For the show I went to see, my VIP ticket said VIP seating and meet and greet. There was no VIP seating, so even though I paid more, I got nothing more outside of the meet and greet. The bathroom is decorated in all type of writing and graffiti. The front area of the theater smells like urine (the outside part, not inside). On the upside, the staff were friendly and the hot dogs were good. The show was great and even though Star theater isn't my favorite, I'd go again just to see this artist!

I will note that the seats are hard and narrow so it is not the most comfortable place for every type of body. The staff are excellent, bartenders are fast, and there are plenty of bathrooms.

I was at the water station drinking water and hear her come up behind me out of nowhere yelling "coming through! coming through!" with a keg over her head. Mumbled something as she passes me and then continues to the main bar area and proceeds to rip me and call me profanities in front of the other bartenders and patrons. Claims she told me to move "30 times" as she blows past me in 2 seconds lol. Total wack job. Other bartenders were nice.

It started as I was waiting in line and the security guy with the flat cap and the gross matted beard came out to have a look at how the line was progressing. He talked to someone else in an extremely condescending manner about something so trivial as a face mask. He then threw me the most disgusted, most repulsed look you could ever give someone. This man fully locked eyes with me and looked at me like I had leprosy. Then when I finally got the front of the line, they told me I couldn't bring my weed pens in. Fair enough but they explicitly told me I would have to restart all the way at the back of the line (a line I had waited in for over an hour in the freezing cold, and it was even longer now). Of course there's literally no information anywhere about what kinds of things you're allowed to bring with you, so you just have to guess, and if you guess wrong you gotta start all the way at the back of the line and miss the performers. Absolutely and utterly deplorable setup and the chauvinistic security makes It that much worse

My daughter has been getting into the Cure lately and so we went to see a Cure cover band called…read moreThe Lovecats. The opening band was a Depeche Mode cover band called Hiding from Love (lots of "love" in the air tonight). My daughter has been on restriction, but we took a break from it as tribute bands are my guilty pleasure. I used it as an excuse to dive deeper into both bands beforehand. I know most of the hits although not always by name. My daughter and Sarah went up front to dance at the show and we had fun. Something interesting i found out was that Personal Jesus by Depeche is not even in their top 2 songs on Spotify currently. The other two songs are hits that i've heard, and i understand Depeche Mode is not a one hit wonder, but i was shocked to find out their song Enjoy the Silence has twice as many plays as Personal Jesus. Personal Jesus in my experience has always been the stand out hit, even at the show the crowd loved that one the most. Also Personal Jesus was released first as b-side in 1989, and was later released on a studio album the following year. The other big hits on the studio album (Enjoy the Silence, Policy of Truth, and World in my Eyes) although very 80's sounding, were released in 1990, which i had forgotten. Weird, i think of them as 80's songs. Not only that, but Depeche Mode, I learned very recently, has multiple other great songs that sound like they are from the 80's but were released years or decades after the 80's ended. Last note: They have an album (at least on streaming and it's listed as a "single" even though the collection is 3 hours long) of remixes called Violator: The 12 Inch Singles, and although i generally dislike remixes there are quite a few good ones on there. Many of them could fit well in a movie score.

I'm an aisle girl. I will say parking around here is kind of hit or miss. But you can find parking like we, about a few blocks away from the theater We had seat tickets up in the balcony and because it's a smaller theater it was pretty decent seats in my opinion. The actual seats themselves are old and uncomfortable. Just wanted to note that if you have problems like me. We ordered some drinks from downstairs and prices were typical theater prices. They do have a full bar and cider and beer draft. Also have bathrooms upstairs. Overall, I'll probably be back to see another show

It was doing the typical Portland torrential rain when we got there and ended up parking in a public parking lot right next-door. It faces Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. so there really isn't anywhere to park unless you go to a street behind in the residential area and then walk all the way around the block. Upon entry, we quickly noticed the famous Portland airport carpet! If you know you know. The aesthetics in this place are wonderful. There are cute little random cactuses and different plants on the wall. The bar is beautiful and you can order just about anything you can think of there. They have a drink menu in on the other side, some foods and snacks. The food coming out of the kitchen looked pretty good, but we did not have anything to eat. We ordered a couple of cocktails and a couple of beers and they were wonderful. The bartender was so friendly and kind and fun. Had a really good time chatting with her. She told us a little bit about the place and the things they offered during the week. Their website will lay all of that out for you. We enjoyed the live DJ playing some great music, while we chatted with several people that we had just met. The environment was very friendly and fun! I'm not sure how often they do art shows, but it was really cool to see someone we knows art up on the wall. We will definitely return at some point.
