Queer-friendly bar with regular events such as drag shows, karaoke nights and live music.
"This 82nd Avenue live music destination also fits drag shows, comedy shows, and variety shows into its regular event rotation, and customers can tuck into bar standards like chicken strips or veggie burgers while taking in the nightly entertainment. Thursdays offer the wallet-friendly combo of free pool and all-day happy hour." - Thom Hilton, Eater Staff
"Misfits Bar & Lounge, located at 2530 Northeast 82nd Avenue, has transformed from a dive bar into a laidback queer hangout. It hosts a variety of performances, including drag and burlesque, and features a menu with bar staples like burgers and chicken strips. The bar, owned by David Elderton and Sophie Garibbo, aims to provide a space for underrepresented communities in entertainment. Despite facing homophobic backlash, Misfits continues to thrive and plans to host a Pride event." - Andrew Jankowski
"Misfits, a new LGBTQ+ bar and drag venue, has opened in East Portland." - Eater Staff
