My Father's Place is the 1978 Buckman dive in the 1892 New Logus Block on SE Grand, a National-Register building that serves breakfast all day, plays pinball, and pours until 02:30.
Tip: Open from 07:00 every day including holidays; the kitchen serves breakfast through close, so post-show late food is the play.
Address: 523 SE Grand Ave, Portland, OR 97214
Star Bar is the Buckman rock-and-roll dive on SE Morrison with a strong jukebox, Guns N' Roses pinball, a Reuben crowd swears by and pours that go to 02:00 on Friday and Saturday.
Tip: Cash-friendly, late kitchen on weekends; the jukebox is loud and the pinball line stays moving past midnight.
Aalto Lounge is the mid-century-modern neighborhood bar on SE Belmont since 2000, named for the Finnish designer Alvar Aalto, with happy-hour pricing through to close and a steady late shift.
Tip: Kitchen runs through the night; happy hour cocktails are a giveaway most evenings, and weekend close pushes to midnight.
Holocene sits in a former auto-parts warehouse on SE 10th and Morrison, with 25-foot ceilings, white walls and a sound system tuned to the kind of minimal techno that took root in Berlin.
Tip: Weekend nights start at 21:00 and most parties run to 02:00; ticketed events sell out, so grab in advance rather than chancing the door.
45 East is the Central Eastside warehouse where Portland sees its biggest touring EDM names, with a main floor for headliner sets and an upstairs Jade Room for techno and ambient.
Tip: 21 and over, doors usually 22:00 on Friday and Saturday; check the calendar for the Jade Room upstairs which programs separately from the main floor.
Cassidy's is the 1979 downtown American grill on SW Washington at the edge of the Pearl, the place that posts a 02:00 close every single night with a full kitchen and a bar to match.
