Norse Hall
Norse Hall was built and dedicated in 1928 by Norwegian immigrants, members of Grieg Lodge, and has served the Lodge and the community as a home and cultural center ever since. Located just across the Willamette River from the city’s downtown core in the vibrant Lower East Burnside neighborhood, Norse Hall is among the last remaining original ‘ethnic halls’ in Portland. It features one of the finest ballrooms in town, a large stage, two dining rooms and kitchens, spacious meeting room, beautiful library, Nordic arts showcase and comfortable lounge. The building was designed by well-known Portland architect Elmer Feig, and covers a quarter of a city block at 111 N.E. 11th & Couch Street. It is available for use by the community on a private basis.
Migration Brewing - Williams Pub & Patio
Migration’s 3rd full kitchen pub is in the modern, award-winning ecoFlats building. Completed in 2010, the building was Energy Trust’s first “Path to Net Zero Energy” project and is one of the city’s most efficient commercial structures. Our pub was designed with clean lines and features 20 taps of fresh beer coupled with some of the best food on the block.
The hidden secret is the expansive patio in the back that boasts a lush backdrop where you can enjoy all your favorite lawn games. Whether hosting a private event, stopping by for happy hour or before the big game, the Williams pub is your neighborhood stop!
Director Park
A public plaza in the heart of Downtown Portland, Director Park has been the site of the PDXLX afternoon dance for years. We hire in a dance floor for smooth operating, and there’s a snazzy glass pavilion to keep us dry whatever the weather.
Street parking will be tight. There are three parking garages on the blocks immediately surrounding the park. For bathrooms, we are invited to visit Nordstrom (entrance at Park & Yamhill). For food, visit Flying Elephant at Fox Tower or wander two blocks away to the food cart pod at Pioneer Square.
