The Aladdin Theater, Southeast Portland’s intimate venue
The Aladdin Theater in Southeast Portland is a venue where well-known acts and new artists take advantage of the relatively small space to provide audiences with an intimate show. For over a decade the Aladdin has been playing host to a diverse group bands from Beck to Lez Zepplin. It has won numerous awards as Portland’s favorite live music venue and is sometimes likened to a “music church.”
Before its current incarnation as a live music venue, the Aladdin already had a long history. It began as a vaudeville house known as Geller’s Theatre, in the 1920′s. When talkies became all the rage it became a family movie house. During the 70′s it began to play pornographic movies which continued until the theater was purchased by Steve Reischman and Sally Custer in the early 90′s.
The Aladdin Theater has a capacity of 620 people. It serves beer, wine, and various other beverages as well as a variety of snack foods. Those looking for a full meal might want to check out Blue Dragonfly or Edelweiss Sausage Co & Delicatessen. The theater is located at 3017 SE Milwaukie Ave. in the Abernethy and Brooklyn neighborhood. Check out their website at aladdin-theater.com for more information.
