The Parlour

if you’ve got a moustache, you should be here.
i do adore the parlour, but i won’t drop the «o» in moustache. why take the «o» from moustache and keep the «u» in parlour???
i seriously don’t get it. but what i do get is excited for the borderline bizarre variety of shows that occur here. this is a very creativity-​oriented venue, combining shows and performances with things like locally made goods and eccentric books and zines. add stumptown coffee, organic teas, and local brews on tap (while the draft selection is rather piddly, they’re still a young business, so i’m hoping this will change). throw in some gin & tonic flavored mOustache wax, and you’ve got yourself a party. i mean, i’m still working on my ‘stache, but even if you haven’t got one, the parlour is worth checking out.
prices are average to slightly above, and open hours are a little hard to determine, so i’d recommend checking their website calendar for show information. it’s a rather small space, but it’s very cozy and they make it work. it’s dimly lit and sometimes pretty loud, but it’s not a bad place to hide away for a bit and read a book.
i’ve only been in a few times since the parlour opened, so i hope to update this review with a few more specifics (and perhaps another star??). until then, show the parlour some love and stop in.
