There is a room on Barbur -
Ace of Spades - that usually has one or two 1/2 NLHE games. I have not been there in a while.
Address: 9220 SW Barbur Blvd Suite 104, Portland, OR 97219
Phone: (503) 244-4079

There is
Encore that is located downtown. I have not played there, but have visited. It's a large room and they have a huge tourney once a month or so. I've heard stories that the neighborhood is not very nice at night.
Address: 535 NW 16th Ave, Portland, OR 97209
Phone: (503) 206-8856

There is the
Final Table. It is way in the east part of town. The shopping center that it's in is rather run down, but there are a lot of stores in the area, so there is a lot of traffic and people. I hear they get really busy. I played there once and the dealers put me off so I didn't return.
Address: 2620 SE 122nd Ave, Portland, OR 97236

Aces Players Club changed management recently. I was told that they are nicer now and that there is a small game in the pub downstairs. Park in the neighborhood and walk. It's near other things and in a pretty nice area.
Address: 2443 SE Powell Blvd, Portland, OR 97202

Claudia's has regular small NLHE games (twenty five cent / fifty cent blinds) that are pretty fun. They have nightly tournaments. And they recently started a mix game / dealer's choice of various Omaha games on Sunday afternoons. Laid back and well run and well lit.
Address: 3006 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR 97214
Phone: (503) 232-1744

They are related to
Jack's that is downtown. I have been told about the PLO8 game that is there that gets pretty big.

Poker is legal here. The clubs charge a membership fee (usually $5 to $10 for the day) to cover their costs. Dealers are NOT paid and are volunteers who appreciate tips. Shoot out cash tourneys have different rules about when you can leave and such, so make sure to ask.
If you find yourself down south of Portland, there is a great place to play 3/6 O8 Full Kill.
Black Diamond is in Albany and is at exit 235 off I-5. Portland proper is at exit 300 off I-5.
