We were very excited for a New years Eve Celebration at The Portland Club. It was advertised as a…read more"Studio 54" Disco themed party, with prizes and giveaways. It said to dress to impress for a disco, when we arrived we were greeted by a host that was there to check you off the list and make sure you paid your $120. Which covered some cocktails, cookies, fruit and finger sandwiches. The hosts stayed by the door and didn't really check to see how the party was going. There were a few streamers and balloons. No party favors or noise makers for midnight. A very small disco ball over the empty dance floor. (We thought we were early) The lights were never dimmed throughout the night so you couldn't see the disco lights. The DJ refused to play any music the guest requested for the Disco effect and got upset when asked. People complained and left by 10:30pm. The DJ was terrible and kept his head down and continued playing through the stroke of midnight with the few remaining guest counting down on their own, when he finally realized it he played some lame new year's celebration music too late. It definitely was not what they advertised at all. Sorry to say someone dropped the ball that night and it wasn't the new years ball. Maybe miscommunication or lack of planning? Hopefully next year will be better for those who do go back. Happy New Year .

There is a card room to play bridge, poker or cribbage. The basement has a 5 lane candle pin bowling alley. No bowling shoes required and you can reset your own lane as you desire. The upstairs is an open room that we enjoyed wonderful music that was provided by our hosts. There was a huge space for all the dancing. The front entrance was setup like a lounge with comfy couches and deep soft leather chairs. Our hosts held a BBQ and they provided a the delicious food. They even brought in a bartender who provided soda beer and a variety of mixed drinks. This was a great place to mingle and relax. What an awesome club!!

Coffee for me. After going through the whole venue we went to check out the food area also available to us but not needed. Never knew they had this cafeteria. Nice place for all types of venues whether work or personal event, check them out.

The descriptions to the items are well written and well conveys the story and the message behind the display.

Note that you aren't allowed to take food/beverages upstairs. There were a few displays around the cafe too. Staff was nice and friendly. Definitely recommended.

Whenever I travel, I like to take in a museum. Even though I had been to Portland several times…read morebefore, I had actually never been to the Portland Museum of Art - opting to visit other cultural sites in the city. However, since I had some time in my itinerary I decided to check PMA out during my most recent trip to Maine. PMA is split into four levels, and is mainly broken up by American art, European art, and modern art. You won't find many famous works here, however they did have a couple of pieces by Picasso, Monet, and Sargent. During my time there, they had a special exhibition displaying the works of Winslow Homer. One of the more noteworthy components of the museum are restorations of historic homes that are attached to the exhibition spaces. The museum isn't large, so it only took me about 90 minutes to get through it all (though I admittedly don't dawdle). My favorite part was their modern art section - modern art speaks to me so I enjoyed taking in their selection. The staff was friendly, and their gift shop had a decent selection of merch. Overall, I wouldn't necessarily call PMA a must-do in Portland. However, I think it's a good way to spend an afternoon, take in a little culture, and learn about some of the city's history.

There are so many pinball machines and other fun games. We didn't play any but I think they operate on quarters. There is a downstairs with other carnival type games. They offer a pizza/snack menu. There is a private area that can be rented for special events. It is a fun option, a bit different than movies, bowling or a board game spot. This is a 21+ venue - an adult Chuckie Cheese!
