The Showdown

1195 SE Powell Dr | Central Eastside Industrial

About

The Showdown is a country?leaning live music saloon in Portland’s inner southeast that hosts country, Americana, bluegrass, folk, and regular dance nights like two?step and square dancing. Founded by the team behind Dante’s and currently booked by Pickathon Presents, it features an intimate room with a semicircular stage that fits the honky?tonk vibe of the Central Eastside.
