Portland · Nightlife

3939 N Mississippi Ave, owned and run by musicians, booking touring indie, folk, electronic, metal, jazz and comedy. Bar Bar next door does burgers and beer 11am–2am every day including holidays, so you can eat and drink without leaving the block.

McMenamins' historic ballroom on West Burnside, part of a cluster that includes Lola's Room downstairs, Ringler's Pub and the Crystal Hotel across the street. Mid-size touring bookings — check which of the three rooms your ticket is actually for.

1300 SE Stark Street, a concert hall built into the 1906 Washington High School auditorium and open since 2015. The Roof Deck runs noon till late seven days a week, weather permitting, 21+ after 6pm — and you do not need a show ticket to use it.

1124 SW Alder St, a membership bar built around a large spirits collection, 21+ throughout. Non-members get in with a one-time Hall Pass reservation rather than by queueing. Tuesday to Thursday 4–10pm, Friday and Saturday 4–11pm, Sunday 4–9pm; the Green Room below is a separate space.

1001 SE Morrison Street — a club rather than a listening room, running dance nights, DJ sets, drag and touring acts. Programming swings from emo nights to cumbia to Japanese city pop; some events are all-ages, some 21+, so read the listing.
