Iconic essentric museum/creepy haunted house vibe. A must see; must experience. With two full bars dance floors and so much to look at. . Photo Creds Unknown

This place feels like one of the classic old pubs with a unique and quirky design. The decor is quite unusual, adding to its charm. The night I visited, they were playing 70s and 80s music, and we danced the night away. It had a...Read More

There is no better place to dance than bubbas! I love that both young and young at heart all have a grand time together! The music is great and the bar service is top notch!

I don’t understand how this place doesn’t have 5.5 stars. It’s a miracle. Maybe the reason our society is so flawed is because everything good about it got wrapped up into Bubba’s Sulky Lounge.

This is one of the funkiest bars I've ever stepped into. Went to the 80's night. The DJ didn't do a great job sticking with the 80's, really missed a huge number of British New Wave classics, but it was still great fun.

Bubba's never disappoints! The drinks are a little pricey, but none of the bartenders on any of the three bars ever scrimps on the alcohol content, so they're worth their weight. I love going to Bubba's at least once a month.

Fun 80’s themed night club with weird antiques lining every inch of the place. Seemed never ending as there where like 7 rooms with a different bar/dance floor in each room

Very loud, hard to hearSuitable for all group sizes

Place is really cool and fun energy but drinks where trash. And no hand soap so the bartenders are not washing hands and that's nasty. They could do better

Very eclectic bar. This is one of the first places that looked exactly like what you see in the photos. Only paid a 5$ cover, the drinks were affordable & had a blast. Lots of seating & different places to dance.

Friday nights are consistently fantastic if you enjoy dancing to 80s and 90s! From 8:30PM to 10:30PM the crowd is around 45-years old and up. Grab a couple of friends or come on your own and be ready to dance, dance, dance. Around 10:30PM the music...Read More

A great place for dancing and having fun. A historical piece of 60s (as they told me all the decorations are from that period of time). I loved the place and party with the music fton 80s. People from very different ages. Starting from 21...Read More

We had a blast. The drinks are reasonable. The music is a little dated but very danceable. Security is so helpful and respectful. My only complaint is bartenders kind of have attitude, and it’s impossible to get their attention. They seemed a little understaffed though....Read More

One of the best 80s night I've ever been to! The neon tile floor will transport you back in time. The crowd was amazing, all age types enjoying good 70s and 80s jams.

When I was visiting, I tried most of the dance places in Portland and I always ended up coming back to Bubba's. It is entirely unpretentious with an eclectic and open minded crowd. 3 dance floors.The music was great. 80s on Friday. 90s through today...Read More

This place is a fever dream of a club...went for 80s night and left feeling confused about life and everything I know. 10/10, will definitely be back soon. Bartender was quick, and drinks were made good (almost too good)

We accidentally came across this spot on our recent trip to Portland. We stopped in for a drink and walked into 80s night, compete with a light-up dance floor! We ended up staying the whole night. The place is quirky and huge, with multiple …

Bubbas is a GREAT place for girls night, especially on Friday, 80's night! Too bad it's not free for those who dress up in 80's anymore ... should be on the website so people know before they get there to have cash for the cover...Read More

Bubba's is just... wow. The atmosphere is surreal and anything you think they could possibly have, they have. While I'm not a huge fan of big dolls, the light up floor is so much fun. We went on 90's night so the music was great....Read More

This is legitimately the most fun bar I've been to in years. Can't explain how weird and kitschy it is, but it is the mortal enemy of pretentiousness. All sorts of people hanging out and dancing to corny 90s dance music and whatnot. …
