BarFly's Review of Hawthorne Theater

(formerly Conan's) Awkwardly assembled all-ages rock hall keeps the adults penned up in an abattoir-like rear bar (Logan's Run, anyone?), which cuts off the views and blows the acoustics for those of the drinking persuasion. Slow and snotty service doesn't exactly enhance the experience any, either.

I enjoyed the Furious and the Hand That Bleeds in November, but you do wanna layer your clothing as it was a bit cool.

There was no one in the "grownup" area, and all-ages area has no seating.

But - I notice a Lotta youngunz lined up for the weekend shows, so they must be doing something right.

I've felt no love when performing at Balcony Bar open mics in the front so I skip that now, but if you see someone you like listed on the bill I think it's worth checking out the Hawthorne. It's a groovy, old building.

This is the WORST venue in Portland!

Too bad it's still not Conan's. I hate the remodel. The place is COLD (really, no heat!), the layout is awkward for traffic flow. The service is OK. Last time I was there was this past winter. I probably will never set foot in there again.
