Buckman · Portland, OR · 1305 SE 8th Ave, Portland, OR 97214
A bar and predominantly-vegan Mexican-leaning restaurant in Portland's Buckman neighborhood, open since January 2013, best known for a huge covered/fire-pit patio (Willamette Week 'Best Patio' winner in 2015 and 2018). Beyond its food-and-drink identity it books house, disco, and ghetto-house DJ nights, making it more of a hybrid social club than a dedicated dance club.
Getting there
What ravers say
The large majority of reviews (500+ on Yelp) praise the spacious, fire-pit patio, strong drink selection and happy hour, friendly/efficient staff even when busy, and standout vegan food like the 'wings.' These reviews center on the bar/restaurant experience rather than DJ nights specifically, but overall sentiment toward the venue is strongly positive.
