Alibi
Lounge
4024 N
Interstate Ave, Portland, OR 97227,
(503) 287-5335
The Scoop: The Tiki Lounge Highlight of
Portland!
Yes, The Alibi
Lounge is, presntly, the best Tiki
Experience in Portland. A friendly
staff, great menu - quite reasonably
priced - and a good line-up of fun
drinks guarantees the crew will have a
swillin' good time here.
The Alibi has
been suriving during the years of late
as a Karaoke bar, and making quite the
name doing so. They are hom eof some of
the most competitive and spectacular
Karaoke around, seven nights a week.
Things get rolling there about 8pm, so
if you and your crew want run of the
place with the Tiki atmosphere, show up
early and plan to jet around 7pm or
so.
The interior
decor of The Alibi is extensive,
terrifically nautical and Pacific, and
a terrific atmosphere. There is no
doubt that you and your guests will be
blown away by the giant black-light
glowing wall sculpture of the dancing
island hula girls!
This is a
must-stop on the Tiki Tour. Come with a
group of about 8 or more, and they'll
give you the entire upper level for
your party, cavorting, and
skulldancery!

Jasmine
Tree
401 SW
Harrison, Portland OR
The Scoop: okay for drinks and meeting
some friendly folks. The Jasmine Tree
is a chinese food resturaunt with a
Tiki-theme back room. Some good stuff
but in poor repair.
They do offer
live music and are quite close to the
PSU downtown. I asked the owners about
setting aside an evening a month for
lounge music, and they quickly and
flatly refused. "Live bands only," they
said. Obviously, these guys are not up
on the Tiki scene - none of their live
bands are lounge, they are more modern
underground. Fine for the college
crowd, but missing an entire group
(us!) and just tossing aside the
decor's main mood.
This would be
a prime hangout for the PDX Tiki club.
When you go in, be sure to ask if they
have lounge music nights. If they get
asked enough times, maybe we'll get
them thinking twice!s
