Okay, it’s a dive, but it is weird and small so the interactions are interesting. I stop in regularly because it doesn’t have expensive booze, deafening music or hard-sell dancers. It’s easy…

The oddest stage I've seen (and I've been to Scarlet Lounge). The stage floor is maybe five feet below floor level, but with a step inside, so if a dancer stands on…

If you’re looking for divey, old Portland, titty bar charm, it’s tough to beat 82nd. It’s a small venue (just one stage) and it’s not exactly filled with amenities. But the drinks…
