Mono Space is a social listening gallery with a beautiful network…read more What is a social listening gallery? It is a variation on a listening bar, with seating, an exotic sound system, a network of music selectors, and a network of listeners, you. People stand, there are a few couches, riser platforms with cushions and soft stadium seats, and a soft lounge area in front with pillows in sizes. Many small conversation circles formed in front. The raw warehouse room, brick walls and ceiling, is painted out white, white curtains, and a new maple engineered floor. Plants. If you like, there are even cubbies to shed shoes. They have a bar with water and tea. No alcohol. They have a unique hand built sound system. It is a Devon Turnbull of which about 5 are open to the public in the world. They played it at a low medium volume that allowed quiet conversations. Their network includes Chess Club Books and Passenger Seat Records with tables at the event. They have an event schedule, a few sessions a month at this writing. The crowd was lovely, happy to be there, chatting quietly, no one was showing off or trying to stand out. Young to old. Many groups of friends. Daytime vibe. Not a club vibe. Not flirty. Just people being normal. Like an art gallery, except it's a listening gallery. When they have events, the door to the street is locked, they send someone to let you in. The staff I met were excited about the project and gracious. I heard they were requesting no pictures. That's a natural courtesy in a private space filled with people. So I'm only posting outside. They have inside pictures without people on their socials. Check their web and socials for the event schedule.

If you want an authentic and iconic Portland experience, look no further than Darcelle XV! They are…read morethe oldest drag bar in the country, and they have their craft honed to perfection. The production value alone is enough to write a review about. This is no pop-up drag show in some bar, this is a full-on production with seasoned and dedicated queens. We are talking professional sound, multiple lighting engineers, and a legit stage with all of the theatrical bells and whistles. The walls are covered with portraits of all the queens who have graced the building over the years. It's the type of place where you can just FEEL the history. You can tell it is clearly a very special and well-loved place. Have an occasion coming up? Darcelle's is a fabulous place to celebrate a birthday, wedding, divorce, anything! They have seated drag shows Friday and Saturday nights (followed by the men of Darcelle's strip show!), and a drag brunch show on Sundays (only $32 for breakfast AND a show!). On Tuesday nights they do an open call drag competition and it's only $5 to get in and they have $7 drink and food specials all night. You cannot beat that deal...especially being downtown! As someone who works weekends in the entertainment industry, it is amazing to have something fun and affordable to do on a Tuesday night. Do not miss this experience!
