Skip to main content1001 SE Morrison St., 239-7639, holocene.org. 8:30 pm-close Wednesday-Thursday and Saturday, 5 pm-close Friday, hours vary Sunday-Tuesday.
Holocene, keeper of the indie and artsy flame in its
district of Morrison Street, is now also Southeast's most bangin' club
(a low bar, but one it clears like Fosbury), with its Booty Bassment
meat market and rammed Body Party indie-dancehall-soul DJ night almost
matched, in pure makeout potential, with the indie-folk live bands
attracting the quieter sorts who shift their heels slowly together from
across the room until they touch. Marvel at some of Portland's only
truly efficient bartenders, who serve a ridiculously packed bar with
remarkable speed. For a cheap start to your weekend, come in for the
weekly Friday happy hour for occasional free snacks, and low-cost
cocktail specials.
Happy hour: 5-8 pm Friday. Food and drink specials vary.
Entertainment: DJs of the bumpin' stripe, bands of the exotic and indie stripe.
