Buckman · Portland, OR · Portland, OR

club21+

A 21+ goth nightclub at 421 SE Grand Ave in Portland's Buckman neighborhood with a two-story layout — stage, bars, coffin-shaped booths, and a dance floor on each level — under red lighting and gothic decor that reviewers compare to a Berlin goth club more than a typical Portland bar. DJs and live acts cover darkwave, industrial, EBM, goth, post-punk, and synthpop, alongside an all-vegan food cart and occasional drag/live-music nights.

What ravers say

82/100

Reviewers consistently praise the immersive gothic theming, a diverse and welcoming but scene-intentional crowd, friendly staff, and reasonable drink prices. The main downside noted is that it gets very busy later in the evening, especially on weekends.
