We are one of Portland's premier mid-size music venues located in the heart of Downtown Portland, featuring live bands 7 nights a week. We usually have open mic on Monday nights, welcoming performers of any sort. If you are a developing band and want to play at an awesome club with a superior sound system, check out our open mic. It's the best damn rehearsal you'll ever have. The rest of our week is filled with any variety of local, regional touring acts and the occasional national touring act. To be considered for a booking with the Ash Street please email us at ashstreetsaloon@aol.com. We are always looking for new to us local bands. Please include detailed info as to what dates you are looking for and a link to your music/myspace, etc.

The Ash Street Saloon is Rock-n-Roll Fortified....

"The emphasis on the Ash Street's music calendar is local Music. Competition for ever-dwindling supply of touring independent rock bands is fierce, though Ash Street does land some more notable bigger band names that other local clubs with more clout might overlook. As of now, Ash Street distinguishes itself by being one of few local rock venues that does not pad their nights with easier to support DJ's, opting instead to comb the town for full bands and fill their schedule with raw, decidedly organic, sounds." - Sam Soule pdxguide.com

Ash Street Saloon is selected for the 2008 Best of Portland Award in the Bars category by the U.S. Local Business Association (USLBA).

The USLBA "Best of Local Business" Award Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country. Each year, the USLBA identifies companies that they believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and community.

Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2008 USLBA Award Program focused on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the USLBA and data provided by third parties.
