Back Stage Bar is a bar and restaurant operated by McMenamins in Portland, Oregon, United States.

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]
