Editorial Review for Ohm Night Club – by Anne Marie DiStefano

In Short
This large vault-like space lurks beneath the Burnside Bridge in Old Town. Brick archways give the room a a riverfront warehouse feeling. These days, live music and DJs get the place pulsing. It's a regular downtown stop for rockers, scenesters and ravers alike. The space boasts two bars, lounge-style conversation areas and a narrow courtyard out back with a meditation pool--a little pond with a Buddha statue.

User Reviews for Ohm Night Club

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

If you write poetry, rap or sing this is the scene for you. The one place in Portland where it feels like D.C. OR N.Y. Come listen or share! The poetry usually starts around 10 and goes till 1am. And the cover charge is 5.00 or free if you are performing a piece.

Pros: Spoken word and a jive band called The Black Notes

Cons: Sometimes a small crowd as if Portland doesnt have poets?

When you are looking for a great place to dance, mix and mingle, I highly recommend going their Fridays. The people are friendly and looking sharp, the music is trendy and the drinks are superb. They always have enough people staffed for quick service and parking is only a block away. The Dj's play Hip-hop, R&B, Mash-ups, Current Hits and occasionally take you back with some great tracks from the 80's and 90's. The downside is they do allow smoking and it can be a bit much, but the outdoor patio is a great way to refresh from all of that. All in all this is one of the best places to party in the city. You can let loose and let yourself be free. It's also conveniently located in Portland's historic entertainment district by the waterfront. Definitely a spot to put on your list for a club crawl or club hopping. The ohm has been around for along time and it will be around for many successful years to come.

Pros: Great People, Fun atmosphere, Great music

Cons: Smoking
