Please contact us at info@revhallpdx.com and provide us with details like what event you are planning to attend and how we can best accommodate your needs. Please note that we have several different seating configurations.

We allow bags, parcels, gifts, boxes, etc smaller than 16”x16”x8”. All bags that are allowed into the building will be thoroughly searched. It is our security staff’s discretion to allow or not allow any bags even if they are of correct size. We do offer a $5 per bag, item check located at our box office.

Guests of all ages can attend. All guests over the age of 2 are required to have their own ticket. Just because an event is All Ages does not mean that the content is approved for guests of any age.
No. Our OLCC liquor license does not allow for us to have minors mixed with adults 21 and older when our events are listed as 21+.
We accept all IDs listed on the OLCC list of acceptable IDs; Valid State Issued Drivers Licenses or ID cards, Valid Passports, and Valid Military IDs. Valid means not expired and unaltered. The OLCC defines ‘State’ as a United State or protectorate. If you are a guest traveling from out of country we suggest bringing your passport.
If a show is listed as 21 and over or you wish to drink an adult beverage and appear under the age 30 we will ask for your ID. State law requires us to verify the age of anyone who appears under the age 26 by using one of their approved forms of ID.
If you appear to be visibly intoxicated we reserve the right to refuse access to anyone, regardless of being a ticket holder or not.
When an event is listed as general admission it means all seating and standing locations are first come first serve. Some of our events are fully seated and general admission which just means first come first serve seating. Make sure to not leave open seats between you and your neighbor so all groups can find seating.
When an event is listed as fully seated it means we have seating throughout the venue all the way up to the front of the stage and do not have any areas for standing or dancing.
There is a dance floor area in front of the stage. We pull the first 5 rows of seating to allow room. The back of the auditorium level and the balcony are still seated.
When you purchase the tickets you pick the seat you will be sitting in for the concert.
It depends on the location, but the majority of the seats labeled as such still have good views of the stage. In most cases it is just a handrail or the curvature of the room that will partially obstruct the view of one side of the stage.
Yes! Any food and beverage purchased at one of the locations in the building are allowed in the venue for most shows. Just no glass cups please!
Yes! We have several locations menus available in the building; show bar has yummy Burgers and Fries with a menu we borrowed from our sister venue, Bar Bar. Marthas has Sandwiches, Pizza, and Sandwiches. The Roof Deck has a grill menu.
The venue holds a little over 800 guests
Rock and Roll high school! The building used to be Washington (or Washington-Monroe) High School. It was built in 1924 and the last class was held here in 1981. Since then it has served various functions until 2015 when it was rehabilitated into the multi use space it is today. Most of the old classrooms are now office space or bars and restaurants and the original high school auditorium is now home to Revolution Hall.
Just send us a note at info@revhallpdx.com. We have lots of spaces that can accommodate all sorts of different types of events and configurations. We love hosting events!

Yes the closest hotel to us is the Jupiter & JupiterNext hotels about 10 blocks away. Let them know you are seeing a show at Rev Hall!
Absolutely, we think show bar is the bees knees but if your looking for something a bit more formal or just a different speed we suggest checking out Nostrana, West Coast Grocery Company, or Dan Wei Canting.
It depends on the event, but generally our policy is no professional photography, no flash photography, and please don’t be a distraction to your fellow show goers.
We often don’t know the official schedule until the day of the show and even then it is subject to change. Most events have a door time and start time listed and we do our best to start every event as close to ontime as possible. Typically opening acts play for 30-45 minutes.
