The Embers Avenue, also known as Embers,[1] was a gay bar and nightclub located in the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, in the United States. Embers hosted a variety of events, including comedy and drag shows, karaoke, and live music.[2] The club opened in 1969,[3] and closed in late 2017.[4][5][6] The Oregonian reported in late November 2017 that the building owner has intentions to fill the space with a similar venue.[7] It was speculated in January 2018 that Badlands was expected to open that year.[8][9]

Reception
Donald Olson, writing for Frommer's, rated the venue as two out of three stars. He described the club as a primarily gay disco also appealing to straight people, with "lots of flashing lights and sweaty bodies until the early morning".[10]
