Barbarella, Video dance club in Downtown Portland, United States
Barbarella is a dance club in downtown Portland with two dance floors, a loft area, and video projections distributed throughout the space. The interior combines elements from different decades through carefully curated theme nights.
The club opened in 2019 in a building that previously hosted other dance venues. The space retained its role as an entertainment destination while gaining new life under this new concept.
The venue draws people who enjoy music spanning multiple decades, particularly funk and soul from the 1950s through 1980s. Theme nights encourage visitors to connect with the aesthetic of these eras and become part of an active social scene.
The club experience varies by day of the week, as each night features a different musical theme. Visitors should research ahead of time which evenings match their music taste.
The space is decorated with lava lamps, pinball machines, and mid-century furniture that bring science fiction film aesthetics into reality. These design details create an immersive world that makes the visit memorable.
