La Luna (Portland, Oregon)
La Luna (or LaLuna) was a rock-'n'-roll nightclub in Portland, Oregon, United States[1][2] from 1992 to 1999.[3] Willamette Week described it as "For most of the 1990s, this inner-Southeast club was the center of gravity for the Portland music scene."[4] Located at the corner of Southeast Ninth Avenue and Southeast Pine Street, La Luna's main performance space could accommodate around 1,000 spectators.[5] It was previously known as the Ninth Street Exit (in the 1970s) and the Pine Street Theater (1980–1991).[6] It was called RKCNDY Portland (Rock Candy) for most of 1992.[6] It later returned to its original name, the Pine Street Theater (2000–02), before being redubbed Solid State (2004–05) during its final years of operation.[citation needed] The balcony served as a smaller performance space for more intimate shows and featured musicians like Elliot Smith.[3] An eatery named the La Luna Cafe opened in 2020 and is currently located in the same building.[7] See alsoReferences
