THE DEN

This is one of my favorite spots for EDM shows. It feels gritty (in a good way)! It's reminiscent of underground 90's warehouse parties. If you were partying during those days, you'll likely get a warm, fuzzy feeling of the (mostly) joyous days gone by. We're not old, we are seasoned, friend. If you love EDM and miss it as much as I did, get out, let your hair down, and dance your ass off, gen-x'ers! No one is judging you here, I can assure you ❤️ They get some great artists and have a water station for your hydration needs. Aside from that, the people (partons and staff) are kind and welcoming. This is the last show I went to a few weeks ago - Bukem and Rob Noble. I met Rob that night. He was a solid dude with great energy. These are the only 2 photos I got that night; I was too busy boogying. This place is unpretentious and just freaking awesome. You'll see!

Unique venue not far from downtown. The shows I have seen here have living painting, coat check-in service, N/A drinks.

I moved to this neck of the woods woods of the neck recently, and am a very happy Bear at the Den. 80s night was a blast and New Constellations was a supernova kind of night 🌙 highly highly recommend 👌

I've been to MANY different types of venues, both PNW & Colorado, and the Den is an outstanding venue. Between the sound system (incredible!), the visual displays, the friendly and engaged staff [security that actually really cares, how rare!], and the music... ya'll understood the assignment and have knocked it out of the park. We needed a place like this.

Incredibly versatile space that prioritizes patrons & bring artists & healers together. They are always switching it up.. sometimes feels clicky.. but probably because they are so loyal to the same artists.

My favorite place in Portland to visit for a soulful night of proper house music. Dj's Doc Martin, Mark Farina and Ramiro united for a birthday celebration 🎂

The venue itself was fine. Kind of a dive but for what it was, no complaints. We went to see CIRCLES AROUND THE SUN scheduled to start at 8pm. They didn’t start letting people in until 8:15, and the band didn’t start playing until after 9:30pm. No explanation or apology was given. We left after the break, the music wasn’t even that good. Wouldn’t trust this venue again to book good talent that knows how to manage a schedule

Have never felt safer at a rave. The Den's security both visible and integrated is top tier. On top of that, they provide ample space to take breathers and breaks. Will be returning.

You get a discount if you are BIPOC, have only been to the ecstatic dance here, nice venue with alot of space, friendly staff and nice vibe.

Awful customer service - I went to the new constellations show and they sold me a record that is completely distorted. I reached out to them and provided the video link below with a weeks time to respond and 0 response. I went ahead and disputed it with my bank. Either way, I'm getting my money back, they only bought themselves a bad review and lost a return customer. https://youtube.com/shorts/bEwN8wyS2yQ?si=ne3P6KMp64sNHhBJ

I've been to the Den a number of times and it's a very fun venue. However, a couple times I've been there and the sound system is horrifyingly loud. I've been going out and listening to electronic music since the 90's and literally spent my 20's on in or around stacks. You guys need to hire a sound person. I recently went to Doc Martin vs Mark Farina and literally could feel myself getting hearing damage. The sound was distorted, painful and basically almost * ruined their set Which was fire- from what I could tell through the wincing. I had to hide at the back after a while where conversely no speakers are set up an- equally unenjoyable situation. Basswitch was an equally painful experience.

So, this was an odd experience. I went to check out a dance social on Tuesday and this older hispanic lady at the front literally shewed me out of the building. Basically, i tried to ask her questions about the event and she was like, "you pay, no questions!" and then pointed to the door. Not the kind of welcome I'm used to, coming from the Dance scene in SoCal. I really wish that wasn't the case. I so badly wanted to enjoy the social dance scene in PDX, but so far, i'm a bit disappointed :/

We went to this newer venue a couple weeks ago for a wedding reception. I had no idea this place ever existed in this part of town but we love it!!! The Den is a fantastic event space that has multiple large rooms with modern amenities. The grand room is one of the best I've seen in town, the staff was friendly, and the bathrooms were clean. Looks like they have music events here too, will have to check that out one day.

Big space. Nice location next to the train tracks. Bathrooms kept clean. My one request: Clean your floors! Please.
