Poor management. The manager Paige who books the shows here was not at the venue. My friend's bands played a show here and they required having a cover charge and then had no one at the LOCKED door to let people in. On top of that, they agreed to pay the bands a certain amount then ignored their calls until they paid them a whopping $13, days later. They drove 5 hours to be treated with such disrespect. Other bands that were to play here in the future have now cancelled their shows.

Place was very laid back and good atmosphere. Cheers to providing a space for young talented musicians in Porland!

Pride friendly and they hold lgbtq events. They have a tent where you can be outside. A little small in the bar area where you get drinks but over all good.

Intimate venue where you really get to experience the artist(s). Essential if you go to Portland. Pop in get a drink, and listen to some live music. Very fun.

The strip pop up was fun! The drinks are not strong just sugary, I’m a lightweight, had three and felt nothing :( the pop up would have been more fun if half the room wasn’t sober

Welcoming environment with open jams every Monday night! (meaning if you buy a beer, you can use their gear (guitars, drums, bass, keys, etc.) and jam out with others) I only watched, was a joy

I came here to see a friend's band perform, and this is without a doubt the worst venue I've ever been to. The music venue side is extremely small, literally about the size of my living room, and consequently accommodates a very small audience with standing room only. Very annoyingly, there is a red laser rotating beacon mounted on the ceiling, which seems to sear your retinas regardless of where you are in the place. The biggest problem is with the sound pressure level. The sound person keeps the levels extremely high, 112 decibels according to my phone, standing beside the stage, and that is just ridiculous for that tiny of a venue.

Literally one of the best places I have ever been. They flow with the music, even though each instrument played was a single individual, wether stringed, horn, mic or drum, they all were phenomenal. And I definitely plan on returning to sit on the carpet and again feel The beat and combined rhythm of their souls. Thank you for phenomenal moments, they only last until you're gone. So cherish every moment like I did with this extremely euphoric place. Thank you

Really fun venue, we played a show here tonight and the sound guy was rad, as we're the other bands we're awesome. I great place to see and/or play a show. The house has tons of equipment too, which is really helpful and it's a smaller venue so the house equipment is pretty much adequate for any act to fit the room. The dude very much abides!

Perfect place to abide for a while. Fully equipped for unplanned musical conversations and regular conversations alike. Kind and open minded staff.
