“ This is one of the coolest bars/clubs in SE Portland. I've been to, and participated in, several shows here and they are always a good time. The bartenders are great people. The sound crew always puts out a huge effort to make sure the shows are enjoyable. The fries are amazing. Great spot. ”

“ Had such a fun time. Service was awesome, as expected cause duh ;) Seasonal drink list was cute and funny. I had a delicious apple brandy cider (I'll hold off on the clever name, it's not PG ;) The food menu was great, it's covers many cravings and isn't overwhelming, and prices are fair. All the food I spied on that came out looked delicious. We ordered the elote which was creamy and delicious. Will be back for dinner and a show next time. Love you Alana! And nice meeting you Landon! ”

“ Nice dive bar located on Hawthorne. They have plenty of seating, karaoke, pool tables, food and friendly staff. ”

“ Great service, beer selections, food and cozy intimate venue for live music. A great local bar with the best staff! ”

“ Stopped by for a drink and a quick bite on the way to somewhere else. Love the dive bar vibes and the eclectic art collection. The menu had limited offerings, but the food was good enough. The drink was spirit forward (lots of bourbon) and the service was top notch. The only drawback to a Hawthorne joint is the parking. It's always easier to find a spot off the main drag and down a block or two. ”

“ Big shout out to Otis. Absolutely lovely and helpful server who convinced us to come in! Very feasibly priced food. Good vegetarian options. I want to come back here to enjoy the live music, the good vibes, and the intimate ambiance ”

“ Hawthorne Hideaway truly stands out as a gem in the Portland live music scene. Having played there with my band, Izy Kactus, I can personally attest to the electrifying atmosphere and the exceptional service that makes every show unforgettable. It's not just a bar; it's a vibrant live music haven that brings together artists and music lovers in a truly special way. The venue strikes the perfect balance between a charged live music space and a cozy spot to unwind. The stage is well-set for performers, offering just the right vibe to connect with the audience intimately, while the separate chill area provides a peaceful retreat for those moments when you want to step away from the buzz and have a conversation or just relax. One of the standout features of Hawthorne Hideaway is its sound system, managed by a sound guy who's not only great at what he does but is also incredibly easy to work with. This makes a world of difference for bands, ensuring that each performance is not just heard but felt deeply by everyone in the room. The bartenders at Hawthorne Hideaway deserve a special mention for their top-notch service. They are attentive, friendly, and genuinely add to the positive experience with their great attitudes and quick service. It's rare to find a place where the staff is as excited about the music as the audience and performers are. In summary, Hawthorne Hideaway offers an unbeatable live music experience in Portland. Whether you're there to play or just enjoy the music, it's an awesome place with a great vibe, fantastic sound, and a welcoming atmosphere. It's definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for an authentic live music experience. ”

“ Do NOT hide from the Hideaway. It's currently 12:21am on a Thursday and here I am, eating a bomb $5 veggie burg with an ice cold DC absolutely destroying life and knowing that this fucker isn't a dry-ass bean burger from McMinimens warms my heart. Cool staff too. You know a burgers good when it comes in a paper wrap too. Bush did 9/11. Stay cool out there. ”
