Back Stage Bar is a bar and restaurant operated by McMenamins in Portland, Oregon.
Description
Back Stage Bar is located behind Bagdad Theatre in Southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood. The interior has billiard tables, [1] vaulted ceilings, [2] three-story oriental rugs, and a sign from the Jockey Club, a defunct dive bar along North Killingsworth. [3] Portland Monthly says, "If you're not quite ready to run the table, odds are you'll dig the mellow scene at Back Stage Bar, where clusters of cue-wielding Hawthorne hipsters are all in good, groovy moods." [4]
History
In 2017, the 30-foot (9.1 m) long, [5] 19th-century bar previously used at the Lotus Cafe was installed at Back Stage. [2] [6]
Reception
In 2014, Samantha Bakall included Back Stage Bar in The Oregonian's list of "Portland's 10 best bars for games". [7] The newspaper also included Back Stage Bar in a list of the city's 100 best bars. [8]
