Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Portland’s Iconic Music Venue

Lola's Room, nestled within Portland’s historic Crystal Ballroom, is a beloved intimate venue known for its sprung dance floor and electrifying live performances. With a capacity of just 400, it offers an up-close experience with artists. This guide breaks down the seating (or standing) layout, views, and tips to maximize your visit.

Seating Chart Overview

• General Admission (Dance Floor): Standing room directly in front of the stage—ideal for energetic fans but can get crowded.
• Elevated Side Platforms: Raised areas with slightly better sightlines, though partial obstructions may occur from pillars.
• Bar Area (Rear): Casual standing space with easy drink access, but views may be limited for shorter attendees.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Center dance floor (first 3 rows) for unobstructed views.
• Comedy Shows: Elevated platforms for a clear sightline to the stage.
• Budget Picks: Bar-area standing spots—arrive early for diagonal sightlines.

VIP & Accessibility

• No traditional VIP seating, but early entry passes are occasionally available.
• ADA accommodations include a designated viewing area near the entrance; contact the venue ahead.

Pro Tips

• For sound quality: Mid-floor avoids speaker extremes.
• Check the venue’s calendar for "sold-out" warnings—arrive early to secure spots.
• Wear comfortable shoes; the sprung floor enhances dancing but can be taxing.
