Excellent!

Excellent!
Size is just right with this place.
Drinks are never far, the show can't be overcrowded, the people are friendly, and the bathroom is close by and single person/locking.
I talked to a stranger at a show I was just at here and it was great 11/10 dont even bother reading more reviews!
(But also the food and regular bar side looked great!)

Hands down my favorite place to go for a burger. Even if I go just for drinks after work, I smell it and have to have it with large Cajun fries. Drinks are well made. Great outdoor seating as well.

Very rude staff. I will not be going back. Kickball team wanted a bar to go to right after games at 5pm but apparently bar bar has enough business that it doesn't want or need at least 30 people (who spend money) to occupy their place of business for 2 hrs. We got the hint Mississippi... You don't want our money.

This is one of my favorite venues in Portland to see bands play. It's the kind of location that isn't too big or too small. The sound is generally pretty great and the fact that its connected to bar bar with a huge patio is definitely a plus.

Good food, great spirits, friendly service.. Has outside seating for those days( or nites) you just need to be outside, live music on specified nites and a cozy atmosphere. My kind of dive. But shhhh, don't tell anyone.

This place has a comfortable feeling and is a good looking venue. I went for a show which had good sound and a cool balcony to watch from. The balcony had theatre style seating however they are wood and a bit uncomfortable. Other than that great place that seems to have an eclectic range of shows to see.

The burger was one of the better I have had for burger week & I love that they come up with creative ones the other 51 weeks of the year. I dislike the patio as even in the non-smoking area it still wafts over:/

Got to see one of my favorite bands here. Big Business was spot on. The sound was really good here. I was a live sound technician in Portland for a decade and I was impressed. They have a Midas analog board that has been kept in good shape. The sound is just right for the smaller intimate venue. I highly suggest catching a show here if you can. Worth it!

Maybe my favorite venue in town. I love having the option to sit up top in the balcony or stand near the stage depending on how I'm feeling and what sort of show it is. Ticket prices are always reasonable and the venue is always clean.

While the location and movies are great place to interact with friends, the staff lacks basic customer service 101. Our group of nine was verbally harassed by one staff member. He accused us of not following directions when a previous staff member told of something different. He was very confrontational and left an unpleasant taste in our mouths. At the same time, there were dogs in the bar and individuals smoking pot. We will not be returning to this and strongly advise if you want a mellow chill evening out with your friends that you do not go to Bar Bar.

About Mississippi Studios

Mississippi Studios: A Music Venue in Portland, Oregon

Mississippi Studios is a music venue located in the heart of Portland, Oregon. It is owned and operated by musicians who have a passion for live music and creating an unforgettable experience for their guests. The venue has become a popular destination for both nationally and internationally touring acts as well as local favorites.

The History of Mississippi Studios

Mississippi Studios was founded in 2003 by Jim Brunberg and Kevin Cradock. The two musicians had been playing together since the early 90s and had always dreamed of opening their own music venue. They found the perfect location on North Mississippi Avenue, which at the time was an up-and-coming neighborhood with a vibrant arts scene.

The original space was small but intimate, with room for only about 100 people. However, it quickly became clear that there was a demand for live music in Portland, and Mississippi Studios began to attract larger crowds.

In 2010, Brunberg and Cradock decided to expand the venue by adding Bar Bar next door. This allowed them to offer food and drinks to their guests while still maintaining the focus on live music.

Today, Mississippi Studios has become one of Portland's most beloved venues. It has won numerous awards over the years including "Best Live Music Venue" from Willamette Week's Reader's Poll multiple times.

What Makes Mississippi Studios Unique?

One thing that sets Mississippi Studios apart from other venues is its commitment to showcasing both national acts as well as local talent. While many venues focus solely on bringing in big-name artists from out of town, Mississippi Studios also provides a platform for up-and-coming musicians from around Portland.

Another unique aspect of Mississippi Studios is its dedication to providing an exceptional experience for its guests. From the sound quality to the lighting design to the overall ambiance of the space - every detail has been carefully considered with one goal in mind: creating an unforgettable night out.

Finally, it's worth noting that because this venue is owned by musicians themselves they understand what performers need when they're on stage - good sound quality! So you can expect top-notch acoustics at every show you attend here!
