East End Update

10/17/2014 2:15:00 PM

--via dBMonkey + East End:

East End wants to apologize for the silence since the fire. We have been waiting for circumstances beyond our control to figure out the future. We still do not have enough information to know when, or even if, we can open again. We are still waiting on the city to tell the landlord what the Osborn building needs to make it safe for the public. As of now that could be months to a year.

We want to thank everyone for the outpouring of support we have received since the fire.

We also want to thank the bars that found work for all the employees after the fire: Lovecraft, Star Bar, Holocene, Slingshot, East Bank Saloon, Bunk Bar, Rose City Strip, Boogies Burgers.

Thank you to all the bands, DJs, artists and everyone who did events and parties there. And thank you everyone who came by for a drink or 12 over the years.

Defend Net Neutrality

Without an open internet, big corporations would have tight control over how we access websites and services. Please do your part to keep the internet a cornerstone of freedom and opportunity.

John Oliver explains it perfectly.
View it and go do it.

East End Temporarily Closed Due to Fire

8/8/2014 1:52:00 PM

East End is closed for at least this weekend due to the fire that took place at the Osborn Building this morning as reported by KATU. East End will reopen as soon as possible. How long will depend on the extent of damage inside the bar and show room. We will keep people updated about our status through the website at www.eastendportand.com (the design of which by the way was recently updated by our good friends at DBmonkey so this is a great time to check that out!) and via these email list updates.

It's a pretty simple deal: keep-it or kill-it?

Right now the slider is one of the few things you can personalize on your member profile. Curious if you guys want it on or off by default.
