An iconic Portland music venue supporting PDX’s rich music community. Featuring talent at many levels from world famous to local grown. This place reminds me of the Village Vanguard, a place I so enjoyed in New York. Everything works for a great music experience.

Great vibe both upstairs and downstairs. Very different, but both great! Also good food!

This place is so cool. Portland digs music and The Jack London Revue is the place for music and drinks. Check it out before we lockdown and you can’t go. The night I went featured a great band from New Orleans. Fun had by all!#portland #cool

It was awesome. Saw The Incredible Mike Phillips

Great little music venue downstairs. Good atmosphere and intimate set up. We love the band we saw, so it was a good time. We’ll be back. Upstairs has always been good for drinks, TV, pool, and/or video lottery

Fabulous small club to see music with great staff & fun bartenders

Havent been down there yet, but the entryway intrigues me.

Really great club atmosphere... Loved seeing Lyrics Born back in February. Hope to get back soon!

Great evening with Brian Blade and co.

Great venue. Intimate, loungey, great sound, great bar.

This is the greatest place of all time and if you are smart you will see the Funky Knuckles here time and time again and never give up your dreams. They are a world famous squadron of cabbage eating ostrich men with impeccable dental hygiene. Most of the horse meat on the menu is locally sourced and organic.

Neat place and great music!

Great place for live local music!

Great venue for a show and dancing!!!

The Jack London Review is in the Rialto Pool Hall, where it occupies the bottom floor. The bottom floor is self-contained and self-sufficient, meaning that it has its own bar, restrooms, etc., so youll not have to leave once youre down there. Ive seen several shows here, and the layout, stage height, and PA system are all great. Please be sure to bring earplugs, though, as oftentimes, the sound engineer turns it up way too loud. There are many parking garages immediately in the area, so parking is generally never an issue.

Love this place! Cant wait for the downstairs to open back up. Im missing the live bands!

Friendly people, amazing music. Chatted with the promoter for Sunday night Soul Night. He goes around Portland finding the best musicians in the city and gives them a place to do their thing. Would highly recommend checking it out for some of the best live music acts in town.

Best underground jazz club in town. Getting through the Rialto can be hairy but once you’re downstairs, it’s paradise. Strong bookings combining up and coming players as well as established greats.

No matter where you sit, the sound in this cute, Speakeasy Vibe, classy little joint is always on point!! The staff are always incredible and make you feel like family while pouring a tasty quality beverage, and the food is top notch EVERY time!!! 🌟❤

Very cool vibe. The food is quite good and not too pricy for a night club vibe. Most of the bar tenders are very friendly. The reason to go here would definitely have to be the live music. In the absence of Jimmy Macs, this place is one of the main spots for quality jazz/soul/r&b.

This is a great location to view a show and chill with friends. Wonderful bartenders Liz and Tessa. Definitely recommend playing some pool upstairs also. 👍

This venue was perfect for what I needed: a comfy cozy night out by myself to see some talent. The venue had warm cozy lighting, and the sound was perfect for the UK jazz group I saw. No earplugs, and no ringing in my ears after the show! Thats huge for me. I hate fighting the sound volume at almost every other show Ive ever been to 😣. Extreme loudness does not make players sound better. Luckily at this show that didnt get in the way.Thank you Dan!The crowd was so good too. No pickup vibes. Just enjoyers of music. Sooo good.I had the steak salad which was on super fresh baby greens and delicious.Maybe the positive vibe from the band helped to create the events atmosphere, but Im hoping this venue is just the place for me and people like me: music and ambiance lovers and dance revelers of the positive kind.Amen.

Really liked rhe vibe here. Great music, good drinks. A little more dancing room would be appropriate (and appreciated) for the highly danceable bands!

It was our first time here. The atmosphere was fun, drinks were worth the money! Bartenders were friendly. We had a blast. Davi Schmidt was amazing. We are definitely fans now!!

This venue is very small, but it means you get up close and personal with the band. Food is good and I always have a great time.

Excellent venue with great food and music. Do yourself a favor and catch Mel Brown Thursday night. You can thank me later.

Intimate club with a great vibe and an eclectic but always amazing selection of artists every night. You cant go wrong at JLR!

Great jazz venue! Also super friendly folks who work here. This is one of my favorite clubs in town.

Saw an amazing show with a creepy sexy bunny and the one and only Izabelle Starling... Way cool vibe down here. Highly recommend it

Great vibe and great acts. Unfortunately our half drunk drinks disappeared when we got up to dance. Not cool. Would like at least one vegan option on the menu.

The best place in town for jazz. Lots of venues, great atmosphere and service. It’s always a pleasure coming back.

We saw the Monday night jazz band. It was phenomenal. The setting was intimate and the performers with passionate. What a lovely way to spend a Monday night.

This basement jazz club feel classy and intimate without being stuffy or pretentious. This was a great place to see live jazz in a cozy environment with great ambiance. The unfussy drinks, fast service, and comfortable seats made this a great first stop on a night out. Even though its a little hard to spot, since its in the basement of the Rialto, its definitely worth making the effort to check out.

Lots of shows at a good venue. Line of sight issues at various spots keep this from being a great venue

Great spot that hosts shows consistently. Good was reasonably priced and drinks were perfect.

Came here on a Monday so got treated to the Prangsters big band - amazing musicians, fun vocalist, great acoustics, good drinks and clean lavatories. Wish we had something like this in Denver!

Very cool venue, I took my wife to see Rich hunter aka RiskyStar here and it was amazing! Great atmosphere, music, and signature cocktails. We definitely recommend this place to any and everyone. Its smaller than most venues which really add to the ambiance.

Not too large for excellent, intimate jazz and not too small- perfectly dark, simple and great sound🎼

Really enjoyed the booth seating and the fact that its an unpretentious jazz lounge. Food was good, but not outstanding. Live sound mix definitely came across as muddy and vocals from the talent definitely got 100% lost a few times in the instrumentals. It wasnt excessively loud though, which was nice. Drinks were far too expensive though - $12 for a Spanish coffee? Give me a break.

Great music on Monday nights. Local dance bands do great job. Very enjoyable!

Looking for live Jazz and Soul music downtown, this is a great cozy spot to bring your main squeeze, friends or just show up solo. Good drinks, food and someone decent engineering sound.

Fantastic music, environment, drinks, and people.

A jem in Portland!I was in town for few days and looked for a Jazz show.They had the Jumptown Big Band show which is based on 16 players (!) and a singer from time to time.We came without any expectations and were absolutely amazed!The band was super, very proffesional and accurate.The show was in the basement and the sound was very good.And, all of that for only 10$...

Good small venue. Tables too close to be comfortable but decent show.

Great venue, good bar service. Could use a little ventilation as it is in a basement, but fantastic anyway!

The atmosphere was nice the respect and hospitality was greata very very nice place to go a very very nice place to take a beautiful lady I would stronglyrecommended to those who are looking for a nice place that is inviting where everyone gets along with everyone else

I had a terrific time watching Erotic City Prince Tribute, followed by a burlesque show. Ill be back very soon!

Really Good. Great acoustics. Great service. Liz behind the bar is a master.

Great underground dark space. Great music, great performers. Good wings too surprisingly.

From all I’ve heard and read, the music and vibe at JLR are spectacular! Going there for my first visit on December 21st and can’t wait!!

Nice music venue with surprisingly well known acts of many different genres. Sundays are typically Neo Soul nights. The Rialto Pool Hall is upstairs with its own bar as well.

Incredible music venue,with style and class. We saw Gunhild Carling here,she was fabulous,dont miss her if she returns. And also Mel Brown and his band are sensational, and appear regularly. Get on down to the JLR,pronto.

Ive been to a couple of shows there now and like this club. Nicely laid out, staff takes care of business, sound was good for both shows that I went to.Who ever is booking for them has good taste, or at least similar taste to me. I will be working on becoming a regular.

Great live music on Thursday night! Really good time.

We love this small, intimate venue where the music always sounds great!

My favorite jazz club in town, Mel Brown is a must see!

Its a dank basement with poor ventilation and lousy sound quality. The bar downstairs gets backed up, but getting drinks through the crowd and up/down the stairs isnt a great option, either. Plus, the upstairs bartender was grumpy with us for no apparent reason.

Great entertainment. Great food, great staff. Great venue. Thanks.

Dope venue for jazz and R&B with a chill vibe and good drinks!

Great venue. Loud so bring plugs. Be ready to dance!

Awesome venue! Great music and people.

The band was great the band was called why not you should go out and check him out

I love this venue! Its got great acoustics and a dance floor in front if you dont want to sit.

This place has a great Portland atmosphere on the first floor with full bar, dinning, pool tables etc. But the gem is in the basement, a speakeasy like environment with an eclectic lineup of performers including a brulesq show straight out of the 20s.

Nice to hear different links of music. Spent cover charge.

Excellent Jazz clubCozy and welcoming place.Wonderful musicians ... The music is just greatGet there early if you want good seats

Great, intimate concert setting. Awesome place to see a hip hop or jazz show!

Thank you for hosting the FABULOUS Jo Ann Hardesty celebration Party! Well done!

Romantic atmosphere, beautiful big wood dance floor!

We paid $100 to see a jazz concert and they intentionally over sold the tickets !! Theyre were over 50 people standing for 2 hours !! Great music, POOR - GREEDY MANAGEMENT !!!

The ackward room makes it nearly impossible to see the band unless you have seats right up front, and there arent many. We got there when doors opened to get a seat and ended up having to sit behind a post.It was a very crowded show and I thought a three piece was playing. It wasnt until we were leaving that I saw they were a four piece, the guitarist was standing behind another post!When I mentioned to the manager that we couldnt see anything at all and they had oversold the show, he said, Yes, you wont be able to see anything unless you stand wayyy to the right or wayyy to the left of the room. Swell. We certainly didnt get what we paid for. One doesnt go out to hear a show, one goes out to see a show.

Great Band. Really cold in the back row seats.

Rialto and a great place to go see shows

Great hidden jazz club downstairs, worth a visit

Gorgeous space, good prices on drinks, and amazing shows!

Would give NO stars if possible.The drink mixing, which was unworthy of anyone calling themselves a professional, prompted my friend to write a note complimenting the food and the service from the lady bartender but telling them the drink mixing was substandard and left something to be desired. Within our group there were two of the same cocktail mixed back to back with wildly different proportions and both tasting terrible. We tipped 20% regardless, being restaurant industry workers ourselves.THE AWFUL PART was a friend in our group forgot her bag at the bar and when she went to retrieve it the bald grizzly bouncer with the unkempt beard swore at her, asking if she left that f***ing note, after which she was further berated by the latino bartender. When called the establishment was completely unreachable by phone.Will actively discourage patronage of this bar to everyone I know. Absolutely shameful behavior.

Best jazz club above a pool hall this side of the Mississippi and the mason Dixie line!

We’ve been to the Jack London many times for the music.THE MUSIC IS AWESOME!!!! So go for the music not for the food or the service. Our last experience...Upon arriving we were going to order food. The menu had a few items crossed out by what it looked like a 2yr old. After deciding what we wanted to order the server told me that was the old menu..ok well where is the new menu? Hum? Anyway placed our order which proceeded to take 1 1/2 hours to receive. After 1 hour upon checking on what the heck was going on we were told they were out of chicken for my salad. Ok well we ordered chicken wings at that point. 20 minutes later she told us they made the salad if it was ok to have crispy chicken . I said Fine... the salad arrived about 15 min later with chicken strips. She also brought our chicken tacos at the same time (1 1/2 hours after ordering). I asked for a condiment & that took another 20 min. In the middle of all this we ordered a beer...She came back & said they were out. Ordered another beer, out of that too. (I’m betond frustrated at this point). Never touched the food. Went to the restroom & they were out of soap. There was a yellow mustard container with soap written in it that was also empty.

Great bands, good food, great service.

Went there Sun Apr 22nd during Sould out music festival. Band was slow. Picked up when female singer finally emerged. Food was horrible. Vibe was boring.

Talked to the manager. Seems like an honest guy. Apology excepted.

I always enjoy the talent here!!

If you like quality live music, and an awesome atmosphere, you must come to The Jack London Revue.

Dont go see a concert here unless you are at the front of the line.. We got there early to get seats at a table and then they let people who show up late stand in front of the side tables. No one was willing to do crowd control. Oversold!..overcrowded.!

Obstructed view. Hosting great shows.

Saw Le Plus Ultra Jass Orchestra perform. Fantastic!

Amazing talent and tasteful ambiance.

Really nice staff for NEO SOUL!

Great place to play live music

Really good music every Sunday night.

Lovely spot, great vibes and atmosphere

Cool ambiance good vibes

Beautiful place to witness intimate shows!

Great venue with a nice vibe

I had high hopes this would be a similar experience to Jimmy maks. Not even close, unfortunately. Food is bad bar food and was cold, no servers available to get drinks/food, have to stand in line at bar to order. 3 stars only because the music was good.

One of favorite venues.

Allen Stone was awesome

Great food, music, atmosphere, and staff!

Cute intimate venue!

Great vibe.
