Editorial Review for Fez Ballroom – by Nancy Levenson
In Short
Funk, techno, improvisational, hip-hop--the types of music finding its way to the ears of Fez-goers have one thing in common--they make visitors want to shake their booty way past last call. The giddy moods of the patrons (which may or may not be related to the concentrated cocktails), combined with the low lighting and decadent, pillow-strewn seating are reason enough to get newcomers to broaden their club-hopping horizons.

Decent place, I love bollywood nights,also I went when battle of the drums was happening. I like this place because its cheap ,no dress requirements and also the Djs are posted on the dance floor instead of the stage so you get to observe how the djs spinn,and get to talk to them for advice if your into DJing..

The Fez is great in a lot of ways: The owners are super-cool to the random costumed Portland weirdness that goes on. (They don't mind when 300 santas show up and want in.) There is a medium sized dance floor on the third floor and a relaxed lounge on the second floor. Fridays is "Shut Up and Dance" with a $5 cover and some Saturdays they have Bhangra dancing. There does always seem to be goth clad kids but there are also a bunch of middle aged housewives out on the town and couple that are there to have a good time. Every time I go to the Fez, I have a good time.
Pros: Inexpensive for dancing, big coolers of water sitting around, good music
Cons: Stairs to get to the dance floor and out afterwards can be tricky
