History
Rising like a phoenix from the dust of the previous establishment, Chaos Parlor, The Parlour gained new meaning from the simple addition of facial hair. With mustache on lip, and new life in its cockles, The Parlour strode forth to establish itself as the premier employee-owned music venue and purveyor of local goods. So it gathering the weird and the wise, idea-bright and lackluster alike to start anew. And so it began. With a note, knit and purl.
Specialties
The Parlour specializes in all-ages, live music and performances, rare and exotic books, and ethnobotanicals. We carry local and hand-crafted goods; knit caps and arm-warmers, jams and teas, and even mustache wax. We strive to promote and enhance the local and sustainable, and help ensure the success of Portland microeconomies. Our venue features the work of local artists, authors, and zinesters. Local microbrews on tap (or bottle), organic teas, and Stumptown coffee are always in stock. Musical performances range from soothing strings, to the furthest reaches of experimental electronic; from psych rock and jam, to solo acoustic and bluegrass. Every weekend highlights a taste of the diverse and wonderful.
