THE STEEP AND THORNY WAY TO HEAVEN is a new kind of event space for Portland: equal parts intimate arts venue and warehouse party space; 21st-century geotagged social media node and prohibition-era speakeasy. We host first-rate performers in themed variety lineups, we provide a venue for instructional workshops from members of the local and global arts community, we serve a boutique cocktail menu from mostly local ingredients, and we do it all in our own post-industrial style, without compromise.
MEMBERSHIP is an investment in our venue & concept: in the idea that clubgoers needn’t decide between high art & hard partying: we give you the best of both worlds. Membership has no expiration, is non-transferrable, and the price for new members will increase as the club grows, so the earlier you join, the less you pay. Lifetime member benefits include the following:
- Pay with your smartphone using square and leave your wallet at home
- Free entry to our monthly events for life
- Free standing-room to most ticketed events
- Always on the list: you & a guest can attend our events without advance rsvp
- Discounted tickets to certain hosted events, including costumed events &
