Panther Club

Portland, Oregon

Panther Club opened on Southeast 6th Avenue with a line it still uses for itself: a good bar for bad people. The room pairs a cocktail list with pool tables, disco balls, and a kitchen sending out steaks and burgers, and the house invites guests to treat the space, the booze, and the music as their clubhouse. Records and guest selectors run through the week, and the room regularly hosts release parties and DJ nights rather than karaoke. Doors open at 5pm seven days a week and stay open late. Bookings for parties are taken through the bar directly.
