About
Walking into Holocene, you'll find a venue that shifts between nightclub, event space, and full bar depending on the night. It's known for hosting indie bands, up-and-coming comedians, and regular queer dance parties in a friendly, inclusive atmosphere.
The crowd is a mix of queer and straight locals, and the space stays open late every night (doors at 7pm, closing between 1am and 2:30am depending on the day). Happy hour and a full bar are confirmed, and Thursday through Saturday are the busiest nights. One regular says they've felt safe and had fun here for eight years while being introduced to new music and art.
Holocene is located in Southeast Portland, a neighborhood known for its creative nightlife and arts scene.
