McMenamins Crystal Ballroom is a historic venue known for its large size and bouncing floors, making it an exciting spot for concerts. The main floor can get warm, but the drinks are good and the bartenders are friendly. It is a great place to see well-known bands up close and have a memorable musical experience. The interior is one of the most beautiful in Portland, adding to the atmosphere. The crowds and staff contribute to a friendly and celebratory environment. However, the floor can feel shaky when the crowd dances, which might be unsettling for some. Accessibility for disabled people is limited, with restricted seating available. While staff are attentive to the needs of those with disabilities, there is a call for more accessible options. Overall, it is a wonderful venue for those looking to enjoy a concert, especially if they do not require special accommodations.
