6 old aunties took out our neice for her 21st birthday in Portland. She wanted to go to Kareoke bars, so the staff at the Hotel Monaco suggested the Boiler Room. It was a great bar for people watching, not a meat market full of people picking up on each other. The pool tables were a hit for us to play while waiting for 2 hours for her to get to sing her song. The Kareoke is so popular that the only downfall is waiting 2-3 hours to get to sing, and having to listen to the not so talented people while waiting, but still entertaining. It reminded us of a small town bar where the locals would hang out regularly.

The only downside, it is a little small.
