Top Portland Night Clubs – Best Downtown Portland Clubs

Choosing the best Downtown Portland clubs are pretty subjective because it depends on what style of club you had in mind:  21+ clubs in Portland, underage clubs, Portland dance clubs, gay or straight clubs, luxe clubs, dive bars, or just any old place to relax and have a drink or two?

Some of the most popular Downtown Portland clubs include popular music venues like the Crystal Ballroom and Lola’s Room (music and dancing),  or the Roseland (for music shows).  The Beauty Bar is known to be a great dance club, too.  For jazz, it’s Jimmy Mak’s, and for Downtown karaoke, try  Voicebox Karaoke Lounge.   The Portland Oldtown/Chinatown area is chock full of clubs and bars, so you can also just head down there and try a few until you hit the one you love.

When choosing the best Downtown Portland clubs, first decide what mood you are in and what type of club you have in mind.  Next, read a couple reviews.  Finding the best Portland club or Portland bar is usually as simple as reading a few reviews online ( Yelp.com has a nice list), or by using the very handy Portland bar finder/club finder at  BarFlyMag.com .

The nice thing about going to clubs in Downtown Portland is that there are plenty of public transportation options (TriMet bus and MAX/Streetcar lines), and lots of cabs cruising through the area.
