The Lift Off Lounge

Portland’s Best Bars and Cafes That Play Vinyl Records | Eater Portland

"Lift Off Lounge offers mid-century charm on a stretch of Sandy Boulevard marked by dive bars of the last century and the gentrifying influences of this one. From the speckled linoleum tiles to the aerodynamic brass light fixtures, everything here seems poised to soar into the stratosphere at a moment’s notice. Lift Off has one of the last fully operational (and free) 45 jukeboxes in town, a magnificent Seeburg Selectomatic with a playlist full of warbling country ballads and rock and roll classics. It’s not all throwbacks though, as the Instagrammable wall murals and inventive cocktail menu speak to the vibrancy of the current era." - Ben Coleman
