The Leftbank Annex in Portland is a gem of a venue, and it truly shone during the recent cheese and meat festival! From the moment | walked in, it was clear that the space was pertect for hosting an event of this scale and nature. The industrial-chic design, with its high ceilings and open floor plan, created a welcoming atmosphere that was both stylish and functional.
The layout allowed for an effortless flow of traffic between vendor tables, tasting stations, and lounge areas. It never felt crowded, despite the enthusiastic turnout, and there were plenty of cozy spots to sit and enjoy the delicious bites we picked up along the way. The natural light streaming through the large windows during the day made everything feel warm and inviting.
The festival itself made excellent use of the Annex's multi-level setup, with upstairs areas providing additional experiences and views of the bustling crowd below. It felt intimate yet spacious—a rare balance. The acoustics were great, allowing for live music to set the mood without being overwhelming.
All in all, The Leftbank Annex was the ideal host for the festival. Its unique charm and thoughtful design elevated the entire experience. I can't wait to attend another event here!
