Bouncers & staff acted like they were superior....not a fan. I had fun. Met some great people. Bartenders were awesome, but bouncers, not so much. As a biz owner, and a person, everyone should be valued.....they acted like they were better than their customers. Not a good business practice in my book.
45 East is a sick venue, which is why it's a damn shame that the bouncers are overbearing garbage. In the four hours I was there for an EDM show, people were being told not to pull their bandanas over their faces, a girl was kicked out almost immediately because she was wearing booty shorts (Pretty standard for ravers, and wasn't even that risque), and a bouncer literally crawled across the stage during the performance to tell some guy in the front row who wasn't causing any trouble to put his shirt back on. Really? To top it all off, right after the show ended, a bouncer immediately came over and told people they weren't allowed to get water from the fountain, and had to leave the club. When I say right after the show ended, I mean it. It was less than two minutes after the artist finished his set, he was still on stage, and people who had been dancing for literal hours were being told they couldn't get a drink from the fountain.
Good sound, good crowd the night I was last here. I've heard it isn't always that good though so your mileage may vary.
We read the reviews. Everyone complained about the bouncers.. ok. THEY WHERE RIGHT!!
I would love to come to another show here, but it feels less like a club, and more like a daycare with overpriced booze and electronic music.
We paid $60 dollars for the concert and got kicked out with the last hour to go. That's The best part of any show!
We got kicked out for my foot slipping down 1 step of the carpeted stair case. What??!
I'll never go to this club ever! Bouncers are the WORST!!
Drinks were fine. Nobody seemed cranky to pour me one. Water was out. I've noticed a trend in PDX of places not putting out the water like usual in an attempt to increase drink sales. Please don't do that. Thanks.
Poor sound system. Where are the vibrations running through my body??...None. But otherwise great place
