, near CC Slaughters, Old Town-Chinatown’s largest LGBTQ+ nightclub. Silverado has been looking to move for several years, but its current lease on SW 3rd Avenue ended before it could finalize a deal on a new home, another Facebook post detailed.
