Opened in 1988 in the Portland’s Kearns neighborhood, Laurelthirst Public House has strived to bring together what they see as the best in local music in a relaxed atmosphere. Based on how packed this place can be any night of the week, people seem to think they’re living up to that goal.
Music
Anytime they have happy hour music at 6pm, it is always free. Later shows (usually 9pm or 9:30pm) are usually between free and a $5 cover. They have music every night of the week, which can feature both regulars (for example, at 9pm every Monday you can check out the gypsy jazz swing of the band Kung Pao Chickens), local bands, and small touring acts.
The Venue
They label themselves at a public house and you should expect nothing less. Except for a small stage in the back, no attempt is made to make this anymore then a bar with music. Booths and tables in addition to spots at the bar are available for those who wish to sit. For dancing action, people often squeeze into the small space in front of the stage.
