"Owned and operated by local musicians, one of Portland’s most popular venues is definitely Mississippi Studios, which conveniently shares an entrance with Bar Bar, and a no-brainer for after-show festivities — Bar Bar’s deep-fried ravioli, juicy burgers and fries, plentiful plant-based options, and spacious patio appeal to just about everyone. Touring bands often flock to Mississippi Studios — in the coming months, bands like U.S. Girls and Dengue Fever will be making appearances — but local bands like Reptaliens also land onstage here." - Jenni Moore
