Best of Portland
45 East
Don’t let the top-notch sound and state-of-the-art production fool you—this club’s roots are firmly planted in the underground. Around you, exposed brick and industrial fittings from decades past pay homage to the venue’s rich history, contrasting brilliantly with the club’s modern, cutting-edge gear. Below you, a spacious dance floor guarantees you impeccable, crisp sound from every angle. If kicking back in comfort is more your style, we’ve got you covered. 45 East’s VIP area offers the best of both worlds: an unbeatable view of the stage and plenty of personal space—not to mention superior hospitality, compliments of our VIP servers. Need a smoke or some fresh air? Head upstairs to our covered balcony, complete with a view of the striking downtown city skyline. If you’re looking for a change of pace, JADE nightclub is your answer. Located on the second floor of 45 East, JADE brings a large second bar, DJ booth, and dance floor to the table. DJs spin house, techno, and hip hop--and with tons of open seating it's a great place to chill out with friends and soak up the cutting edge vibes.

Located in the the old Best Auto Parts warehouse on the corner of SE 10th and Morrison, Holocene is a 5000sf, 312-person venue with soaring white walls, 25′ ceilings, spindly bow-trusses, and a metric ton of hand-built modern detail.
