Sound here was pretty top notch. Stood or sat all over the venue between the two nights and each spot was great for different reasons. Sitting in the chairs watching the closing band Old Man Gloom felt like I was experiencing them in an imax theater. I'd definitely fly back up to see a band here in the future.

I didn't notice this at first, but I liked how there is a seating option above (basically a mezzanine), but my friends and I decided to stay on the floor level. We caught the Jack Van Cleaf JVC tour which I was super excited about, and his performance was perfect, definitely check his music out! It wasn't a packed show, so the room felt pretty spacious with a good amount of personal space. Staff were friendly as well, and they have a water tap and restoom inside if you need it.

I definitely recommend stopping in here for a drink and some chill vibes.

Wow, we are late to the Gilded Raccoon chill ambience, eclectic yet classy decor and wonderful wine…read morelist. Tons of French bubs, Italian reds and even Japanese whiskey and cocktails. Sliding door opens into Backyard Social which is also enjoyable spot. Light bites at GR to pair with your many vino sips. We'll be back! Highly recommend the Lambrusco and French bubbles.

Their menu offers wines by the glass as well as some small snacks that seem like they would pair well with wine. My husband and I just ordered a glass of wine each and sat out on the sidewalk. The service was great from all staff we encountered. This place has less selection for bottles than Mac Wine down the street. They do have more snack options though. I'd like to try some of the snacks next time we go here.

Never heard of any of these bands but they are immensely passionate and talented. Love their music! Even better to experience it in such an intimate venue surrounded by music lovers in real life. Will definitely keep this place on my radar. This is living. F*#&$ living behind screens!

Polaris is actually enjoyable to go to and the crowds aren't typically good. The bar is located in a spot that you don't hear talking throughout the show. Overall I enjoy this place. Bonus that it is located by awesome bars and restaurants that are open late.

The drink prices are a bit steep - $18 for a CAN of cheap wine. The performance tonight was so not worth the ticket price. We are jazz fans and this show was a tribute to Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong. The sax player and pianist were really great... but how do you have a tribute show to Armstrong without a horn?? The two singers, well I'll try to be kind. They just don't get the songs they are singing. Sinatra was a crooner.the gentleman trying to portray his music had no depth, or concept of this style. It was a low tide performance that should have been a hurricane of energy! The lady singing the jazz songs was a tier two performer. Not horrible, but Luke warm. It was a disappointing evening. I was a grateful it was only one hour long.

In typical Portland fashion, the Abbey is in an older neighborhood mixed in between homes and businesses. The building itself seems to have been recently renovated and looks wonderful! Everything is clean and seems newer, and the staff were friendly. We were given first timer information upon entry, although we probably could have figured things out on our own considering its size. There is a bar adjacent to the main area which made for easy access to pizza and drinks. They do have a limited menu but I appreciated the tasty Old Fashion I got, and my son enjoyed the pizza & candy. The acoustics were booming. It was loud downstairs! I overheard another patron saying people could go upstairs if the volume was too much where we were (I did not go upstairs). There is a little area for dancing and hanging out on both sides of the main seating area, as well as at the back of the room. I really liked it here! I hope I have other opportunities to return to the Abbey :)
