BarFly's Review of Langano Lounge
If the bar menu's $4 Ethiopian Chili Dog isn't enough to tempt passers-by, then the promise of a guaranteed free table and oft well-heeled patrons/bartenders should be. Most nights, though, it seems like our own dimly-lit basement bar with private djs, private stash of board games for quiet drunken nights in, and two private pinball machines discreetly located in the back smoking-room. Upon reflection, actually, best avoided. Shoo!
Hours: 4pm-2am daily
Mondays: Trivia. Tuedays: Stitch and Bitch. Wednedays: Men's Night. Thursdays: You Be the DJ.
I read the review that states that this is a club better left avoided and I'm just inclined to disagree. Okay, sure, caveat: this isn't your get-drunk-make the scene-get chicks-hip sort of place, but for a quieter more laid-bak place to just hang out and chill with occasionally great music from the private DJ's and local bands...I think this place is PDX's best kept secret. Not a lot of craziness, just chill. Oh, did I mention that the Ethiopian food here is great, too. Check it out....

Pilsener was $4.50. I had just been paid in cheesesteak for doing some comedy elsewhere so I didn't try the Ethiopian fare from Jarra's but I will in the future.
This isn't the place for a drunken pub crawl but for a quieter night out it would be nice.
