Loved it! Nothing else to say. It was good .
Crystal ballroom has a wonderful dance floor on ball bearings that gives you the sensation of floating. McMenamins drinks are notoriously overpriced, but that's to be expected at a corporate venue. While the chain is an Oregon treasure, they are still a corporation. That said, some of the best shows you'll find in the Portland area are at edgefield and if you've never been, it's a wonderful place to explore... Full of history, ghosts and adventure.
90s dance party was super fun.
Staff was friendly and nice.
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. The floor's bounce adds to the lively vibe, especially when the crowd is dancing. However, the floor can feel shaky, 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. Some concerts can get very loud, with decibel levels reaching over 115 db, which is harmful and can cause hearing impairment for many attendees. There have been concerns about too few chairs for older guests and disabled individuals, especially during long waits before the show starts. Despite these issues, it remains a wonderful venue for those looking to enjoy a concert, especially if they do not require special accommodations. The venue's historic charm and friendly atmosphere make it a memorable place to experience live music.
