Montavilla Station — Restaurant in Portland

updating review

Mixed emotions, Was doing karaoke here then had to stop beause my id got swiped so I managed to come up with the 40 bucks to get it, got to sing one night then the next tami tells me there was a big meeting and nothing personal and no reason but I cant have you in here anymore. All I did is help break up fights, sweep the sidewalk few times a week before they opened, helped clean up and haul garbage at night, make sure no one hasseled the girls after closing, ordered soda and tacos sat quietly charging phone waiting to sing. Had one of the girls leave the owner a note but so far two weeks and not a word so I dont know what to fix because no one is communicating, the place I go now is ok other than being told my best song cant get full length karaoke version even tho I been singing it at station for weeks on the exact same system

I went there tonight to participate in one of their Sunday Night Blues Jams. One of the hosts, a "Short Insecure Troll" with "Long Stringy Thin White Hair" took an instant disliking to me because I had a lot of "Guitar Pedals"and tried to sabotage my "Gig", via verbal comments to the audience, and not giving me ample time to Set-Up. [I almost "Left" at that point, but I'm glad I didn't, :) ]. He put himself on the stage as the singer, long story short, I was a lot "Better" than he thought I was, and I mocked him "Back" on the stage, with sarcastic expressions in his face, while turning in an "Audience Pleasing" performance, whereby he walked off the stage without acknowledging me and hung out at the other side of the bar because he got...

Absolutely great atmosphere... Good music and they have karaoke nights as well... Only bar on that street that truly stayed open til 2am!

The bartender was extremely kind even though she was busy with so many people! She also makes the best long Island I've ever had. You can taste do many flavors in it! The music is fun the people are fun and so many different cultures. Plenty of seating... The bar is broken into practically 4 sections... There's the pool/shuffleboard side. Then you have the stage and tables in front of it. Then you have the bar lounges and tables... Then there's even outdoor seating which overlooks the beauty of Stark. Highly recommend as a date spot.

Absolutely...
