Turn turn turn. Best venue.
Florida room. For some reason I love this place. Veggie burger. Smoking outside zone is great.
Spielman bagels. Coffee and bagels. Important to support. Owned by/employs the best bands of Portland for past decade: Lox, Mope Grooves, Shop Regulars etc.
Spare Room is fantastic for bingo and karaoke and I miss the $5 lunch special (blt, fries, and orange slices!)

still haven't been there. I know they. have the occasional show. Would really like to book something there
1800benparrish Spare Room rules! My band has played there twice and it was a blast both times!
Randall I’ve put on a few shows. You have to bring mics and provide a sound person but they supply a door person and give you all the cash. Awesome deal if you have the right bill.
1800benparrish ask about the mystery shots!
I have a slew of Dive Bars I love in Portland. Most recently though I have been digging Sad Valley. They have been really cool and very sweet folks. Great happy hour prices and some cool pinball machines. When other bars are busy I seem to be able to get in there pretty quick. They are always showing some weirdo fucked up movies on the t.v. which is always kind of a hoot! They are now statring to book some DJ's so I will have to check that out.
Nathan Loud The one show I saw there was fun.
Spare Room karaoke with Rockin Raymond is a must.
Rockin Raymond is the best!
I've been going to Spare Room for 25 years and it has barely changed since then. They have shows every weekend and I still pop in fairly often for random cover bands or blues. Larry & Teri used to play weekly 20+ years ago and it was amazing.

Made it in there a couple of months ago for the first time. It was a Saturday night and we were the only ones there. I felt bad for them because the space is great and so was the staff. Maybe it was just an off night. For their sake, I hope the DJs start packing the place, but if it was packed I'd probably just grow to hate it.
I know many people hate on those dudes that convert all them old dive bars, but I still love Lay Low, Holman's, the Sandy Jug and Sandy Hut. But I rarely go to bars past happy hour these days and may hate some of these spots if I had to see who was crowding into them in the later hours.
Petey J. Cool yeah I’ve mainly been in Lay Low during the day but I really like it. Sandy Hut on a Friday night not so much, but that’s more about me
Lincoln and I are emerging from our snow cave tonight! If you've got cabin fever too, come on down. Also, don't be shy. We know a lot of the PDX people in this forum, but even if we don't, come say Hi!
7933481386067 is this a recurring third-satudays type deal? Would love to go, but can’t make it tonight!
