Mississippi Studios Reviews

Definitely one of my favorite places to see a band in Portland!

They have good shows and excellent sound, def an intimate venue. I like the layout and bartenders hustle. Outdoor seating with fire is cool. The burger is super solid for the price, only food complaint is fried pickles are lil slices instead of substantial spears. Beer selection is great with a lot of affordable options. Recommend for a good show or just a quick burger and some beers

Fun spot with a limited burger menu. Great outdoor chill place but usually incredibly crowded, especially on nice nights. Lots of hipsters. But still enjoyable if you hang on the patio!

Such a great little venue. I came here to see the Victor Wooton Trio and the acoustics were so good and it was such a personal little show. The people who were working that night were really nice as well. It was perfect!

One of the best venues in Portland. The sound quality is always perfect, and it's a nice, intimate space for a show. Never had a bad experience.

great family den wish more soul less folk burgers beers always straight aftee hours the best

Nice venue. Great food. Good band The Empty Pockets from Chicago

Excellent concert venue, happy staff, great place to hang with your friends!

Mississippi Studios is a fun, well maintained and comfortable venue. Do yourself a favor and get there a little early to have a drink outside before your show starts. Parking is in the neighborhood, so get there via public transit or carpool if you can. Overall, great venue, nice locale and good staff!

Favorite burgers, great service, love the walk up window for ordering. Oh, and beer. What's not to love? These guys are on it.

Great music, eats, and outdoor space with fire pit.

It s ok. I really want to like this place, but every time I come I inevitably get my order taken by a sullen Instagram obsessed lady wearing big earrings and staring me down for having the gall to ask her to do anything. It s cool, I work service too- but letting my food order rot in the window for 15 minutes while you chat up the beer delivery guy is rude. Forcing the overworked kitchen staff to run the food you re too lazy to run is rude too. Staff is overly entitled and lazy. What happened to this place?

Amazing food, great service.... Gotta try the Egg McMorton with Bacon and the Fried Pickles!

One of my top two favorite live music venues in Portland.

Hip hip...

A chill joint to drink beer and cocktails while either chilling by a fire or listening to a live show.

94.7 has free lunch concerts I saw Bishop Briggs for free! Awesome!

Great place for live local music. Good burgers and fries.

Excellent live music, sound system, venue, drinks, food and service. Reasonably priced! for real. I love this place.

Great beer selection, fair prices, and an unrelenting indifference to the length of the bar line.

This particular bartender was so slow that as I become more uneasy about standing in line for along, I started to wonder if something was wrong with me and if I needed to schedule some mental health visits. It was deeply unsettling how much she didn't care that people were in line.

They moved several people to a second bar leaving me in the #3 position. First person got three mixed drinks and it took 7 minutes. Second person got a pint and a Moscow Mule. This took 4 minutes. I'm sure the drinks were amazing.

To be fair, I heard the bartender say it was her birthday, and I guess you can do whatever you want on your birthday. She didn't seem to know either of the two people ahead of me, but I think they're all BFFs now. Talk talk talk talk talk. Not an ideal time when there were, literally, 12 people queued up.

I wanted to say something, but this seems like the place where six people will tell me to check my white male privilege if I dared to say anything.

A lot of great shows here, but I'll probably skip the drinks/meal before the show next time.

Amazing atmosphere, the bartender's were so very patient and wonderful, I asked for a bloody marry, I know an unusual drink but they took the time to make it and that was one of the best I've ever had. The music is incredible there with so many unique artists going through!! A MUST check out when your in Portland!

Excellent burgers and a cozy venue for smaller bands. Large patio for outdoor seating.

Fun place to hang out and see a show. Awesome patio with heaters.

Mississippi has a lot of friendly employees, They have 2 sides, a concert side and a hang out and mingle side. Theres also a balcony you can hang out in where not a lot of people know about. It's a lot of fun

People love this place - I've personally never had a great time at this venue... both before and since the remodel. I can't tell you why I'm not a fan of this venue - is it the long narrow space with high ceilings? Is it haunted? Or is the feng shui off? Maybe it's all the skinny, hipster, midwestern white people? I want to feel as others feel because I love a small venue. Portland has some of the crappiest (bad layout or vibes or sound) venues of any city I've lived in. This one isn't the worst.

Too trendy and everyone is too cool to help or provide good service.

This place is pretty cool. The drinks arent cheap but they make em nice and strong. The music was great and they have the best outdoor smoking lounge in town

Polite and helpful staff, awesome outdoor seating. Dog friendly af

Burgers are tops here and they have free outdoor shows in the summer. The patio is just as good as the burgers (veggie and/or meat), come hungry to a show and you're in for a real treat!

Fried pickle chips, and fried ravioli. Two of the best bar foods in one place.

Would give it 10 stars if I could just for that alone.

Good shows, great burgers, perfect drinks and awesome staff

I ate outside. Options were okay. Atmosphere was awesome.

Afternoon beer like one of those people I always see, wondering how they can be so lucky!

One of my favorite places to hear music in Portland. The acoustics and the care of the mixers in this stage are amazing. Everyone sounds better here and the devour and ambiance are prime for Portland. A great place to go and see live and local music.

Small and tight inside when it's busy but the outdoor area and fire are really nice. Best fried pickles I've had in Portland.

Great no-nonsense burger. Good outdoor space and beer selection. Straightforward Portland.

Best studip n bar on missisipi road its got a sweet outdoor patio and fire place and best burgers ive had in a while make sure to cheq the special of the month not on the menu and some real cool merch as sell. I loved it ill def be back next time in portland

The patio was well lit and had warming lights to fight the winter cold. I do wish that they would have a farther removed smoking section form the non smoking.

I love watching concerts here. I wish it were larger!

Super fun venue with a well stocked bar and Kitchen. Great prices and they made us out-of-towners feel welcomed. The venue has a unique and awesome set up for watching bands. We saw Shellac, and the audio set up and acoustics were top notch. I'd do the 6 hour drive once a month to see all my favorite bands play here, highly recommended!

Great venue. Has upstairs seating and standing. You can drink in a separate room if you hate the band that is playing

Grab food at the bar next door/attached (order and wait for it there) and bring it into the venue.

Cool space, I enjoyed the show I saw there.

This place is a gem. A cool music venue and cool bar are rare things to have in one place. The bar had a cool vibe to it. The staff was nice and professional. Mississippi Studios was a nice venue to enjoy the Blackwater Holylight show. Sold out and still comfortable. Nice beer selection even though they have 4 to 6 IPA on the list. Not hating just saying. I flew in from Minneapolis for the show and definitely will tell my friends to stop by if they ever plan on going to Portland. To the people of Portland appreciate the venue/bar combo you have they are not that many as cool as Mississippi Studios and Bar Bar.

The burgers are to die for and they are super cheap! Check out the cozy patio @ night they have mini fire pits and mood lighting. Staff is phenomenal!

Comfortable bar and music venue with good acoustics and reasonably priced drinks in a buzzy, walkable neighborhood.

This place is great, good drinks and awesome shows.

One of the best venues in town. I love playing here

The quality place varies depending on the time of day, as occasionally it can get over-crowded, but it seems to be a pretty safe bet most of the time. There's an outdoor fire pit, and multiple outdoor heaters, which make it nice to hangout outdoors even in Winter months. The bar staff isn't exactly the friendliest, but hey.. this is Portland after all. :)

Performer was great. But audience was asked to stand for 3 hours- very few chairs. A acoustics were also good.

I suppose this is a way to maximize revenue in a small space.
