Dante's

Dante's is a legendary downtown Portland music venue and nightclub on W Burnside Street, known for its rock shows, burlesque nights, cabaret, and late-night events that draw both locals and visitors. The area sits at the edge of Old Town and the central business district, so traffic can be busy during rush hour and on weekend evenings, especially when multiple events are happening nearby. Dante's does not have its own dedicated parking, so visitors rely on a mix of metered street spaces and public or private garages within walking distance, many of which fill quickly at peak times.

Because of the busy nightlife scene and one-way streets around Burnside, planning where to park in advance can significantly cut down on circling the blocks and help you arrive at the show on time. Street parking is typically metered into the evening hours and can be hard to find near the venue, so many drivers prefer secure garages a few blocks away for better lighting and peace of mind when leaving a car during late shows. Booking parking near Dante's ahead of your visit is especially helpful if you are unfamiliar with downtown Portland’s parking rules, time limits, and enforcement, and you should always check the latest official city and venue information before you go.
