3 editor picks in Portland.
3 listening bars in Portland our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Portland nightlife.
The 1905 is the Boise-neighborhood jazz room near N Mississippi that books touring and Portland jazz five nights a week, with a small kitchen and a quiet listening policy during sets.
TipTwo sets most show nights; reservations on Tock get the seated tables, walk-in usually means standing at the bar.
The Jack London Revue is the basement jazz room under the Rialto Poolroom on SW 4th, a speakeasy-style cellar with a full bar, four nights of programming and quiet sets.
TipThursday through Saturday at 19:00; the room is small, book ahead for headliner nights and arrive 30 minutes before the set.
MONO Space is the Pearl District high-fidelity listening gallery in a renovated NW 13th warehouse, a ticketed deep-listening room with a custom speaker system and no talking once the music starts.
TipOpen Saturdays 12:00-17:00 for free public gallery hours; ticketed listening sessions sell out, so check the calendar a week ahead.
