About Process PDX

Process is a bar and event space inside the Watershed building at 5040 SE Milwaukie Ave in Portland, Oregon. The bar serves seasonal craft cocktails, local wine and a wide range of non-alcoholic drinks, and it connects to a sound-treated event room with a 4-point Danley sound system and a mix of incandescent and LED lighting. The programme runs several nights a week, with ticketed and free events covering techno, house and other club music, from international guests such as SHERELLE, Fred P and Octo Octa to local series like Acid Cult, HARDWARE and a monthly Process Residency Night. The club's community agreement puts respect and consent first: there is no photography or filming on the dance floor, phones stay in the bar area, and bystanders in light-up lanyards help look after guests.
