It was renovated and has been an inexpensive venue for up and coming bands etc. for at least 25 years now.

I seen some really good shows there. Funky enough to worry about the balcony swaying, but not enough to stay home. Already have my gateway drug, can’t wait to go there again.

Back in the 60s when my elder sibling lived a few blocks away.

Portland was a great place in the hippie days, I wonder what it's like there now.

I've been holding on to tickets rescheduled from last year, and hoping it doesn't get cancelled again!

Saw Dave Bromberg and his Band play a show there for his 50th birthday back in '95. Ended up at the Top of the East, across the street, and partied with Band members till closing.
