DANTE’S

LASCIATE OGNE SPERANZA, VOI CH'INTRATE.

About Me

Dante's is located at SW 3rd and Burnside in the "Entertainment District" of downtown Portland, OR. The club was opened in February 2000 in a turn-of-the-century building that has formerly housed a brothel, a flop-house, a Mongolian grill restaurant, a speak-easy, and a gambling den.
Over the past few years, Dante's has grown into much more than just a live-music venue. This is largely due to the support of loyal patrons, staff, and talented artists. The club is described as organic, in that it is able to accomodate just about any type of act from rock to cabaret to burlesque to fire-dancing.Dante's offers a classic, dark, lush atmosphere with award-winning pizza, and one of "the best damned bars on Earth."Over the past six years, many local and nationally-known artists and performers have graced the stage at Dante's, dropped by to wind down in the Limbo Lounge, or warmed themselves in front of the open fire-pit.It's never a dull night at Dante's...Below are just a few of the accolades that the bar has won.
