McMenamins Crystal Ballroom Concerts 2025

This is one of the best venues in Portland. We got married here on March 2, and the experience was incredible. Not only does McMenamins make the planning process super easy and straightforward, the day-of support is next level. The food was great and the drinks were delicious. And the reception! The lights, the sound, the bouncey floor… amazing. Having the light crew available for the ceremony was also great - I entered from the balcony staircase, and the spotlight made that moment magical. I would choose Crystal Ballroom for my wedding again every single time.

I have seen 3 concerts here in the past year now. Really great venue in a central city location. Unique layout, but I appreciate the division between drinking and non-drinking sections. The floor does have springs yes, but you feel them more when walking around than in the middle of a mosh pit. The highlight is definitely the staff who are always great, better policies than many other venues, and the decor inside the ballroom itself is really pretty!

Went to the PFF here... They did a great job of setting up the experience for everyone to enjoy as much music as possible ..two stages going, one right after the other ...seating for those that wanted or needed it and areas to stand and dance too. Great music! Found some new (to me) bands to follow. Great time!

Very intimate venue if you’re in the pit. The staff is great and they are very organized. There was no line cutting or any drama from people running in. Awesome venue overall.

We were lucky enough to see Floater and Three for Silver at the Crystal Ballroom in December. The venue is classy and nostalgic with a large open floor and balcony. There are 2 bars along the walls, and the beer is great. Everyone that works there is friendly and helpful. The place just has a great vibe and atmosphere. There is a parking garage across the street as well, which is nice. Record store below that and a pub on the 1st floor of the venue. Plenty of hotels within walking or short driving distance. Highly recommend.
